A Lifelong Devotion to Keeping People Fed
Yuan Longping is a Chinese agricultural scientist and educator, known for developing the hybrid rice varieties.
Yuan graduated from the Southwest Agriculture Institute in 1953 and began his teaching career at an
agriculture school.
In the 1960s, when a serious food shortage swept China, Yuan decided to devote himself to studying how to
increase the yields of rice. He then began a lifelong connection with rice.
Yuan succeeded in growing the world’s first high-yielding hybrid rice varieties in 1973, which could reach a
yield of over 500 kg per mu (about 0.067 hectares), rising from the previous yield of only 300 kg per mu. For the
next four decades, he continued to work on research and development of hybrid rice, achieving increasingly higher
outputs. In 2020, hybrid rice developed by Yuan’s team achieved 1,500 kilograms per mu in two growing seasons, a
new world record.
In China, where rice is the main food for the majority of the 1.4 billion people, the planting area of hybrid rice
has reached 16 million hectares, or 57 % of the total planting area of rice, helping feed an extra 80 million people a
year.
Hybrid rice has also been grown in over 40 countries, including the U.S., Brazil, India, Vietnam, the
Philippines and Madagascar. The total planting area of the hybrid rice has reached 8 million hectares overseas.
Even after a great success, Yuan never held himself back from making new breakthroughs. In 2017, his team
started to grow seawater rice in Qingdao. The rice was designed to grow in saline-alkaline land and survive even
after being completely in seawater. His team planned to develop a type of seawater rice that could be planted in
6.67 million hectares of saline-alkaline land across China to boost the country’s rice harvest by about 20 %. In
2018, Yuan’s team was invited to plant the saline-alkaline tolerant rice in experimental fields in Dubai, which
achieved huge success. In June 2020, his team started to grow seawater rice on a farm at an altitude of 2,800 meters
in northwest China’s Qinghai Province. The experiment succeeded.
Yuan had two dreams — to “enjoy the cool under the rice crops taller than men” and that hybrid rice could be
grown all over the world to help solve the global food shortage.
24. What made Yuan Longping decide to study rice?
A. A serious food shortage. B. Agriculture development.
C. His interest in the rice experiment. D. His wish to plant the tallest rice in the world.

A. developed a variety of hybrid rice
B. worked as a scientist after graduation
C. started to grow seawater rice in Dubai in 2017
D. grew the first high-yielding hybrid rice varieties in 1953
26. We can infer from the passage that Yuan Longping’s most outstanding qualities are________.
A. modest and outgoing B. honest and creative
C. generous and optimistic D. responsible and devoted
C
In this day and age, there seems to be a move towards secondary school subjects. For that reason, some
parents and some students feel that the compulsory study of English literature is misguided and disadvantageous to
students, particularly if they are second language learners of English. However, there are still good reasons for the
study of English literature.
Students of English language sometimes fail to see the point of studying English literature, especially if they
have no plans to study English or translation at university. But English literature can introduce students to a range
of aspects, not only of the English language but also the culture of English-speaking countries.
There are aspects of English culture that are summarised by English literature. Of course, this is quite obvious
when studying the works of Shakespeare or of writers, poets and playwrights of the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. It is, however, also true when studying other works of English literature. Students can learn about good
stories and references to different aspects of English culture. They can also learn the context and meanings of
famous quotes and phrases.
Studying literature does not confine the students to the traditions of England but includes the possibility of
introducing them to traditions which inform English literature, such as the study of Ancient Greek drama, and to
literature in other contexts, such as American literature.
An enjoyment and appreciation of literature will give students the ability to develop this into an interest in
books and reading as they move away from their studies and into the adult lives. They will have the confidence to
approach and cope with new forms of books and writing, since they were exposed to a range of literature during
their school days.
When studying literature, students can learn not only language aspects such as vocabulary items but also the
language aspects which can be used for specific purposes. For example, if the students are familiar with the
concepts of beat and rhythm of English poems, they can improve their own writing as they are able to appreciate
and apply these ideas.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Finally, the study of literature can provide students with a fresh and creative angle, from which the students
can approach their studies in particular and their lives in general.
So the next time you are reading a newspaper article complaining of the lack of creativity and initiative in the
local workforce, remember that in a small way the study of English literature can help to add a refreshing and
further dimension to a person’s life.
27. The author may agree that the study of English literature________.
A. has a long-lasting influence on students
B. is misguided and has more disadvantages
C. is not necessary for second language learners
D. only allows the students to learn the traditions of England
28. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. schools fail to care about students’ needs
B learning English literature makes students smarter
C English culture is closely related to English literature
D. the more you read literary works, the more you complain
29. What’s the author’s attitude towards the study of English literature?
A. Critical. B. Cautious. C. Supportive. D. Anxious.
30. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Parents and Students’ Demands B. Why We Learn English Literature
C. English Culture and English Literature D. Suitable Courses for Secondary Schools
D
Following the Famous Silk Roads
The Silk Roads were a network of ancient trade routes that extended from East Asia all the way to the
Mediterranean. A key section of the Silk Roads is the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor（走廊）, which stretches over a
distance of around 5,000 kilometres through China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, covering a total of 8,700
kilometres of trade routes. The three countries jointly pursued an application for UNESCO World Heritage (遗产)
status which contained detailed research on the 33 sites along the corridor. This made history as the first successful
multinational World Heritage application.
The starting point of the corridor and the entire Silk Roads network is Xi’an, in Shanxi Province. Further west
on the Silk Roads, the geography gradually changes from wild deserts to high, snow-capped mountains to vast
grasslands as the routes pass through the Tianshan Mountains and emerge in the valleys of Central Asia. Although
the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor of the Silk Roads ends here, the network continues westwards until it reaches the
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Mediterranean.
The corridor began to develop in the 2nd century. Assigned by the emperor, the ambassador Zhang Qian
journeyed from Chang’an to Central Asia, seeking to build bridges between the Han Dynasty and the Western
Regions. Following Zhang’s efforts, trade routes took shape and relationships were strengthened between the major
powers of the time, with the routes network reaching as far as the Roman Empire.
Economic activities along the routes network were not limited to trade in silk. They contributed many other
items to the marketplace of goods. The routes were busy with camels carrying loads of goods and businessmen
selling everything imaginable. China’s exports included silk, porcelain, ironware and tea, while horses, jewellery,
spices and grapes were all imported over vast distances from the West.
In addition to trade exchange, the network served as a bridge for cultural exchange which shaped the evolution
of science, art, technology and many other areas in societies along the network. Astronomy and mathematics were
introduced to China from India and Arabia; important Chinese inventions such as papermaking and printing were
brought to the West.
All of these activities contributed to a great age of expansion as trade and cultural exchanges gave people
access to new goods knowledge and ideas. These routes connected Eastern and Western civilizations, which
achieved a shared development. The addition of the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor to the UNESCO World Heritage
List is a milestone in recognition of the Silk Roads as a crucial part of humanity’s common heritage.
31. The key section of the Silk Roads is________.
A. the Mediterranean B. Xi’an, in Shanxi Province
C. Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan D. the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor
32. The underlined word “stretches” in Paragraph 1 is close in meaning to________.
A. stands B. spreads C. moves D. flies
33. Zhang Qian travelled from Chang’an to Central Asia to________.
A. export silk, porcelain, ironware and tea
B. purchase horses, jewellery, spices and grapes
C. seek help from the most powerful western countries
D. build bridges between his country and other countries
34. What was the role of the Silk Roads according to the passage?
A. It helped to change the wild deserts to grasslands.
B. It was recognized by the UNESCO as China’s heritage.
C. It speeded up the development of the countries involved.
D. It started a trade competition between countries along the way.

