A

(2025·山东潍坊期中)As one of the longest-running and largest sci-fi-themed events globally，the 81s World Science Fiction Convention (WorldCon) took place in Chengdu，Southwest China's Sichuan Province in October，2023，the first time that the conference has been held in China.

“I think the Chengdu WorldCon offers a chance for the rest of the world to know more about Chinese sci-fi，and for China to learn more about sci-fi cultural products that are being made in the rest of the world，” says sinologist (汉学家) Agustín Alepuz Morales.

“I hope that I can contribute to making Chinese sci-fi better known among the Spanish-speaking public，whether through this convention or in any other way，” the Spaniard says.

Alepuz also goes by his Chinese name Xia Haiming.With over a decade of experience in translation including works，such as Death's End，the third novel of Liu Cixin' s Hugo Award-winning sci-fi novel The Three-Body Problem，Alepuz has devoted his life to bridging the gap between China and the West.

To truly understand China，Alepuz noted that one must bury oneself in its culture，language，and history.He has been living in Beijing since he first arrived as a student at Renmin University of China in 2007.After graduation，he decided to stay，and then worked in different fields including translation and language teaching.

“So far it has been 16 years of fascinating experiences which have helped me grow both as a professional and as a person，” Alepuz notes.

Alepuz was given the “Friend of Chinese Literature” award for his outstanding contributions to bringing Chinese literature to the world.When asked what attracted him to Chinese science fiction specifically，Alepuz explained that he spent most of his childhood and teenage years reading sci-fi novels and short stories，and thus he became interested in Chinese sci-fi from an early stage of his study of the Chinese language and culture.

1．What does Alepuz think of Chengdu WorldCon?

A．It acts as a cultural bridge.

B．It represents a powerful China.

C．It builds a book selling platform.

D．It popularizes the Spanish study.

2．What did Alepuz do as a sinologist?

A．He wrote a sci-fi novel.
