Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The 95yearold grandma Wu Mingzhu is called the “queen of melons”, a melongrowing expert and outstanding academician.Among Wu Mingzhu's classmates was Yuan Longping, who later became the “father of hybrid rice”.
Wu Mingzhu was born in 1930 into a scholarly family in Wuhan city.After her graduation in 1953, she was sent to work in Beijing.But Wu had already set her eyes on her longawaited goal.“What I studied was the science of fruit and vegetables.I wanted to work in the fields not in an office,” said Wu.
In 1955, Wu voluntarily went to work in Shanshan County, Turpan Basin, where working conditions were quite hard.She found that the Hami melon, a rare specialty fruit which was once common in the area, was in danger if not properly cultivated (种植).Wu spent years visiting over 300 production teams, picking out 44 melon varieties.She overcame a variety of difficulties to produce particularly delicious melons in a scientific way, winning over the local farmers accustomed to folk cultivation methods.Then the promotion area covered most of Xinjiang's major producing areas, and a group of melonrich villages appeared.
For more than 60 years, Wu Mingzhu and her team have cultivated more than 30 varieties, brought the sweetness of melons to people, and promoted the melon series with Chinese characteristics and a complete breeding innovation system to the world.When first hearing her nickname of “a pearl in the Turpan Basin”, Wu said, “in Xinjiang, there are thousands of science and technology workers like me.They have worked hard for decades on the frontline of agriculture.I'm just one of the ordinary ones.”

The 24 Solar Terms (二十四节气) is a traditional Chinese calendar system that reflects the changes of nature, climate, and agricultural activities.Developed over 2,000 years ago, it is based on the Earth's orbit around the sun and the position of the sun in the zodiac (黄道十二宫).In 2016, it was listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
Each solar term lasts about 15 days, and together they divide the year into 24 parts.The terms are closely related to people's daily lives and farming practices.For example, “Lichun” (Beginning of Spring) marks the start of the spring season, when farmers begin plowing the fields.“Xiazhi” (Summer Solstice) is the longest day of the year, while “Dongzhi” (Winter Solstice) is the shortest.“Ching Ming” (Pure Brightness) is a wellknown term associated with tombsweeping and enjoying spring scenery.
The 24 Solar Terms also influence Chinese food culture.During “Lixia” (Beginning of Summer), people in southern China eat “fivecolored rice” to wish for good health.In northern China, “Dahan” (Major Cold) is the time to eat hot pot and dumplings to keep warm.Additionally, many proverbs related to the solar terms have been passed down, such as “Rain Water nourishes all things” and “Grain in Ear is the season for harvesting wheat.”
Today, although modern calendars are widely used, the 24 Solar Terms still play an important role in Chinese society.They remind people to respect nature's laws and maintain a harmonious relationship with the environment.Many traditional festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival and MidAutumn Festival, are also closely connected to certain solar terms.
