《2025年高考模拟试题汇编高中英语》

B
Heman Bekele, a 14-year-old student from Annandale, Virginia, has created a bar of soap(肥皂) to treat melanoma, the most common kind of skin cancer, which earned him the title of America's Top Young Scientist and a $ 25 000 cash prize after his innovation won first place in the 3M Young Scientist Challenge.
“I made this soap by mixing regular medicinal soap with different cancer-fighting chemicals,” Bekele said in an interview. Rather than a cure, Bekele's soap aims to help the patients' immune cells stay active while fighting melanoma.
While similar methods are available for skin cancer treatments, his solution is a more affordable alternative, especially for those in developing countries. Though the product is very promising on paper, studies would have to be carried out to test its efficiency in the real world.
For now, the young scientist said he has a five-year plan: At the end of it, he hopes to have created a nonprofit organization where he can provide fair and accessible skin cancer treatment to as many people as possible. But to accomplish his goal, he would have to get his treatment through clinical trials, obtain a temporary patent and have it licensed by the Food and Drug Administration, he said.
“I applied for the 3M Young Scientist Challenge because I believe that young minds can make a positive impact on the world,” Bekele said. “I have always been interested in biology and technology, and this challenge gave me a perfect platform to showcase my ideas. The opportunity to work with 3M mentors and show my project to judges was an exciting prospect. I am passionate about finding sustainable solutions to global problems, and I hope to inspire others to do the same.”

A. To deal with a kind of skin cancer.
