科学家在每个人的心目中都具有崇高的地位。古往今来,无数科学家的故事都激励着一代又一代人。你最敬佩的科学家是哪一位呢?下面就让我们一起了解一下中国著名科学家——袁隆平!
Yuan Longping, a Chinese agriculturalist, was born in 1930.Professor Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953 and has devoted himself to agricultural education and research since then. He is currently(目前;当前) an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Honorary(名誉) President of the Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Professor Yuan is a pioneer in hybrid rice research and has made remarkable achievements in this area. He first developed hybrid rice in the world. It is regarded as the fifth invention after China’s Four Major Inventions, and is acclaimed(称赞) as the Second
Green Revolution. The achievements of Yuan Longping greatly solved the food shortage and provided a solution to the worldwide starvation. He was awarded with many international awards, such as Gold Medal Award for the Outstanding Inventor of the United Nations World Intellectual Property Organization, etc.
As far as I’m concerned, agriculture is very important for a country and food supply is also important for people. We can’t imagine what the world will be like if we lose agriculture and food supply. But thanks to some great agriculturalists, many problems about agriculture and food supply are solved. And in this module we’ll learn about a famous agriculturalist—Yuan Longping.

The Student Who Asked Questions
In a hungry world rice is a staple① food and China is the world’s largest producer②. Rice is also grown③ in many other Asian countries,and in some European countries like Italy. In the rice-growing world, the Chinese scientist, Yuan Longping,is a leading figure④.
Yuan Longping was born and brought up⑤ in China. As a boy he was educated⑥ in many schools and was given the nickname⑦, “the student who asks questions”.
◆as a boy中as是介词,as a boy相当于时间状语从句when he was a boy。
◆who asks questions是who引导的限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the student。
From an early age he was interested in⑧ plants.He studied agriculture⑨ in college and as a young teacher he began experiments in⑩ crop breeding?.He thought that the key to? feeding people was to have more rice and to produce it more quickly.He thought there was only one way to do? this—by crossing? different species? of rice plant, and then he could produce a new plant which could give a higher yield? than either of the original? plants.
First Yuan Longping experimented with? different types of rice.The results of his experiments were published? in China in 1966.Then he began his search? for a special type of rice plant.It had to be male.It had to be sterile.Finally, in 1970 a naturally sterile male rice plant was discovered.This was the breakthrough.Researchers were brought in from all over China to develop the new system.The research was supported by the government.
As a result of Yuan Longping’s discoveries Chinese rice production rose by 47.5 percent in the 1990’s.There were other advantages too.50 thousand square kilometres of rice fields were converted to growing vegetables and other cash crops.Following this, Yuan Longping’s rice was exported to other countries, such as Pakistan and the Philippines.
◆Following this中,Following可视为介词,表示“在……以后;由于”。
In Pakistan rice is the second most importantB34 crop after wheat and will be grown in many parts of the country.The new hybrid rice has been developed by the Yuan Longping High-tech Agricultural Company of China.Its yield is much greater than the yield of other types of rice grown in Pakistan.
◆过去分词短语grown in Pakistan作后置定语,修饰other types of rice。注意句中还运用了much修饰greater。
问问题的学生
在全球粮食短缺的情况下,水稻是主要粮食,而中国是世界上最大的水稻产地。亚洲其他许多国家和一些欧洲国家比如意大利等也种植水稻。在水稻种植领域,中国科学家袁隆平是一位杰出人士。
袁隆平在中国出生并长大。小时候,他在许多学校读过书,得了个“问问题的学生”的绰号。
袁隆平从小就对植物感兴趣。他在大学里研究农业,作为一名年轻的教师,他开始了作物育种方面的实验。他认为,解决人们吃饭问题的关键在于拥有更多的大米,并且能更快地生产出来。他认为,唯一的办法是使不同品种的水稻杂交,这样就能培育出比原先任何一种水稻产量都要高的新品种。
首先,袁隆平对不同品种的水稻进行了实验。1966年,他的实验结果在中国发表了。接着,他开始寻找一种特殊的稻种。这种稻种必须是雄性且不结果的。终于在1970年,一种天然的雄性不育稻种被发现。这是一个突破。中国各地的研究者们被召集在一起开发新的水稻品种。这项研究得到了政府的支持。
由于袁隆平的发现,中国的水稻产量在20世纪90年代增长了47.5%。这一发现还带来了其他的好处。5万平方千米的稻田被改为种植蔬菜和其他经济作物。在这之后,袁隆平研制的水稻还出口到巴基斯坦和菲律宾等其他国家。
在巴基斯坦,水稻是继小麦之后第二重要的作物并将在这个国家的许多地方种植。中国袁隆平高科技农业公司已培育出新的杂交水稻。这种杂交水稻的产量远高于巴基斯坦其他种类水稻的产量。

