Yuan Longping, one of the world’s greatest scientists, died at the age of 91 in Hunan in 2021. He was called “the Father of Hybrid Rice (杂交水稻)” and helped feed people around the world.
Yuan Longping was the first person to develop a kind of hybrid rice which helped fight hunger in China. Food was a big problem in China in the past. This was because China had 22 percent of the world’s population, but only 7 percent of its farmland. In the 1960s, Chinese people had a difficult time because millions of people suffered from hunger. As an agronomy (农学) teacher, Yuan was very sad to see this. “How can I help them have enough food?” he thought. He decided to work on a kind of hybrid rice. It has a high output.
At that time, other scientists didn’t think hybrid rice was worth studying. But Yuan and his team worked on it every day. They took very good care of their rice seeds (种子).
At last, in 1973, they grew a new kind of hybrid rice. This rice is strong. Farmers can grow it in many different kinds of farmland and in bad weather. It can also fight disease. Its output is much greater than common kinds of rice. With the new kind, about 70,000,000 people could have food every year!
Yuan solved the food problem in China. But he was still working on rice when he was very old. Before he retired, he hoped to grow rice in the sea!
Yuan once said he had two dreams—to “enjoy the cool under the rice crops (庄稼) taller than men” and to grow hybrid rice all over the world to help solve the global (全球的) food problem.
1.Which of the following is NOT a reason for Yuan to work on hybrid rice at first?
A.Chinese people had a difficult time in the 1960s.
B.Yuan wanted to enjoy the cool under the rice crops.
C.China had a large population but not enough farmland.
D.Millions of Chinese people suffered from hunger at that time.
2.What does the underlined word “output” probably mean in Chinese?
A.营养 B.产量 C.效率 D.品质
3.What are the advantages of the hybrid rice?
① It can grow in many different kinds of farmland.
② It can grow in bad weather.
③ It can grow in the sea.
④ It can fight disease.
A.①②③ B.①③④ C.①②④ D.②③④
The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, was born on February 12, 1809. His family lived not far from the River Severn, England.
Darwin’s father was a well-known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist. Darwin’s father hoped that his son would also become a doctor.
As a boy, Darwin liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He watched nature, and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many things, birds, eggs, stones and leaves. His father did not like that, and Darwin was not studying very well at school.
At the age of sixteen, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh University to study in order that he could become a doctor. But he was interested in the history of nature.
Then he was sent to study in Cambridge University. There he studied until 1831.
Some time later he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and needed a scientist. His professor advised him to go. He said the trip would be just for Darwin. So when the ship left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it. His research lasted almost five years. The Beagle studied the waters in the sea near South America. It also visited New Zealand, Australia and islands in the Pacific. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants.
In 1842 Darwin went to live in Kent, where he continued his studies of changes in nature. Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change.
By 1859 Darwin had finished his famous book “The Origin of Species” (《物种起源》). It made a great hit in the world of science. He was opposed by the church and even by some scientists. But later, more and more scientists agreed with him.

Marie Curie, born Maria Sklodowska in Warsaw, Poland, in 1867, was a pioneering physicist and chemist who made groundbreaking contributions to the study of radioactivity. Despite facing significant obstacles as a woman in a male-dominated field, she became the first person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific disciplines—Physics in 1903 and Chemistry in 1911.
Curie’s early life was marked by hardship. Her family, once part of the educated middle class, fell into financial ruin due to political turmoil in Poland. Determined to pursue higher education, she moved to Paris in 1891 to study at the Sorbonne, where she excelled academically. In 1895, she married Pierre Curie, a French physicist, and the couple began collaborating on research into radioactive materials.
Their most famous discovery was the isolation of two new elements, polonium (named after Marie’s homeland) and radium, from pitchblende, a uranium-rich mineral. This work earned them the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics, shared with Henri Becquerel, who first discovered radioactivity. Tragically, Pierre died in a street accident in 1906, leaving Marie to continue their research alone.
Despite personal grief, Curie persisted. In 1911, she won her second Nobel Prize. this time in Chemistry, for her work on radium and polonium. She became the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne and later established the Radium Institute in Paris to further study radioactive elements. During World War I, she developed mobile X-ray units, known as “petites Curies”, to help treat wounded soldiers.
Curie’s dedication to science came at a personal cost. Prolonged exposure to radioactive materials eventually led to her death from aplastic anemia in 1934. However, her legacy endures. She inspired generations of scientists and laid the foundation for modern research into nuclear energy and cancer treatment.
1.What was Marie Curie’s birth name?

