B Nine years ago,Heman Bekele received a gift-a chemistry set.He used it to make"potions()".At that time,only his parents knew his work.Now.at the age of 15,there are a lot more people watching his work. In October 2023,3M and Discovery Education named Heman as the winner of their Young Scientist Challenge with a prize of $25,000 because he invented a soap that could one day be used to treat some kinds of skin cancer(皮肤)， Heman was born in Addis Ababa,the capital city of Ethiopia,in Africa.He moved to the US with his family at 4.He remembers seeing people in Africa working in the hot sun without any protection for their skin.And that can be the main cause of skin cancer. Skin-cancer treatments usually cost about $40,000.Heman wondered if there was a cheaper way.He thought of adding a skin-cancer medicine to soap. "What is something that everyone is able to buy?"Heman thought to himself. "Everyone uses soap and water for cleaning.Therefore,soap would probably be the best choice.” It could take years before the soap is ready to be sold.But Heman,the 10th grader at Woodson High School,is determined.Over the summer,he spent every weekday in a lab.When he goes back to school this fall,he'll be in the lab less often. But he'll keep working hard to make his dream come true. Heman encourages all kids to dream big."Just keep inventing things,"he says. "Keep thinking of new ways to improve our world." 第3页共9页 19.When did Heman get the chemistry set? A.n2023. B.About 6 years ago. C.When he was in the 10th Grade.

D.To introduce Heman and his invention. C So what is the story on wind energy?I have been doing some research.Wind turbines()seem to be a pretty good way to produce energy.They do not pollute the air,they are less expensive to build than power stations,and they do not use up fossil fuels,which are non-renewable resources( 再生资源).I found out that some people do not like wind turbines.I am going to tell you some of the problems they point out,and my thoughts on each problem. Problem 1:Birds are killed.when they fly into wind turbines.Okay,that makes sense,but my research tells me that more birds are killed each year by flying into tall buildings that keep their lights on at night.A huge number of birds are killed each year by pet cats that people let wander outside.In fact,the number of birds killed by wind turbines is much lower.If we want to save birds,let us pay more attention to the bigger problems. Problem 2:Wind turbines produce energy only on windy days.Yes,that is true. But no one is talking about using only wind turbines to produce energy.We do need to have other sources of energy to use on days when there is no wind.Wind turbines can help us reduce the amount of pollution that other energy sources put into the air. Also,wind turbines can help us use less energy from non-renewable sources. Problem 3:Wind turbines make too much noise.Noise can be a problem when we build wind turbines in areas where people live and work.We do not have to build wind turbines in those places.There is a lot of open land in North America where wind turbines would not bother anyone.I also found out that peeple are working te design wind turbines that are much quieter. 23.What problems do some people point out about wind turbines? 第4页共9页 D They are expensive to build. ②They kill birds.. 3 Thcy can't be uscd when there's no wind. 4 They are not quiet enough. A.①②③ B.①③④ C.①②④ D.②③④ 24.According to the text,where can we build wind turbines? A Next to schools. B.Near the factories. G.Close to people's houses. D.In the open area. 25.How dees the writer show his/her opinion in Faragraph 2! A.By listing numbers. B.By making comparisons. C.By giving examples. D.By using pictures. 26.Which of the following might the writer agree? A.More birds are killed by wind turbines than by tall buildings B.Wind turbines produce less energy than fossil fuels. C.Wind turbines will make less noise one day. D.We shouldn't question the use of wind turbines.
