教材分析
主题语境： 本文隶属于“人与社会”-“科学与技术”-“农业”这一话题。 语篇类型： 本文属于记叙文（narration）,以人物介绍的形式介绍了袁隆平院士为中国乃至世界的农业和农民做出巨大贡献却淡泊名利的故事。 3、语篇研读： 【what】 （1）内容板块的活动主题是“Get to know a famous agricultural scientist”。 本文的内容由三部分组成：第一部分(para.1)是概述，介绍了袁隆平公认的“科学家”和自评的“农民”两种身份，并点明了他为农民奉献一生。第二部分(para.2-4)是文章的主体部分，讲述袁老“择业-研究-收效”，这一超级稻研发收效的过程。第三部分（para.5-6）讲述袁隆平名利双收之后仍然挂心农业、不断开拓的精神。 明线暗线 1）明线：以时间线为牵引的袁隆平“总体介绍-择业为农-潜心钻研-成果显著-奉献逐梦”的人生轨迹 2）暗线：袁隆平终生为农民和农业的奉献精神 【why】 通过描叙“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平的生平、主要贡献和梦想，激发学生学习他50多年来，不畏艰难，不懈探索，始终在农业科研第一线辛勤耕耘，为人类运用科技手段战胜饥饿带来绿色的希望和金色的收获；学习他与时俱进、勇攀高峰的创新精神，执着追求的坚强意志，严以律己、淡泊名利的高尚情操。他的卓越成就，不仅为解决中国人民的温饱和保障国家粮食安全做出了贡献，更为世界和平和社会进步树立了丰碑。 【how】 （1）文章结构 本文为一篇“总-分”结构的记叙文，“总”的部分是作者的总述,提纲挈领地讲述了袁隆平院士的“双重身份”和对农民的终身奉献；“分”的部分是袁老为农民农业奉献一生的轨迹。 （2）语言特点 为介绍袁老“一心为农”的精神，文中使用了一般过去式讲述袁老的职业选择和技术克难。使用现在完成时来表述他的研究成果和影响。使用对比和比喻的手法讲述了他的“先锋精神”和“心系天下”。且本文含有大量的介绍性语块和择业克难、收效显著、淡泊名利、持续追梦的语块，它们既是理解文章的重点，也是学生进行语言输出时的重要支架。

文章源自美国《华盛顿邮报》——深切缅怀，国之伟人 Scientist Yuan Longping, whose rice research helped feed people in many countries, dies at 91. Yuan Longping, a Chinese scientist who developed higher-yield rice varieties that helped feed people around the world, died Saturday at a hospital in the southern city of Changsha, the Xinhua News agency reported. He was 91. Yuan spent his life researching rice and was a household name in China, known by the nickname “Father of Hybrid Rice.” Worldwide, a fifth of all rice now comes from species created by hybrid rice following Yuan’s breakthrough discoveries, according to the website of the World Food Prize, which he won in 2004. On Saturday afternoon, large crowds honored the scientist by marching past the hospital in Hunan province where he died, local media reported, calling out phrases such as: “Grandpa Yuan, have a good journey!” It was in the 1970s when Yuan achieved the breakthroughs that would make him a household name. He developed a hybrid strain of rice that recorded an annual yield 20% higher than existing varieties — meaning it could feed an extra 70 million people a year, according to Xinhua. His work helped transform China from “food deficiency to food security” within three decades, according to the World Food Prize, which was created by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Norman Borlaug in 1986 to recognize scientists and others who have improved the quality and availability of food. Yuan and his team worked with dozens of countries around the world to address issues of food security as well as malnutrition. Even in his later years, Yuan did not stop doing research. In 2017, working with a Hunan agricultural school, he helped create a strain of low-cadmium indica rice for areas suffering from heavy metal pollution, reducing the amount of cadmium in rice by more than 90%.
