Task 6 Practice
Guess the meaning of the underlined words
以下面段落中的红色词为例:
After graduating in 1953, Yuan Longping worked as a researcher. He realised farmers needed to boost yields in the fields they had. How this could be done was a challenging question at the time. Yuan was convinced that the answer could be found in the creation of hybrid rice. However, whether it was possible to develop a hybrid of self-pollinating plants such as rice was a matter of great debate. Through intense effort, Yuan overcame enormous technical difficulties to develop the first hybrid rice that could be used for farming in 1974. This hybrid enabled farmers to expand their output greatly.
