Unit 2 Great minds 单元话题阅读理解练习 （23-24九年级上·广东广州·期中）Although there is a huge increase in Earth’s human population, the number of hungry people in the world has actually fallen in the past 30 years. Yuan Longping has contributed more to this achievement than anyone else. Yuan was born into a poor farmer’s family in 1930 and his parents hoped their son would become a doctor. However, he chose to study farming science at university in Chongqing because he wanted to change the Chinese farmers’ hard life caused by lack of food. His goal was to find a better way to grow rice and help feed the people in his country. The first major breakthrough for Dr Yuan came in 1970 when he discovered a type of wild rice in Hainan. Within three years, Dr Yuan had created the world’s first hybrid rice, by combining the Hainan rice with more traditional rice types. This new rice allowed farmers to produce 30% more rice without the need for more land. Many farmers started using Yuan’s new rice which finally allowed over 70 million Chinese people to escape hunger. But Dr Yuan has not finished yet. In 1986 Yuan began developing an improved type of hybrid rice that was even better. It needed less water and labor to produce even more rice. Though it was a difficult process, Yuan never gave up. Eventually, in 1995, experiments of Yuan’s new hybrid rice began in 55 counties throughout China and the results were so spectacular that it was quickly made available throughout China. Yuan hasn’t limited his efforts to helping only China. His hybrid rice has been introduced to countries such as Madagascar and Kenya, where they have been able to produce up to 4 times as much rice as before. When he was over 90 years old, he still kept working tirelessly. However, he didn’t care about being famous. He felt it gave him less freedom to do his research. Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also meant very little to him. Indeed, he believed that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer troubles. He therefore gave millions of yuan to support others for their research in agriculture (农业). 1．Why did Yuan choose to study farming science? A．Because he was born in a farmer’s family without enough food. B．Because he wanted to save the hungry people all over the world. C．Because he thought farming science was better than being a doctor. D．Because he wanted to help Chinese farmers have more food to eat. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．A type of rice in Hainan. B．The improved hybrid rice. C．The world’s first hybrid rice. D．Yuan Longping’s experiment. 3．In which order did the following things take place in Yuan’s life? a. Yuan’s rice helped over 70 million Chinese stay away from being hungry. b. Yuan created the world’s first hybrid rice. c. Yuan’s new hybrid rice succeeded and was grown all over China. d. Yuan began to improve his hybrid rice. e. Yuan discovered a type of wild rice in Hainan. A．e-b-c-a-d B．b-e-d-a-c C．b-e-c-d-a D．e-b-a-d-c 4．Which of the following is true according to the last paragraph? A．Yuan spent plenty of money helping the poor. B．Yuan was too old to continue doing his research. C．Yuan was famous and rich, but he still worked hard. D．Yuan enjoyed living a comfortable lifestyle. （23-24九年级上·广东广州·期中）Yang Hongwei, born in 1966, is an inheritor (传承人) of the Weifang kite-making technique (技艺).

Her father, László, an educational psychologist, believed that prodigies were not born with high intelligence quotient (IQ). It was the result of proper training. He said that any child could be remarkable at an early age if given the right schooling and he even wrote a book called Raise a Genius! László’s ideas might sound strange and unusual at the time, but when all three of László’s daughters turned out to be chess prodigies, nobody laughed at him. Judit and her sisters were taught at home as part of an educational experiment by their father László. Besides studying languages, they learned to play chess. By the time she was five, Judit could beat her father at chess. Raised in an environment of continuing chess practice, the Polgár sisters became better and better at chess competitions. At that time, it was widely believed that men were much more excellent chess players than women. However, László’s daughters changed the opinion. The eldest daughter, Susan, became the top woman player in the world at age 15. In January 1991, she was the first woman ever to get a grandmaster rank (大师级别) on the same level as men players. But she was soon beaten by the youngest Polgár sister, Judit. In December 1991, the 15-year-old Judit became the youngest player ever to get the rank of grandmaster, breaking the record set by Bobby Fischer in 1958. During her career, Judit avoided women’s-only events. Instead, she focused on playing against the best men players in the world, often with great success. In 2005, she reached eighth in the competition of the top players in chess, becoming the only woman ever to reach the top ten. “I played against men because it was challenging and interesting, and I felt I could improve the fastest and the best against them. It’s very important to know what your goals and dreams are,” said Judit. 9．The underlined word “remarkable” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “________”.

As “Father of Hybrid Rice(杂交水稻) ”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to increase rice production and helping to feed the country with the largest population.     Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery(肝胆外科) ”, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years. He did more than 16,000 operations during his life. Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers, but he still kept doing operations. Wu once said, “It would be my greatest happiness if I could work at the operating table until the last moment of my life.”     In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria(疟疾), Tu Youyou, worked as head of a research team. They did different kinds of experiments. However, the results were not satisfactory. Instead of giving up, they kept trying. Finally, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, at the age of 85, she received the Nobel Prize.     Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb believed that every failure was a step towards success. He once said, “If I find 10,000 ways that won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong try is another step forward. ”     Sometimes, their success was a surprise, even to themselves, even after a long time of their hard work. The famous scientist Alexander Fleming said, “When I woke up just after daybreak on 28th September, 1928, I just began another busy day with my research as I did many days and nights before. And I certainly didn’t plan to make a great difference to all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic(抗生素). But I guess that was exactly what I did.”     Some people only became successful after their deaths. The artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2,000 artworks in the following ten years. Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds.     One thing all these people have in common is that they never give up and stick to their goals no matter what happens. 36．The underlined phrase deformed his fingers means ____________. A．changing the shape of his fingers B．making his fingers stronger C．making his fingers quicker D．cutting off his fingers 37．Before Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic, he ______________.

D．Vincent Van Gogh painted 2,001 artworks during his whole life. 39．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．Goals can’t be realized by everyone. B．Difficulties can always lead to greatness.
