C. was just putting; has left D. just put; left
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意:——你昨天见到Mary时她在做什么?——她刚穿上大衣,正准备去拜访一个朋友。问题询问的是“昨天”发生的事情,因此需要使用过去时态,结合“just”可知,“穿上”大衣的行为发生在“见到”Mary之前,应用过去完成时,“离开”是将发生的行为,且leave是位移动词,应用过去进行时表过去将来。故选B。
7. Watching shows on TV at home is one thing, while going to watch them ________ live is quite another.

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:在家里的电视上看篮球比赛是一回事,去看现场比赛又是另外一回事。空处需要非谓语动词作宾语补足语。them指代shows,与perform之间是被动关系,且该动作正在进行,所以用现在分词的被动形式作宾语补足语,构成“watch + 宾语 + 宾补”的结构。故选D。
8. — When will the new product go on the market?
—In two months. It ________ in the laboratory right now.
A. is being developed B. will be developed C. is developing D. has developed
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意:——新产品什么时候上市?——两个月后。它现在正在实验室里研发。根据时间状语right now可知,用现在进行时;代词It代指the new product,与develop之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故选A。
9. A fire ______ in the center of the market last night. Luckily, no death ______ so far.
A. broke out; is reported B. had broken out; was reported
C. broke out; has been reported D. had broken out; has been reported;
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态及语态。句意:昨晚市场中心发生了一场火灾。幸运的是,目前还没有死亡报告。根据last night可知,第一空用一般过去时态,break out“爆发”是不及物动词词组,无被动语态;根据so far“到目前为止”,且句子主语和谓语动词之间是被动关系,所以第二空用现在完成时态的被动语态。故选C。
10. The trees ________ in the storm have been moved off the road.
A. being blown down B. blown down C. having blowing down D. to be blown down
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:在暴风雨中被吹倒的树已经被移离了道路。空处为非谓语动词作定语。blow down和修饰的名词之间存在被动关系,且表示已经完成的动作,所以用过去分词作定语。故选B。

A
A man known for his generous acts of mowing lawns (修剪草坪) for free has sparked an extraordinary wave of kindness raising over$700,000 for an elderly woman named Beth.
Spencer, from CS Mowing, was contacted by a friend at the city about Beth, who was struggling with an overgrown lawn. The city had issued a warning, threatening to charge her $240 for maintenance — a fee she couldn’t afford.
Spencer visited Beth’s home, where she shared her struggles in finding help. Moved by her situation, he transformed her lawn for free. Beth was overwhelmed (溢于言表的) with gratitude, brought to tears by the kind gesture. Spencer shared the heartwarming transformation in a video titled “Her Tears Said It All: “My Prayers Have Been Answered””, and the response was overwhelming.
Viewers were eager to help Beth beyond her lawn, suggesting donations to address accessibility issues at her home, such as installing a ramp, repairing her driveway, and adding a chair lift. Spencer set up a GoFundMe page with a goal of $100,000, but the donations quickly surpassed expectations. Over 28,000 people contributed; with one donor giving $2,500. Messages poured in from donors who were inspired by Spencer’s kindness and Beth’s story. “I love this story. This is everything that is good in the world. Beth, I hope you get all the upgrades you can and are able to enjoy them,” one donor wrote.
Spencer recorded the moment he informed Beth about the fundraising efforts. Her reaction was pure and emotional, as she tearfully asked, “Why?” Spencer replied; “They kind of fell in love with you and your story. We just wanted to come together as a community to help you out and get you to a better spot.” Beth’s story is a reminder of the power of community, compassion,and the ripple effect of a single act of kindness.
Spencer’s willingness to help others continues to inspire people far and wide.