Wang Xiaoyun, a scientist from China, has won the 2025 UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) Women in Science Award. She won for her important work making computers and the internet safer for everyone. Ms. Wang is a professor at Tsinghua University. Her research has changed how the world protects computer information. UNESCO said her work “creates the math needed for safe talking online worldwide.”
Born in Shandong in 1966, Wang loved math when she was young. She studied for her PhD at Shandong University. There, she changed from studying pure math to learning about secret codes (密码). About 20 years ago, she made a big discovery. She found serious problems with two very common internet security codes (MD5 and SHA-1). Her discovery showed these codes weren’t safe enough. This made countries work together to create stronger security rules. Wang is most famous for leading the team that made China’s first national security code, called SM3. Today, SM3 is used everywhere in China to protect important things: money transfers (banks, payments), transport systems (trains, traffic), and power supplies (electricity).
Experts say SM3 keeps daily life safe, like when people pay online or prove who they are. The award committee said, “Her work connects hard math to real safety problems. It shows careful science helps the whole world.” The award ceremony was on June 12th in Paris. Wang’s winning shows China is becoming a leader in making new secret codes. She also inspires young people in science. Wang said, “Science has no borders. I hope my story makes more people want to explore the amazing world of math and technology.”

A.It connects difficult math to real safety problems.
B.It makes her a university professor.
C.It helps China lead in all science fields.
Malaria (疟疾) has been a deadly problem for humans since ancient times. Usually people get malaria when infected mosquitoes (被感染的蚊子) bite them. Many people have died from it. Thankfully, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found a drug called qinghaosu (青蒿素).
In 1969, Tu became the director of a national project to develop a drug against malaria. Her team went back to books about classical Chinese medicine. After reading more than 2000 old remedies (药方), Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and listed almost 380 possible remedies for malaria. She used a low-temperature method to extract (提取) the qinghaosu and succeeded in 1972.
After her team found that qinghaosu could treat malaria in mice and monkeys, Tu and two of her colleagues (同事) volunteered to test the drug on themselves before testing on patients. It turned out that the qinghaosu was safe.
Thanks to their work, millions of lives in the world have been saved. In 2015, Tu won the Nobel Prize for it. She thought the prize should belong to (属于) her colleagues and traditional Chinese medicine. She once proudly said, “Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world.”
1.How do people get malaria according to the passage?
A.By drinking polluted water. B.By eating bad food.
C.By being bitten by infected mosquitoes. D.By staying with other patients
2.What’s the purpose (目的) of Tu’s project?
A.To write a book about classical Chinese medicine. B.To find a way to treat malaria.
C.To collect plants from all over the world. D.To study the history of Chinese history.
3.Why did Tu and her colleagues test qinghaosu on themselves first?
A.Because they wanted to find out whether the drug was safe for humans.
B.Because they wanted to save time for patient testing.
C.Because they wanted to show they were brave.
D.Because animal tests had failed.
4.What did Tu think of the Nobel Prize she won in 2015?

C.She felt it was not important at all.
D.She was not satisfied with the prize.
Think of somebody you really admire. You will probably find that their success didn’t come easily. As “Father of Hybrid Rice”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life reducing hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population.
Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery (肝胆外科)”, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years. He performed more than 16,000 surgeries (手术) during his life. Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers. Wu once said, “I would work at the operating table until my dying day.”
In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria (疟疾), Tu Youyou, a pharmacologist (药学家), took on the job as head of a research team and performed different kinds of experiments (实验) with her teammates. However, the results failed. Instead of giving up, they kept trying. Finally, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, she finally received the Nobel Prize.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, believed that every failure was a step towards success. He once said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I am not sad, because every wrong try is another step forward.”
Some people only became successful after their deaths. The artist Vincent van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2,000 artworks in the following ten years. Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds.

