Heman Bekele is not your typical high
school student.Rather than spending his free
time playing video games or staring at his
phone,this 14 year-old from Fairfax,Virginia
was calling professors and conducting experi-
ments,all to create a soap that could treat skin
cancer,and to make it affordable for everyone
who needs it.His work won him the grand prize
in this year's 3M Young Scientist's Challenge,
a competition that encourages kids to think of
unique ways to solve everyday problems.
Growing up in Ethiopia,Bekele found in
pity that people working outside were likely to
end up getting skin cancer.Skin cancer did have
cures and was treatable in most cases.Howev-
er,the average price of skin cancer treatment
globally was almost $40,000.Those shocking
statistics really inspired him to create a more
accessible solution.He started doing experi-
ments and working on different things,and that
turned into his bar of soap as a project.
A lot of his research and development star-
ted in his family's kitchen and in his basement.
But as he reached the final of the competition,
he realized that he did need to do a little bit
more outside of just his house.So he reached
out to people at University of Virginia and peo-
ple at Georgetown,and he got a lot of assis-
tance.The number one person would be Debo-
rah Isabelle,who helped him organize and
structure his ideas during the finalist competi-
tion.Bekele said that he definitely couldn't have
done that all by himself.
Bekele's award-winning soap is a compound
based bar of soap and it's charged with different
cancer fighting chemicals.The color of the soap
is a bit of a dark type of white and it has a
rough surface,which could be a good exfoliant
(去角质剂).It does have a strong medicine
smell and feel a bit stickier.The whole point of
it is that even once you wash off the soaps,the
medicinal parts will stay on your skin.It can ac-
tivate the body's immune cells to defend cancer.

Phineas T.Barnum is the best-known cir-
cus business owner of the nineteenth century.
------4.He excelled as a showman,and throughout his
career in the entertainment business,he promo-
5
-ted many different forms of attractions.
Barnum's first industry was as a newspaper
owner.He also worked as a writer and publish-
er.His enduring fame,however,is as a show-
man.Barnum considered this to be his main tal-
ent and he never changed this view of his char-
acter.
T.Barnum's entertainment interests cov-
ered museums,traveling dance troupes(团),
and even the mid-century US tour by Jenny
Lind,the Swedish singer.He was,by nature,
a risk-taker,and usually gained success from
the most unlikely enterprises.
Barnum was willing to adopt any tactic that
publicized his businesses.His American Muse-
um in New York included hoaxes and freaks
作剧和怪物),both human and animal..This
was not unusual by the standards of the time,
but even he felt the need to prove his hoaxes
fair,as advertising tricks.
·39
Barnum's unbounded self-confidence meant
he never doubted his ability to make a success
of any business.He opened America's first a-
quarium(水馆)and opened a theater in New
York that was the largest and most modern in
the city.He aimed to change the public knowl-
edge of theaters,and in this,he largely succee
ded.He made theater-going respectable.
Determination and hard work featured ma-
jorly in the qualities that Barnum displayed,
and he frequently spoke about the necessity of
both.He believed success only came to those
who worked for it and knew they had the self-
determination necessary.He also stated the ne-
cessity of understanding the business that a per-
son was running.Knowledge and experience
counted for much in Barnum's life,and he cer-
tainly knew the entertainment business.
Success in life,according to Barnum,could
only be achieved when a person is in good
health.He advised that getting healthy and
maintaining a healthy body and mind would lead
to happiness as well as success.
8.What did Barnum think was his most success-
ful career?
A.A writer.
B.A publisher.
C.A showman.
D.A newspaper owner.
g.What does the underlined word“tactic'”in
paragraph 4 mean?
A.Media.
B.Strategy.
C.Support.
D.Opportunity.
10.Why does the author mention Barnum's suc-
cess in opening the aquarium and theater?
A.To show Barnum's firm beliefs in his own
capacity.
B.To tell us chances are important for any
business.
C.To explain what kind of business was
successful.
D.To indicate how bad people's life was at
that time.
11.Which of the following can best describe
Barnum and his business?
A.Eventful.
B.Adventurous.
C.Unsteady.
D.Outstanding.

