Ruth Bader Ginsburg spent a lifetime flourishing(茁壮成长) in the face of misfortunes before being appointed a Supreme Court justice.She was born on March 15,1933 in Brooklyn,New York.Ginsburg’s mother implanted a love of education in Ginsburg through her devotion to her brother.She graduated first in her class at Columbia Law in 1959.
Even her exceptional academic record was not enough to shelter her from the gender-based discrimination women faced in the workplace in the 1960s.She had difficulties finding a job until a favorite Columbia professor directly refused to recommend any other graduates before U.S.District Judge Edmund L hired Ginsburg as a clerk for two years.After this,she was offered some jobs at law firms,but always at a much lower salary than her male colleagues.She instead took some time to pursue her other legal passion,civil procedure,choosing to join the Columbia Project on International Civil Procedure.
In 1963,she accepted a job as a professor at Rutgers University Law School.And in 1972,she became the first female professor at Columbia to earn tenure(终身职位).Ginsburg also directed the influential Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union during the 1970s.In this position,she led the fight against gender discrimination and successfully argued six landmark cases before the U.S.Supreme Court.Ginsburg took a broad look at gender discrimination,fighting not just for the women left behind,but for the men who were discriminated against as well.Ginsburg accepted Jimmy Carter’s appointment to the U.S.Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 1980.She served on the court for thirteen years until 1993,when Bill Clinton nominated(提名) her to the Supreme Court of the United States.

For his 86th birthday,Cheng Xiangwen enjoyed a corn-shaped cake his colleagues had prepared for him.“My birthday wish is to develop better corn varieties,” he says.After the celebration,he began another journey to Sanya,in South China’s Hainan Province,where he has worked most of his life.Cheng is a scientist in agriculture and spends most of his life studying and cultivating(栽培) corn.He visits Sanya in November every year and stays there for six months to cultivate corn.
Once,when he was conducting a field survey,a female farmer said to him in tears,“You graduated from college.Could you please find a way to increase the corn output here?If the yields(产量) are higher,our children will no longer suffer from hunger.” Since then,Cheng has made developing high-yield corn varieties his life’s mission.
In 1964,he came to Hainan,where it was warmer,and started his work there.He greatly shortened the cultivation period and created hybrid corn varieties for the first time.With these new varieties,farmers in Xunxian County saw their average corn output was more than 3,750 kg per hectare per year.
Despite the beautiful coastline,the environment where Cheng works used to be troubled by poverty and poor traffic.Locals once described the area as having a large number of rats,mosquitoes,and poisonous snakes.At that time,he did everything on his own.He lived in a local villager’s house and he frequently went to the mountains to chop firewood to cook.His hard work,however,has paid off.Now,authorities have approved 14 new,high-yield corn varieties Cheng helped develop.
Cheng is dedicated to developing high-yield corn varieties with stronger resistance and they are easier to harvest with machines.He still goes to the fields each day and observes and records the corn plants.“Cultivating seeds is like raising kids.Only by careful parenting can you become familiar with their strengths and weaknesses and help them to grow up healthily,” he says.

Hua Sheng and Lu Sheng,a retired Tibetan couple,have become trailblazers(开拓者) of grape growing and winemaking in their old ages.
Lu Sheng learned grape planting and winemaking from her grandmother’s sister.Since they retired,the couple have moved to Lhasa from the village of Yakhadi.Though the fact that the region’s capital,which is 3,600 meters above sea level,is considered unfit for growing grapes,Lu Sheng and Hua Sheng began an ambitious project in 2015,planting grapes in Tsalna,a town in the suburb of Lhasa.
They received support from the local government,which is committed to developing business and the economy.The couple’s project provides jobs for rural residents,and,as a result,the government has considered the project part of its poverty relief program.
“Lhasa is an ideal place for planting French grape varieties that are resistant to cold,drought and disease,and adaptable to high-altitude and open-air planting,” Lu Sheng said.
“Thanks to the plateau’s sunshine and organic planting,our grapes grow very well here in Lhasa.The grapes are a bit sour and sweet,and they have a high anthocyanin(花青素) content,” she said.Anthocyanins,which accumulate(积累) in grape cells and contribute rich color to wine,are water-soluble.
In 2018,Hua Sheng and Lu Sheng expanded their project,planting on nearly 6.67 hectares.In order to familiarize Tibetan farmers with grape planting and winemaking,they taught the skills to local villagers.
“We have successfully taught the local farmers how to grow grapes and make wine over the three years.They now have a new source of income besides traditional farming and herding,” Hua Sheng said.
Yudron,a resident of Nam,said she was grateful to the grape planting project in her village,which has contributed to her income and quality of life.“After working in the vine-yards for years,now we know how to make wine.We drink both barley and grape wine now.We love grape wine more,though,as it is healthier.”
1.What did the couple do after their retirement?
A.They grew grapes and made wine in Lhasa.
B.They made friends with a French expert.
C.They moved to another city from Lhasa.
D.They learned grape planting from Hua Sheng’s grandmother.
2.Why was the couple’s project thought of as part of a poverty relief program?
A.They donated grapes to local schools.
B.They employed local residents as workers.
C.They provided free wine for villagers.
D.They expanded the project with the local government.
3.Which is the function of anthocyanins?
A.They make grapes more delicious.
B.They provide adequate colors for wine.
C.They make grapes a bit sour and sweet.

