“I’m always grateful for the respect I received from my parents, teachers and friends,” she said. “They never give me special attention for my imperfection, which means I’ve never seen myself as different from anyone else.” In the future, she wants to continue scientific research and contribute（贡献）her values to solving problems of life and health.

For the past 20 years, the Touching China annual people award has honored people from all walks of life across the country. They are people who warm our hearts with their actions. On March 3 2022, the 2021 Touching China Award ceremony aired on CCTV. Ten inspirational role models were on the list, Yang Zhenning is one of them. When mentioning the greatest theoretical physicists in the world, Yang Zhenning is a name never to be forgotten.

Yang was born on September 22, 1922, in Hefei Anhui, China, and grew up in the peaceful and academical atmosphere of the campus of Tsinghua University. From a young age he had an interest in physics. At the age of 12, Yang showed his great ambition to win a Nobel Prize after being attracted by a book about the unknowns of the universe.

With this goal in mind, Yang studied hard. After getting a master’s degree in Tsinghua University in 1944, Yang got the opportunity to further his studies in the United States. There he met another Chinese student, Tsung-dao Lee (李政道), who shared the same interests, and they often discussed the physics issues together.

In 1957, the two jointly proposed the theory of parity non-conservation in weak interactions (弱相互作用中宇称不守恒), which made a great contribution to high-energy physics. Once the theory was put forward, it immediately caused a sensation (轰动) in the physics community. Months later, the two won the Nobel Prize in Physics. It let other Chinese people know that Chinese scientists could stand out in the global science community and be on the global frontier (前沿) to compete with their peers.

At the Nobel Banquet, Yang also expressed his pride, saying, “I am as proud of my Chinese heritage and background as I am devoted to modern science, a part of human civilization of Western origin.” No matter where he has been, Yang Zhenning has always had his motherland in mind.

However, the frozen Sino-US relationship prevented Chinese scientists who obtained (获得) doctoral degrees from the US like Yang from returning to China. In 1971, Yang finally got the chance to return to China for a visit. Later, to support domestic education, Yang sold a mansion in the US, donating all the money to Tsinghua University. In 2003, Yang returned to China and also taught at Tsinghua. Under his influence, many overseas Chinese also returned to China to make contributions, such as Turing Award winner Yao Qizhi, physicist Wu Xiaogang, mathematician Zhang Shouwu.

15．Which of the following statements is wrong?

A．Yang Zhenning knew Tsung-dao Lee in Tsinghua University and got the Nobel Prize together.

B．Yang Zhenning takes pride in owning Chinese background.

C．Yang Zhenning couldn’t return his motherland because of the Sino-US relationship.

16．What does the underlined word mean?

A．站出来                              B．表现                                 C．站起来

17．What’s the best title for this article?

A．Yang Zhenning’s love to his country.

B．Yang Zhenning’s influence.

C．Yang Zhenning-one of the 2021 Touching China annual people.

18．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (P1=Paragraph 1)
