Read para 4 Find out the numbers and think about the question
60:
200:
Why does the author list numbers here ( )
A.To encourage people to plant Yuan’s hybrid rice
B.To emphasize( 强调）Yuan’s outstanding contributions.
C.To show Yuan’s innovative quality.
D.To make a comparison between China and other countries.
Answer: 60: 60% of domestic rice consumption
200: produce around 200 million tons of rice per year
B
B. Comparative Writing Exercise
Compare the effects of the following two expressions:
Original: “60% of domestic rice consumption”
Rewritten:“Most Chinese people eat hybrid rice”
Answer:
The original expression uses precise numbers, which is objective and rigorous and highlights the popularity of the technology. The rewritten version is easier to understand but lacks the authority of data, reducing the strength of the argument. It would reduce the persuasiveness of the article. Vague expressions lack the support of specific data, making Yuan Longping's contributions seem abstract and general, and preventing readers from intuitively understanding the actual effects of the technology.
C. Critical Thinking
Does the author’s focus on Chinese data in paragraph 4 affect the comprehensiveness of the argument Why or why not
Answer:
It may have an impact. Adding data from other countries around the world, such as cases of increased production in Vietnam and India, could more comprehensively demonstrate the international contributions of Yuan Longping’s technology. However, the current numbers are sufficient to highlight his core role in China.

If we stopped using all controversial technologies (e.g., GM, pesticides), would global hunger get worse Why
Design Intention: Encourage students to consider consequences of technological stagnation. Link to Yuan Longping’s legacy, emphasizing innovation’s role in solving real-world problems.
B. Yuan Longping’s hybrid rice technology has helped solve global food shortages, but some people worry that genetically modified (GM) technology might disrupt ecological balance. How do you view the use of controversial technologies to address human survival issues Analyze this by following these two steps:
1. Identify the Controversial Points (e.g., GM crops may harm biodiversity)
2. Provide a real-life analogy (e.g., pesticides, vaccines) and explain how to balance benefits and risks
Answer:
Step 1: Identify the Controversial Points
Analysis of GM Technology:
Benefits:
GM crops like hybrid rice increase yields by 30% through pest resistance (as seen in Yuan's research).
Risks: 1. GM genes might spread to wild plants via pollen, creating “superweeds” that resist herbicides.
2. Monoculture of GM crops reduces biodiversity by replacing traditional crop varieties.
Step 2: Real-Life Analogy and Balance
Case 1: Pesticide Use
Controversial Points:
Benefit: Protects crops (e.g., pesticides boost rice yields by 30%).
Risk: Pollutes soil/water and creates pesticide-resistant pests.
Balancing Strategies:
Promote biological pest control (e.g., ladybugs to eat aphids).
Governments set safety standards and train farmers in proper use.
Case 2: Vaccine Development
Controversial Points:
Benefit: Prevents diseases (e.g., COVID-19 vaccines reduce severe illness rates).
Risk: Rare allergic reactions and unknown long-term side effects.
Balancing Strategies:
Require rigorous clinical trials and post-market monitoring.
Educate the public to counter misinformation (e.g., “vaccines cause autism” myths).

B. Themed Writing
Task: Write a 100-word paragraph introducing Yuan Longping’s contributions using at least 5 of the following words:
hybrid rice, boost yields, technical difficulties, donations, envisioned, salty land.
Answer 1
Yuan Longping, the “father of hybrid rice,” revolutionized global agriculture by developing high-yield hybrid rice in 1974. Despite enormous technical difficulties, he persisted and created crops that boost yields dramatically, feeding millions. His hybrid rice now accounts for 60% of China’s rice production, ensuring food security. Beyond this, he envisioned innovative solutions like “seawater rice,” enabling cultivation in salty land. Though his work made him wealthy, he prioritized donations to agricultural research, embodying selflessness. Yuan’s legacy lies in blending scientific brilliance with a farmer’s heart, proving that one person’s vision can nourish the world.
Answer 2
Yuan Longping’s greatest achievement was inventing hybrid rice, a breakthrough that overcame technical difficulties to solve food shortages. By focusing on boosting yields instead of expanding farmland, he transformed rice production, helping China produce 200 million tons annually. His foresight extended to envisioning “seawater rice,” which thrives in salty land, unlocking barren areas for farming. Despite fame, he remained humble, channeling wealth into donations for agricultural innovation. Yuan’s life teaches us that science, paired with compassion, can address humanity’s toughest challenges. His dreams continue to inspire efforts to feed a growing global population sustainably.
