Being needed on the farm, Shull received his early formal education off and on. However, it was supplemented (增补) by intense home study so that by 1892 he was teaching in a public school, and later attending Antioch College.  In 1901, he graduated from Antioch and went to the University of Chicago to do graduate work. With his knowledge of botany and experience with farming practices, Shull passed a Civil Service exam, and was appointed as a botanical assistant at the U. S. National Herbarium. He also worked at the U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry as a botanical expert examining the plants and animals of Chesapeake Bay and Currituck Sound. The data he collected during this time was to comprise his Ph. D. thesis (论文). And in 1904 he was appointed to be in charge of plant work at the Station for Experimental Evolution. He began working on corn in 1905. Following Gregor Mendel􀆳s example, Shull obtained purebred (纯种的) lines of corn through self⁃pollination (自花授粉). The pure⁃bred lines were less healthy and productive, but when he crossed the pure⁃bred lines, the hybrid yields were better than any of the parents or those pollinated in the open fields. He immediately recognized the potential for using this strategy to improve crop yields. In 1915, Shull accepted a professorship at Princeton University. With his encouragement, Princeton University Press began the publication of a new journal, Genetics. Shull was the managing editor for ten years. Genetics is still one of the top international science journals. Shull retired in 1942. He and his wife spent most of their later years with their children and grandchildren. 　　【语篇解读】　这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了著名植物学家George Shull的学习和工作经历以及重要成就。 好词　①be appointed as被任命为……;②in charge of负责;主管;③obtain v. 获得;④productive adj.多产的;⑤publication n. 出版 4.What does the underlined part “off and on” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Not surprisingly. B. Very formally. C. Very excellently. D. Not regularly. 答案与解析　D　词语猜测题。根据第一段第二句中的“Being needed on the farm”可知,George Shull小时候需要做农活,所以无法正常接受正规教育。所以off and on意为“断断续续地,时不时地”。故选D。 5.What􀆳s paragraph 2 mainly about? A. George Shull􀆳s contributions. B. George Shull􀆳s research. C. George Shull􀆳s work experience. D. George Shull􀆳s education. 答案与解析　C　主旨大意题。根据第二段第二句“With his knowledge of botany and experience with farming practices, Shull passed a Civil Service exam, and was appointed as a botanical assistant at the U. S. National Herbarium.”和最后一句“And in 1904 he was appointed to be in charge of plant work at the Station for Experimental Evolution.”可知,Shull通过了公务员考试,并被任命为美国国家植物标本馆的植物学助理,在1904年他被任命负责实验进化站的植物工作。第二段主要是讲George Shull的工作经历。故选C。 6.What was so special about Shull􀆳s method of corn breeding? A. It completely relied on self⁃pollination. B. It was first published in Genetics. C. It was widely accepted in Ohio. D. It focused on crossing pure⁃bred lines. 答案与解析　D　细节理解题。根据第三段可知,纯种品种的健康和产量都较差,但当他杂交纯种品种时,杂交品种的产量比任何亲本或在开阔田野授粉的亲本都好。他立即意识到利用这种策略提高作物产量的潜力。故Shull的玉米育种方法的特殊之处在于专注杂交纯种品种。故选D。 7.How does the author mainly develop the text? A. By giving examples. B. By following time order. C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting a scientific study. 答案与解析　B　推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“George Shull was born in 1874 on a farm in Clark County, Ohio, and his knowledge of plants and hybrids came at an early age.”(George Shull在1874年出生于俄亥俄州克拉克县的一个农场,他早年就对植物和杂交作物有了了解。),第二段第一句“In 1901, he graduated from Antioch and went to the University of Chicago to do graduate work.”(1901年,他从安提阿大学毕业,到芝加哥大学攻读研究生学位。),第三段第一句“He began working on corn in 1905.”(1905年,他开始研究玉米。),第四段第一句“In 1915, Shull accepted a professorship at Princeton University.”(1915年,Shull接受了普林斯顿大学的教授职位。)和最后一段“Shull retired in 1942. He and his wife spent most of their later years with their children and grandchildren.”(Shull于1942年退休。他和妻子晚年的大部分时间都是和儿孙们在一起度过的。)可知,这篇文章是按照时间顺序组织的。故选B。 完形填空　体裁:记叙文　主题语境:人物　难度:★★☆☆☆ 　 　　My life as an exchange student finally began!
