A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLE
Although he is one of China’s most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers himself a farmer, for he works the land to do his research.Indeed， his sunburnt face and arms and his slim，strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers，for whom he has struggled for the past five decades.Yuan Longping grows what is called superhybrid rice.In 1973，he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output.This special strain ? of rice makes it possible to produce 20% more of the crop? in the same fields．Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain. ◆for whom he has struggled为“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，相当于whom he has struggled for。
◆what is called super hybrid rice是what引导的宾语从句，what在从句中作主语。 ◆动词不定式to grow rice作后置定语，修饰the first agricultural pioneer。当名词前有序数词或形容词最高级修饰时，用动词不定式作定语。that引导定语从句，修饰先行词rice，且that在从句中作主语，不能省略。
◆本句中it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是to produce 20% more of the crop in the same fields。 ◆过去分词短语produced in China作后置定语，修饰rice。
Born in 1930, Yuan Longping graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953.Since then, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal.As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output.At that time, hunger? was a disturbing? problem in many parts of the countryside.Yuan Longping searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding? the area of the fields.In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce about fifty-six million tons of rice.In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced.These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world’s people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in the world.Yuan Longping is now circulating? his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less developed countries? to increase their rice harvests.Thanks to? his research, the UN has more
21
tools? in the battle? to rid the world of○ hunger.Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing ①
②
③④⑤
⑥
⑦⑧⑨
⑩
harvests twice as large as before. ◆动词-ing短语finding ways to grow more rice在句中作主语，动词不定式短语to grow more rice作定语，修饰ways。
◆过去分词increased作定语，修饰harvests。
◆现在分词短语Using his hybrid rice作状语。
◆twice as large as...……的两倍大，属于“倍数＋as＋形容词/副词原级＋as”的倍数表达法。

Yuan Longping is quite satisfied with○ his life.However, he doesn’t care about○ being 2425
famous.He feels it gives him less freedom○to do his research.He would much rather○ keep time 26for○his hobbies.He enjoys listening to violin music, playing mah-jong，swimming and
reading.Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also means very little to
27him.Indeed, he believes that a person with too much money has more rather than○ fewer 2829troubles.He therefore○ gives millions of yuan to equip○others for their research in agriculture.
◆动词-ing短语Spending money...life在句中作主语，谓语动词mean用第三人称单数形式。
Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing.Long ago Yuan Longping had a dream about
303132rice plants as tall as sorghum○.Each ear of rice○ was as big as an ear of corn and each grain○ of 3334rice was as huge as a peanut○.He awoke from his dream with the hope of○ producing a kind of
rice that could feed more people．Now, many years later, Yuan Longping has another dream: to
35export○his rice so that it can be grown around the globe．One dream is not always enough, 36especially for a person who loves and cares for○ his people．
◆that could feed more people是that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a kind of rice。 ◆so that it can...globe中，so that引导目的状语从句。 ◆who在此引导定语从句，修饰先行词a person。
造福全人类的先驱者
虽然他是中国最著名的科学家之一，袁隆平却认为自己是个农民，因为他耕种土地来进行研究。的确，他那被太阳晒得黝黑的脸庞和手臂，以及他那瘦削而又结实的身躯，就跟其他千百万中国农民一样，过去50年来，他一直在努力帮助他们。袁隆平种植的是被称为“超级杂交水稻”的稻种。1973年，他成为世界上第一位种植高产水稻的农业先驱。这种特殊的稻种使得同样的田地多收获20%的产量成为可能。如今中国每年生产的稻米中超过60%出自这种杂交水稻。
袁隆平出生于1930年，1953年毕业于西南农学院。从那时起，找到生产更多稻米的方法就成了他的人生目标。年轻时，他就看到了稻米增产的巨大需求。当时，饥饿是困扰许多农村地区的问题。袁隆平要在不增加土地面积的基础上寻求增收稻米的途径。1950年，中国农民能生产大约五千六百万吨稻米，而近来却生产了将近两亿吨稻米。这一粮食产量的增加意味着中国仅用7%的耕地养活了世界上22%的人口。袁隆平目前正在印度、越南和很多其他欠发达国家传播提高水稻产量的知识。多亏了他的研究，联合国在消除世界饥饿的战斗中有了更多的方法。用他的杂交水稻种子，农民们种出的粮食比以前多了一倍。
