Within this egg, Pangu, the primal giant, gestated for eighteen thousand years. Upon awakening, he wielded a mighty axe and split the chaos into two, causing the lighter and clearer elements to ascend and form the sky, while the heavier and darker elements descended to create the earth. Fearing that the heavens and earth might recombine, Pangu stood with his head touching the sky and his feet pressing against the earth. Every day, he grew taller by a zhang (an ancient Chinese unit of length), and the sky and earth expanded accordingly. This continued for another eighteen thousand years until the universe became stable. After Pangu's death, his body transformed into the myriad things of the world. His breath became the clouds and fog, his voice the thunder, his left eye the sun, his right eye the moon, his blood the rivers, his muscles the soil, his hair and beard the vegetation, his bones the rocks and minerals, and his teeth and bones the precious metals and gems. Thus, Pangu's creation of the universe through his separation of heaven and earth became a cornerstone of Chinese mythology, symbolizing the birth of the world and the beginning of all life. 盘古开天 在远古的混沌时代，宇宙就像一个巨大的鸡蛋，被原始的混沌所包围。在这个鸡蛋里，盘古这位原始巨人孕育了一万八千年。当他醒来时，他挥舞着一把巨大的斧头，将混沌一分为二，较轻和较清的部分上升形成了天空，而较重和较暗的部分下降形成了大地。 盘古担心天地会重新合并，于是他头顶着天，脚踏着地。他每天增高一丈，天地也随之每天增高一丈。这样又过了一万八千年，宇宙才变得稳定下来。 盘古死后，他的身体变成了世间的万物。他的呼吸变成了云雾，声音变成了雷霆，左眼变成了太阳，右眼变成了月亮，血液变成了江河，肌肉变成了土壤，胡须和头发变成了草木，骨骼变成了岩石和矿物，而牙齿和骨头则变成了贵金属和宝石。 因此，盘古通过开天辟地创造了宇宙，成为中国神话中的一个重要基石，象征着世界的诞生和所有生命的起源。 阅读感悟： "Pangu Separates Heaven and Earth" captivated me with the ancients' fantastic imagination of the universe's origin. Pangu's courage and creativity inspire me to face challenges head-on and forge ahead.《盘古开天》让我领略了古人对宇宙起源的奇妙想象，盘古的勇气与创造力激励我面对挑战，勇往直前。 生词短语 · chaos 混沌 The universe was like a vast egg, enveloped in a state of primal chaos. 宇宙就像一个巨大的鸡蛋，被原始的混沌所包围。 · primal 原始的 enveloped in a state of primal chaos 被原始的混沌所包围。 · gestate 孕育 Within this egg, Pangu, the primal giant, gestated for eighteen thousand years. 在这个鸡蛋里，盘古这位原始巨人孕育了一万八千年。 · axe 斧头 Upon awakening, he wielded a mighty axe and split the chaos into two. 当他醒来时，他挥舞着一把巨大的斧头，将混沌一分为二。 · wield 挥舞 wielded a mighty axe 挥舞着一把巨大的斧头。 · ascend 上升 causing the lighter and clearer elements to ascend and form the sky 使较轻和较清的部分上升形成了天空。 · descend 下降 while the heavier and darker elements descended to create the earth. 而较重和较暗的部分下降形成了大地。 · zhang （古长度单位，约等于现代的几尺） Every day, he grew taller by a zhang 他每天增高一丈。 · myriad 无数的，许许多多的 his body transformed into the myriad things of the world. 他的身体变成了世间的万物。 · primal giant 原始巨人 Pangu, the primal giant 盘古这位原始巨人。 · universe 宇宙 the universe was like a vast egg 宇宙就像一个巨大的鸡蛋。 · separate 分开 Pangu's creation of the universe through his separation of heaven and earth 盘古通过开天辟地创造了宇宙。 话题经典小故事 02——女娲造人 Nüwa Creates Humans In ancient Chinese mythology, there existed a goddess named Nüwa, who possessed immense power and a kind heart. One day, as she wandered across the vast and desolate earth, Nüwa felt a deep sense of loneliness, as there were no other living creatures like her to share the world. Determined to end her solitude, she decided to create beings to populate the earth. Gathering yellow clay from the ground, Nüwa began to shape it carefully with her deft hands, molding it into the form of humans. Each figure was unique, embodying