21、A rising star from Virginia has secured the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” for his groundbreaking creation — a bar of soap designed to battle against skin cancer. At just 14 years old, Heman Bekele emerged as the victor of the 2023 Young Scientist Challenge, standing out among the ten finalists with his innovative creation known as the Skin Cancer Treating Soap (SCTS).
Bekele’s brilliant concept centers on the development of a soap that is not only affordable, but also has the potential to reactivate the body’s natural defenders of the skin to stop skin cancer. In Bekele’s own words, “Curing cancer, one bar of soap at a time. ”He always has endless passion for biology and technology, and the Young Scientist Challenge just provided him with the perfect platform to display his ideas. Reflecting on his inspiration, Bekele shared that his childhood played a significant role in shaping his innovative thinking. Having witnessed people work tirelessly under the sun, he couldn’t help but wonder how many were aware of the risks associated with constant sun exposure.
“I wanted to make my idea not only scientifically exceptional but also accessible to a broad audience,” Bekele expressed during an interview with the media. He received invaluable guidance from Deborah Isabelle, a product engineering specialist, who connected him with other scientists to aid him in reaching his ambitious plans.
During his presentation, Bekele passionately expressed his vision of turning the soap into “a symbol of hope, accessibility, and a world where skin cancer treatment is within reach for all.”
Over the coming five years, Bekele longs to perfect his invention and establish a nonprofit organization devoted to distributing his innovative creation to more places including undeveloped communities, offering hope and a practical solution in the fight against skin cancer.
【1】What made Bekele an instant hit?
A．Starting a soap fashion.

22、 Many of us wonder what lies in outer space. When we look up at the night sky, we see stars, the twinkle of a moving satellite and occasionally a faraway planet. But one thing we don’t see is the millions of pieces of junk（垃圾）filling up space.
The amount of space junk is increasing. Over the last few decades, satellites and rockets have been launched into space, littering the universe as they go. It’s judged there are now millions of discarded（丢弃的）pieces of metal and other materials in orbit—everything from old rocket parts to accidentally dropped astronaut tools. The fear is that if we don’t start taking this litter out of the sky soon, it will become a significant threat to active satellites. Nobu Okada, Chief Executive of Astroscale—a company working on ways to clean up space junk—says hitting “even a small paint spot… has enough power to blow up other satellites.”
Several ideas are being looked at to catch the debris（碎片）floating around in space. In 2018, the Remove Debris spacecraft carried out various experiments, which include testing a net that could catch a satellite and firing a harpoon（标枪）at a target in orbit to try to catch it.
This year the UK Space Agency is helping to fund new approaches to tracking satellites and debris in space. Jacob Geer from UKSA told the BBC: “Space monitoring and tracking is one of the key things we can do to keep safe those satellites we depend on now, and to make sure certain orbits don’t become inaccessible for future generations because there’s too much debris in them.”
It’s clear that a solution is needed so a deep clean in space can take place. But looking to the future, like any litter problem, we need to look at ways of creating less—and that shouldn’t be the matter of science fiction.
【1】What is happening to junk in outer space?
A．It has caused serious pollution.
B．The amount of it is increasing.
C．It can be seen by people on the earth.
D．It has influenced the launch of satellites.
【2】What are human beings doing with space junk?
A．They have invented a net to track and catch junk.
B．They are working to find ways to clean up space junk.
C．They are worried and feel hopeless to control space junk.
D．They are raising money to encourage solutions to space junk.
【3】According to Jacob Geer, ________.
A．a satellite might crash with the junk and blow up.
B．humans are depending on satellites for development.
C．too much space junk would affect future generations.
D．it’s necessary to fund new approaches to tracking satellites.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Ideas to collect space junk are only seen in science movies.
B．Humans have found ways to create less junk in space.
C．It takes time to find a solution to space junk clean.
D．The solution of space junk should be put into practice.
23、 Two vaccines（疫苗）developed by a Maryland company are showing promise in the fight against malaria（疟疾）. One vaccine was 100 percent effective in preventing the deadly disease malaria.
