Sam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School, but poetry is still a big part of his life, now with a new teacher, Rafael Campo, who believes poetry can benefit every doctor’s education and work. Rafael is a physician, professor and a highly respected poet.

“Poetry is in every e ncounter (邂逅) with my patients. I think healing is really in a very great way about poetry. And if we do anything when we’re with our patients, we’re really immersing (使沉浸于) ourselves in their stories, really hearing their voices. And, certainly, that’s wh at a poem does,” he said.

Rafael worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today: humanity, which he finds in poetry. To end that, he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents (住院医生).

He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients, and poems can help close that gap.

Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars. She said, “I think there’s no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does. And I think that is because there’s just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest.” Not everyone believes that’s what doctors should do, though.

Rafael sai d, “I was afraid of how people might judge me, actually. In the medical profession, as many people know, we must always put the emergency first. But, you know, that kind of treatment, if it’s happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasn’t survived the cancer. Don’t we still have a role as healers there?”

In a poem titled “Health”, Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy. He says he will continue teaching students, helping patients and writing poems, his own brand of medicine.

24. What do we know about Rafael Campo?

A. He works as a doctor.

B. He is under medical care.

C. He is a literature professor.

D. He knows little about poetry.

25. What does the author try to show in Paragraph 2?

A. The importance of medical training.

B. The effect of poetry in medical treatment.

C. The similarity involved in poetry and medical work.

D. The present relationship between patients and doctors.

26. What does Andrea Schwartz think of poetry?

A. It comforts patients’ family.

B. It contributes to medical work.

C. It has nothing to do with doctors.

D. It keeps doctors away from patients.

27. What is Rafael Campo’s view on poetry?

A. It requires a lot of spare time.

B. It can provide a useful tool for doctors.

C. It has little effect on patients’ conditions.

D. It should be included in emergency treatments.

C

A butterfly’s wings can have many jobs besides keeping the insect high up in the air. They may be used to attract mates, or to warn potential attackers to stay away. All of these roles, though, depend on their unchanging colouration. This plays into the idea that butterfly wings are dead tissue, like a bird’s feathers. In fact, that’s not true. For example, in some species males’ wings have special cells releasing some chemicals which attract females.

Nanfang Yu, a physicist at Columbia University, in New York, has been

looking into the matter. Together with Naomi Pierce, a butterfly specialist at

Harvard University, he has now shown, in a paper published in Nature Communications in February, 2020, that butterfly wings are, indeed, very much

alive.

In their experiments, the two researchers used a laser(激光) to heat up spots on the wings of dozens of butterfly species. When the temperature of the area under the laser reached 40°C or so, the insects responded within seconds by doing things that stopped their wings heating up further. These actions included a butterfly turning around to minimize its profile to the laser, moving its wings up and down or simply walking away.

Butterflies engaged in all of these heat-minimising activities even when the researchers blindfolded them. That suggested the relevant sensors were on the wings themselves. Dr Yu and Dr Pierce therefore searched those wings for likely looking sensory cells. They found some, in the form of neurons(神经元) that were similar to heat detectors known from other insects. They also uncovered disc-shaped cells that appeared to be similar to pressure-sensitive neurons. They guess that these are there to detect deformation of the wing—information an insect could use to control its flight pattern.

The third discovery they made to contradict the “dead wing” idea was that some butterfly wings hav e a heartbeat. A butterfly’s wings have veins(静脉). These carry a bloodlike liquid which, researchers have now found in males, shows a pulse(脉搏) of several dozen beats per minute. The source of this pulse appears to be the scent(气味) pad, a dark spot on the wings that produces the female-attracting chemicals. Apparently, this “wing heart” acts as a pump that helps bloodlike liquid through the scent pad.

In all their experiments simulating different environmental conditions, Dr Yu and Dr Pierce consistently found that, different parts of the wing are covered by different sorts of scales(鳞屑). In particular, tubes pass through scales over the scent pads. This improves their ability to spread heat away and helps keep the living parts of a butterfly’s wings alive.

28. A bird’s feathers are mentioned in Paragraph 1 to _____.

A. introduce the latest research findings on a bird

B. highlight the special feature of a bird’s feathers

C. show common knowledge about butterfly wings

D. stress the difference between a butterfly and a bird

29. What can we learn from Dr Yu and Dr Pierce’s experiments?

A. Butterfly wings are complicated living organs.

B. Butterfly wings have little reaction to external heat.

C. The scent pads on some male butterfly wings are their hearts.

D. Heat-minimising activities help detect deformation of the wings.

30. What is the function of scales over the scent pads?

A. Attracting mates.

B. Increasing blood flow.

C. Covering powerful tubes.

D. Producing the cooling effect.

31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

.