the diverse forms that life could take. After completing a figure, she breathed her divine breath into it, giving it life. As she blew, the clay figures came to life, opening their eyes, moving their limbs, and starting to talk. Encouraged by the success of her first creations, Nüwa continued her work tirelessly. She made men and women of different shapes and sizes, filling the world with laughter and vitality. These newly created humans soon began to build their own homes, form families, and create civilizations, turning the once desolate earth into a bustling place full of life and activity. However, as the number of humans grew, Nüwa realized that she needed a faster method to create them. So, she took a willow branch, dipped it in the clay, and flicked it off, creating numerous clay babies in a much shorter time. These babies, too, came to life and grew up to become part of the thriving human population. Nüwa watched over her creations with a warm heart, teaching them how to live in harmony with each other and the natural world. She became their guardian goddess, and her creation gave humans endless hope and happiness. Thus, the story of Nüwa creating humans has been passed down through generations, celebrating the unique charm of Chinese mythology and the boundless creativity of the human imagination. 女娲造人 在中国古代神话中，有一位名叫女娲的女神，她拥有无穷的力量和一颗善良的心。有一天，当她漫步在广阔而荒凉的大地上时，她感到深深的孤独，因为周围没有其他像她一样的生物与她共享这个世界。为了结束这种孤独，她决定创造生物来充实大地。 女娲从地上挖起黄土，用她灵巧的双手仔细塑造，将其塑造成人类的形状。每个形象都是独一无二的，体现了生命可以呈现出的各种形态。在完成一个形象后，她吹入自己的神息，赋予其生命。随着她的吹气，泥塑的人像活了过来，睁开眼睛，移动四肢，开始说话。 受到第一批创作成功的鼓舞，女娲不辞辛劳地继续她的工作。她塑造了不同形状和大小的男人和女人，使世界充满了欢笑和活力。这些新创造的人类很快开始建造自己的家园，形成家庭，并创造文明，将曾经荒凉的大地变成了一个繁忙而充满生机的地方。 然而，随着人类数量的增加，女娲意识到她需要一种更快的方法来创造他们。于是，她拿起一根柳条，蘸上泥土，然后挥动柳条，在短时间内创造了无数的泥娃娃。这些娃娃也活了过来，长大后成为繁荣的人类社会的一部分。 女娲以温暖的心守护着她的创造物，教导他们如何彼此和谐相处，并与自然世界保持和谐。她成为了他们的守护女神，她的创造给了人类无尽的希望和幸福。因此，女娲造人的故事代代相传，歌颂了中国神话的独特魅力和人类想象力的无限可能。 阅读感悟： The story of Nüwa creating humans deeply imparts the greatness and creativity of motherly love. She not only bestowed life upon humanity but also taught us the principle of harmonious coexistence, filling me with awe and gratitude for life.女娲造人的故事让我深刻体会到母爱的伟大与创造力。她不仅赋予了人类生命，更教会我们和谐共生的道理，让我对生命充满了敬畏与感激。 生词短语 · mythology 神话学 In ancient Chinese mythology... 在中国古代神话中... · immense 巨大的 ...who possessed immense power... ...她拥有巨大的力量... · desolate 荒凉的 ...as she wandered across the vast and desolate earth... ...当她漫步在广阔而荒凉的大地上时... · deft 灵巧的 Gathering yellow clay from the ground, Nüwa began to shape it carefully with her deft hands... 女娲从地上挖起黄土，用她灵巧的双手仔细塑造... · divine 神的，神圣的 ...after completing a figure, she breathed her divine breath into it, giving it life. ...在完成一个形象后，她吹入自己的神息，赋予其生命。 · bustling 繁忙的 ...turning the once desolate earth into a bustling place full of life and activity. ...将曾经荒凉的大地变成了一个繁忙而充满生机的地方。 · flick 轻弹 ...she took a willow branch, dipped it in the clay, and flicked it off, creating numerous clay babies in a much shorter time. ...她拿起一根柳条，蘸上泥土，然后挥动柳条轻弹，在短时间内创造了无数的泥娃娃。 · guardian 守护神 She became their guardian goddess... 她成为了他们的守护女神... · bestow 授予，赐予 She not only bestowed life upon humanity... 她不仅赐予了人类生命... · harmony 和谐 ...but also taught us the principle of harmonious coexistence... ...而且还教会了我们和谐共生的原则... 时文阅读 01—《时空画师》 Chinese writer Hai Ya’s The Space-Time Painter (《时空画师》) has won the Hugo Award (雨果奖) for Best Novelette.

