Indeed, his slim 3.________ strong body was just like that of millions of Chinese farmers, to 4._________ he had devoted his life. Yuan Longping 5.__________ (bear) in 1930 in Beijing. His parents wanted him to pursue a career 6.______ science or medicine. 7.__________, 8.__________ concerned him most was that farmers often had poor harvests and sometimes even had a serious 9.__________ (short) of food to eat. To 10.__________ (解决；应付；处理) this crisis, he 11.__________ (choose) to study agriculture and received an education at Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing. After 12.__________ (graduate) in 1953, he worked 13.______ a researcher. Yuan Longping realised that larger fields were not the solution. Instead, farmers needed to 14.______________ (提高产量) in the fields they had. How this could be done was a 15.____________ (challenge) question at the time. Yuan was 16.__________ (convince) that the answer could 17.__________ (find) in the 18.__________ (create) of hybrid rice. A hybrid is a cross between two or more 19.__________ (vary) of a species. One characteristic of hybrids is that they usually attain a higher yield 20.________ conventional crops. However, 21.__________ it was possible to develop a hybrid of self-pollinating plants such as rice was a matter of great debate. The common 22.____________ (assume) then was that it could not be done. Through 23.__________ (热切地；十分强烈的；激烈的) effort, Yuan 24.__________ (overcome) enormous technical difficulties to develop the first hybrid rice 25.________ could be used for farming in 1974. This hybrid enabled farmers 26.__________ (expand) their output greatly. Today, it 27.__________ (estimate) that about 60 percent of domestic rice 28.____________ (consume) in China 29.__________________ (包括；包含；由......组成) crops 30.__________ (generate) from Yuan’s hybrid strains, and his strains have allowed China’s farmers to produce around 200 million tons of rice per year. Yuan’s 31.__________ (innovate) has helped feed not just China, 32.________ many other countries 33.________ depend on rice as well, such as India and Vietnam. Because of his invaluable contributions, Yuan Longping received numerous awards both in China and abroad. 34.__________ (give) that Yuan’s hybrids made him quite 35.__________ (wealth), one might think he would have retired to a life of leisure. However, this is far from the case. 36.________________ (在内心深处；实际上；本质上), Yuan was still very much a farmer at heart. As a man of the soil, he cared little for celebrity or money. Instead, he made large 37.__________ (donate) to support 38.__________ (agriculture) research. 39.__________ impressed people most about Yuan Longping was his ongoing ability to fulfil his dreams. Long ago, he 40.__________ (envision) rice plants as tall as sorghum, 41.__________ each ear of rice as big as a broom, and each grain of rice as huge as a peanut. He succeeded in 42.__________ (produce) a kind of rice 43.__________ could feed more people 44.______________________________ (在国内外). His later vision for “seawater rice” also became a 45.__________ (real), and 46.__________ (potential) opened up nearly one million square kilometres of 47.__________ (salt) land in China for rice production. Even in his later years, Yuan Longping was still young at heart and full of vision, and everyone was always excited to see 48.__________ he would dream up next. 2． 回顾《CHEMICAL VERSUS ORGANIC FARMING》（P. 55-56）课文，并在空白处填入1个或以上的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 CHEMICAL VERSUS ORGANIC FARMING Chemical pesticides and artificial fertilisers 1.__________ (be) in 2.__________ (分布广的；普遍的；广泛的) use in farming since the middle of the 20th century. When they were first introduced, many farmers 3.__________ (welcome) them as a great way to fight crop disease and increase production. Over time, however, 4.__________ some scientists have found is that their long-term use can sometimes harm both the land and people’s health. For example, pesticides can damage the land by 5.__________ (kill) not only 6.__________ (harm) bacteria and insects, but also helpful ones. In addition, these chemicals can stay in the soil and underground water sources for a long time. This affects the crops 7.__________ (grow) on the land and, in turn, the animals and humans 8.________ digest them. Many people worry that these chemicals may make them ill and even cause cancer. In fact, some pesticides like DDT have been prohibited in most countries because of the damage they cause to people and the environment. As for chemical fertilisers, crops grown with them usually grow 9.too fast to be rich 10.______ nutrition. They may look beautiful on the outside, 11._______ inside there is usually more water 12.________ essential minerals, and they often have less flavour as well. As an 13.__________ (alternate), some farmers have switched to organic farming, and many customers have turned to organic food when they shop at the local grocery. Organic farming is 14.__________ (simple) farming 15.__________ using any chemicals. Organic farmers focus on 16.__________ (keep) their soil rich and free of disease through 17.__________ (nature) means. For example, many organic farmers use natural waste from animals as fertiliser. This makes the soil in their fields richer in minerals. It also keeps the air, soil, water, and crops free of chemicals. Organic farmers also use many other methods to produce rich soil. They often change the kind of crop grown in each field every year. For instance, they may grow corn or wheat in a field one year, and then grow beans there the next. 18.__________ different crops 19.__________ (grow) is that they put important minerals back into the ground, 20.__________ (make) it ready for the next batch of crops. Organic farmers also plant diverse crops 21.__________ use different 22.__________ (deep) of soil to help keep it rich. For example, peanuts grow on the ground’s surface, but many other vegetables put down deep roots. The goal of using different organic farming methods is to grow good food while 23.__________ (avoid) damage to the environment or to people’s health. Some people would prefer to stop the use of man-made chemicals in agriculture 24.__________ (entire). What keeps them 25.__________ doing so is the fact that chemical farming serves the high demand for food around the world. Organic farming is nowhere near able to meet that need. Therefore, there is still a long way to find a 26.__________ (suit) solution 27.__________ puts sufficient food on the dinner table while keeping people and the environment as 28.__________ (health) as possible. 答案： UNIT 5 WORKING THE LAND 一．回顾《A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLE》（P. 50-51）课文，并在空白处填入1个或以上的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。（48空） A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLE Yuan Longping, 1.known as the “father of hybrid rice”, was one of China’s most famous scientists.Yet, he considered himself a farmer because he 2.continually worked the land in his research.
