    The thirdgeneration hybrid rice which was developed by Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice",and his team underwent its first public yield(产量)monitoring from Monday to Tuesday and achieved high output. The final yield of the tested variety, G31S/P19, came to 1046.3 kg per mu about 667 square meters, based on two plots of land in Qingzhu Village under the city of Hengyang in central China's Hunan Province.

"Some previous highyielding hybrid rice varieties in China took 160 to even 180 days from sowing to harvesting, while the figure was shortened to around 125 days for the new variety. This is one of the most important characteristics of the thirdgeneration hybrid rice that can reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers, thus reducing cost and improving production efficiency. " said Qian Qian, the deputy director of the China National Rice Research Institute.

Unlike the previous two generations that required a large amount of water and fertilizers as well as demanding growing conditions and technological support, the thirdgeneration hybrid rice is easier to be cultivated by ordinary farmers. So the soil, altitude and climate of the test site were not "ideal conditions" carefully selected beforehand but were close to the paddies of ordinary farmers.

Nowadays, China's average yield of rice is about 500 kg per mu. Ordinary farmers can produce 600kg to 700 kg of rice per mu by growing some excellent secondgeneration hybrid rice varieties. However, under the same planting conditions and environment, the yield of the thirdgeneration hybrid rice could reach 800 kg per mu. China now feeds around 20 percent of the world's population with less than 9 percent of the world's arable(可耕种的)land.

At present, Yuan's team has nine thirdgeneration hybrid rice combinations under trial, which are expected to achieve commercial seed production in the following three to four years and hope to apply the technology into the research of sea rice. The thirdgeneration hybrid rice has the comprehensive strength to promote a greener and more sustainable development of China's rice production with higher quality and yield.

1.What feature of the new hybrid rice does Qian Qian mainly talk about

A.It saves a lot more water.

B.It achieves a higher yield.

C.It saves much more farmland.

D.It has a shorter growing period.

2.Why is the new hybrid rice not tested in ideal areas

A.The ordinary farmers master planting technology.

B.The researchers want to reduce the experiment cost.

C.The growing conditions the new hybrid rice needs are simple.

D.The previous rice farming provides researchers with experience.

3.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about

A.The high output of the thirdgeneration hybrid rice.

B.The promising future of the new hybrid rice variety.

C.The advanced technology of the research on hybrid rice.

D.The differences between the three hybrid rice varieties.

4.Which one could be the best title of the text

A.The Development of China's Rice

B.The Contribution of the Great Scientist

C.The High Yield of the New Hybrid Rice

D.The Way to Feed the World's Population

 

1.D 2.C 3.A 4.C 【解析】 本文为一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了由“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平和他的团队开发的第三代杂交水稻进行了第一次公共产量监测,并取得了高产。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段中Some previous high-yielding hybrid rice varieties in China took 160 to even 180 days from sowing(播种)to harvesting, while the figure was shortened to around 125 days for the new variety. 中国以前的一些高产杂交水稻从播种到收割需要160天至180天,而新品种缩短到了125天左右。这是第三代杂交水稻最重要的特点之一。由此可知,第三代杂交水稻的特点是种植周期短。故选D项。 2. 推理判断题。根据第三段中Unlike the previous two generations that required a large amount of water and fertilizers as well as demanding growing conditions and technological support, the third-generation hybrid rice is easier to be cultivated(种植)by ordinary farmers. So the soil, altitude and climate of the test site were not "ideal conditions" carefully selected beforehand but were close to the paddies(稻田)of ordinary farmers.与前两代需要大量水和肥料以及对生长条件和技术支持的要求不同,第三代杂交水稻更容易种植。所以试验场的土壤、海拔和气候并不是事先精心挑选的“理想条件”,而是接近普通农民的稻田。由此可推断出,第三代杂交水稻所需要的种植条件非常简单。故选C项。 3. 主旨大意题。根据第四段中Nowadays. China's average yield of rice is about 500 kg per mu. Ordinary farmers can produce 600 kg to 700 kg of rice per mu by growing some excellent second-generation hybrid rice varieties. However, under the same planting conditions and environment, the yield of the third-generation hybrid rice could reach 800 kg per mu. China now feeds around 20 percent of the world's population with less than 9 percent of the world's arable(可耕种的)land.如今。中国水稻平均亩产在500公斤左右。普通农民通过种植一些优良的二代杂交水稻品种,亩产水稻可达600公斤至700公斤。但在相同的种植条件和环境下,第三代杂交稻亩产可达800公斤。中国现在用不到世界9%的耕地养活了大约20%的世界人口。由此可知,第四段主要讲述了第三代杂交稻的高产特点。故选A项。 4. 主旨大意题。阅读全文,根据文章内容可知,本文主要讲述了由"杂交水稻之父"袁隆平及其团队开发的第三代杂交水稻在周一至周二进行了首次公开产量监测,结果显示第三代杂交水稻生长期较短且高产。C项“高产的杂交水稻新品种”为短文最佳标题。故选C项。