In it, science fiction offered the most beautiful “flowers”. Science fiction opened a new world for him. Hai Ya’s works feature (以……为特色) a mix of history and science fiction. They seem really opposite: One looks back at the past, and the other faces the future. However, in Hai Ya’s works, they find a perfect balance. “If we can only imagine the future and things in space like rockets, it will control our imagination,” Hai Ya said. “________ It is running, and we can make predictions about the future by looking back at history. History is also part of our future.” 1．How many Chinese writers have won the Hugo Award before Hai Ya? A．None. B．One. C．Two.

The result is “Science fiction”. Science-based books and movies often take place in the future.Writers imagine what life will be many years from now. In science fiction, there is life on other 2 , compete with aliens and monsters. People travel in spaceships, and there is lots of advanced technology around. Science fiction has many types of plots (情节), characters, and settings. Some of the first science fiction stories were about 3 aliens who try to take over the Earth and bring down the human race. Others were about people travelling in spaceships looking for 4 planets or keeping peace in the universe. The “science” was not very believable. Usually, the technology in science fiction movies and books are ahead of its time. But sometimes, this technology is just too good to stay within the pages of a book. For example, robots appeared in science fiction before they existed in 5 life. The 1960s Star Trek TV shows and later movies are full of more examples. The giant view screen aboard the starship Enterprise looks very much like the flat TV screens of today. The crew used ạ small device to talk to each other on the ship. It even worked from the ship to Earth. This hand-held device was very much like the future mobile phone. The small touch-screen the captain and crew 6 around was similar to a 21st century tablet or iPad.

In the evening, I went to the landing place. “Dear Father,” I said politely. “Have you found Belinda’s parents yet?” “Not yet, my dear.” He shook his head. I felt relaxed. I didn’t want to meet Belinda’s parents—they might be ten times as loud and bossy as she was. But Belinda had followed me. “Not yet?” she shouted. “Why not? I’ll send them a message! They’ll listen to me!” Belinda ran to the radio. She shouted into it so loudly that I had to cover all my four ears. “Mummy! Daddy! I’m on an awful spaceship full of purple people! Come and find me now!” “Poor Belinda!” my sister came and said. “Her parents must be missing her.” “Huh!” I snorted (发出哼声). “Missing her? You’re joking! Who would want such a bossy kid back? They probably lost her on purpose.” Belinda’s face clouded. I thought she was going to shout again, but she didn’t. Instead, something very strange happened — her eyes began to water! “Oh, help!” said Roa. “Is she dying?” I felt terrible. “Don’t die, Belinda! I didn’t mean it.” Then Belinda opened her mouth wide and shouted, “What if it’s true? What if they’ve gone away and left me here forever?” We were all so busy comforting Belinda that we didn’t notice the soft knock of a ship landing outside. We didn’t see two tall people come out of it until Belinda ran out in excitement. “Mummy! Daddy!” Belinda’s parents were even uglier than she was, but they looked polite. “Hello, dear,” the female said. “We’re sorry we kept you waiting.” We smiled as the three of them boarded their spaceship. “Goodbye!” shouted Belinda. “Goodbye! Thanks for taking care of our baby girl!” said her father. None of us answered. We waved (挥手) cheerfully as the ship took off and went far away into the stars. 11．What most probably happened before this passage? A．“I” just met Belinda’s parents. B．Belinda’s parents left Belinda alone on purpose. C．Belinda got separated from her parents for some reason.

