While his friends talked about games, Xu was busy creating stories about spaceships and faraway planets. No one knew that this quiet boy was about to become a young writer. It all started in primary school. Xu spent many hours after class writing. He filled notebook after notebook. His hard work finally paid off—a 260,000-word science fiction novel titled Meteor was published. One exciting day, a letter arrived. He had won a third-class prize in a national writing competition! This success brought great joy to him and showed that his dream was achievable. However, the road wasn’t always easy. He met difficulties finding the correct scientific facts. It was also hard to decide how the characters would solve problems on the Moon. During these moments, he turned to the internet for research, and his mother was always there with a cup of milk and encouraging words, helping him organize his thoughts. His curiosity grew beyond writing. He started learning about real space science and even won a prize in the National Youth Space Innovation (创新) Competition. This experience connected his imagination with real-world science, making his new book, Flying to the Moon, even richer. From a primary school student to a young writer, Xu Weixuan shows us that with love and hard work, we can also achieve our dreams. 11.

They enjoyed using Chinese mobile payment tools like Alipay and WeChat Pay. To make travel easier, China also made it easier to get visas (签证) and tax refunds (退税). Experts said China’s digital payment technologies helped tourism and the economy (经济). Data from Alipay showed that foreign tourists spent nearly 40% more than last year. Many visitors used Alipay’s “Tap to Pay” for quick payments without touching the machine. The number of this kind of payment grew very fast. Popular spending areas included dining, tourism, shopping, and transportation. With the help of the government, Alipay worked with tax refund organizations to offer easy tax refund services in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, making tourists more willing to spend. In Beijing, the sales in the duty-free (免税) shops went over 22 million yuan during the holiday. This number was double last year’s. China is also making it easier for foreigners to pay. They can now use their international bank cards on Alipay and WeChat Pay. Hong Yang, an expert, said that digital payments and easier visa attracted more foreign tourists. He also said, “Mobile payment makes paying easier and faster, and gives people a better experience.” The holiday spending showed the strong vitality (活力) of China’s consumer market. It not only helps business but also makes the country more connected and open to the world. 16. What happened during the National Day holiday? A. More foreigners visited China. B.

C Professor Aronnax was once on a ship called the Abraham Lincoln. He and the crew were looking for a strange sea monster that many ships had seen. One night, the Abraham Lincoln hit something hard in the water. The professor fell into the sea and was saved by a man named Captain Nemo. Nemo took him to his submarine (潜水艇), the Nautilus. Captain Nemo guided me through the heart of his submarine, the Nautilus. With a sense of pride, he said, “Professor, everything here is powered by electricity. I get chemicals from seawater to produce it. It gives us light, heat, movement, and, life itself.” “But what about the air you breathe?” I asked, curious about this important problem. “I could produce it from water,” he replied, “but it is unnecessary. We often rise to the surface. I also keep some air for times when we cannot go up quickly.” Later, in the sitting room, he showed me a drawing. “The Nautilus,” he explained, “is shaped like a cigar (雪茄), 232 feet long. It has two iron bodies. To go down, I fill special water boxes with seawater. To rise, I expel the water using powerful pumps (水泵). We go down slowly to allow our bodies to get used to the increasing pressure. The windows are ten inches thick to stay strong in the deep sea.” I then turned to something else important. “Captain, what about the Scotia? Did you hit it by accident or did you mean to do it?” “It was an accident,” he said calmly. “I was sailing very close to the surface, only 1.8 meters down, so the collision (碰撞) was unavoidable.” “And the Abraham Lincoln?” I continued. “Professor,” his voice becoming serious, “that ship was trying to hit me. I was simply protecting myself and my submarine. Here, in the freedom of the deep ocean, I am my own master. I don’t have to explain myself to any nation.” His words felt full of history and bravery. 21. What provides energy for the Nautilus? A. Oil. B. Sunlight. C. Electricity. D. Wind. 22. What does the underlined word “expel” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Push out. B. Slow down. C. Heat up. D. Connect to. 23. Why does Captain Nemo mention “only 1.8 meters down” about the Scotia accident? A. To show how his submarine can sail in not deep water. B. To describe how fast the Nautilus was travelling. C. To explain that the weather that day was not good. D. To suggest that the collision was just an accident. 24. Which is the right order of what happened in the story? ①They talked about the collision with the Scotia. ②Captain Nemo showed how the Nautilus went up and down. ③They talked about the accident with the Abraham Lincoln. ④Professor asked about the air in the submarine. ⑤Captain Nemo explained the energy on the submarine.
