答案及解析
答案:1. C 2. B 3. C 4. B 5. C
解析:
1.C 【解析】 根据文章第一段第三、四句“He was very sad... So, he decided to study rice.”可知,袁隆平爷爷研究水稻的主要原因是看到许多人没有足够的食物,他感到非常难过,因此决定研究水稻。选项C准确地描述了他的动机。
2.B 【解析】 此题考查对人物情感的细节捕捉。定位至第一段第三句“He was very sad to see that many people did not have enough food.”,明确说明他看到人们没有足够食物时感到“非常难过”,因此答案为B。
3.C 【解析】 此题考查对关键短语在语境中含义的理解。第二段第三、四句描述了袁隆平爷爷在研究中“失败了很多次”,但“从未放弃”,这体现了他坚持不懈、不断尝试的精神。因此,“never gave up”在此处意为“即使失败多次也继续努力”,选项C最符合文意。
4.B 【解析】 此题考查对“超级稻”核心特点的把握。定位至第二段倒数第二句“This ‘super rice’ could grow much more food on the same land.”,明确指出超级稻的特点是“能在同样的土地上产出更多的粮食”,因此答案为B。
5.C 【解析】 此题考查对段落大意的概括能力。最后一段首先指出袁隆平爷爷的工作帮助了全世界数百万人,然后总结他的故事教导我们要为梦想努力并帮助他人。选项C“袁隆平工作的全球影响及其故事给我们的启示”完整地概括了本段的核心内容。
短文翻译
袁隆平与超级水稻
袁隆平是一位伟大的中国科学家。他热爱农业和植物。他看到许多人没有足够的食物吃。这让他非常难过。他想帮助他们。于是,他决定研究水稻,一种对人们非常重要的粮食。
他每天在稻田里非常努力地工作。这并不容易。他尝试了很多次,也失败了很多次。但他从未放弃。多年以后,他培育出一种特殊的稻种,叫做"超级水稻"。这种水稻能在同样的土地上长出更多的粮食。这是一个了不起的成功!
因为袁隆平的超级水稻,全世界数百万人有了充足的食物。他被称为"杂交水稻之父"。他的故事教导我们要为梦想而努力,并帮助他人。