C．A travel diary. D．A detective story. 【答案】11．C 12．C 13．B 14．A 【导语】本文讲述了作者的父亲忙了一下午修理Belinda的飞船，晚上作者去着陆点时她还在寻找父母。最后，她的父母终于出现并带走了她。 11．推理判断题。根据“Mummy! Daddy! I’m on an awful spaceship full of purple people! Come and find me now!”和“We’re sorry we kept you waiting.”可推知，Belinda因为某种原因和她的父母分开了。故选C。 12．推理判断题。根据“I didn’t want to meet Belinda’s parents—they might be ten times as loud and bossy as she was.”可知，作者认为Belinda的父母比她大声十倍，专横十倍；即在作者眼里Belinda吵闹的，且没礼貌。故选C。 13．细节理解题。根据“We smiled as the three of them boarded their spaceship.”和“We waved (挥手) cheerfully as the ship took off and went far away into the stars.”可知，作者和Roa看到Belinda离开时很高兴。故选B。 14．推理判断题。根据“all my four ears”，“an awful spaceship full of purple people!”和“spaceship”可知，作者有四只耳朵，肤色是紫色，以及Belinda坐飞船出行，由此判断本文是一篇科幻小说。故选A。 Passage D (Ned, Conceil and I were taken to the ship. Captain Nemo showed us around. He led us into a room as a museum with a great collection and then took us to the library and the galley(画廊).) ①Captain Nemo was very proud of his collection and the ship—the Nautilus. Then, he took me to my cabin(房舱). It was a very comfortable bedroom and was next to his cabin. His cabin had an instrument panel(仪表板), and on this he could see everything that he needed to know to sail the Nautilus. ②He told me that he had found a way to make electricity using salt and mercury(汞). This electricity gave the Nautilus all the power it needed to move through the water. Huge pumps(泵)filled and emptied tanks of air and water to make the Nautilus sink or rise. I was surprised to find that the Nautilus even had a small dinghy(小艇). Captain Nemo could enter the dinghy from the Nautilus while it was underwater and go to the surface. Then, the Nautilus would come up to collect him. As we walked to the engine room(发动机舱), we passed the large kitchen and crew(船员)room. The door of the crew room was closed, so I could not see how many men were asked to work on the Nautilus. ③Captain Nemo showed me the engine and explained how it worked. It was difficult to understand how the tanks, rudders and batteries worked. However, I had to believe it because the engine was working! The Nautilus was seventy meters long and eight meters wide. It had a cylindrical(圆柱形的)shape with points on each end and weighed 1,500 tons. A pilot sat in a small room with strong windows, and a powerful electric light showed him where he was going. ④“It’s a wonderful ship!” I exclaimed. ⑤“I love it as if it were my child.” he replied. ⑥“How did you build it in secret?” I asked. “All the parts were made in different countries. I used different names each time I placed an order. I took all the parts to a desert island, and my workmen put them together. Then, we burned our workshops.” ⑦“It must have cost a great deal of money!” I exclaimed again. ⑧“Millions of dollars,” he replied. “However, I have billions.” —Taken from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea 15．What can we learn about the Nautilus? A．It had a lot of rooms with many treasures in them. B．It was too large for Captain Nemo to know how to sail. C．Everyone knew that Captain Nemo built it on a desert island.