A. A friend of his told him about it. B. His company informed him of it.

【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Viewers were eager to help Beth beyond her lawn, suggesting donations to address accessibility issues at her home, such as installing a ramp, repairing her driveway, and adding a chair lift. Spencer set up a GoFundMe page with a goal of $100,000, but the donations quickly surpassed expectations.(观众们渴望不仅仅是在草坪修剪方面帮助Beth,他们还建议通过捐款来解决她家中存在的无障碍通行问题,比如安装坡道、修缮车道以及增设座椅升降机。Spencer在GoFundMe网站上创建了一个筹款页面,目标是筹集10万美元,然而捐款数额很快就超出了预期)”可知,Spencer建立GoFundMe页面是为了回应观众的建议。故选B。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在的句子“Spencer set up a GoFundMe page with a goal of $100,000(Spencer在GoFundMe网站上创建了一个筹款页面,目标是筹集10万美元)”以及下文“Over 28,000 people contributed; with one donor giving $2,500.(超过2.8万人参与了捐款;其中有一名捐款者捐出了2500美元)”可知,Spencer 设定的目标是10万美元,但后来有超过2.8万人捐款,还有一个捐赠者捐了2500美元,说明捐款很快超过了预期,surpassed意思是“超过,超出”。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A man known for his generous acts of mowing lawns (修剪草坪) for free has sparked an extraordinary wave of kindness, raising over$700,000 for an elderly woman named Beth.(一名男子因免费修剪草坪的慷慨行为而闻名,他引发了一股非凡的善意浪潮,为一位名叫Beth的老妇人筹集了70多万美元)”以及后文描述Spencer免费为Beth修剪草坪,以及为她筹集资金改善生活条件等,可推知,Spencer善良且有同情心。故选D。

A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg, the program’s founder, said; “We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.”
“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we’ve secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.”
“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.”Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).
The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience.“Before we left I didn’t quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn’t stop, it was amazing,” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.
Kieran said: “It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. For details visit www.younginspirations.com.
36. The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to _____.
A. train staff for world-famous firms B. offer job opportunities to young adults
C. provide youth with unique experiences D. equip the unemployed with different skills
37. According to Alex Goldberg, it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to _____.
A. the lack of support from firms B. the cultural differences

38. According to the passage, the forum focused on how youth can ____.
A. build up their confidence at school B. find work experience opportunities
C. improve their social skills for the future D. play an active role in the change of society
39. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. the visit to the United Kingdom was amazing
B. Kieran has made great progress in many aspects
C. the youth have found a way to solve their problems
D. the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday
40. What would be the best title for the passage?

【40题详解】
主旨大意题。从第一段的主题句“A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.(一项指导计划正在给班伯里青年提供改变生活的机会)”可知,本文主要讲的是Alex Goldberg创建了导师制,给青年人提供了了解社会、获得社会经验的机会,最后这个项目扩大到国际范围,给青年人改变自己和社会的机会,因此最好的题目是B选项“Young People Find a World of Opportunity(年轻人发现了一个充满机会的世界)”,故选B。

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do ,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work,don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
41. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A. the reasons for success B. the meaning of success
C. the standards of success D. the importance of success
42. In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to ______.
A. being good at something B. setting a practical goal
C. putting in more time D. succeeding in life
43. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.
A. work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work
C. one gives up his work easily D. it takes a lot of time to succeed
44. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Successful people like to show their great skills.
B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
45. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Having a goal is vital to success.
B. Being good is different from being great.
C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D. Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.

【41题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.”(有些人认为成功只属于那些有天赋或有良好家庭环境的人,而另一些人则认为成功主要取决于运气。我并不是说运气、天赋和环境没有发挥作用,因为它们确实发挥了作用。有些人出生在正确的家庭,而另一些人出生就很聪明,这就是生活的现实。)可以得知,作者列出许多成功因素天赋、良好家庭环境、运气,故选A。
【42题详解】
词义猜词题。此种题目的答案多数在前文找,根据前文,不难得知答案。“However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in additional to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. ”(然而,要在生活中取得成功,你必须要设定一个目标,然后逐步将它变得更加实际。除此之外,要变得更加擅长某事,必须花费至少10,000个小时进行学习和实践。)可知,除此之外,指的是前面的设定实际的目标。此外,也可以从结构上找到答案,出现两次的needs. 属于原词重现。故选B。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据“To become great at certain things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.”(要精通某些事情,甚至需要更多的时间,而大多数人不会投入这些时间。)要想成功需要大量时间。以及第三段的“This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. ”(这就是为什么许多成功人士建议你去做你喜欢的事情的一个重要原因。)可知答案的关键是this。而this 指代的内容刚好是与时间(To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.)有关。属于原词重现。故选D。
【44题详解】
推理判断题 。根据第四段“It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.” (很容易去认为他们是运气好,或者天生有些独特的天赋,但是这么想对你并无好处,而且极有可能你想错了。)可以得知很多人的成功并不是因为天赋或运气。通过but之后的内容“thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.”不难得出答案。而且也可以通过排除法得出答案。A项的“show skills 展现技能”表达错误。C项的表达“at the cost of life 以生命为代价”是错误的,这不符合常理,但这道题最容易出错。D项可以根据第四段最后一句的does you no good排除。故选B。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。通过文章最后一段主题句“Whatever you do , if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. ”(无论你做什么,如果你想在这方面做得很好,你需要日复一日地工作,几乎到上瘾的程度,而且要持续很长一段时间)以及文章多次提到要花费时间和精力可知正确选项为C。ABD项都是以偏概全。属于原词重现。故选C。

