(2025·山东烟台期中)Cesare Mencarini recently graduated from high school in England with excellent grades.But he was probably more excited about the success he had the previous year—building a working nuclear fusion reactor (核聚变反应堆) at the age of 16.

Fusion energy is created when hydrogen atoms “fuse” (融合) together.Many people see fusion energy as the perfect energy for the future.The fuel (燃料) needed for fusion reactions is cheap，and

there's plenty of it.Fusion could easily provide energy with very little pollution.

As a child，Cesare became interested in electronics，and learned to program computers.When he was in high school，after seeing a video about someone building a fusion reactor，Cesare decided he wanted to build one，too.Initially，the school wasn't so excited about the idea.But Cesare worked to persuade his teachers.Finally，after a complete safety review，and with an extra advisor offering to help out，the school agreed.

Cesare was a strong student，but what troubled him most was that his regular classes weren't teaching him how to build a fusion reactor.To learn this，he spent countless hours doing research，looking up information on the Internet，and watching videos.He also joined a website where he got advice from scientists with more experience.

Step by step，working long hours with his physics teacher and his advisor，Cesare built the reactor and finished it last June.Over a year has passed since then.Cesare has continued to improve the reactor by trial and error.

He's one of the youngest students to have built such an advanced fusion reactor.But for Cesare，it wasn't just about the reactor.It was also about learning by doing，and about making connections with other people doing similar things.No matter which college he goes to，he'll probably continue to change people's ideas about how much young people can achieve.

4．What do we know about fusion energy?

A．It costs a lot to produce.

B．It's rarely available.

C．It fully solves energy shortage.

D．It's environmentally friendly.

5．What led Cesare to build a fusion reactor?

A．Insight into programming computers.

B．His childhood dream.

C．Inspiration from a stranger's experience.

D．Encouragement from teachers.

6．What was the biggest challenge for Cesare?

A．He lacked professional knowledge.

B．He couldn't screen out existing danger.

C．He was unable to figure out some concepts.

D．He couldn't obtain enough fund for research.

7．What can be the best title of the text?

A．Cesare Invents the Best Renewable Energy
