　　On May 22, 2021, people in China and around the world felt sad. China’s “father of hybrid rice(杂交水稻之父)” Yuan Longping died at 91 on this day.
Yuan spent his life researching hybrid rice, which ended hunger for millions of people not only in China, but around the world. Hybrid rice is grown in 57 percent of China’s rice fields. It feeds an extra 80 million people a year. It is also grown in over 40 countries, including India, the US and Brazil, etc.
Yuan grew up in a time of war and famine(饥荒). How to get enough to eat was a serious problem in China at that time. After he finished high school, he decided to study agriculture(农业).After seeing many people die of hunger during a serious famine that lasted from 1959 to 1961, he decided to study hybrid rice.
In 1973, he succeeded in growing the world’s first high-yield(高产的) hybrid rice. It could reach a yield of over 500 kg per mu, higher than the 300-kg yields from normal rice.
In 2021, he was awarded the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest state honor.In 2021, hybrid rice achieved 1,500 kilograms per mu in two growing seasons, setting a new world record. His team also started to research growing seawater rice in 2016. Their experiment succeeded in 2017.

答案 16-20
Ⅴ.词语运用
　　阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词(有提示词的,填入所给单词的正确形式)。
There was a big seabird that was very beautiful. One day, the seabird 21.　　　　 (fly) to a country and stayed outside of a palace. The emperor asked his men to bring it to the palace. Then he said, “As a warm welcome for the seabird, we’ll form a band and get the best food and wine ready 22.　　　　 it.”
　　So they played the 23.　　　　(good) music for the seabird, but it 24.　　　　(look) bored. The emperor introduced the most delicious food and best wine and asked the bird to have them. 25.　　　　 the seabird refused. After three days 26.　　　　(with) eating or drinking, the seabird died.
　　The emperor said 27.　　　　(sad), “Why didn’t you eat I gave you all of the best!”
　　The story tells us that what some people believe 28.　　　　(be) the best music and the best food aren’t so for everyone. Feed a bird according 29.　　　　 a bird’s wants, not a 30.　　　　(person). The saying “Do to others as you would have others do to you.” is never really suitable or right.