George Washington Carver was born some time in the early-mid 1860s. As a sickly child, Carver was unable to work in the fields, so he did gardening.He was left with many free hours to walk in the woods—beginning his career with nature.He soon became known as the “Plant Doctor” and would help friends and neighbors manage sick plants.
In 1890, Carver began to study music and art at Simpson College.His artwork was on show at the 1893 World’s Fair.Painting gave him the chance to combine his two loves—art and nature.Yet it was his talents(天赋) for gardening that took him in another direction in 1891.Carver became the first African-American to attend what is today Iowa State University.He proved to be a first-class student and upon graduation he became the school’s first African-American teacher.
In 1896, he received an invitation from Tuskegee Normal and Industrial School in Tuskegee, Alabama.Upon arriving, he found that the school was short of money so Dr. Carver had to equip his own lab.He and his students would search trash heaps(垃圾堆) for things to use.This proved that Dr.Carver was well ahead of his time.
In 1916, he published a research report on peanuts, which helped many farmers turn to peanuts as a cash crop and saved the economy(经济) of the South when it was destroyed by the cotton insects’ attack.Carver continued his research with the peanut.He went on to find many uses for the peanut.But he didn’t invent peanut butter(花生酱).
Dr.Carver’s research earned him much worldwide praise.Dr.George Washington Carver died on January 5, 1943, and was buried at Tuskegee.Carver contributed his whole life savings to Tuskegee.Upon his death, Franklin D. Roosevelt gave him the title “an inspiring example to youth everywhere”.

Some years ago, a 28-year-old Californian wife and mother of three children died from drinking too much water. Her body was found in her home shortly after she took part in a water-drinking contest that was held by a local radio show. Called“Hold Your Wee For A Wii”, the contest organizers promised a free Wii video game machine to those who drank the most water without going to the bathroom. The woman who died drank about 2 gallons of water during the contest. When she and other participants complained of discomfort and showed signs of pains, they were laughed at by the organizers.
This tragic news story shows the importance of understanding why drinking too much water can be dangerous to your health.
Consuming more water than you need can increase your total blood volume(容量). And since your blood volume exists within a closed system, increasing your blood volume puts unnecessary stress on your heart and blood vessels(血管). Your kidneys(肾) must work overtime to get rid of extra water out of your system. Your kidneys are not a pair of pipes. Flushing more water through your kidneys doesn’t necessarily help it become cleaner. Rather, your kidneys can get damaged by unnecessary wear and tear over time. And drowning your system with large amounts of water is one of many potential causes of kidney damage.
Putting unnecessary stress on your system and your kidneys by consuming unnecessary water is an unnoticeable process. For the average person, it is usually impossible to know that this stress exists, as there are usually no obvious symptoms on a moment-to-moment basis. But make no mistake about it: this stress is real and can hurt your health over the long term.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。过量饮水对我们的健康危害很大,我们应该避免过量饮水。

D.To tell us how much water we can drink at most one time.
A 解析:推理判断题。本文主要是讲过量饮水对身体有害,而提到那位死去的加州女士的故事是为了引出这个话题。
5.When the participants showed signs of pains, the organizers ________.
A.became very concerned
B.were laughed at by others
C.tried to reduce their pains
D.didn’t pay much attention to them
D 解析:推理判断题。由第一段中的“When she and other participants complained of... laughed at by the organizers.”可知,那些组织者并没怎么在意他们。
6.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.How water is consumed in our body.
B.The importance of water to our health.
C.Why drinking too much water is dangerous.
D.The fun_ction of kidneys in consuming water.

