Unit 2 Inspiring People 第五课时 Section B 1a-1d I.阅读理解 Born in 1958, in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Huang Danian had an interest in geophysics from an early age. He spent his whole life on science, making many sacrifices（牺牲）along the way and eventually went to the United Kingdom for further study in 1993． In 2008, China launched a national project calling for the world’s top talents named the Thousand-Talent Program（千人计划）. It encouraged overseas Chinese and foreign professionals to work in China, and Huang decided this was his calling. He quit his job in the UK, sold his property and belongings and returned home. Huang was invited to be the chief scientist of China's biggest deep-Earth exploration program at Jilin University in Changchun, in northeast China.The program aimed to install（安装）high-tech cameras on planes, ships and satellites, which would enable them to see through the Earth's crust（地壳）.Although China has some advantages in underground exploration（探索）and undersea detection, it was well behind the rest of the world in this area. Huang got straight down to it and his efforts soon paid off. China narrowed the gap with the developed countries in getting correct data on deep-Earth exploration. Thanks to a number of inspiring scientists, such as Huang, China is now becoming a leading power in this technology. Huang died of cancer at the age of 58 in winter. A bright star in the world of science had fallen, leaving the scientific world in huge sadness.

This special bank stores life 1 money.It's called the Germplasm Bank of Wild Species in Southwest China. Its seed bank, the largest one in Asia, keeps nearly 100,000 collections from over 11,000 kinds of wild plants. We learned that many scientists made great 2 to fill this bank. They climbed mountains and traveled through forests to collect 3 seeds. One scientist, Li Heng, led more than 20trips to high mountains-even after she got badly hurt from falling from a horse during the work. But 4 could stop her.She often said to her team, “Choose one thing, and give yourself to it.” Another scientist, Guo Yongjie, collected seeds from Mount Qomolangma at 6, 212 meters above sea level. This is the 5 place ever for collecting plant seeds. He spent over 200 days a year in the wild, just to 66 one more kind of plant seed to the bank. “A seed is hope，” one scientist shared. These seeds are not just tiny plant parts; they carry genes（基因）that may help us grow better crops（庄稼）,make new medicines, or 7 the lost forests. But some kinds of plants are disappearing, and we may lose them forever. Therefore, collecting these seeds is a race 8 time. It is a job that needs patience, 9 and love. As we left the bank, we had a deeper 10 for the scientists who have spent their lives on this quiet but great work. The seeds they save carry life, hope, and a better future for all living things on the earth.