Like most people,you have probably lost
count of the number of perfect-looking shoes
you have thrown away simply because the rub-
ber soles(橡胶鞋底)are broken.In addition to
the expense,it is also harmful to our environ-
ment.Now,thanks to a revolutionary self-
healing 3-D printed rubber material,broken
shoe soles may be a thing of the past.
The magical polymer(聚合物)is devel--
oped by the researchers at the University of South-
ern California's (USC)and the University of Con-
necticut (UConn).The team,led by USC Assis-
tant Professor Qiming Wang,created it through
a process called photopolymerization,which
uses light to solidify the liquid used to create
3-D printed plastic.The researchers found that
adding the right amount of oxidant(氧化剂)to the
liquid allowed the 3-D polymer to heal with-
out slowing down the hardening process.
"When we gradually increase the oxidant,
the self-healing behavior becomes stronger,but
the photopolymerization behavior becomes wea-
ker,”explained Wang.“There is competition
between these two behaviors.
The team,who published the findings in
the journal NPG Asia Materials on February
1st,2019,state that the repair time can be re-
duced by increasing the room temperature."If
you just put a broken shoe on a bench at room
temperature,the rubber will heal itself in six to
eight hours,.”Wang said.“If you apply heat at
maybe6o℃,that expedites the healing process
to about two hours.”
Given the material's huge potential,it is
not surprising to hear that Wang and his team
have been approached by several shoe-making
companies eager to be the first to use the tech-
nology,which is still in the early stages.Once
perfected,the scientists also hope to apply the
technique to hard plastics that can be used to
create self-healing toys,electronics,vehicle
parts,and,if Wang has his way,even tires.
12.How do the researchers make 3-D printed
plastic self-heal?
A.By changing the amount of light used.
B.By raising the temperature at which it is used.
C.By increasing the hardening speed of the
liquid.
D.By adding the proper amount of oxidant
to the liquid.
13.What can be inferred from the text?
A.The creation of 3-D printed plastic
doesn't need light.
B.The surrounding temperature determines
the speed of healing.
C.Many shoe making companies got the
right to use the technology.
D.Throwing away broken shoe soles has
been a thing of the past.
l4.What does the underlined word“expedites'”
mean?
A.Strengthens.
B.Delays.
C.Accelerates.
D.Worsens.
15.Which of the following can be the best title
of the text?
A.Self-healing shoes may be in our future.
B.3-D printing technology makes a differ-
ence.

(2024·辽宁鞍山市高三质检)Creativity is
all about finding new ways of solving problems.
If you've ever wanted to increase your creativi-
ty,these tips can help.
Devote yourself to creativity
The first step to increase creativity is to
devote yourself to developing your creative abil-
ities.Do not put off your efforts.
1.For
example,if you are interested in painting,
schedule time regularly to learn and practice
your skills.
Become an expert
2.By having a rich understanding of
the topic,you will be better able to think of in-
novative solutions to problems.
Explore multiple solutions
The next time you meet a problem,try
looking for a variety of solutions.Instead of
simply going with the first idea you have,take
the time to think of other possible ways to solve
the problem.3.
Take risks
When it comes to building your creative
skills,you must be willing to take risks to im-
prove your abilities.4,you will still be im-
proving your creative talents and building skills
that will serve you well in the future.For ex-
ample,sharing your work in a creative writing
course might feel frightening,but the com-
ments you receive from classmates and teachers
can be valuable.
5
Never expect creativity to just happen.
Look for new sources of inspiration that will
give you fresh ideas and motivate you to get u-
nique answers to questions.Read a book,visit
a museum,listen to your favorite music or en-
gage in a lively debate with a friend.
A.Look for inspiration
B.Brainstorm new ideas
C.Find time each day to develop your skills
D.Although your efforts may not lead to suc-
cess every time
E.Since one way to solve problems is by learn-
ing from creative people
F.One of the best ways to develop creativity is
to become an expert in this area

problem-solving and creative thinking skillshim,so he made up his mind to give Mom
a special gift for her birthday.Hearing the
heartfelt words,mom was moved.She
embraced him tightly,expressing her love
and gratitude.
As Evan handed his mom the bou-
quet,they were surprised to discover an
envelope with several hundred-dollar bills
inside.Worried that Mrs.Carter had
made a mistake,Evan suggested returning
the money.They went to the flower shop
immediately and handed the envelope back
to Mrs.Carter,Smiling warmly,Mrs.
Carter explained that it wasn't a mistake
but a birthday gift for Evan's mother.She
insisted they keep it,saying it was Evan's
affection for his mom that touched her and
that she decided to lend a hand.Moved by
Mrs.Carter's kindness,mom invited her
for dinner that night and they celebrated
