Question

【題目】

Thanks to the hybrid rice that was discovered by Yuan Longping， the hunger problem of thousands of Chinese people was mostly fixed in the 1980s．

On Sept 8th，Yuan， together with two other scientists，won China's 2018 Future Science Prize， for his continuous research on rice． Even on his 88th birthday on Sept 7th，he took part in the International Development Forum of Rice Production in Hunan province． Although he was recovering from an illness at the time， he was happy to talk to reporters about his latest work on seawater rice．

Yuan has been researching on rice since he was at college． In 1964． he discovered a natural hybrid rice plant in Hainan． Since then， he has focused on developing high﹣yield， hybrid rice varieties（多樣性）．In 1973． he became the first to successfully cultivate（培育） a type of hybrid rice species in the world．With the hard work of Yuan's group for about ten years， the production of the rice was increased．（From 150 kg per mu （畝） to 500 kg per mu and more． ）These varieties now take up about two thirds of China's rice crop， according to China News． So， it's no wonder that he's known as the "Father of Hybrid Rice"．

And because of China's Belt and Road （一帶一路）initiative． Yuan's hybrid rice is helping to solve food problems around the world． Indeed， according to Xinhua News Agency， hybrid rice plants in Kenya produce four to five times more rice than the country's usual nice plants．

With a rising fame all over the world， Yuan gave a speech in English at the 9th Shandong High﹣Level Talents Forum in Qingdao last year． His speech made him an internet sensation．Beginning with"I speak broken English"， his 20﹣minute speech turned out to be a huge success，with barely any pauses or mistakes． The humble Yuan was simply being modest during his speech．According to an article in 1999 by CNN， the scientist speaks both English and Russian fluently． "I never need an interpreter when I go overseas，" he told the US news network．

But in spite of his great knowledge， Yuan understands that even the wisest people should still be open to learn new things． "The farmers of our country possess rich experience in planting rice，"he told Xinhua．" We should learn from them．"

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【4】D

【解析】

短文大意：本文講述了中國雜交水稻之父袁隆平的水稻研究歷程和卓越貢獻(xiàn)。

【1】B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．題干句意：水稻生產(chǎn)國際發(fā)展論壇在哪里舉辦？根據(jù)文中"Even on his 88th birthday on Sep7th，he took part in the International Development Forum of Rice Production in Hunan province"甚至在9月7日他的88歲生日之時，他還參加了在湖南省舉辦的水稻生產(chǎn)國際發(fā)展論壇，可知選B。

【2】C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．題干句意：袁隆平被人稱作"雜交水稻之父"的主要原因是哪個？根據(jù)文中"With the hard work of Yuan's group for about ten years, the production of the rice was creased"和"These varieties now take up about two thirds of China's rice crop. according to China News"和"So, it's no wonder that he's known as the 'Father of Hybrid Rice'"可知，袁隆平團隊經(jīng)過大約十年的艱苦工作，這種水稻的產(chǎn)量增加了．根據(jù)《中國新聞》報道，這些品種約占中國水稻作物的三分之二．因此袁隆平被稱為"雜交水稻之父"毫不奇怪。Because of Yuan's group, the production of the rice was increased符合題意，故選C。

【3】D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．題干句意：袁隆平不會說下列語言中的哪一種？根據(jù)文中"According to an article in 1999 by CNN, the scientist speaks both English and Russian fluently"可知袁隆平會說流利的英語和俄語，再加上母語漢語，他會說英、俄、漢三門語言，因此他不會法語，故選D。

【4】D．主旨理解題．題干句意：本文主要是關(guān)于_____．根據(jù)文中"Thanks to the hybrid rice that was discovered by Yuan Longping. the hunger problem of thousands of Chinese people was mostly fixed in the 1980s"由于袁隆平發(fā)現(xiàn)的雜交水稻，中國人民的吃飯（饑餓）問題在1980年代基本解決了，結(jié)合短文內(nèi)容可知本文介紹的是袁隆平及其貢獻(xiàn)．故選D。

前三題均是細(xì)節(jié)題，仔細(xì)找好問題，準(zhǔn)確定位，即可答對，難度不大。第四題是主旨題，根據(jù)文章第一段的總括，即可選出正確答案。
