He was given the title for creating a bar of soap(肥皂) that fights low-grade skin cancer and also awarded $25,000 for his research.
Heman Bekele, who is a freshman at WT Woodson High School, moved to Virginia from Ethiopia, where he observed people constantly exposed to the sun and suffering from skin cancer. While he didn't initially give it much thought, as the competition drew near,he remembered his experiences in Ethiopia and decided to focus his research on skin cancer.
Heman started doing experiments at home and doing testing on digital models. He learned much about dendritic cells (named for their tree-like branches), which boost human immune(免疫的) responses. In his submission video to 3M, Heman explains, "When skin cancer cells develop, they weaken dendritic cells in the body, allowing the cancer to takeover." He said the soap contains agents that could potentially reactivate dendritic cells that help eliminate the cancer cells.
The soap can be applied to the skin every couple of days and then the person with skin cancer will start to see progress. "The average price of skin cancer treatment in the US alone is almost $40,000, but my bar of soap only costs $8.50 to create, and it can have the same effects as something that people would pay thousands and thousands of dollars to try to get," Heman said.
For now, Heman said he has a five-year plan. At the end of it, he hopes to have created a nonprofit organization where he can provide accessible skin cancer treatment to as many people as possible. But to achieve his goal, he would have to get his treatment through clinical trials and have it certified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), he said.
(1)、What does the author intend to tell us about Heman in paragraph 2?A、The memory of his childhood. B、The inspiration for his invention. C、The spread of skin cancer in Africa. D、The reason for his moving to Virginia.(2)、What does the underlined word "eliminate" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Avoid. B、Remove. C、A wake. D、Balance.(3)、What advantage does Heman's soap have over common treatments for skin cancer?A、It is more affordable. B、It takes effect at once. C、It has fewer side effects. D、It is suitable for all skin cancers.(4)、What does Heman think his top priority is?A、Starting a nonprofit enterprise. B、Distributing his soap to patients. C、Obtaining a drug production license. D、Applying to perform human trials.13. 阅读理解Amphibians are animals that can live both on land and in water. A new global assessment has found that 41% of amphibian species that scientists have studied are threatened with extinction. That's up from 39% reported in the last assessment in 2004.
The study, published on Wednesday in the journal Nature, found that the loss of habitat from the legal and illegal expansion of farming and ranching (放牧) contributes most to the extinction risk of amphibians worldwide. But a growing percentage of amphibian species are now also pushed to the edge of extinction by novel diseases and climate change, the study found.
Amphibians have distinct life stages that each often require separate habitats, so they can be disturbed by changes in either water or land environments, said University of Texas biologist Michael Ryan, who was not involved in the study. They are also at risk because of their delicate skin. Most amphibians absorb oxygen to breathe through their skin, and so they do not have scales (鳞), feathers or fur to protect them. Chemical pollution,bacteria and fungal(真菌的) infections impact them quickly, as do heightened swings in temperature and dampness levels due to climate change.
For example, frogs are active usually at night. If it's too hot, they won't come out even at night because they would lose too much water through their skin, said co-author and researcher Patricia Burrowes. But remaining in sheltered resting places limits frogs' ability to eat and to produce.
Juan Manuel Guayasamin, a frog biologist at the University San Francisco of Quito,Ecuador, said that advances in technology to track animals and climate variations allowed the new study to use much more precise data than the 2004 assessment."We have a much better understanding of some risks," said Guayasamin.
The study identified the greatest concentrations of threatened amphibian species in several biodiversity hot spots, including the Caribbean islands, the tropical Andes, Madagascar and Sri Lanka. Other locations with large numbers of threatened amphibians include Brazil's Atlantic Forest, southern China and the southeastern United States.
(1)、What has the new study found?A、Amphibian populations are now extinct. B、The number of amphibians is rising slightly. C、The extinction risk of amphibians has declined. D、More amphibian species are endangered than before.(2)、Which of the following is the single biggest threat to amphibians?A、Habitat loss. B、Illegal hunting. C、Novel diseases. D、Climate change.(3)、What does the author want to show by the example in paragraph 4?A、The unusual living habits of frogs. B、The unique features of the frog skin. C、The effect of climate change on amphibians. D、The urgency of protecting amphibians' habitats.(4)、What does Guayasamin think of the new study?A、Its methods are debatable. B、Its findings are more reliable. C、It needs to be better organized. D、It covers wide geographical areas.14. 阅读理解Nearly two decades ago when the Google Books Project digitized and freely distributed more than 25 million works, book publishers argued that free digital distribution weakens the market for physical books. However, new research from Imke Reimers and Abhishek Nagaraj reveals that the opposite — increased demand for physical books, through online discovery — could be true.
The two researchers focused on a particular part of Google Books' digitized works: those from Harvard University's Widener Library, which helped seed the project in its early days. The condition that enabled their experiment: Harvard's digitization effort only included out-of-copyright works, published before 1923, which were made available to consumers in their entirety. The works from 1923 and later were still copyrighted and not digitized.
The researchers analyzed a total of 37,743 books scanned (扫描) between 2005 and2009. They looked at sales for the two years before this digitization period and the two years after, and found clear differences in the increased sales between digitized and non-digitized books. Approximately 40% of digitized titles saw a sales increase from 2003-2004 to 2010-2011, compared to less than 20% of titles that were not digitized. The increase in sales was also found to be stronger for less popular books.
"If a book is readily available online, people may decide that it's a useful book and want to buy it," Reimers said. "The ‘discovery effect', which even increased the sales of a digitized author's non-digitized works, is a strong driver of increased sales. It's not a huge jump in sales, but it's still good news for publishers."
"And book lovers," Reimers said, "are known for their preference for physical books, as opposed to digital versions, which could also play a role." She added,"Whenever I talk to people about my research on books, at some point they all say,‘ I just love the feel of a digitized author's non-digitized works, is a strong driver of increased sales. It's not a huge jump in sales, but it's still good news for publishers."

