people win attention because of their good looks or their singing ability.A much smaller numbergain fame because they have done something important and worthwhile with their abilities.Rishab Jain is amongthe latter.In 2018,13-year-oldRishab developed a way to use AItechnology to help pancreatic(胰腺的)cancerpatients and won the3MYoung Scientist Challenge,a nationwide middle-school science competition,and its$25,000 prize.In the last stage of the contest,Rishab competed againstnine other finalists at the 3M Innovation Center(创新中心)in St.Paul,Minnesota.Leading up to the big meet,each finalist had partnered with a scientist to furtherdevelop their inventions.Rishab explains what led him to create his invention.First,a family friend died of cancer.Then Rishab learnedabout how deadly pancreatic cancer is,and that its low survival rate is due to how difficult it is to treat.Im alsointo programming,so I was learning about AI technology.I decided to try to solve a real-world problem using it.His winnings have been put in further research and in his nonprofit Samyak Science Society,which helps poorchildren enter the STEM(science,technology,engineering and math)education.Rishab is also raising awarenessabout pancreatic cancer.These efforts make him quite different from teenagers of his age.Considering becominga biomedical engineer or a doctor 一 or both,he has also put some money aside to further his own learning.Almost certainly the doors of higher education will open wide to him before he even knocks.Thats an outstanding outlook for one so young.Rashib is committed to

Alzheimers disease inKentucky.“We tried everything photos,old stories but nothing worked,”she said.“It was really hard for everyoneto see how she had changed.”Then one day whileSandywas in a toy store,she had an idea:Why not givePearlababy doll so she could feel as if she were caring for something again?And why not give one to all the other carecenter seniors?As soon asSandygavePearlthe doll,her mothers face lit up.“She started talking again and she never wentanywhere without that baby,”Sandysaid.“She took baby to the dining room with her and slept with her in herarms every night.When she passed away a year later,we even buried her with that well-loved baby doll.”In the following 10 years,Sandy and her husband,Wayne Cambron,continued to buy dolls and hand themout to the elderly of care centers near their home every New Year.Now Pearls Memory Babies is anonprofit(非营利)organization that has contributed more than 300 dolls to old people with Alzheimers disease at nursinghomes since February 2018.Last year,Sandyposted New Years photos on Facebook,all of which are about seniors reacting to dollsthatshe and Wayne sent to a local nursing home.The post was shared more than 210,000 times overnight.Peoplegave almost$15,000 online.That helped the group buy many dolls.“The dolls offer treatment and comfort,”said Elise Hinchman,who works at a care center

Helps Mother Recover MemoryCIf you ever find yourself trapped in the wilderness without food,youllhave to figure out how to feed yourself.Many plants in the wild areedible,but many are also poisonous.So it is necessary to learn how to determinewhether the plants you find can be eaten safely.Avoid using this method without careful planning.Some plants can be deadly,and even if you follow theseguidelines perfectly,there is always a chance that a plant will make you seriously ill.Prepare yourself forwilderness outings by learning about the local plants,and carry a guidebook to help you identify plants.Even ifyou are unprepared and cannot find food you know to be safe,remember that,depending on your activity level,the human body can go for days without food,and youre better off being hungry than being poisoned.Testing the plant in your mouth is dangerous,so go forward very slowly and carefully.First,hold a smallportion of the prepared plant part against your lip for 3 minutes.Do not put the plant in your mouth.If you noticeany burning,tingling(刺痛),or other reactions,discontinue testing.Second,place another small portion of theplant part on your tongue.Hold the plant on your tongue without chewing for 15 minutes.Discontinue testing ifyou notice any reaction.Third,chew the plant and holdit in your mouth for 15 minutes.Chew the plant well,anddo not swallow.Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction.Fourth,swallow the small portion of the plant.Wait8 hours.Do not eat or drink anything during this period except purified water.If you feel sick,immediately throwup what you eat and drink plenty of water.If activated charcoal(活性炭)is available,take that with the water.8.Whats the meaning of the underlined world“edible”in paragraph 1?A.Suitable for using as food.B.Widely spread.C.Existing in large quantities.D.Not widely known.9.What can we know from paragraph 2?A.Planning is unnecessary when using the method.B.Not all plants in the wild can serve as food generally.C.Suffering hunger can be more dangerous than testing plants.D.Following the method perfectly can ensure safety.10.Which is the correct order of testing plants in the mouth?wait and see chew it in the mouth put it on the tongue put it against lips swallow itA.B.C.D.11.Where might the passage come from?A.A students diary.B.A science report.C.A guide book for camping.D.A doctor s notebook.DThe shade of a single tree can provide welcome relief from the hot summer sun.But when that single tree ispart of a small forest,it creates a considerable cooling effect.According to a study published today in theProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,trees play a big role in keeping our cities cool.According to the study,the right amount of tree cover can lower summer daytime temperatures by as muchas 10 degrees Fahrenheit.And the effect is quite noticeable from neighborhood to neighborhood,even down tothe scale of a single city block.“We knew that cities are warmer than the surrounding countryside,but we foundthat temperatures vary just as much within cities,”says Monica Turner,a professor in the department ofIntegrative Biology,Wisconsin-Madison University and a co-author of the study.With climate change making extreme heat events more common each summer,city planners are working onhow to prepare.Heat waves drive up energy demands and costs and can have big human health impacts.Onepotentially powerful tool,the studys authors say,are organisms that have been around long before humancivilizations could appreciate their leafy benefits.And those trees may be the secret to keeping the places we livelivable.Essentially,says Turner,roads,sidewalks and buildings absorb heat from the sun during the day and slowlyrelease that heat at night.Trees,on the other hand,not only shade those surfaces from the suns rays,they alsorelease water into the air through their leaves,a process that cools things down.To get the maximum benefit of this cooling service,the study found that tree cover must be more than 40percent.In other words,an aerial picture of a single city block would need to be nearly half-way covered by a leafygreen network of branches and leaves.12.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A.Temperatures in cities mainly depend on their green coverage.B.People living and working in cities must plant trees in summer.C.Cities are warmer than the countryside because they dont have trees.D.An area with more trees can be cooler than the other parts within a city.13.Which of the following problems is caused by extreme heat events?A.Severe damage of city facilities.B.Serious human health problems.C.Residents growing demands for plants.D.Unnecessary waste of energy resources.14.Why are trees crucial to cities?A.They help shade and cool the cities.B.They make urban scenery beautiful.C.They build up city cooling systems.D.They essentially block and release heat.15.What can city planners conclude from the study?A.They should publish the study in a newspaper.B.They should educate citizens to protect forests.C.They should plant trees on roads and sidewalks.D.They should cover nearly half the city with trees.第二节（共第二节（共 5 5
