Yuan Longping lived a simple life, cared about hungry people and devoted all his energy to feeding the world. He never cared about fame or money, but rooted himself in the land to do meaningful things. This saying helps me shape good qualities and live a valuable life. (Fu Xing) “Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood.” The brave female scientist Marie Curie stuck to her research for years under terrible conditions. She was not afraid of unknown radioactive materials. Instead, she chose to study and understand them little by little, finally winning two Nobel Prizes. She believed fear only comes from ignorance (无知). This saying reminds me to face difficulties bravely instead of running away from troubles. (Lucy) “The important thing is to never stop questioning.” This saying has encouraged lots of young learners. The great scientist Albert Einstein kept asking questions all his life. He never accepted facts without thinking deeply. His endless curiosity helped him make world-famous achievements in physics. Einstein’s story tells us curiosity is the key to discovery. This saying teaches us to think actively and dare to ask “why” in study and life. (Chen Hao) 16．In which part of the newspaper can we read the passage? A．GOOD HABITS B．FAMOUS SAYINGS C．SPORTS NEWS D．STUDY METHODS 17．Which saying does Fu Xing prefer? A．A person is just like a seed; we should try to be a good seed.

He has worked in Madagascar (马达加斯加岛) for 18 years. He first arrived there in 2007. At that time, China started a project on the island to show its hybrid rice. The rice in Madagascar didn’t grow well because of poor soil and the climate (气候). Hu decided to stay and help. After many years of work, Hu and his team made five new kinds of rice seeds. They can grow well even in dry weather and heavy rains. The harder task was making the local farmers believe and accept these “foreign” seeds. Hu decided to demonstrate the advantages. He used the same way to plant local rice and hybrid rice and then compared the two. The results showed that the hybrid rice seeds could produce two to three times more rice! The local farmers were so excited! “Good seeds aren’t enough. Farmers must know how to grow them,” Hu said. He taught them carefully. When farmers nearby had problems, he rode over on his motorbike. If they were far away, he helped them by phone. Hu has missed many important family moments. He sees his family only once a year. He wasn’t there when his mother passed away, and he wasn’t there when his grandson was born. But he stays strong and keeps working. He hopes to return home in two or three years, but only after he teaches others to continue his work. 21.Why did Hu decide to stay in Madagascar? A．To study the local climate.

C Huang Xuhua, a great Chinese scientist, passed away at the age of 99 on February 6th, 2025.But his great achievements and strong spirit will always be in our hearts and continue to guide us to a brighter future. Born in Guangdong Province in 1926, Huang saw the hard times of his homeland in the war during his childhood. These painful memories pushed him to study hard, and he made up his mind to use his knowledge to make the country strong. In the 1950s, when China began the challenging journey of developing nuclear submarines（核潜艇）, Huang Xuhua took action bravely. It was such a difficult task in China at that time. However, he and his team accepted the challenge. To keep the project secret, they worked in secret, away from their families. Huang Xuhua had to be away from his hometown for years. During the design process, they met lots of challenges. Designing a nuclear reactor（反应堆）, for example, was really difficult. China didn't have the technology and resources for such a project, and other countries kept their technology secret. They needed to depend on their own research. Without computers, they could only use abacuses（算盘）and rulers to do their work. Another key problem was making sure of the submarine's underwater stability（稳定性）.After many tests, they finally succeeded. In the 1970s, China' s first nuclear submarine was successfully built and tested. This made China become the fifth country to have one. Huang Xuhua didn't rest on his laurels（荣誉）. Instead, he continued to improve submarine technology. And he got the “Medal of the Republic” in 2019. Now, as we remember him, we understand that his life teaches us to be brave and never give up. We should learn from his spirit. Let's take the responsibility, face challenges bravely, and work hard to build a stronger China. 26．Why did Huang Xuhua leave his hometown for years? A．To study abroad for better education. B．To take care of his family during the war. C．To keep the nuclear submarine project secret. D．To find resources for the submarine design. 27．What does “one” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．A leading scientist. B．A nuclear submarine. C．An excellent team. D．A secret project. 28．Which is the correct order of the events? a. He received the Medal of the Republic. b. China's first nuclear submarine succeeded. c. He worked on nuclear submarines secretly. d. Huang Xuhua saw China's difficulties and studied hard. e. He made a promise to make China strong with knowledge. A．d→e→c→b→a B．d→c→e→b→a C．e→d→c→a→b D．e→d→c→b→a 29．What can we learn from the passage? A．Scientists should always work independently without teamwork.

Luckily, an expert on automation（自动化）called Zhang Liangang solved this problem. He won the 2023 “Touching China” award on April 8th,2024. Zhang studied automatic control in college. “I chose to study it because our country had been left behind in this field,” he said.

In 2013, although he didn’t get well from a serious illness, he accepted the task of leading a team to build a fully automatic port. “It had always been our dream to build a fully automatic port,” he said. “If we could make it, it would be better for my health than medicine.” Zhang and his team spent 15 months working day and night to complete the design of an automatic port. It took three and a half years to build the port, and it was finally put into service in 2017．Even after that achievement, Zhang didn’t stop.