Malaria is a disease caused by parasites（寄生虫）and carried by mosquitoes. Parasites are organisms that live on or in an organism of another species and feed off it or get protection from it. Mosquitoes spread the disease to people by biting on their skin. The World Health Organization says there are 214 million cases of malaria each year. And the deadly disease kills over 400,000 people a year worldwide. People who have malaria often have a fever, chills, and flu-like illness. Serious complications happen, including death, when the disease is left untreated.
The new vaccines work by preparing the immune system to fight the disease. Researchers do this by introducing live, but weakened, young parasites called sporozoites. They are injected into the body by infected mosquitoes. Both vaccines target Plasmodium Falciparum（恶性疟原虫），which is the most common and deadly form of the disease.
One successful trail was carried out in Germany. Different amounts of the vaccine were injected into 27 healthy people who volunteered for the study. Another group of 15 was given a placebo, which is a substance given to a patient like a drug, but t has no physical effect on the person. Eight to 10 weeks after the last vaccine amount, both groups were then exposed to the parasites that carried the malaria.
Stephen Hoffman is chief executive and scientific officer of Sanaria. He says the researchers were surprised by the results from nine of the people who received the highest vaccine amount. “We got 100% protection against malaria at ten weeks after the last amount of the vaccine. That is really beginning to look like something quite extraordinary and that's never been done before.”
【1】What can we know about malaria?
A.It is a disease that can't be treated.
B.It kills people when left untreated.
C.It is a deadly disaster with a high death rate.
D.It is a flu-like disease caused by mosquitoes.
【2】How do the new vaccines function to fight malaria?
A.By killing parasites in the mosquitoes.
B.By getting rid of most of the mosquitoes.
C.By injecting parasites into mosquitoes' body.
D.By restarting the immune system of people's body.
【3】How does Stephen Hoffman think of the experiment effect of the vaccine?
A.Remarkable. B.Unpredictable. C.Unsatisfactory. D.Unreasonable.
【4】Which section of a magazine is the text probably from?

24、Geoffrey is a 10-pund pink delivery robot developed by Canadian company Tiny Mile. It is controlled from a distance by a human using a computer and a joystick(操纵杆), navigating with GPS and watching through cameras.
With Geoffrey, we don’t need to keep delivery humans standing around waiting for the order to be ready, and all those restaurant humans watching their food get cold when the driver hasn’t shown up- two big problems in the industry.
Account manager Omar Elawi says “Right now, the delivery robots are mostly controlled by young people with a history of gaming, who are comfortable navigating(定位)the streets on a street with a joystick. But we are trying to push the idea of jobs for disabled people who could work from home.
Tiny Mile sees their market as being very local food service. Even though Geoffrey can run for eight hours, it is meant to travel a little over a mile at walking speed, so that delivered food will be fresh and hot.
Some people wonder whether the delivery robots can survive if someone tries to turn them over or steal their lunch, but Elawi says this has not been a big problem. “There have been no real problems, an amazing reaction actually. A couple of kids were throwing snowballs. Many people would actually help it when it got struck in the snow.” Soon it will even have a speaker so that the driver can say thank you for the help.
Another different thing about Tiny Mile’s delivery robots is that the drivers are paid. Edward Trill says, “Unlike usual delivery robots, Geoffrey isn’t here to take away jobs, but eventually create more-with higher pay.” It will also be more environmentally friendly as it products more. A few years from now it is going to sound silly that we use a car to carry a food box.” He adds.
【1】What do we know about Geoffrey?
A．It works all by itself.
B．It weights as much as an adult.
C．It can produce delicious food.
D．It can improve delivery service.
【2】What can we learn from Omar Elawi’s words in paragraph 3?
A．They want to provide delivery service for disabled people.
B．Young people are their first choice to work with the robots.
C．They plan to involve disabled people in operating the robots.
D．Young people are more interested in robots than other groups.
【3】What’s Elawi’s attitude towards the use of robots.
A．Amazed.
B．Confident.
C．Concerned.
D．Doubtful.
【4】How is Geoffrey different from other delivery robots?
A．It won’t reduce job opportunities
B．It can say thank you to people.
C．It can travel faster than cars.
D．It won’t consume energy.