Most of us know about the Nobel Prize, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, but few of us know anything about the man who set them up. His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives. His companies even made and sold weapons. Isn’t this something that surprises you? The man who made money from weapons should set up the Peace Prize?
Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world. He was one of the richest in Europe. When he died in 1896, he let behind him a lot of money and his famous will. According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund. He wanted the interest from the fund to be used as prizes every year. We know them as the Nobel Prizes. The Nobel Prizes are international. Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from.
Alfred Nobel had given his whole life to his studies and work and to the benefits of mankind. He made money all by his own efforts, but he let the world share his wealth. His inventions and wealth stay with the world for ever.

It’s the time of year when kids are thinking about their holiday wish lists. So what’s a parent to do when a child asks for a smartphone?
Sydney Crowe is in sixth grade and has a smartphone.While she admits she mostly uses it for “playing games and watching television”, her mom, Patty, says that’s not why Sydney got the phone.
Patty’s main concern was safety. The bus missed Sydney’s stop enough times to really worry her parents. Without means to call an adult, she would walk to school near a busy highway.
That’s when Patty gave her daughter a phone. Patty says she rolled her eyes at the idea of her child having a smartphone, but finally decided to allow it for one main reason: peace of mind.
On the other side of the argument, there’s Mercy Shannon. She’s 9 years old and doesn’t have a cellphone.
Mercy’s mom, Brooke Shannon, like many other parents, faced the cellphone decision early on. She started an online promise called“Wait Until 8th”to create a community of parents waiting to give their kids smartphones until at least eighth grade—when most children are nearing high school.
In addition to wanting her kids to have a break from screens, Brooke worries about the influence of social media(媒体).
“Children just don’t have the brain development at this age to be able to deal with the social situations that come with social media,” she says.
That isn’t just a parent concern. Richard Freed, a child psychologist(心理学家) and author of a book on the subject, wanted to research the topic after seeing an increase in the number of children coming to him with anxiety and depression.
His suggestion? Put some ground rules in place.“I want parents to understand how powerful these technologies are,” he says.
There’s no magic age to give a kid a smartphone. Rather than considering the age of a child, we should think about maturity(成熟).
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。随着科技发展,越来越多的人开始使用智能手机。如果一个正在上小学的孩子想要拥有一部智能手机,父母该不该给呢?
5.What does Sydney mainly use her smartphone for?
A.Studies.
B.Entertainment.
C.Calling for help.
D.Communicating with her family.
B 解析:细节理解题。由第二段中的“While she admits she mostly uses it for ‘playing games and watching television’”可知,Sydney主要用她的智能手机玩游戏和看电视,即娱乐。
6.According to Brooke, children can have smartphones when they are ________.
A.8 years old B.9 years old
C.in 8th grade D.in high school
C 解析:细节理解题。由第六段中的“She started an online... until at least eighth grade”可知,Brooke认为应该至少等到孩子上八年级,才可以给他们智能手机。
7.What led to Richard Freed’s research on children having smartphones?
A.His interest in the topic.
B.The need of writing a book on the subject.
C.His wish to warn parents of the power of modern technologies.
D.The fact that more children are having psychological problems.
D 解析:细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的“wanted to research the topic... with anxiety and depression”可知,Richard Freed看到越来越多的孩子们因为焦虑、抑郁等问题向他求助,之后萌生了研究这个课题的想法。
8.What does the author think parents should consider before giving children smartphones?
A.Their age.
B.Their safety.
C.Their holiday wish.
D.Their brain development.
D 解析:细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Rather than considering the age of a child, we should think about maturity(成熟).”可知,作者认为决定要不要给孩子智能手机时,不应该考虑他们的年龄,而应该看他们是否成熟,即大脑发育完善与否。