A Seeing Is Believing B. More Than Meets The Eye

C. Nothing Seek, Nothing Find

D. Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds

D

A new device works like a solar panel, except that it doesn’t harvest energy from the sun. It absorbs energy from the cold night sky.

A prototype (原型) of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light bulb. A bigger version might one day light rooms or charge phones. It also could power electronics in remote or low-resource areas that lack electricity.

The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space. It then uses that difference to create electricity. As long as one side of it is cooler than the other, the generator can produce electricity. The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminum plate. That plate is

sealed beneath a transparent cover and surrounded with insulation (隔热材料) to keep out heat. The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate. That plate is warmed by the local air. At night, the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator.

Researchers tested a 20-centimeter prototype one clear December night in Stanford, California. The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of device. That was enough power to light a small light-emitting diode, or LED bulb. Further improvements might increase its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter. To do that, the system might need more insulation around the cool top plate.

The device also could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices, says Aaswath Raman. He is a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of California, Los Angeles. This ma y be useful in polar regions that don’t see sunlight for months at a time, Raman says. “If you have some low-power load and you need to power it through three months of darkness, this might be a way.”

32. What can we know about the new device?

A. It gains energy from the sun.

B. It’s been widely used in life.

C. It is cooler than a solar panel.

D. It’ll be popular in special areas.

33. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 3?

A. Application fields of the device.

B. The developing process of the device.

C. The working principle of the device.

D. Significant effects of the device.

34. How can the device produce more electricity?

A. By putting more insulation around the top plate.

B. By using it in extremely cold and clear nights.

C. By attaching the bottom plate to a warm plate.

D. By covering the top plate with a transparent lid.

35. What could be a suitable title for the text?

A. A Device Using the Cold Night Sky to Produce Electricity

B. A Device Bringing New Hope for Those in the Cold Night

C. The Difference Between a Solar Panel and a New Device

D. The Temperature Difference Between Earth and Outer Space

Hearing the words, Michelle went to her bedroom and took all the coins from her little money box. After counting the coins three times, she slipped out the back door and made her way to the drug store 6 blocks away…

She waited for a long time before the pharmacist(药剂师)turned around and asked her,“And what do you want？”

“Well, it's about my brother, ”Michelle answered, “he's really really sick. And I want to buy a miracle.”

“I beg your pardon? ”said the pharmacist.

“His name is Jack. And he has something ve ry bad growing inside his body. And my daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost? ”

“We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I am sorry. But I can't help you. ” The pharmacist said.

“Listen, I have the money to pay for it. ”With these words, Michelle poured out all the coins from her pocket.

At this time, a well-dressed man behind Michelle stooped down and asked the little girl, "I am selling the miracle you want. Tell me how much money you have.”

"One dollar and eleven cents, "Michelle answered in a low voice, " That's all the money I have. But I can get some more if I need to.”

“Well,” smiled the man, “a dollar and eleven cents. The exact price of a miracle for your little brother. Show me the place where your brother l ives.”

Students Visit to Yalin Ecological Garden

Last Saturday, some students took part in an activity organized by the school Student Union. They paid a visit to Yalin Ecological Garden.

Upon arrival, they were greatly attracted by the garden. They admired various beautiful flowers, trees and plants. Then, they went into the fields to pick fruit and vegetables. They also learned a great deal of knowledge about modern agriculture from the gardeners.

This activity benefited the students a lot. It not only broadened their horizons but also raised their awareness of green life.

读后续写

Paragraph 1

Holding the man's hand firmly, Michelle took him home. The little girl walked in such a hurry that she even forgot to introduce herself to the man. Her parents were too surprised to believe their eyes. That well-dressed man turned out to be a surgeon, specializing in neural surgery. Later, the

little brother was taken away. The operation was completed with payment of one dollar and eleven cents. And it wasn't long before Jack was home again and doing well! Michelle was more than happy. Now she knew the exact price of al miracle: one dollar and eleven cents, plus the faith of a little girl.

Paragraph 2

When asked why he chose to help the family, the man detailed, “When I was young myself, I was once in the same situation as the little baby. The little girl reminded me of my own sister. It was she who saved my life, Deeply impressed by her innocence, I was determined to help the family out of trouble. It doesnt matter how much money she actually had with her; what matters is her faith, a faith that miracles do exist.”
