Section Ⅰ　Reading and Thinking （1） 阅读理解 A 　　In 2010， Justin Horner was driving down a busy freeway in Portland， Ore.， when his tire blew out.He pulled over to the side of the road and made a sign that said he needed help. 　　Three hours later， a van finally pulled up.Out came a family of four.They were Latino， and their young daughter acted as translator between her parents’ Spanish and Horner’s English， so that they could work together to fix Horner’s car. 　　They took about an hour， starting with the father finding a log on the side of the road， and using it to lift the car.When they finished， the mom pulled out a big jug of water， and they drank and washed their hands. 　　“I just thanked them and I tried to give her money，” Horner recalled.“ I only had a $20 bill， and I just thought， you know， it’s the least I could do.And she just wouldn’t take it.” But Horner was adamant （坚决的）， and eventually he put the money in her hand， and walked away. 　　Then he heard their small daughter call out， to ask Horner if he was hungry.Indeed he was， and she came over with a pancake from their cooler.They exchanged thank yous， she got into the van， and the family started to drive away. 　　“As they’re trying to get into traffic， I unwrapped the pancake and my money was in the pancake，” Horner said.Horner immediately ran over to the van to get the father’s attention. 　　“He rolls down his window.He sees me coming and he’s just shaking his head.And I keep saying like， ‘Por favor， por favor’ — I’m holding a bill out，” Horner remembered.“And with this big smile on his face， he just says， ‘Today you， tomorrow me.’” 　　The man then gave Horner a wave， rolled up the window， and drove off.The last thing Horner saw was the young girl waving goodbye through the window.He never saw them again. 1.What happened to Horner on his way in Portland？（　　） A.He got lost.　　 B.His food ran out.

B Heman Bekele， the 15-year-old from Annandale who was named the 2024 Time Kid of the Year， added another award to his list of achievements.The Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes named Bekele a winner， earning him an award of $10，000 to support his research. 　　Bekele developed a bar of soap that helps treat skin cancer.He started the research process at age 11， inspired by the lack of affordable health care and high levels of sun exposure that happens to workers in Ethiopia in Africa， where he was born and raised.Bekele remembers seeing people there working outside in the sun without protecting their skin and he learned about the dangers of cancer from his parents. 　　“When I came to America， I realized how serious the situation is，” Bekele recalls.“Right now there are no affordable and accessible alternatives to the really pricey treatment on the market.” 　　A few years ago， Bekele came across imiquimod， a drug known for treating certain skin cancers.He started thinking about how to make it more accessible for those in the early stages of the disease.He envisioned a bar of soap as a simple and affordable way to deliver this crucial medication， potentially reducing the high costs associated with skin cancer treatment.However， Bekele still needed to ensure that imiquimod would remain on the skin even after the soap was washed off.He solved this by mixing it with a lipid-based nanoparticle. 　　This isn’t the first time the teen earned national recognition for his invention.In 2023， he became America’s Top Young Scientist by 3M and Discovery Education.He was also Time’s 2024 Kid of the Year. 　　“A lot of people have this mindset that everything’s been done， there’s nothing left for me to do，” Bekele told TIME.“To anybody having that thought， I’d say we’ll never run out of ideas in this world.Just keep inventing.Keep thinking of new ways to improve our world and keep making it a better place.” 5.What made Heman Bekele start developing the cancer-fighting soap？（　　） A.The awards he had received.　　 B.The cruel reality he witnessed.