Patty’s main concern was safety. The bus missed Sydney’s stop enough times to really worry her parents. Without means to call an adult, she would walk to school near a busy highway.
That’s when Patty gave her daughter a phone. Patty says she rolled her eyes at the idea of her child having a smartphone, but finally decided to allow it for one main reason: peace of mind.
On the other side of the argument, there’s Mercy Shannon. She’s 9 years old and doesn’t have a cellphone.
Mercy’s mom, Brooke Shannon, like many other parents, faced the cellphone decision early on. She started an online promise called“Wait Until 8th”to create a community of parents waiting to give their kids smartphones until at least eighth grade—when most children are nearing high school.
In addition to wanting her kids to have a break from screens, Brooke worries about the influence of social media(媒体).
“Children just don’t have the brain development at this age to be able to deal with the social situations that come with social media,” she says.
That isn’t just a parent concern. Richard Freed, a child psychologist(心理学家) and author of a book on the subject, wanted to research the topic after seeing an increase in the number of children coming to him with anxiety and depression.
His suggestion? Put some ground rules in place.“I want parents to understand how powerful these technologies are,” he says.
There’s no magic age to give a kid a smartphone. Rather than considering the age of a child, we should think about maturity(成熟).
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。随着科技发展,越来越多的人开始使用智能手机。如果一个正在上小学的孩子想要拥有一部智能手机,父母该不该给呢?
5.What does Sydney mainly use her smartphone for?
A.Studies.
B.Entertainment.
C.Calling for help.
D.Communicating with her family.
B 解析:细节理解题。由第二段中的“While she admits she mostly uses it for ‘playing games and watching television’”可知,Sydney主要用她的智能手机玩游戏和看电视,即娱乐。
6.According to Brooke, children can have smartphones when they are ________.
A.8 years old B.9 years old
C.in 8th grade D.in high school
C 解析:细节理解题。由第六段中的“She started an online... until at least eighth grade”可知,Brooke认为应该至少等到孩子上八年级,才可以给他们智能手机。
7.What led to Richard Freed’s research on children having smartphones?
A.His interest in the topic.
B.The need of writing a book on the subject.
C.His wish to warn parents of the power of modern technologies.
D.The fact that more children are having psychological problems.
D 解析:细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的“wanted to research the topic... with anxiety and depression”可知,Richard Freed看到越来越多的孩子们因为焦虑、抑郁等问题向他求助,之后萌生了研究这个课题的想法。
8.What does the author think parents should consider before giving children smartphones?
A.Their age.
B.Their safety.
C.Their holiday wish.
D.Their brain development.
D 解析:细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Rather than considering the age of a child, we should think about maturity(成熟).”可知,作者认为决定要不要给孩子智能手机时,不应该考虑他们的年龄,而应该看他们是否成熟,即大脑发育完善与否。

火箭
今天,火箭是我们用来将宇航员送入太空的非常先进的机器。它们也被用在庆祝重大事件的焰火表演中,像奥运会的闭幕式或2000年新千年的开始。
火箭可能是大约两千年前被偶然发明出来的。中国人有一种装在竹管里的火药,这种火药是节日中被用来扔进火里爆炸的。也许一些竹管从火堆里蹿了出来,而不是在里面炸开。中国人发现从竹管里释放出来的气体可以使其飞向空中。于是关于火箭的想法诞生了。
火箭第一次被用于军事是在1232年。那时宋朝正与蒙古作战。在开封战役中,宋军射出了“飞火箭”。这些竹管被绑到一根长棍上,这根长棍可帮助火箭沿笔直的方向飞行。不久,蒙古人学会了怎样自己制造火箭,并且可能是他们将其引入欧洲的。在13世纪到15世纪期间,在英国、法国和意大利有很多关于火箭的实验。它们被用于军事目的。一位意大利科学家甚至发明了一种可以飞过水面打中敌舰的火箭。
但并不是每个人都想将火箭用于战争。一个名叫万户的中国官员发明了一种“飞椅”。他把两个大风筝绑到椅子上,又把47个火箭绑到风筝上。火箭被点燃了,发生了巨大的爆炸,出现了厚厚的浓烟。当烟雾消散后,万户和他的椅子已无影无踪了。没有人知道发生了什么。万户被炸死了?还是他被载入了数英里远的太空而成为世界上第一个宇航员了呢?