第二节:阅读表达(5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
A seed expert who brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries, was awarded the 2019 World Food Prize. Simon Groot of the Netherlands is credited with introducing high-quality, disease-resistance vegetable seeds to more than 60 countries including the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia.
He began his search to create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in1981. Sixteen years earlier, he had made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds which were developed for the climate of Europe, did poorly when planted in the hot tropics. He thought there was a great possibility to introduce hybrid vegetables to the area. The area lacked vegetable seed developers who were trying to create hybrids for the local climate. “I noticed the seed quality in that part of world was so much below our standards and below achievable standards. I could not stand that the farmers there did not have better seeds.”Said Groot.
At that time, farmers in Southeast Asia usually saved seeds from season to season. That was because the seeds available for sale were often old. Those seeds were usually from Europe or North America and did not grow well in their tropical climate. This meant that the farmers ended up with smaller crops, and lower quality that changed greatly from season to season. The plant also could easily become infected with diseases.
Groot partnered with seed trader Benito Domingo of the Philippines. They put together a team of seed researchers and growers from Wageninge University in the Netherlands and the University of the Philippines. Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd (苦瓜) that sold successfully. Then they modified a tomato plant, followed by eggplants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables.
The early success led to the start of the East-West Seed Company, which now has more than 970 improved seeds of 60 vegetable crops. Over the past 40 years, the discoveries have led to the creation of a tropical vegetable seed industry aimed at small farmers. The tropical seeds are now spreading into Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is estimated that the company’s seeds are used by 20 million farmers each year in more than 60 countries.
56. Why was Groot awarded the 2019 World Food Prize ? (No more than 10 words.)
____________________________________________________________________________
57. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?(no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
58. What made the plants not grow well in Southeast Asia in the past? (No more than 15words)
____________________________________________________________________________
59. What does the underlined word in the Paragraph 4 most probably mean?(Only 1 word)
____________________________________________________________________________
60. What do you think of Groot’s work? And give your reasons. (No more than 25 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. Because he brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries.
57. The reason for Groot to start his search.
58. The seeds available for sale were often old and unsuitable for the tropical climate.
59. Improved/Changed.
60. I think Groot’s work is meaningful because it has helped farmers and improved vegetable production and quality, contributing to global food security.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了荷兰种子专家Simon Groot因向多国推广优质蔬菜种子而获2019年世界粮食奖。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“A seed expert who brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries, was awarded the 2019 World Food Prize. Simon Groot of the Netherlands is credited with introducing high-quality, disease-resistance vegetable seeds to more than 60 countries including the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia.(一位将优质蔬菜种子带到许多国家的种子专家获得了2019年世界粮食奖。荷兰的Simon Groot因向包括菲律宾、泰国和印度尼西亚在内的60多个国家推广优质、抗病蔬菜种子而受到赞誉)”可知,Groot获得2019年世界粮食奖是因为他将优质蔬菜种子带到了许多国家。故答案为Because he brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries.
【57题详解】
考查段落大意。根据第二段中“He began his search to create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in1981. Sixteen years earlier, he had made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds which were developed for the climate of Europe, did poorly when planted in the hot tropics.(1981年,他开始寻找更好的蔬菜种子来帮助东南亚的农民。十六年前,他首次踏上了前往印度尼西亚的旅程。在那里,Groot了解到,那些为欧洲气候条件而培育的蔬菜种子,在炎热的热带地区种植时表现欠佳)”以及本段剩余内容可知,本段主要讲述了Groot开始寻找更好的蔬菜种子的原因。故答案为The reason for Groot to start his search.
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“That was because the seeds available for sale were often old. Those seeds were usually from Europe or North America and did not grow well in their tropical climate.(那是因为可供出售的种子通常都很旧。这些种子通常来自欧洲或北美,在热带气候下生长得不好)”可知,过去植物在东南亚生长不好的原因是可买到的种子通常都很旧,且这些种子通常来自欧洲或北美,不适合在热带气候下生长。故答案为The seeds available for sale were often old and unsuitable for the tropical climate.
【59题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据划线词前一句话“Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd (苦瓜) that sold successfully.(在几年之内,他们培育出了一种杂交苦瓜,并且这种苦瓜成功上市销售)”以及“Then(然后)”及“a tomato plant, followed by eggplants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables.(一种番茄植株,接着是茄子、南瓜和绿叶蔬菜。)”可知,他们成功开发了杂交苦瓜,接着说对番茄植株做了“modified”,后面又提到茄子、南瓜和多叶蔬菜,结合语境可知是对番茄植株进行了改良,modified意思是“改变,改良”。故答案为Improved/Changed.
【60题详解】
考查开放回答。本题为开放性试题,答案不唯一,合理即可。根据文章内容可知,Groot的工作是有意义的,因为他的工作帮助了农民,提高了蔬菜产量和质量,对全球粮食安全做出了贡献。故答案为I think Groot’s work is meaningful because it has helped farmers and improved vegetable production and quality, contributing to global food security.