“I spend my whole life doing one thing,” Gu Fangzhou once said. Known as "the father of sugar pills (糖丸)”, Gu passed away at age 92 on January 2nd, 2019. Eight months later he received a national honor title “The People’s Science” for his polio (骨髓灰质炎) research.
Gu Fangzhou was born in June, 1926. He studied at Peking University as a medical student in 1944. After graduation, Gu made the decision to work to help improve public health.
In 1955, polio broke out in Nantong. Jiangsu Province. It paralyzed (使瘫痪) 1680 people, mostly children aged below seven. cut spread to neighboring areas and resulted in 466 deaths. Gu was asked to lead pollo research in 1957. “At that time the only way to prevent polio was to invent a vaccine(疫苗),” said Gu.
In 1959 Gu succeeded in developing the first polio live vaccine. Later, he developed the “sugar-coated (糖衣) pill” vaccine in 1962. It not only tasted better but was much easier to keep. In order to test the vaccine, Gu himself tried the vaccine and later his one-month-old son was vaccinated. This inspired his team to vaccinate their kids. They became the first group of people in China to try a polio vaccine. “If we don’t believe in what we produce, how can others believe in it?” said Gu.
Later, the sugar pill was popular in China. It saved millions of people, especially kids. In 2000, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced (宣布) that China was already a polio-free country.“We feel satisfied. I can tell people that I tried my best, and your kids will no longer get polio,” said Gu. “That’s all we hoped for.”

Huang Xuhua, chief designer of China’s first-generation nuclear submarines (核潜艇), died on Thursday evening in Wuhan, Hubei province. Huang was given the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest honor, in 2019.
Born in March 1926 to a family of doctors in Guangdong province. After spending his boyhood in wartime, he joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study shipbuilding. There the young man learned about the communist revolution (共产主义革命) and joined the Communist Party of China in April 1949, right before his graduation. After receiving his bachelor’s diploma (学士学位证书), Huang started his lifelong career in China’s shipbuilding industry. In 1958, Huang was selected to join the research team tasked with designing China’s first nuclear-powered submarine.
At the beginning, Huang and his colleagues found that China lacked the basic conditions to develop such a sophisticated hardware technology (复杂的硬件技术). None of them had any knowledge in that field, and since other countries were extremely protective of such technologies, they hardly had any technical reference (参考) materials.
Huang and his colleagues started by scouring (搜寻) newspapers and magazines for information, which was very difficult to find and was either too fragmented (碎片化的) or hard to tell whether it was true or false.
The team members didn’t have any computers or digital calculators, so they used abacuses (算盘) and rulers to solve problems. Their work didn’t stopped even from 1962 to 1965, when China was undergoing economic difficulties.
After years of painstaking (艰苦的) efforts, China finally built its first nuclear-powered submarine —the first Type 091—in 1970, becoming the fifth nation to have such hardware.
Huang’s name remained classified until 1987 when a magazine in Shanghai was allowed to publish a report on him, which only disclosed his family name of Huang.
Even in his 90s, the designer used to visit his office every weekday morning to review and arranged materials of his know-how and experience, and would also give young researchers advice on technical issues (技术问题).
As young people, we should learn from the older generation of heroes like Huang.
1.Put the following events about Huang in the right order.
a. He joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University. b. He joined the research team for nuclear submarine.
c. He graduated from the university. d. He joined the Communist Party of China.
e. He started work in shipbuilding industry.
A.a-b-c-d-e B.a-b-d-e-c C.a-d-c-e-b D.a-c-d-e-b
2.The writer uses paragraphs from 3 to 5 to mainly show ________.
A.How difficult the work conditions were B.how hard the older heroes worked
C.How united the researchers were D.how the government supported their work
3.At the beginning, Huang and his colleagues found it hard to design China’s first nuclear-powered submarine because of the following except ______.
A.None of them had any knowledge in that field
B.Other countries were extremely protective of such technologies
C.They couldn’t find any newspapers and magazines to scour the information
D.China lacked the basic conditions to develop such a sophisticated hardware technology
4.Which statement is right according to the passage?
A.Huang was born in a family of teachers.
B.The computer wasn’t still invented in 1960s.
C.In his 90s, Huang still went to help the young every morning.
D.China became the fifth country having nuclear submarine in 1970.
5.What’s the writer’s main purpose to write the passage?
A.To introduce the history of Chinese nuclear submarine.
B.To introduce the achievement of Huang and his leagues.
C.To introduce Huang’s life and call on young people learn from him.
D.To introduce how the first Chinese nuclear submarine was built.
Marie was born in Poland on November 7, 1867.
Marie’s family had many troubles. Her mother was seriously ill. When Marie was 6, her father lost his job and their home. They moved to a small flat. It was noisy and crowded. But the noise did not stop her from studying.
In 1883, Marie finished high school. She dreamed of becoming a scientist. But in Poland, girls were not allowed to go to college. And her family did not have enough money to send her to a university in another country.
Reaching her dream seemed impossible.
Marie and her sister Bronya decided to study in France. Marie would work to pay for Bronya’s schooling. Then, once Bronya left school, she would work and pay for Marie’s schooling.
Finally, in 1891, Marie’s dream came true. She entered a university in Paris. In three years, she got advanced degrees in Physics and Maths. She also met a scientist named Pierre Curie and they married in 1895.
Marie studied a metal element called uranium. She wanted to study uranium because scientists knew it gave off unseeable rays of energy. She wondered where the rays came from.
Marie began testing rocks to find out if other elements gave off rays, too. Marie concluded two elements (元素) found in the rocks were radioactive. They were thorium and uranium.
She called the energy “radioactivity”. Marie’s experiments were so exciting that she and Pierre soon began working together. One day, Marie began testing a black rock. Marie discovered a new element in the rock. She named it “polonium”. After Marie took away the polonium, the rock was still radioactive. She knew another radioactive element was inside the rock. She called it “radium”.
In 1903, Marie and Pierre received the Nobel Prize in Physics. Marie was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize. In 1911, Marie accepted the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. She was the first person to receive two Nobel Prizes.
Yet the work made her sick. On July 4, 1934, Marie Curie died of a blood disease that may be caused by radiation.
Marie’s discoveries helped save millions of lives and changed the scientific world. Radiation has been used to treat cancer. Her ideas about the atom helped lead to the discovery of nuclear energy.
1.What happened to Marie?
A.She received the Noble Prizes in Physics and Maths.
B.She was born in a rich family in Poland.
C.She discovered the two new elements were radioactive.
D.She went to university in France because she loved France.
2.What caused Marie to study uranium?
A.The experiment was very exciting.
B.The scientists knew nothing about uranium.
C.She wanted to know where the rays came from.
D.She wanted to work together with her husband.
3.What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce Marie’s life. B.To introduce Marie’s dream.
C.To introduce the Nobel Prize. D.To introduce polonium and radium.

