三、阅读理解（每题2分，共10分）       

    Huang Xuhua, a great Chinese scientist, passed away on February 6th, 2025. But his great deeds and strong spirit will always stay in our hearts and keep lighting up China’s way forward.

Huang Xuhua was born in Guangdong Province in 1926. When he was young, he saw the hard times of his country under foreign attacks (侵略). These sad memories made him study hard. He made a promise to make the country strong with his knowledge.

In the 1950s, when China started to develop nuclear submarines (核潜艇), it was a very difficult job. Huang Xuhua was not afraid and stood up bravely. At that time, there was not much advanced technology or many resources. It was like climbing a very steep mountain. But he and his team took on this challenge. To keep the project secret, they stopped contacting (联系) the outside world, even their families. Huang Xuhua left his hometown for many years.

During the design process, they met a lot of problems. For example, designing a nuclear reactor (核反应堆) was really hard. They couldn’t get help from foreign experts, so they could only depend on their own research. They used simple tools like abacuses and slide rules (算盘和滑尺) to calculate and do experiments with great effort. Another important problem was to make sure the submarine was stable underwater. After many simulations and tests, they gradually overcame these problems.

Finally, in the 1970s, China’s first nuclear submarine was built and tested successfully. This made China one of the few countries that had this ability. Huang Xuhua didn’t stop after this big success. He went on to help with the development of submarine technology. His hard work and devotion won him many honors, including the “Medal of the Republic” (“共和国勋章”) in 2019.

Now, when we think of him, we know that his life can inspire us a lot. We, especially the young people, should learn from his spirit. Let’s take on the responsibility, face challenges bravely, and work hard to make China stronger. In this way, his spirit will live on forever.

22. The underlined word in paragraph3 “steep” means ______.

    A. 急剧的    B. 陡峭的   C. 平直的   D. 蜿蜒的

23. What can we infer (推断) about Huang Xuhua’s team during the project?

A. They depended heavily on foreign technology.

B. They prioritized (优先) communication with their families.

C. They used basic tools due to limited resources.
