Minqin County, located in the city of Wuwei in Gansu Province, is between China’s third and fourth largest deserts—the Badain Jaran and the Tengger. Local people plant suosuo trees, a plant that can survive in the desert, to prevent further desertification (沙漠化).

Huang Xuhua, chief designer of China’s first-generation nuclear submarines (核潜艇), died on February 6th, 2025 in Wuhan, Hubei province. Huang was given the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest honor, in 2019.
Born in March 1926 to a family of doctors in Guangdong province. After spending his boyhood in wartime, he joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study shipbuilding. There the young man learned about the communist revolution (共产主义革命) and joined the Communist Party of China in April 1949, right before his graduation. After receiving his bachelor’s diploma (学士学位证书), Huang started his lifelong career in China’s shipbuilding industry. In 1958, Huang was selected to join the research team tasked with designing China’s first nuclear-powered submarine.
At the beginning, Huang and his colleagues found that China lacked the basic conditions to develop such a sophisticated hardware technology (复杂的硬件技术). None of them had any knowledge in that field, and since other countries were extremely protective of such technologies, they hardly had any technical reference (参考) materials.
Huang and his colleagues started by scouring (搜寻) newspapers and magazines for information, which was very difficult to find and was either too fragmented (碎片化的) or hard to tell whether it was true or false.
The team members didn’t have any computers or digital calculators, so they used abacuses (算盘) and rulers to solve problems. Their work didn’t stop even from 1962 to 1965, when China was undergoing economic difficulties.
After years of painstaking (艰苦的) efforts, China finally built its first nuclear-powered submarine —the first Type 091—in 1970, becoming the fifth nation to have such hardware.
Huang’s name remained classified until 1987 when a magazine in Shanghai was allowed to publish a report on him, which only disclosed his family name of Huang.
Even in his 90s, the designer used to visit his office every weekday morning to review and arranged materials of his know-how and experience, and would also give young researchers advice on technical issues (技术问题).
As young people, we should learn from the older generation of heroes like Huang.
21.Put the following events about Huang in the right order.
a. He joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
b. He joined the research team for nuclear submarine.
c. He graduated from the university.
d. He joined the Communist Party of China.
e. He started work in shipbuilding industry.
A.a-b-c-d-e B.a-b-d-e-c C.a-d-c-e-b D.a-c-d-e-b
22.The writer uses paragraphs from 3 to 5 to mainly show ________.
A.How difficult the work conditions were B.how hard the older heroes worked
C.How united the researchers were D.how the government supported their work
23.At the beginning, Huang and his colleagues found it hard to design China’s first nuclear-powered submarine because of the following except ______.
A.None of them had any knowledge in that field
B.Other countries were extremely protective of such technologies
C.They couldn’t find any newspapers and magazines to scour the information
D.China lacked the basic conditions to develop such a sophisticated hardware technology
24.Which statement is right according to the passage
A.Huang was born in a family of teachers.
B.The computer wasn’t still invented in 1960s.
C.In his 90s, Huang still went to help the young every morning.
D.China became the fifth country having nuclear submarine in 1970.
25.What’s the writer’s main purpose to write the passage

C.To introduce Huang’s life and call on young people learn from him.