基础语篇巩固练
Yuan Longping, one of the world’s greatest scientists, died at the age of 91 in Hunan in 2021. He was called “the Father of Hybrid Rice (杂交水稻)” and helped feed people around the world.
Yuan Longping was the first person to develop a kind of hybrid rice which helped fight hunger in China. Food was a big problem in China in the past. This was because China had 22 percent of the world’s population, but only 7 percent of its farmland. In the 1960s, Chinese people had a difficult time because millions of people suffered from hunger. As an agronomy (农学) teacher, Yuan was very sad to see this. “How can I help them have enough food?” he thought. He decided to work on a kind of hybrid rice. It has a high output.
At that time, other scientists didn’t think hybrid rice was worth studying. But Yuan and his team worked on it every day. They took very good care of their rice seeds (种子).
At last, in 1973, they grew a new kind of hybrid rice. This rice is strong. Farmers can grow it in many different kinds of farmland and in bad weather. It can also fight disease. Its output is much greater than common kinds of rice. With the new kind, about 70,000,000 people could have food every year!
Yuan solved the food problem in China. But he was still working on rice when he was very old. Before he retired, he hoped to grow rice in the sea!
Yuan once said he had two dreams—to “enjoy the cool under the rice crops (庄稼) taller than men” and to grow hybrid rice all over the world to help solve the global (全球的) food problem.
1.Which of the following is NOT a reason for Yuan to work on hybrid rice at first?
A.Chinese people had a difficult time in the 1960s.
B.Yuan wanted to enjoy the cool under the rice crops.
C.China had a large population but not enough farmland.
D.Millions of Chinese people suffered from hunger at that time.
2.What does the underlined word “output” probably mean in Chinese?
A.营养 B.产量 C.效率 D.品质
3.What are the advantages of the hybrid rice?
① It can grow in many different kinds of farmland.
② It can grow in bad weather.
③ It can grow in the sea.
④ It can fight disease.
A.①②③ B.①③④ C.①②④ D.②③④
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.C
【导语】本文介绍了“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平的伟大贡献,包括他研发杂交水稻的初衷、过程及其优势,展现了他为解决全球粮食问题所做的努力。
1.细节理解题。根据第2段“Yuan was very sad to see this. ‘How can I help them have enough food?’ he thought.”可知,袁隆平研究杂交水稻的初衷是解决中国人的饥饿问题,而“enjoy the cool under the rice crops”是他的梦想,并非最初的研究动机。故选B。
2.词句猜测题。根据第2段“‘How can I help them have enough food?’.....It has a high output.”及第4段“Its output is much greater than common kinds of rice.”可知,袁隆平想要解决人们的饥饿问题,决定培育出高产量的水稻,所以“output”意为“产量”。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据第4段“Farmers can grow it in many different kinds of farmland and in bad weather. It can also fight disease.”可知,杂交水稻的优势包括适应多种农田、耐恶劣天气和抗病害,而“grow in the sea”是袁隆平退休前的目标,尚未实现。故选C。
The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, was born on February 12, 1809. His family lived not far from the River Severn, England.
Darwin’s father was a well-known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist. Darwin’s father hoped that his son would also become a doctor.
As a boy, Darwin liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He watched nature, and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many things, birds, eggs, stones and leaves. His father did not like that, and Darwin was not studying very well at school.
At the age of sixteen, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh University to study in order that he could become a doctor. But he was interested in the history of nature.
Then he was sent to study in Cambridge University. There he studied until 1831.
Some time later he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and needed a scientist. His professor advised him to go. He said the trip would be just for Darwin. So when the ship left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it. His research lasted almost five years. The Beagle studied the waters in the sea near South America. It also visited New Zealand, Australia and islands in the Pacific. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants.
In 1842 Darwin went to live in Kent, where he continued his studies of changes in nature. Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change.
By 1859 Darwin had finished his famous book “The Origin of Species” (《物种起源》). It made a great hit in the world of science. He was opposed by the church and even by some scientists. But later, more and more scientists agreed with him.