    Dog eyesight declines with age. Injuries and ailments can cloud their vision. Zero was a highly trained, driven alert dog. So, at competitions, when he started running into obstacles and falling off the ends of teeter-totters(跷跷板), his owner, San Francisco-area dog trainer Dianne Morey, was concerned.

As time passed, she noticed a pattern. The problems only occurred at competitions held in horse arenas, where yellow obstacles blended into the color of the sand covering the floor. Concerned about his eyesight, Morey took Zero to a vet, who diagnosed him with a genetic condition. Morey found the diagnosis “heartbreaking”. After one last competitionwhich he wonZero retired. In the time since, he’s led a life full of activities like dock diving and hiking, where poor vision is less dangerous. While there’s no cure for his disease, protective eyewear has helped keep him safe while being active.

On average, dogs develop nearsightedness or farsightedness less often than humans, says Alexandra vander Woerdt at Animal Medical Center in New York City. However, their eyesight also declines with age. Injuries and some diseases such as glaucoma(青光眼) can cloud their vision. Thinking back, Morey realizes some behaviorsfor instance, the way Zero poked his nose before entering a gatewere signs his vision was impaired.

Identifying vision issues in dogs isn’t as easy as with humans. Dogs don’t bark wrong letters on the eye chart, and they’re very good at adapting. Treatments for eye problems may include eyedrops, medications or surgery. Eyewear can also play a role in treating or preventing many issues. Many dogs don’t like eyewear at first. Zero was an exception, thanks to his training in agility and tricks, Morey says.

A.Her trained dog Zero fell off in competitions.

B.She was badly hurt by a dog in a competition.

2.What can we know from the second paragraph

A.Zero is retiring soon.

B.Zero’s disease can’t be cured.

C.Zero got the disease from his birth.

D.Zero has recovered from his poor eyesight.

3.Which of the following can replace the word “blended” in the second paragraph

A.added.

B.missed.

C.needed.

D.mixed.

4.What makes it difficult to identify dogs’ vision problems

A.They are too fierce to control.

B.They don’t like to wear eyewear.

C.They adapt to the poor sight easily.

D.They bark wrong letters on the eye chart.

    When I arrived in London I couldn't speak a word of English. Not even "hello". Nothing. I was 18, I'd been working for my dad's restaurant in Milan and I wanted a new experience. My friend from home lived in London and he used to tell me how incredible it was. I was really bored and so I took my luggage and left.

I was so lost when I arrived at Stansted. To me, English sounded like Chinese. I only arrived with a few hundred pounds. I lived with my friend in east London for a while. I couldn't find a job for a month. Finally I found a waiter role in a restaurant. At the time, I had nothing else going on in my life. I used to get up, go to work, and sleep. It was so boring.

However, at one point I had a motorcycle crash and was out for 18 months. This year I've fought in Milan and London. I'd say I'm about 12 fights away from becoming a winner.

Sometimes I can't believe how far I've come from that day I arrived in England. I think everything that's happened has been because I'm committed. But anyone could do it. If you put in 100%, you'll get there. I'm just happy because I did a positive thing with my life. It feels good.