In France, there once lived a man named Louis Pasteur, who was a doctor of science. The thing that concerned him most was the disease rabies(狂犬病).
“I must find the rabies germs(细菌) that hide inside people and make them so sick that they die,”he thought.“Once I find them, I’ll think of a way to kill them.”
Many people thought Pasteur was wasting his time. Some laughed at him and said,“You’ll never do it.”
Pasteur didn’t care what people thought; he believed in himself. He kept right on working.
At the same time, in Germany, a boy named Joey was about to get into trouble. He was teasing(逗弄) a dog. But this dog was sick with rabies, which made the dog mad. Unfortunately, the dog bit him. The rabies germs were passed from the dog to Joey.
Soon the little boy was very sick. His parents could only wait. But then there was news. Joey’s mother saw it and shouted for joy.“A doctor of science has found a way to save sick people like Joey!”she said. The man, of course, was Louis Pasteur. Joey’s parents quickly prepared Joey for the long journey to Paris.
“Dr. Pasteur,”said the mother.“Our little boy is very sick. Can you help us?”
“Perhaps,”said Pasteur.“I’ve invented a vaccine(疫苗). It is strong enough to kill the rabies germs. Joey will be the first person to have my rabies vaccine.”
“The first person?”asked Joey’s worried father nervously.“Will it be dangerous? Are you sure it will work?”
“I believe it will,”said Pasteur.
Slowly the vaccine killed more and more of the rabies germs. Joey began to get well. Dr. Pasteur’s vaccine was a success!
From then on no one had to be afraid of rabies anymore, and people who had laughed at him before, respected him. He is recognized as one of the world’s greatest scientists.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了研制出狂犬病疫苗的著名法国科学家——Pasteur。
1.What was people’s first reaction toward Pasteur’s thoughts on killing rabies germs?

3.Which of the following words can best describe Pasteur?
A.Confident and strong-minded.
B.Careful and simple-minded.
C.Selfless and humorous.
D.Proud and imaginative.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段内容及倒数第二段中的“Dr. Pasteur’s vaccine was a success!”可知,Pasteur并没有在意世俗的看法,他非常自信。在他的坚持努力下他终于成功研制出了狂犬病疫苗。
4.What does the text mainly talk about?

