On May 22, 2021, people in China and around the world felt sad. China’s “father of hybrid rice(杂交水稻之父)” Yuan Longping died at 91 on this day.

Yuan spent his life researching hybrid rice, which ended hunger for millions of people not only in China, but around the world. Hybrid rice is grown in 57 per cent of China’s rice fields. It feeds an extra 80 million people a year. It is also grown in over 40 countries, including India, the USA and Brazil, etc.

Yuan grew up in a time of war and famine(饥荒). How to get enough to eat was a serious problem in China at that time. After he finished high school, he decided to study agriculture(农业). After seeing many people die of hunger during a serious famine that lasted from 1959 to 1961, he decided to study hybrid rice.

In 1973, he succeeded in growing the world’s first high­yield(高产的) hybrid rice. It could reach a yield of over 500 kg per mu, higher than the 300­kg yields from normal rice.

In 2019, he was awarded the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest state honor. In 2020, hybrid rice achieved 750 kilograms per mu in one growing seasons, setting a new world record. His team also started to research growing seawater rice in 2016. Their experiment succeeded in 2017.

Yuan once said he had two dreams. One was to enjoy the shade under rice crops that were taller than men. The other was that hybrid rice would be grown all over the world. I think his dreams might come true one day.

31．When did Yuan Longping die?

A．In 2016. B．In 2019. C．In 2020. D．In 2021.

32．Yuan Longping helped people solve the food problem by________.

A．developing the hybrid rice with his team

B．borrowing enough food from other countries

C．discovering another kind of food to eat

D．asking people to grow more rice in their fields

33．In one growing season, what was the yield of hybrid rice in 2020?

A．300 kg per mu. B．500 kg per mu.

C．750 kg per mu. D．1,500 kg per mu.

34．What does this passage mainly tell us?

A．The new kind of hybrid rice is worth studying forever.

B．The best season to grow hybrid rice.

C．The yield of new hybrid rice is improving quickly.

D．The life of China’s “father of hybrid rice”.

Volunteers are often overlooked(忽视) by people. But no activities can carry on smoothly without hard-working volunteers. Last month, I volunteered at the Color Run in Melbourne, Australia. Although I didn’t have so much fun as the runners, I still learned a valuable lesson.

My job was to give a high five(击掌) to every runner at the finish line. At the beginning, I saw it as a simple task. When the first runner passed, I reached out my hands and shouted “Good job!” excitedly. However, as more and more people crossed the finish line and clapped their hands with mine, my arms got sore. What’s worse, it became hotter. My clothes were wet because of the sweat(汗水), and I felt really tired. But soon I saw a group of children running towards me. They were about 6 years old. Although they hardly caught their breath, they still kept going with big smiles on their faces. They put up their hands and said loudly, “High five!”

At that moment, I was quite touched. They were so young, and they refused to give up. Suddenly, I felt myself full of strength(力量). I clapped their hands, “Well done, little guys!”

That is the meaning of being a volunteer. It is never an easy job. However, we meet different people and see the spirit that touches us. Although such spirit is not often found in daily life, it can help us learn a lot when we see it by accident.

38．Where did the Color Run take place last month?

A．In Canada. B．In America. C．In Australia. D．In Britain.

39．What was the writer’s job at the Color Run?

A．She ran beside the runners.

B．She gave high fives to runners.

C．She offered water to runners.

D．She led runners to the finish line.

40．At the very beginning, the writer thought her job was ________.

A．easy B．tiring C．funny D．boring

41．The writer was touched because ________.

A．she saw so many people cross the finish line

B．her clothes were wet because of the hot weather

C．some children refused to give up

D．all the runners gave her a high five

In fear and surprise I hid in the corn, and hoped he would not notice me. He shouted in a voice like thunder and seven other giants appeared. They seemed to be his servants (仆人). When he gave the order, they began to cut the corn in the field where I was hiding. As they moved towards me, I moved away. But at last I come to a field where rain had knocked down the corn. There was no longer anywhere for me to hide. I lay down and prepared to die. I could not stop myself thinking of Lilliput. There, I myself had been a giant, an important person who had become famous for helping the people of that small country. Here, it was the opposite. I was like a Lilliputian in Europe, and I began to understand how a very small creature feels.

Suddenly I noticed that one of the giants was very close to me as his huge foot rose over my head. I screamed as loudly as I could. He looked around on the ground and finally saw me. He stared at me for a moment. Then very carefully, he picked me up with finger and thumb and looked at me. I was now twenty meters high in the air, and I hoped he would not decide to throw me to the ground. I did not struggle, and spoke politely to him, although I knew he did not understand any of my languages. He took me to the farmer who soon realized that I was not an animal, but a bright being. He carefully put me in his pocket and took me home to show to his wife. When she saw me, she screamed and jumped back in fear, perhaps thinking I was an insect, but in a little while she became used to me and was very kind to me.

42．The underlined word “He” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________.

A．a giant B．a Lilliputian C．a farmer D．an animal

43．Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage?

a. I could find nowhere to hide.                    b. I helped the people in Lilliput.

c. I was ready to die.                                   d. I was taken to a farmer.

A．abcd B．acdb C．bcda D．bacd

44．“I” felt ________ when “I” was picked up in the air.

A．afraid and calm B．afraid and hopeful

C．surprised and calm D．surprised and hopeless

Almost one seventh of China has been under heavy smog. The air pollution in 20 cities has reached the “danger level”. China is not alone, however. Many countries have the same situation. The air pollution is a problem from which we can’t hide.

The United States

Since the beginning of the 19th century, America has had trouble with environmental problems, air pollution in particular. Almost 60 percent of Americans live in areas, where air pollution has reached unhealthy levels. It can make people sick.

The US created the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970 and passed the Clean Air Act. Now the air all over the country is much cleaner, especially compared to ten years ago.

London

Yellow-grey smog was a frequent visitor to London in the 1950s and got the name “London fog”. The heaviest, which shocked the world, was in 1952. Because of cold weather and windless conditions, polluted air covered the city. People could see something around them only in a few meters and about 4,000 people died. In 1956, London passed the Clean Air Act. It largely reduced air pollution.

New Delhi

Because New Delhi is developing fast, its air quality is even worse than that of Chinese cities. New Delhi has done little to improve air quality in recent years. However, the city government made a few changes more than 10 years ago. They moved industry out of the city, built a subway and improved public transport.
