Captain Nemo took me to the dining room. We sat at a table in the middle of the room and ate a delicious lunch. He told me that all the food came from the sea. “I love the sea,” he said. “It gives me everything that I need. Even my clothes come from the sea. It is a place of perfect peace. There are no governments, no taxes, and no wars. Here, I am truly free! I will never return to the land.”
He took me to see the library which had thousands of books in many languages. Then he showed me the art gallery. It had many paintings by famous artists. The next room was a museum with all kinds of treasures from the sea. I had never seen such a good museum.
Captain Nemo was very proud of his collection and very proud of the Nautilus. He told me that he had discovered a way to make electricity using salt and mercury. This electricity gave the Nautilus all the power it needed to move through the water. Huge pumps filled and emptied tanks of air and water to make the Nautilus sink or rise.
After we got to the engine room, Captain Nemo showed me the engine and explained how it worked. The Nautilus was seventy meters long and eight meters wide. It had a cylindrical shape with points on each end and weighed 1,500 tons. “It’s a wonderful ship!” I exclaimed. “I love it as if it were my child,” he replied.
“How did you build it in secret ” I asked. “All the parts were made in different countries. I used different names each time I placed an order. I took all the parts to a desert island, and my workmen put them together. Then, we burned our workshops.” “It must have cost a fortune!” I exclaimed.
“Millions of dollars,” he replied. “However, I have billions!”
—Taken from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

A. a-d-e-c-b B. a-b-d-e-c C. a-b-c-e-d D. a-d-e-b-c

OpenClaw: The Viral AI Agent Igniting a National “Lobster” Craze
In early March 2026, an open-source AI tool called OpenClaw became very popular in China. People call it “the Lobster” because its icon is a red lobster. It started a nationwide trend called “raising lobsters” — that means installing, setting up, and customizing the tool. Thousands of tech fans waited in line for free setup in Shenzhen and Shanghai, and paid setup services also became popular online quickly.
Unlike common chatbots like ChatGPT, OpenClaw is made to do real work. It can run locally on many operating systems and works well with everyday office software. It can do data analysis, edit documents by itself, and fix code, acting as a useful “digital worker”. This change from just talking to doing things has made people want more compatible(兼容的) devices; Apple’s Mac mini, a good choice for local use, has sold out all over the world. Big tech companies like Tencent and Baidu have added one-click setup to make it easier to use, and local governments have made helpful policies to support related research and new ideas.
However, fast growth also brings big risks. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has warned that wrong setup may cause cyberattacks and data leaks. Because of this risk, some big international companies have stopped using OpenClaw at work. Also, people who use it a lot have to keep paying for expensive language model APIs.
As international media said, OpenClaw shows the quick rise of useful AI tools and can help people work much better. But to make it grow well and last long, we need a balanced way: we must mix technology innovation, Internet safety, and cost control together.
52. What can we infer from the second paragraph
A. OpenClaw will completely replace human office workers in the near future.
B. ChatGPT will soon be out of date because of the appearance of OpenClaw.
C. Local governments are the main force driving the development of OpenClaw.
D. The release of OpenClaw has had a direct influence on the sales of some compatible devices.
53. Why do some multinational corporations stop the internal use of OpenClaw
A. Because they worry about the high costs of paid language model APIs.
B. Because they think OpenClaw is not as efficient as traditional office software.
C. Because they are concerned about potential cyberattacks and data leakage risks.
D. Because they believe OpenClaw is not popular enough among their employees.
54. What is the author’s attitude towards OpenClaw
A. Strongly against it. B. Fully supportive.
C. Objective and balanced D. Uninterested and indifferent.
55. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The history of AI chatbots in China.
B. The popularity, functions, risks and future of OpenClaw.
C. How to use OpenClaw to finish office work.
D. The reasons why multinational companies stop the use of OpenClaw.
D

Dear all,
We students should improve ourselves.
Last summer, I visited the West Lake in Hangzhou. The lake is surrounded by green hills and ancient buildings. I took a boat at night and watched the lights reflect on the water. It was so peaceful that I forgot all my worries. This trip taught me to slow down and enjoy the beauty of nature around me.
For my soul journey, I read The Old Man and the Sea. The story of Santiago never giving up even when facing the biggest fish taught me that courage is not the absence of fear, but moving forward even when you are afraid.
From both the trip and the book, I learned that life is a journey for both the body and the mind. Travelling helps me see the world, while reading helps me understand myself better. I will keep moving, both in body and in soul.
Thank you!
