A Pioneer for All People
Yuan Longping, known as the “father of 1. h_______(杂交植物) rice”, is one of China’s most famous scientists. Yet, he considers himself a farmer because he continually works the land in his research.

Yuan Longping was born in 1930 in Beijing. His parents wanted him to pursue a career in science or medicine. However, what concerned him most was that farmers often had poor harvests and sometimes even had a serious 3. s__________(短缺) of food to eat. To 4. t________(解决) this 5. c________(危机), he chose to study agriculture and received an education at Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing.
After graduating in 1953, he worked as a researcher. Yuan Longping realised that larger fields were not the solution.

Yuan’s innovation has helped feed not just China, but many other countries that depend on rice as well, such as India and Vietnam. Because of his invaluable contributions, Yuan Longping has received numerous awards both in China and abroad.
Given that Yuan’s hybrids have made him quite wealthy, one might think he would retire to a life of 24. l________(闲暇). However, this is far from the case. 25. ______________(本质上), Yuan is still very much a farmer at heart. As a man of the 26. s______ (泥土), he cares little for 27. c________(名望) or money.

Using Language : Chemical Versus Organic Farming
第一遍:词汇短语过关斩将
Chemical Versus 1. O_______(有机的) Farming
C________(化学的) 3. p_________(杀虫剂) and artificial 4. f_________(肥料) have been in 5. w_________(普遍的) use in farming since the middle of the 20th century. When they were first introduced, many farmers welcomed them as a great way to fight crop disease and increase production. Over time, however, what some scientists have found is that their long-term use can sometimes harm both the land and people’s health.
For example, pesticides can damage the land by killing not only harmful 6. b_______(细菌) and insects, but also helpful ones. In addition, these chemicals can stay in the soil and underground water sources for a long time. This affects the crops grown on the land and, 7. _________(转而), the animals and humans who 8. d______(消化) them. Many people worry that these chemicals may make them ill and even cause cancer. In fact, some pesticides like DDT have been prohibited in most countries because of the damage they cause to people and the environment. As for chemical fertilisers, crops grown with them usually grow too fast to be rich in 9. n________(营养). They may look beautiful on the outside, but inside there is usually more water than 10. e________(极其重要的) 11. m_________(矿物质), and they often have less flavour as well.
As an 12. a___________(可供选择的事物), some farmers have switched to organic farming, and many customers have turned to organic food when they shop at the local 13. g________(食品杂货店). Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals. Organic farmers focus on keeping their soil rich and free of disease through natural means. For example, many organic farmers use natural waste from animals as fertiliser. This makes the soil in their fields richer in minerals. It also keeps the air, soil, water, and crops free of chemicals.
Organic farmers also use many other methods to produce rich soil. They often change the kind of crop grown in each field every year. For 14. i________(实例), they may grow corn or wheat in a field one year, and then grow beans there the next. Why different crops are grown is because they put important minerals back into the ground, making it ready for the next batch of crops. Organic farmers also plant diverse crops that use different 15. d_______(深度) of soil to help keep it rich. For example peanuts grow on the ground’s surface, but many other vegetables put down deep 16. r_____(根茎). The goal of using different organic farming methods is to grow good food while avoiding damage to the environment or to people’s health.
Some people would prefer to stop the use of man-made chemicals in agriculture 17. e________(完全地). What keeps them from doing so is the fact that chemical farming serves the high demand for food around the world. Organic farming is nowhere near able to meet that need. Therefore, there is still a long way to find a suitable solution that puts sufficient food on the dinner table while keeping people and the environment as healthy as possible.