In France, there once lived a man named Louis Pasteur, who was a doctor of science. The thing that concerned him most was the disease rabies(狂犬病).
“I must find the rabies germs(细菌) that hide inside people and make them so sick that they die,”he thought.“Once I find them, I’ll think of a way to kill them.”
Many people thought Pasteur was wasting his time. Some laughed at him and said,“You’ll never do it.”
Pasteur didn’t care what people thought; he believed in himself. He kept right on working.
At the same time, in Germany, a boy named Joey was about to get into trouble. He was teasing(逗弄) a dog. But this dog was sick with rabies, which made the dog mad. Unfortunately, the dog bit him. The rabies germs were passed from the dog to Joey.
Soon the little boy was very sick. His parents could only wait. But then there was news. Joey’s mother saw it and shouted for joy.“A doctor of science has found a way to save sick people like Joey!”she said. The man, of course, was Louis Pasteur. Joey’s parents quickly prepared Joey for the long journey to Paris.
“Dr. Pasteur,”said the mother.“Our little boy is very sick. Can you help us?”
“Perhaps,”said Pasteur.“I’ve invented a vaccine(疫苗). It is strong enough to kill the rabies germs. Joey will be the first person to have my rabies vaccine.”
“The first person?”asked Joey’s worried father nervously.“Will it be dangerous? Are you sure it will work?”
“I believe it will,”said Pasteur.
Slowly the vaccine killed more and more of the rabies germs. Joey began to get well. Dr. Pasteur’s vaccine was a success!
From then on no one had to be afraid of rabies anymore, and people who had laughed at him before, respected him. He is recognized as one of the world’s greatest scientists.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了研制出狂犬病疫苗的著名法国科学家——Pasteur。
1.What was people’s first reaction toward Pasteur’s thoughts on killing rabies germs?
A.Hopeful. B.Cheerful.
C.Doubtful. D.Uncaring.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的内容可知,大家对Pasteur想要消灭狂犬病病毒的事深表怀疑,都认为他做不到。
2.What happened to Joey?
A.He fought with a dog.
B.He drove a mad dog away.
C.He killed the rabies germs.
D.He got rabies unexpectedly.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第五段中的“He was teasing(逗弄) a dog. But this dog was sick with rabies... from the dog to Joey.”可知,Joey被患有狂犬病的狗咬了,所以他也患上了狂犬病。
3.Which of the following words can best describe Pasteur?
A.Confident and strong-minded.
B.Careful and simple-minded.
C.Selfless and humorous.
D.Proud and imaginative.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段内容及倒数第二段中的“Dr. Pasteur’s vaccine was a success!”可知,Pasteur并没有在意世俗的看法,他非常自信。在他的坚持努力下他终于成功研制出了狂犬病疫苗。
4.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.The amazing story of Joey.
B.Pasteur’s deep interest in science.
C.The first known person to survive rabies.
D.Pasteur’s success in finding a treatment for rabies.
D 解析:主旨大意题。根据文中对Pasteur下定决心研制狂犬病疫苗并最终取得成功的故事可知,该文的主旨就是介绍Pasteur在发明狂犬病疫苗方面取得的成就。

Louis Pasteur was born in Dole, France on December 27, 1822. His family was poor, and during his early education Pasteur was an ordinary student who enjoyed art and singing. However, when Pasteur was exposed to science as a teenager, he knew he had found his career.
In 1838, Pasteur went to college to become a science teacher. He then became a chemistry professor at the University of Strasbourg. He got married in 1849 and had five children. However, three died young from typhoid fever(伤寒症). It was the deaths of his children that drove Pasteur to investigate the infectious disease in order to find a cure.
During Pasteur’s time, people believed that bacteria(细菌) appeared due to“spontaneous generation(自然发生)”. They thought that the bacteria just appeared out of nowhere. Pasteur carried out experiments to see if this was true. Through his experiments he proved that germs were living things that came from other living things. They didn’t just spontaneously appear. This was a major discovery in the study of biology and earned Pasteur the title of “Father of Germ Theory”.
As Pasteur learned more about bacteria, he began to think they may be the cause of diseases in humans. When the French silk market was threatened by a disease to silkworms(蚕), Pasteur decided to investigate. He discovered that this disease was caused by germs. By killing them from the silkworm farms, he was able to cease the disease and save the French silk business.
Today Louis Pasteur is known as one of the most important scientists in history. His discoveries led to an understanding of bacteria and diseases that has helped save millions and millions of lives.

概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Works of literature can be written in a wide variety of forms.These different types or sorts of writing are known as genre(类型).We can classify literary works by what they have in common—their styles or what they are about,for example.On a simple level,organizing works of literature into genres helps us understand the variety of literary works.
Prose writing can be divided into two main types: fiction and non-fiction.Fiction includes stories that are made up by the author.They are not true in a factual sense but they may be based on scientific,historical or geographic facts.Within the broad area of fiction,we can distinguish two main types: realistic fiction and historical fiction.
Realistic fiction includes stories that are set in the contemporary world and are about people and events that could happen.Most best-sellers are of this style.Realistic fiction itself has many subdivisions(划分) such as crime fiction,adventure stories and romantic stories.Stories set in the past and based on historical facts are historical fiction.Some of the characters in the stories are imaginary,while others may be real people from the past.Much of this type of fiction centers on wars or political events.
Non-fiction books are based on facts and include genres such as biography,history,popular science and reference works such as dictionaries.