Marie Curie, born Maria Sklodowska in Warsaw, Poland, in 1867, was a pioneering physicist and chemist who made groundbreaking contributions to the study of radioactivity. Despite facing significant obstacles as a woman in a male-dominated field, she became the first person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific disciplines—Physics in 1903 and Chemistry in 1911.
Curie’s early life was marked by hardship. Her family, once part of the educated middle class, fell into financial ruin due to political turmoil in Poland. Determined to pursue higher education, she moved to Paris in 1891 to study at the Sorbonne, where she excelled academically. In 1895, she married Pierre Curie, a French physicist, and the couple began collaborating on research into radioactive materials.
Their most famous discovery was the isolation of two new elements, polonium (named after Marie’s homeland) and radium, from pitchblende, a uranium-rich mineral. This work earned them the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics, shared with Henri Becquerel, who first discovered radioactivity. Tragically, Pierre died in a street accident in 1906, leaving Marie to continue their research alone.
Despite personal grief, Curie persisted. In 1911, she won her second Nobel Prize. this time in Chemistry, for her work on radium and polonium. She became the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne and later established the Radium Institute in Paris to further study radioactive elements. During World War I, she developed mobile X-ray units, known as “petites Curies”, to help treat wounded soldiers.
Curie’s dedication to science came at a personal cost. Prolonged exposure to radioactive materials eventually led to her death from aplastic anemia in 1934. However, her legacy endures. She inspired generations of scientists and laid the foundation for modern research into nuclear energy and cancer treatment.

Wang Xiaoyun, a scientist from China, has won the 2025 UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) Women in Science Award. She won for her important work making computers and the internet safer for everyone. Ms. Wang is a professor at Tsinghua University. Her research has changed how the world protects computer information. UNESCO said her work “creates the math needed for safe talking online worldwide.”
Born in Shandong in 1966, Wang loved math when she was young. She studied for her PhD at Shandong University. There, she changed from studying pure math to learning about secret codes (密码). About 20 years ago, she made a big discovery. She found serious problems with two very common internet security codes (MD5 and SHA-1). Her discovery showed these codes weren’t safe enough. This made countries work together to create stronger security rules. Wang is most famous for leading the team that made China’s first national security code, called SM3. Today, SM3 is used everywhere in China to protect important things: money transfers (banks, payments), transport systems (trains, traffic), and power supplies (electricity).
Experts say SM3 keeps daily life safe, like when people pay online or prove who they are. The award committee said, “Her work connects hard math to real safety problems. It shows careful science helps the whole world.” The award ceremony was on June 12th in Paris. Wang’s winning shows China is becoming a leader in making new secret codes. She also inspires young people in science. Wang said, “Science has no borders. I hope my story makes more people want to explore the amazing world of math and technology.”