Within this egg, Pangu, the primal giant, gestated for eighteen thousand years. Upon awakening, he wielded a mighty axe and split the chaos into two, causing the lighter and clearer elements to ascend and form the sky, while the heavier and darker elements descended to create the earth. Fearing that the heavens and earth might recombine, Pangu stood with his head touching the sky and his feet pressing against the earth. Every day, he grew taller by a zhang (an ancient Chinese unit of length), and the sky and earth expanded accordingly. This continued for another eighteen thousand years until the universe became stable. After Pangu's death, his body transformed into the myriad things of the world. His breath became the clouds and fog, his voice the thunder, his left eye the sun, his right eye the moon, his blood the rivers, his muscles the soil, his hair and beard the vegetation, his bones the rocks and minerals, and his teeth and bones the precious metals and gems. Thus, Pangu's creation of the universe through his separation of heaven and earth became a cornerstone of Chinese mythology, symbolizing the birth of the world and the beginning of all life. 盘古开天 在远古的混沌时代，宇宙就像一个巨大的鸡蛋，被原始的混沌所包围。在这个鸡蛋里，盘古这位原始巨人孕育了一万八千年。当他醒来时，他挥舞着一把巨大的斧头，将混沌一分为二，较轻和较清的部分上升形成了天空，而较重和较暗的部分下降形成了大地。 盘古担心天地会重新合并，于是他头顶着天，脚踏着地。他每天增高一丈，天地也随之每天增高一丈。这样又过了一万八千年，宇宙才变得稳定下来。 盘古死后，他的身体变成了世间的万物。他的呼吸变成了云雾，声音变成了雷霆，左眼变成了太阳，右眼变成了月亮，血液变成了江河，肌肉变成了土壤，胡须和头发变成了草木，骨骼变成了岩石和矿物，而牙齿和骨头则变成了贵金属和宝石。 因此，盘古通过开天辟地创造了宇宙，成为中国神话中的一个重要基石，象征着世界的诞生和所有生命的起源。 阅读感悟： "Pangu Separates Heaven and Earth" captivated me with the ancients' fantastic imagination of the universe's origin.

One day, as she wandered across the vast and desolate earth, Nüwa felt a deep sense of loneliness, as there were no other living creatures like her to share the world. Determined to end her solitude, she decided to create beings to populate the earth. Gathering yellow clay from the ground, Nüwa began to shape it carefully with her deft hands, molding it into the form of humans. Each figure was unique, embodying the diverse forms that life could take. After completing a figure, she breathed her divine breath into it, giving it life. As she blew, the clay figures came to life, opening their eyes, moving their limbs, and starting to talk. Encouraged by the success of her first creations, Nüwa continued her work tirelessly. She made men and women of different shapes and sizes, filling the world with laughter and vitality. These newly created humans soon began to build their own homes, form families, and create civilizations, turning the once desolate earth into a bustling place full of life and activity. However, as the number of humans grew, Nüwa realized that she needed a faster method to create them. So, she took a willow branch, dipped it in the clay, and flicked it off, creating numerous clay babies in a much shorter time. These babies, too, came to life and grew up to become part of the thriving human population. Nüwa watched over her creations with a warm heart, teaching them how to live in harmony with each other and the natural world. She became their guardian goddess, and her creation gave humans endless hope and happiness. Thus, the story of Nüwa creating humans has been passed down through generations, celebrating the unique charm of Chinese mythology and the boundless creativity of the human imagination. 女娲造人 在中国古代神话中，有一位名叫女娲的女神，她拥有无穷的力量和一颗善良的心。有一天，当她漫步在广阔而荒凉的大地上时，她感到深深的孤独，因为周围没有其他像她一样的生物与她共享这个世界。为了结束这种孤独，她决定创造生物来充实大地。 女娲从地上挖起黄土，用她灵巧的双手仔细塑造，将其塑造成人类的形状。每个形象都是独一无二的，体现了生命可以呈现出的各种形态。