第三部分:阅读理解(共15 小题,每题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
A man known for his generous acts of mowing lawns (修剪草坪) for free has sparked an extraordinary wave of kindness, raising over$700,000 for an elderly woman named Beth.
Spencer, from CS Mowing, was contacted by a friend at the city about Beth, who was struggling with an overgrown lawn. The city had issued a warning, threatening to charge her $240 for maintenance — a fee she couldn’t afford.
Spencer visited Beth’s home, where she shared her struggles in finding help. Moved by her situation, he transformed her lawn for free. Beth was overwhelmed (溢于言表的) with gratitude, brought to tears by the kind gesture. Spencer shared the heartwarming transformation in a video titled “Her Tears Said It All: “My Prayers Have Been Answered””, and the response was overwhelming.
Viewers were eager to help Beth beyond her lawn, suggesting donations to address accessibility issues at her home, such as installing a ramp, repairing her driveway, and adding a chair lift. Spencer set up a GoFundMe page with a goal of $100,000, but the donations quickly surpassed expectations. Over 28,000 people contributed; with one donor giving $2,500. Messages poured in from donors who were inspired by Spencer’s kindness and Beth’s story. “I love this story. This is everything that is good in the world. Beth, I hope you get all the upgrades you can and are able to enjoy them,” one donor wrote.

A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg, the program’s founder, said; “We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.”
“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we’ve secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.”
“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.”Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).
The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience.“Before we left I didn’t quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn’t stop, it was amazing,” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.
Kieran said: “It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury For details visit www.younginspirations.com.

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do ,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work,don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
41. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A. the reasons for success B. the meaning of success
C. the standards of success D. the importance of success
42. In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to ______.

C. putting in more time D. succeeding in life
43. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.
A. work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work
C. one gives up his work easily D. it takes a lot of time to succeed
44. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Successful people like to show their great skills.
B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
45. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Having a goal is vital to success.
B. Being good is different from being great.
C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D. Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.

A seed expert who brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries, was awarded the 2019 World Food Prize. Simon Groot of the Netherlands is credited with introducing high-quality, disease-resistance vegetable seeds to more than 60 countries including the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia.
He began his search to create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in1981. Sixteen years earlier, he had made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds which were developed for the climate of Europe, did poorly when planted in the hot tropics. He thought there was a great possibility to introduce hybrid vegetables to the area. The area lacked vegetable seed developers who were trying to create hybrids for the local climate. “I noticed the seed quality in that part of world was so much below our standards and below achievable standards. I could not stand that the farmers there did not have better seeds.”Said Groot.
At that time, farmers in Southeast Asia usually saved seeds from season to season. That was because the seeds available for sale were often old. Those seeds were usually from Europe or North America and did not grow well in their tropical climate. This meant that the farmers ended up with smaller crops, and lower quality that changed greatly from season to season. The plant also could easily become infected with diseases.
Groot partnered with seed trader Benito Domingo of the Philippines. They put together a team of seed researchers and growers from Wageninge University in the Netherlands and the University of the Philippines. Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd (苦瓜) that sold successfully. Then they modified a tomato plant, followed by eggplants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables.
The early success led to the start of the East-West Seed Company, which now has more than 970 improved seeds of 60 vegetable crops. Over the past 40 years, the discoveries have led to the creation of a tropical vegetable seed industry aimed at small farmers. The tropical seeds are now spreading into Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is estimated that the company’s seeds are used by 20 million farmers each year in more than 60 countries.
