模块成果展示(Module 3) (时间：90分钟　满分：100分) Ⅰ. 阅读理解(30分) A On May 22, 2021, the whole nation was saddened by the news that Chinese scientist Yuan Longping died. Dr Yuan Longping worked most of his life growing better rice. As a result of his research, the Chinese people are no longer worried about getting starved. His great work also helped the world produce more and more rice. Yuan was born on Sept. 7, 1930. After graduating(毕业) from Southwest Agriculture College, he worked as a teacher at an agriculture school in Hunan. Several natural disasters(天灾) hit China in the 1960s. Yuan saw many people die of hunger every day. Since then, he has researched how to grow much better crops.

In 1973, he started to develop a type of hybrid rice species(种类). It produced 20% more rice per unit than common ones. The seeding(种植) was very successful in the following year.