在完成一个形象后，她吹入自己的神息，赋予其生命。随着她的吹气，泥塑的人像活了过来，睁开眼睛，移动四肢，开始说话。 受到第一批创作成功的鼓舞，女娲不辞辛劳地继续她的工作。她塑造了不同形状和大小的男人和女人，使世界充满了欢笑和活力。这些新创造的人类很快开始建造自己的家园，形成家庭，并创造文明，将曾经荒凉的大地变成了一个繁忙而充满生机的地方。 然而，随着人类数量的增加，女娲意识到她需要一种更快的方法来创造他们。于是，她拿起一根柳条，蘸上泥土，然后挥动柳条，在短时间内创造了无数的泥娃娃。这些娃娃也活了过来，长大后成为繁荣的人类社会的一部分。 女娲以温暖的心守护着她的创造物，教导他们如何彼此和谐相处，并与自然世界保持和谐。她成为了他们的守护女神，她的创造给了人类无尽的希望和幸福。因此，女娲造人的故事代代相传，歌颂了中国神话的独特魅力和人类想象力的无限可能。 阅读感悟： The story of Nüwa creating humans deeply imparts the greatness and creativity of motherly love. She not only bestowed life upon humanity but also taught us the principle of harmonious coexistence, filling me with awe and gratitude for life.女娲造人的故事让我深刻体会到母爱的伟大与创造力。她不仅赋予了人类生命，更教会我们和谐共生的道理，让我对生命充满了敬畏与感激。 生词短语 · mythology 神话学 In ancient Chinese mythology... 在中国古代神话中... · immense 巨大的 ...who possessed immense power... ...她拥有巨大的力量... · desolate 荒凉的 ...as she wandered across the vast and desolate earth... ...当她漫步在广阔而荒凉的大地上时... · deft 灵巧的 Gathering yellow clay from the ground, Nüwa began to shape it carefully with her deft hands... 女娲从地上挖起黄土，用她灵巧的双手仔细塑造... · divine 神的，神圣的 ...after completing a figure, she breathed her divine breath into it, giving it life. ...在完成一个形象后，她吹入自己的神息，赋予其生命。 · bustling 繁忙的 ...turning the once desolate earth into a bustling place full of life and activity. ...将曾经荒凉的大地变成了一个繁忙而充满生机的地方。 · flick 轻弹 ...she took a willow branch, dipped it in the clay, and flicked it off, creating numerous clay babies in a much shorter time. ...她拿起一根柳条，蘸上泥土，然后挥动柳条轻弹，在短时间内创造了无数的泥娃娃。 · guardian 守护神 She became their guardian goddess... 她成为了他们的守护女神... · bestow 授予，赐予 She not only bestowed life upon humanity... 她不仅赐予了人类生命... · harmony 和谐 ...but also taught us the principle of harmonious coexistence... ...而且还教会了我们和谐共生的原则... 时文阅读 01—《时空画师》 Chinese writer Hai Ya’s The Space-Time Painter (《时空画师》) has won the Hugo Award (雨果奖) for Best Novelette.

The result is “Science fiction”. Science-based books and movies often take place in the future.Writers imagine what life will be many years from now. In science fiction, there is life on other 2 , compete with aliens and monsters. People travel in spaceships, and there is lots of advanced technology around. Science fiction has many types of plots (情节), characters, and settings. Some of the first science fiction stories were about 3 aliens who try to take over the Earth and bring down the human race. Others were about people travelling in spaceships looking for 4 planets or keeping peace in the universe. The “science” was not very believable. Usually, the technology in science fiction movies and books are ahead of its time. But sometimes, this technology is just too good to stay within the pages of a book. For example, robots appeared in science fiction before they existed in 5 life. The 1960s Star Trek TV shows and later movies are full of more examples. The giant view screen aboard the starship Enterprise looks very much like the flat TV screens of today. The crew used ạ small device to talk to each other on the ship. It even worked from the ship to Earth. This hand-held device was very much like the future mobile phone. The small touch-screen the captain and crew 6 around was similar to a 21st century tablet or iPad. Today, science fiction is closer to scientific reality than ever before. 1．A．things B．facts C．events D．thoughts 2．A．planets B．places C．parts D．paths 3．A．tiring B．boring C．worrying D．frightening 4．A．unusual B．uncertain C．unexplored D．unlucky 5．A．easy B．right C．modern D．real 6．A．looked B．showed C．designed D．carried Passage B Have you heard of the World Science Fiction Convention (WorldCon)?