The first great agricultural revolution happened 10,000 years ago,when humans settled on farms.The second was the “green revolution” from the 1930s to the 1960s,in which advances in fertilization,mechanization,and irrigation dramatically increased global food production.The third is likely to come from information,as digital technology and big data help farmers make better decisions and drive up crop production.
Michael Stern,president and chief executive officer of Climate Corp.,said that the ability to gather detailed information about farmers’ fields,coupled with advances in weather forecasting,computing power,and artificial intelligence,will change farming from a business that often reacts to the past—applying insecticide this year because of a disease outbreak last year—to one that uses real-time data and weather forecasts to make more accurate decisions for the season to come.
Over the course of a growing season,farmers make 40 to 50 key decisions that affect crop performance.Recent trends that have swept other areas of society—such as cheap data storage,the ability to transfer data witlessly,and dramatic increases in computing power—have the potential to transform the farm.
Stem offered the example of a farmer preparing for the regular fall fertilizing of his fields who delays the application after being informed of a coming storm.That decision reduces runoff,keeps fertilizer on the field,and helps controls farmer’s costs.As data gathers season after season,computer models will help farmers better manage fertilizer and other additions to optimize production and minimize runoff.
Remote sensing is another way that modern technology can help farmers know what’s going on in their fields.Many farmers dive around to monitor growth and watch for pets and diseases.But these surveys are typically random and don’t cover more than 2 percent of a field.Remote sensing can provide accurate data that covers an entire field and cables recommendations tailored to what’s going on in the stricken area.
5.What will the third agricultural revolution most probably help farmers do?
A.To prevent disease outbreaks.
B.To grasp computing ability.
C.To make reasonable decisions.
D.To develop business potentials.
6.Why did the author give an example in paragraph 4 according to the text?
A.To confirm the coming of a storm.
B.To explain the reason of fertilizer runoff.
C.To show the use of computer models.
D.To stress the effect of information application.
7.What is the advantage of the remote sensing technology?
A.It can show typical random.
B.It can offer exact information.
C.It can remove pests and diseases.
D.It can present advanced artificial intelligence.
8.What is the author’s attitude to the coming agriculture revolution?
A.Favorable. B.Objective.
C.Disapproval. D.Ambiguous.

People use the proverb “seeing is believing” to describe situations where it’s hard to believe something is possible if you haven’t seen it happen.I am here today to tell you that the proverb is true and to share with you how a girl and her grandmother made a positive transformation in a community.
It was a year ago when I was studying life cycles in my science class.I wrote a paper about the life cycle of the monarch butterfly (帝王蝶) and received a perfect score.I was so thrilled;I called my grandmother Nana and told her the exciting news.My talk recalled memories from Nana’s childhood.“I remember when I was a girl,” she said,“those orange and black butterflies were a common sight.Come late summer;there would suddenly be hundreds of them,and before long there were so many;it felt like you were standing in an orange cloud.”
“It sounds like you witnessed a migration,but what happened to them?” I asked.“To be honest,I’ve never known,” Nana admitted.“But there do seem to be fewer monarchs around the neighborhood.” Nana and I decided to investigate.
That weekend,we met at the public library.Our research produced plenty of information:some fascinating and some concerning.Apparently,the number of monarchs has been in decline for the last several decades.Housing developments have destroyed much of their habitat.Some information was hopeful,though,like how conservationists are working to save them.
The best was this—it doesn’t take lots of money or equipment to do so.It takes only a little bit of land,some seeds,and dedicated people to create what’s called a Monarch Waystation (驿站).
“What if we set up our own Monarch Waystation?” I suggested.“We’ll need people to help.” Nana responded immediately and didn’t waste time to get started.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
The next day,Nana presented the idea to her garden club and I talked to my friends. ___