(1)、Why did the researchers choose the publications before 1923 for their research?A、They were all masterpieces. B、They were mostly searchable. C、They were not protected by copyright. D、They were only partly downloaded for free.(2)、How did the researchers obtain the research findings ?A、By interviewing book users. B、By comparing the sales data. C、By classifying the book titles. D、By referring to historical records.(3)、Why does the author quote Reimers' words in the last paragraph?A、To point out the limitations of the study. B、To stress people's different reading tastes. C、To tell another contributor to the sales rise. D、To show a growing trend in reading books.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、Consumers Are Enthusiastic About E-books. B、Book Publishers Object to Digitizing Books. C、Physical Bookstores Are Declining in Importance. D、Digitizing Books Promotes Demand for Physical Copies.四、第二部分,阅读,第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

How do people respond when you have a talk with them? Maybe they brush your emotions aside or never listen to you. Some tips will help you gain respect by communicating more effectively.
Use confident body language. This type of body language can increase your self-respect and help you earn people's respect. Confident body language can include good eye contact and appropriate postures(姿势). Keep your eyes forward instead of down.

17. 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A 5,100-year-old dam, capable of flood control and irrigation(灌溉), has been identified as China's earliest (know ) water engineering project. The Xiongjialing Dam is part of the Qujialing relics site in Jingmen, China's Hubei Province.
The dam was initially built around 5,100 years ago on a branch of the Qingmudang River. The (exist) dam measures 2 meters in height, 13 meters in width and 180meters in length. It has a water storage area to the east, equal to the size of three West Lakes, and 8.5-hectare irrigation area to the west, with the (late) found to have been an expanse of prehistory rice field. A flood way at the northern side of the water storage area allowed for discharge (排放) of extra water during flood seasons. The dam (construct) with local earth, which was mixed with plant roots ( increase) the structure's toughness.
The design of the water project suggests that prehistoric (ancestor) in the area had learned to control water use rather than (simple) defending against floods and droughts. The Qujialing relics site is famous for witnessing the first-ever discovery carbonized rice along the midstream of the Yangtze River. Researchers say the dam further illustrates that, in the Neolithic Age, the area had a mature rice-growing agriculture. That's this relies heavily on irrigation.

19. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。Seven-year-old Maggie was a grade-one pupil. She often spent her free time socializing with the seniors at a local retirement facility. In general, she would talk about puzzles, ice cream bars, and everything under the sun with the seniors. But most particularly, Maggie read to them, which she called her sweet mission. Once or twice a week, the little girl put a few books in her backpack and got ready to visit the elderly at the facility.
This sweet mission began on a snowy day. Maggie's mom, Tiffany Kuznia, worked at the retirement facility and often brought her daughter with her to work. As little Maggie was packing her bag, Kuznia reminded her to bring her Nintendo Switch so she would not get bored. Maggie quickly replied that she had different plans for the day. "I'm going to bring books and Tm going to read to the residents," she declared.
On arrival, the girl knocked on every door of the facility to offer her services. That day,she made a good start. Patti Griggs, a retired elementary school teacher, was astonished by her reading talent. "She's such a good little reader. I taught first-grade kids how to read. There were very few children who could come in and read like that,"said Griggs.
With time, Maggie became so beloved among the residents that she even had "regulars" she read to every week. She often visited each one for over an hour. Her mom checked on her regularly to make sure she wasn't overstaying her welcome. Much to Maggie's delight, the residents were more than happy to have her with them for an extended period of time. They were always ready to help her out when she struggled with new words.Such hiccups (小问题) happened less and less and Maggie grew more confident of reading aloud.
Two months later, Maggie realized that her companions had different hobbies and interests. And their educational levels varied from person to person. It was high time that she should make some changes.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Maggie decided to choose different books according to their tastes.
With Patti Griggs' help, a personalized reading plan was ready.