Think of somebody you really admire. You will probably find that their success didn’t come easily. As “Father of Hybrid Rice”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life reducing hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population.
Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery (肝胆外科)”, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years. He performed more than 16,000 surgeries (手术) during his life. Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers. Wu once said, “I would work at the operating table until my dying day.”
In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria (疟疾), Tu Youyou, a pharmacologist (药学家), took on the job as head of a research team and performed different kinds of experiments (实验) with her teammates. However, the results failed. Instead of giving up, they kept trying. Finally, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, she finally received the Nobel Prize.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, believed that every failure was a step towards success. He once said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I am not sad, because every wrong try is another step forward.”
Some people only became successful after their deaths. The artist Vincent van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend.

重难语篇提升练
Huang Xuhua, chief designer of China’s first-generation nuclear submarines (核潜艇), died on Thursday evening in Wuhan, Hubei province. Huang was given the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest honor, in 2019.
Born in March 1926 to a family of doctors in Guangdong province. After spending his boyhood in wartime, he joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study shipbuilding. There the young man learned about the communist revolution (共产主义革命) and joined the Communist Party of China in April 1949, right before his graduation. After receiving his bachelor’s diploma (学士学位证书), Huang started his lifelong career in China’s shipbuilding industry. In 1958, Huang was selected to join the research team tasked with designing China’s first nuclear-powered submarine.
At the beginning, Huang and his colleagues found that China lacked the basic conditions to develop such a sophisticated hardware technology (复杂的硬件技术). None of them had any knowledge in that field, and since other countries were extremely protective of such technologies, they hardly had any technical reference (参考) materials.
Huang and his colleagues started by scouring (搜寻) newspapers and magazines for information, which was very difficult to find and was either too fragmented (碎片化的) or hard to tell whether it was true or false.
The team members didn’t have any computers or digital calculators, so they used abacuses (算盘) and rulers to solve problems. Their work didn’t stopped even from 1962 to 1965, when China was undergoing economic difficulties.
After years of painstaking (艰苦的) efforts, China finally built its first nuclear-powered submarine —the first Type 091—in 1970, becoming the fifth nation to have such hardware.
Huang’s name remained classified until 1987 when a magazine in Shanghai was allowed to publish a report on him, which only disclosed his family name of Huang.
Even in his 90s, the designer used to visit his office every weekday morning to review and arranged materials of his know-how and experience, and would also give young researchers advice on technical issues (技术问题).
As young people, we should learn from the older generation of heroes like Huang.
1.Put the following events about Huang in the right order.
a. He joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University. b. He joined the research team for nuclear submarine.
c. He graduated from the university. d. He joined the Communist Party of China.
e. He started work in shipbuilding industry.

Marie was born in Poland on November 7, 1867.
Marie’s family had many troubles. Her mother was seriously ill. When Marie was 6, her father lost his job and their home. They moved to a small flat. It was noisy and crowded. But the noise did not stop her from studying.
In 1883, Marie finished high school. She dreamed of becoming a scientist. But in Poland, girls were not allowed to go to college. And her family did not have enough money to send her to a university in another country.
Reaching her dream seemed impossible.
Marie and her sister Bronya decided to study in France. Marie would work to pay for Bronya’s schooling. Then, once Bronya left school, she would work and pay for Marie’s schooling.
Finally, in 1891, Marie’s dream came true. She entered a university in Paris. In three years, she got advanced degrees in Physics and Maths. She also met a scientist named Pierre Curie and they married in 1895.
Marie studied a metal element called uranium. She wanted to study uranium because scientists knew it gave off unseeable rays of energy. She wondered where the rays came from.
Marie began testing rocks to find out if other elements gave off rays, too. Marie concluded two elements (元素) found in the rocks were radioactive. They were thorium and uranium.
She called the energy “radioactivity”. Marie’s experiments were so exciting that she and Pierre soon began working together. One day, Marie began testing a black rock. Marie discovered a new element in the rock. She named it “polonium”. After Marie took away the polonium, the rock was still radioactive. She knew another radioactive element was inside the rock. She called it “radium”.
In 1903, Marie and Pierre received the Nobel Prize in Physics. Marie was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize. In 1911, Marie accepted the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. She was the first person to receive two Nobel Prizes.
Yet the work made her sick. On July 4, 1934, Marie Curie died of a blood disease that may be caused by radiation.
Marie’s discoveries helped save millions of lives and changed the scientific world. Radiation has been used to treat cancer. Her ideas about the atom helped lead to the discovery of nuclear energy.