How to Study More Effectively
No matter whether you are preparing for some specific course, a professional degree, or an entrance exam, it’s
important to maximize study time and improve the efficiency of study.
____35____ You can use a calendar, an app, or a pinboard time table to draft a schedule that works best for
you. Include the study time, sleep, and the socializing time in the schedule. Make sure you give yourself more time
than you think you need, especially if it’s a subject you struggle with.
You can also cut your study time into short sessions. Your most productive studying typically occurs within
the first 25 to 30 minutes of hitting books, so try to study in 30 minutes, and take a 5—10 minute break, so that you
are able to absorb and consolidate the information. ____36____
Studying isn’t only spending hours and hours on list of what you think will be on an exam or quiz.
____37____ This can be done through a six-step approach: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing,
evaluating and creating. You should focus on a method that will help you achieve a higher level of learning. The
higher levels of learning focus on asking questions such as what if, how and why rather than where, what and who.
____38____ Research shows that being tested is not only useful in evaluating how well you have learned
something but also valuable for avoiding future mistakes. Answering questions unsuccessfully can help you
understand concepts better. If your professor offers you practice exams, take them home and learn from them.
Understand why you got certain questions wrong and others right. ____39____ Force each other to expand answers
in order to understand the material better.
Following the suggestions to study more effectively will mean shorter and more efficient study sessions, and
eventually, better grades!
A. You can quiz yourself whenever possible.
B. Effective studying starts with the right attitude.
C. It is important to study in a smart way and go the extra mile.
D. Study with friends or classmates and question each other on the material.
E. You are more likely to do well before a quiz when you have time to review.
F. Creating a schedule is the first and most important thing to maximize your study time.
G. This is why a certain balance should be made and studying time should be cut into shorter sessions.

Can Neutrality Really Be Achieved?
With the European Climate Law, the EU will achieve carbon neutrality (碳中和) by 2050. What would that
mean in practice?
Climate change is already affecting the entire world, with extreme weather conditions such as drought, heat
waves, heavy rain, floods and landslides becoming more frequent. Other consequences of the rapidly changing
climate include rising sea levels, ocean acidification and loss of biodiversity.
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂) increase average temperatures worldwide, which in turn
contribute to rising sea levels, changing weather patterns and other factors associated with climate change. In order
to limit global warming, carbon neutrality is very important.
Being “carbon neutral” means that you emit the same amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that you
offset (抵消) by some other means. Achieving carbon neutrality means that your carbon dioxide output has no
impact on the environment. But unless you rely entirely on renewable energy, your carbon footprint most likely
isn’t zero.
Will your efforts make a difference?
Everything you do that produces carbon dioxide—from driving to powering your home and more—makes up
your carbon footprint. Adding solar panels to your home, or switching to an electric vehicle are examples of things
you can do to reduce your carbon dioxide output. You can turn down the heat. You can find tools to calculate your
carbon footprint. You can also take steps to either directly reduce or indirectly offset the carbon dioxide you send
back into the environment. Switching to renewable energy sources like wind, solar heating directly reduces your
carbon footprint; so does biking or walking instead of driving.
Individuals and businesses can also invest in carbon offsets, which contribute to projects that reduce global
carbon emissions. Some examples of carbon offset projects include planting trees, wetlands restoration and
farmland management.
“We are all part of the solution,” wrote U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. “Whether you are an individual,
a business, an organization or a government, there are many steps you can take to reduce carbon dioxide. It is a
message we must all take to heart.”
40. What increase average temperatures worldwide?
________________
41. Please paraphrase the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph in your own words.

42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
