When he was a boy, he was educated in many schools, and was given the nickname, “the student 2.who/that asks questions.”‎ He was interested in plants from 3.an early age, and he studied agriculture in college. 4.As a young teacher, he began experiments in crop breeding. He thought there was only one way 5.to have(have) more rice quickly. That was to cross different species of rice plant. Then he began his search 6.for a special type of rice plant. It had to be male and sterile. When the 7.naturally(nature) sterile male rice plant was discovered in 1970, it was a breakthrough. As a result, China's rice production rose 8.by 47.5% in the 1990's. And 50 thousand square kilometers of rice fields 9.were converted(convert) to growing vegetables and other cash crops. 10.Following(follow) this, Yuan Longping's rice was exported to some other countries.‎ ‎ [高考题型练]‎ Ⅳ.阅读理解 When Gitanjali Rao shared how she likes “finding solutions to real problems”， it was hard to imagine this dynamic girl could settle a problem that had escaped scientists for years.‎ In just three months, Rao came up with a device that can replace the costly and lengthy tests currently used to reliably determine lead levels in our fresh water. Inspired by the current litigation(诉讼) in Flint, Michigan, a case of water pollution from 2014 until present, Rao designed a new testing system that resulted in her being named “America's top young scientist” for 2017.‎ Rao had been following the water problem for about two years. She was amazed by the number of people affected by lead pollution in water and wanted to do something to change this. Rao spent months trying to convince local high schools and colleges to give her lab time to continue her experiment. At home, Rao worked on her project in the “science room” she asked her parents to create for her. Rao has created a device that uses three parts: a cartridge, a Bluetooth reader and an app. To put it simply, the cartridge contains carbon nanotubes(纳米管) that react to lead. This reaction is then registered by the Bluetooth reader, which sends a signal to a mobile app that can tell you immediately if your water is safe to drink.‎ Rao appropriately named the device Tethys and is hoping to make a little improvement to get the device on the market. While we may not be aware of any lead pollution present in our aging pipelines, lead poisoning can cause delays in physical and mental development. With Rao believing that “the purpose of science is to make 5‎ ‎ a difference”， her incredible invention could make a difference to millions of people in the United States.‎ 一个女孩发明了一款可以检测水中铅含量的装置，从而解决了一个多年来科学家忽视的问题。‎ ‎【熟词生义】lead　常用义：v.引领　生义：n.铅 put　常用义：v.放，安置　生义：v.表达 reader　常用义：n.读者　生义：n.阅读器 ‎1．What do we know about Rao's device?‎ A．It's cheap and quick.‎ B．It's cheap and inaccurate.‎ C．It's expensive and reliable.‎ D．It's portable and timeconsuming.‎ 解析 A　推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可推知，与以前又贵又费时的设备相比，Rao所发明的设备既便宜又省时，与第三段最后一句相呼应，故选A项。‎ ‎2．What made Rao have the idea of designing the device?‎ A．Her parents' suggestions.‎ B．Her desire for winning the award.‎ C．Her interest in settling real problems.‎ D．The water pollution litigation in Flint.‎ 解析 D　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，Rao设计这种装置的想法是受一起水污染诉讼的启发，故选D项。‎ ‎3．What do the carbon nanotubes function as?‎ A．Sending immediate signals.‎ B．Detecting the presence of lead.‎ C．Recording the reaction results.‎ D．Showing the water quality results.‎ 解析 B　细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句可知，这个碳纳米管可以对铅起反应，即可以检测出水中是否含有铅，故选B项。‎ ‎4．What does the author think of Rao's invention?‎ A．It will lead Rao to make a fortune.‎ B．It will help millions of Americans drink safe water.‎ C．It will promote the development of science in America.‎ D．It will soon settle the leadpolluted problem thoroughly.‎ 解析 B 5‎ ‎　观点态度题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，Rao的发明可以影响数百万美国人；再根据上文可知，该发明可以帮助检测饮用水的安全性，故选B项。‎ Ⅴ.七选五 Artificial Intelligence(AI) is a hot topic in the job market. While some people are anxious about how AI will change careers and how to look for jobs, there are a few very positive ways AI will impact the workforce.1‎ ‎•Analyse data better.‎ Everyone wants to know the data behind their company's strategy. 2 See a few numbers you don't like? These attheready statistics allow you to change direction quickly to avoid any profit or engagement decline.‎ ‎•Streamline(使合理化) the budget.‎ ‎3 With certain AI platforms, you'll be able to have your computer do the work for you.
