In 2015, Professor Wang Zhenyi, who specializes in treating acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), received a letter of thanks from America. The writer of the letter was Mrs Bernadette Giandomenico, who once suffered from APL but was cured with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), a treatment developed by Wang and his medical team.

Born in 1924 in Shanghai, Wang was inspired by a family friends experience of pursuing a career in medicine. His grandmothers death caused by typhoid further strengthened his resolve to fight against diseases and rescue patients. With outstanding academic (學術的) performance, Wang became a doctor at Guangci Hospital, todays Ruijin Hospital.

In 1978, a research paper from Israeli experts gave Wang inspiration on studying how leukemia cells could become normal. His research didnt progress as expected, though. In 1983, another research paper shed light on his study. As the paper suggested, after being treated with 13-cis-retinoic acid, white blood cells in patients with APL could become normal. Considering the difficulties and high cost of producing a drug made from 13-cis-retinoic acid, Wangs team decided to replace that ingredient with ATRA, and they finally verified its positive effect after several months experiments. In 1986, the drug was first adopted in treating a five-year-old patient. It turned out successful. After eight years of research, Wangs team eventually made the first breakthrough in the battle against APL.

To make sure every APL patient could afford the medicine, Wang hasnt patented (獲得專利權) his research result to date. “One cannot be a real doctor if one does not have expertise in medicine,” Wang said in an interview. “However, without a kind heart, a skilled doctor may cause harm to patients.”

Having worked in the field of hematopathology (血液病理學) for over 70 years, Wang has been well recognized for his remarkable contribution to saving lives.

1. Why did Mrs Giandomenico write a letter to Professor Wang?

A. To ask for medical suggestions.B. To share her battle against APL.

C. To express her appreciation.D. To update information about her treatment.

2. What strengthened Wangs determination to become a doctor?

A. His grandmothers death.B. His great academic achievement.

C. The inspiration from foreign experts.D. The example of a family friend.

3. What does the underlined word “verified” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Shared.B. Improved.C. Predicted.D. Confirmed.

4. What does Wang think is more important as a doctor?

A. Kindness.B. Politeness.C. Skills.D. Patience.

A

Vincent van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853, in a small village in the Netherlands. As a child, he was serious and sensitive. He loved to draw, and his work showed talent, but no one encouraged him to become an artist. Instead, his father thought he should take a job—something like a carpenter. As a young adult, he wandered from job to job with little success and very little money, becoming more depressed with each failure. In March 1880, however, just before his 27th birthday, something changed inside van Gogh. He realized he was meant to be a painter, and he began to study art in Brussels, receiving money from his brother Theo, which helped him to live.

In 1886, van Gogh moved to Paris, hoping to learn more about color techniques being used by Impressionist artists there. Instead of grays and browns, his work began to use blue and red, and then yellow and orange. Soon he began to see life differently: Go slow. Stop thinking. Look around. Youll see something beautiful if you open yourself. These were the principles (原則) that guide his art. With his innovative use of colors, van Gogh wanted to show his viewers how to better appreciate a flower, the night sky, or a persons face.

Today, people around the world immediately recognizeStarry NightandSunflowers—both painted in bold, intense colors—as the work of Vincent van Gogh. Probably no other artist, at any time in any culture, has achieved such popularity. HisPortrait of Dr Gachetsold in 1990 reached more than $80 million, breaking the world record for art pieces. Many of his other works have also sold for millions. Of course, people are buying great art when they purchase his paintings. But they are also buying a piece of his story, which, like his work, will live on forever.

1. What can we infer about van Gogh from Paragraph 1?

A. He got artistic talent from his father. B. He showed a strange character as a child.

C. He decided to be a painter in adulthood. ?D. He received art lessons by working part-time.

2. Why did van Gogh go to Paris in 1886?

A. To see life with a different view.??? B. To explore more color techniques.

C. To become an Impressionist artist.?? D. To show the way of art appreciation.

3. The author mentionedPortrait of Dr Gachetto show_____.

A. van Goghs use of colors B. the paintings high value

C. the new record for art pieces??????????? D. van Goghs popularity

4. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?

A. To introduce a great artist.???????????? B. To promote artistic principles.

C. To encourage studies on art.????????????? D. To emphasize the value of art.

B

For the past several years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to recreating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.

The authors intention remains as mysterious as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didnt truly grasp any of the skills the author described.

Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isnt just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eye problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.

The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how an object was made in order to preserve it. Whats more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colors. We cant appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared.

Smith has put the manuscripts ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together. She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.

If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors.

5. How did Smith feel after reading the French manuscript?

A. Confused.?? B. Frightened.??? C. Discouraged.?? D. Shocked.

6. Why is the reconstruction work done according to Smith?

A. To restore old workshops.??? B. To take a look into the craftsmens life.

C. To improve visual effects.???? D. To inspire the philosophers.

7. Why does the author mention museums?

A. To reveal the beauty of ancient objects.? B. To present the findings of old science.

C. To highlight the importance of antiques.? D. To emphasize the values of hand skills.

8. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists??? B. Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories

C. Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists??? D. Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science
