When he was young, he saw the hard times of China. Then he studied hard and decided to make the country strong. In the 1950s, China started to develop nuclear submarines(核潜艇).At that time, there wasn't developed technology or good research conditions. The task was almost impossible to finish. However, Huang and his team took on this challenge. To keep the task secret, they stopped keeping in touch with the outside world—even with their families. During the design process, Huang and his team met lots of problems. They couldn't get help from foreign experts, so they had to depend on their own research. They used simple tools like abacuses ( )to calculate and do research with great effort. Another problem was making sure the submarine would keep working well under the water. After many tests, they slowly solved all the problems. Finally, in the 1970s, China's first nuclear submarine was built and tested successfully. It made China one of the few countries that had this ability. However, Huang didn't stop there. He went on to help with the development of China's submarine technology, which won him many honours, including the Medal of the Republic in 2019. 11.What do we know about Huang Xuhua? A.

In the early 1990s, an idea got into Nan's mind: he wanted to build a radio telescope(望远镜) 500 metres across. The biggest one in China then was less than 30 metres across. To realize the dream, Nan gave up a well-paid job at one of the world's top scientific research centres and returned to China in 1994. The first challenge for Nan and his team was finding a proper place—a problem that took the scientist 12 years to solve. Finally, when Nan discovered a large crater(坑) in Guizhou Province, he knew he had found it. The cable-net construction(索网结构建设) of the telescope was another challenge. Nan and his team had nothing to learn from and nobody to ask for help.“During every failure, Nan was there, trying around the clock to find out a solution,”said Jiang Peng, Nan's helper.“Most of the scientists working on the FAST project focus on different fields, but Nan knew everything.” After more than twenty years, the project was successfully completed when FAST, the largest radio telescope in the world, opened in 2016. FAST can receive signals(信号) from 10 billion light years away, and with it, Nan hoped to discover more secrets of the universe and life.“The reason humans turned from lower forms of life to what we are now is that we've kept exploring,” Nan said. Sadly, FAST, also called the China Sky Eye, had just started to “watch” the universe, while Nan closed his eyes forever. 46.Why did Nan Rendong return to China in 1994?                                                                                                                47.What were the problems or challenges Nan faced?                                                                                                                48.How was Nan Rendong in Jiang Peng's eyes?                                                                                                                49.What great value does FAST have?                                                                                                                50.What can we learn from Nan Rendong?                                                                                                               ​​​​​​​ 六、书面表达（1小题，共20分） 假如你是李华,你校英文报正在开展以“My role model of our time”为题的征文活动,请你根据以下思维导图的提示,用英文写一篇短文,介绍一位你敬佩的当代杰出人物并分享你的感悟。 要求:(1)短文应包含导图中的全部信息; (2)语法正确,意思通顺、连贯,书写规范; (3)短文中不得出现你的任何真实信息(姓名、校名和地名等); (4)80词左右(已给出部分不计入总词数。) My role model of our time Role models make us become a better person.