In the evening, I went to the landing place. “Dear Father,” I said politely. “Have you found Belinda’s parents yet?” “Not yet, my dear.” He shook his head. I felt relaxed. I didn’t want to meet Belinda’s parents—they might be ten times as loud and bossy as she was. But Belinda had followed me. “Not yet?” she shouted. “Why not? I’ll send them a message! They’ll listen to me!” Belinda ran to the radio. She shouted into it so loudly that I had to cover all my four ears. “Mummy! Daddy! I’m on an awful spaceship full of purple people! Come and find me now!” “Poor Belinda!” my sister came and said. “Her parents must be missing her.” “Huh!” I snorted (发出哼声). “Missing her? You’re joking! Who would want such a bossy kid back? They probably lost her on purpose.” Belinda’s face clouded. I thought she was going to shout again, but she didn’t. Instead, something very strange happened — her eyes began to water! “Oh, help!” said Roa. “Is she dying?” I felt terrible. “Don’t die, Belinda! I didn’t mean it.” Then Belinda opened her mouth wide and shouted, “What if it’s true? What if they’ve gone away and left me here forever?” We were all so busy comforting Belinda that we didn’t notice the soft knock of a ship landing outside.

Daddy!” Belinda’s parents were even uglier than she was, but they looked polite. “Hello, dear,” the female said. “We’re sorry we kept you waiting.” We smiled as the three of them boarded their spaceship. “Goodbye!” shouted Belinda. “Goodbye!

He led us into a room as a museum with a great collection and then took us to the library and the galley(画廊).) ①Captain Nemo was very proud of his collection and the ship—the Nautilus. Then, he took me to my cabin(房舱). It was a very comfortable bedroom and was next to his cabin. His cabin had an instrument panel(仪表板), and on this he could see everything that he needed to know to sail the Nautilus. ②He told me that he had found a way to make electricity using salt and mercury(汞). This electricity gave the Nautilus all the power it needed to move through the water. Huge pumps(泵)filled and emptied tanks of air and water to make the Nautilus sink or rise. I was surprised to find that the Nautilus even had a small dinghy(小艇). Captain Nemo could enter the dinghy from the Nautilus while it was underwater and go to the surface. Then, the Nautilus would come up to collect him. As we walked to the engine room(发动机舱), we passed the large kitchen and crew(船员)room. The door of the crew room was closed, so I could not see how many men were asked to work on the Nautilus. ③Captain Nemo showed me the engine and explained how it worked. It was difficult to understand how the tanks, rudders and batteries worked. However, I had to believe it because the engine was working! The Nautilus was seventy meters long and eight meters wide. It had a cylindrical(圆柱形的)shape with points on each end and weighed 1,500 tons. A pilot sat in a small room with strong windows, and a powerful electric light showed him where he was going. ④“It’s a wonderful ship!” I exclaimed. ⑤“I love it as if it were my child.” he replied. ⑥“How did you build it in secret?” I asked. “All the parts were made in different countries. I used different names each time I placed an order. I took all the parts to a desert island, and my workmen put them together. Then, we burned our workshops.” ⑦“It must have cost a great deal of money!” I exclaimed again. ⑧“Millions of dollars,” he replied. “However, I have billions.” —Taken from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea 15．What can we learn about the Nautilus? A．It had a lot of rooms with many treasures in them. B．It was too large for Captain Nemo to know how to sail. C．Everyone knew that Captain Nemo built it on a desert island.
