Rafael is a physician, professor and a highly respected poet.“Poetry is in every encounter （相遇）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 absorbing ourselves in their stories, really hearing their voices. And, certainly, that's what a poem does J 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.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 poets as it does. And I think that is because there5s 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 said, "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 medicinn.14. What do RafaePs words in the second Paragraph show?A. Medical training is significantB. Poetry has no effects on medical treatment.C. Poetry is similar to medical work in a sense.D. Patients are closely linked to doctors.15. Which statement will Andrea-Schwartz agree with concerning poetry?A. It relieves patients9 family members.B. It contributes to medical work a lot.C. It has nothing to do with patients.D. It prevents doctors understanding patients.16. What does the underlined phrase “his own brand of medicine in the last paragraph mean?A. Assist the students in medical schools.B. Teach those patients in the hospital.C Write poems fbr his medical students.D. Stick to his unique way in the medical field.cA smiling panda and a walking Chinese lantern will be the mascots （吉祥物）of the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Beijing.The mascots were known to the public on Sept 17, 2019 at a ceremony in Beijing. Beijing Mayor Chen lining described them as lovely, unique, and awesome. He said they shows Chinese people's longing fbr the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics in a visually attractive way and extends Chinese people's hospitality to friends throughout the world.The panda, named Bing Dwen Dwen, is the Olympic mascot. Colourful circles around its face symbolize skating tracks and 5G technology, according to the website of the Beijing organizing committee.

The choice of the iconic animal, considered the national treasure, is not a surprise to people in China.

It is sporting （穿戴）a yellow scarf, a circle of yellow doves around its head, and a traditional Chinese paper-cut. uShuey means snow in Chinese and "Rhon Rhon“ means "inclusiveness" and "harmonization"，implying that the world civilizations communicate with each other and live in harmony, the committee said.The two mascots were selected from more than 5800 submission from 35 countries.17.

When asked where she found the courage, she gave all credit to her dad. While most parents ask their kids, “How was your day?" when sitting down for dinner, Sara's parents asked her and her brother, "What did you fail at today?” each and every night.When interviewed by CNN's Anderson Cooper, Sara said, "Instead of failure being the outcome, failure became not trying. It forced me at a young age to want to push myself so much further out of my comfort zone.24 It became more about learning and less about a personal weakness.If we view failure as weakness, we avoid stepping out of our comfort zone.25 It does not define us,but instead matures us. I'm sure that there are many risks we would all take in our personal, professional and spiritual lives if we could get past a fear of failure.What has been the greatest lesson you have learned when taking a chance? Please share with us.A. And, most importantly, it means you tried.B. Let's take a look at how Sara faced failures.C. In reality, Sara's father had re-defined failure.D. Early on, Sara overcame a series of difficulties.E. Instead, we must remind ourselves that failure is an action.F. It is important to reflect on what can be learnt from failure.G. We tend to connect failure with a bad experience we had as a child.三、完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）Carter Ries is 16 years old and has been running the non-profit organisation, One More Generation, with his sister Olivia since 2009.
