Last Friday, Britain’s Prince William announced the winners of this year’s Earthshot Prize. The prize is meant to encourage new ideas and rapid action to help protect the planet. Below are parts of this year’s prize-winning projects in each category.

Protect and Restore Nature

Kheyti won the prize for protecting and restoring nature with its “Greenhouse-in-a-box” idea. Kheyti is already working with 1, 000 farmers across India, which is one of the most climate-affected countries in the world. The company says the greenhouses allow farmers to use 90% less water and produce seven times as much food. Kheyti hopes to get its greenhouses to 50,000 farmers by 2027.

Clean Our Air

Charlot Magayi won the prize for cleaning the air. Ms. Magayi developed a stove (炉子) that uses a fuel that’s cheaper and pollutes far less than charcoal stoves. Currently, over 200,000 of her Clean Stoves are being used in Kenya.

Build a Waste-Free World

A London-based company called Notpla(for “Not Plastic”)won the prize for building a waste-free world.

They’ve created a plastic substitute(替代品)from plants found in the ocean. Unlike most plastic, their products break down naturally with no microplastics. Notpla believes their products can help end the plastic pollution that’s filling landfills and polluting oceans.

Fix Our Climate

The Earthshot Prize for working toward fixing our climate went to a company called 44.01 from Oman. 44.01 has come up with a way to turn polluting carbon dioxide(CO2)into a rock called peridotite. Once the CO2 has been turned into rock, it can no longer be released into the atmosphere again. The method that 44.01 uses is fast, cheap and permanent.

1. What is the aim of the Earthshot Prize?

A. To offer practical advice on global warming.

B. To find solutions to the environmental problems.

C. To develop a strategic partnership with all parties.

D. To encourage literary creations of the British people.

2. Where are Kheyti’s greenhouses widely used?

A. In India. B. In Kenya. C. In the UK. D. In Oman.

3. What do Charlot Magayi and 44.01 have in common?

A. They want to build a waste-free world.

B. Their projects are directly good for farmers.

C. Their achievements benefit the air cleaning.

D. They use plants from the ocean in their products.

B

More than 20 years ago, Yung-Chi Cheng, a Yale professor in drug development for cancer, had a pioneering idea: what if he could unlock the potential of ancient Chinese medicines for treating cancer? What if he could design botanical drugs that would make traditional cancer treatments work better? No one had done it before. Fellow researchers and experts advised him to change course, because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too risky. But Cheng didn’t let the idea go.

Now, in a landmark moment in cancer research, Cheng and research partners are launching the first international clinical trial for a botanical drug, YIV-906. Shwu-Hucy Liu, a postdoctoral researcher in Cheng’s Yale lab, spent hours leafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale’s library seeking the properties of Chinese herbs. She returned with Huang Qin Tang, a 1,800-year-old treatment for stomach illnesses, based on which the

team developed a drug and tested it on one thousand mice.

What followed were years of additional testing of the drug’s effectiveness for a range of cancers in multiple human studies involving over 200 patients. The positive effects displayed again and again, YIV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment, but also led to faster recovery and longer survival rates.

All they need now are larger data sets. When the results of the international trial are available about three years from now, YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs developed from natural products, which includes a malaria (疟疾) treatment developed from the Chinese herb qinghao, the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou.

It has been a long journey, but if Cheng and his team are successful, it could create a new approach to treating cancer. They called the new approach “WE” medicine, a combination of Western medicine and Eastern medicine. “It’s a totally new model. I’ve met with a lot of doubt, but think the results will speak for themselves,” Cheng said.

4. What did fellow researchers initially think of Cheng’s research?

A. Creative. B. Comprehensive. C. Conventional. D. Challenging.

5. Why did Liu refer to ancient Chinese texts?

A. She wanted to question ancient treatment methods.

B. She desired to find inspiration for treating diseases.

C. She tried to document the history of Chinese herbs.

D. She determined to find a cure for stomach illnesses.

6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. Steps of the drug testing. B. The application of YIV-906.

C. Effects of the clinical trial. D. The effectiveness of YIV-906.

7. Why does the author mention Chinese herb qinghao?

A. To illustrate the value of botanical drugs.

B. To advocate the adoption of “WE” medicine.

C. To praise Tu’s contributions to drug development.

D. To highlight its success in medicine development.
