1、阅读下面短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。
There was a time when farmers were hard-working but only got a little. As an old poem(诗)goes, 1. “Who knows the meal in the dish, each rice is full of hard work.” At this time, Father of Hybrid Rice(杂交水稻), Yuan Longping, grew up.
After seeing many people die of hunger in the 1960s, Yuan started to challenge hybrid rice. He spent four years looking for a new kind of rice. In 1964, he found it! 2. 在1973年,他成功种植了世界上第一批杂交水稻。That’s why he is called “Father of Hybrid Rice”. But Chinese would like to call him Grandpa Yuan to show our love for him. Hybrid rice ended hunger for millions of people not only in China, but around the world. It is also grown in over 40 countries, including India, the US and Brazil. 3. 它已经成为现代中国最重要的发明之一。In fact, Grandpa Yuan is a normal person like you and me. For example, he liked to study English, geography and chemistry, but he wasn’t a fan of math. His hobbies included volleyball, swimming and violin. Yuan also loved to ride a motorcycle. 4. When he was in the face of difficulties, it was relaxing for him to ride it.
Grandpa Yuan once said he had two dreams. One was to enjoy the shade under rice crops and these crops were taller than men. The other was that people could grow hybrid rice all over the world. To our sadness, Grandpa Yuan passed away on May 22nd, at the age of 91. 5. But we Chinese people will remember him forever and try our best to make his dreams come true.

24、“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed Father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now... I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and codes of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered in the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: "Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his outrageous (蛮横的) words: "I can't throw you away, let alone these old papers?"
All the lights were off except Father's.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up (悄悄来到) in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love---is second to none.
【1】Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
A.b-e-d-c-a B.b-e-c-d-a C.b-e-a-c-d D.b-e-c-a-d
【2】What made the writer think of his childhood?
A.The sight of the street lights.
B.The sight of the empty street.
C.The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
D.The sight of light in his own house.
【3】Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?
A.Perhaps the father is getting older and older.
B.Perhaps the son has already grown up.
C.Perhaps they never agree with each other.
D.Perhaps the father has got used to doing that.

B.The father is actually kind to his son.
C.The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D.The father is always finding fault (过错) with his son.
25、An old farmer lived with his little grandson. Every day the farmer got up early to read books.
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I want to read books just like you, but I don’t understand them. What are the advantages of reading?” The grandfather said, “Take this little basket to the river and bring me back a basket of water.” The boy did so, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “ You’ll have to walk faster next time.”
This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. The boy said, “ See Grandpa, it’s useless!”
“So you think it is useless?” the old man said. “ Look at the basket.”
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It was clean, inside and out.
“That’s what happens when you read books. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read them, you will be changed, inside and out.”

26、To learn anything faster, just remember FAST!
The F in FAST stands for Forget.
If you want to speed up your brain, forget three things.
Forget what you already know about the subject. Your mind only works when it’s open.
Forget about anything that’s not urgent(紧急的)and important. If your brain is thinking about four different things, you’re not fully present—so you won’t learn quickly.
Forget your weakness in learning. Throw your thoughts like your memory isn’t good, or you’re a slow reader. Your memory isn’t fixed, and it is possible to remember more.
The A in FAST stands for ▲ .
In school, you learn by being active and creating information. Learning is not just watching and listening. You need to think hard, ask questions and take notes. The more active you are, the more you will learn.
The S in FAST stands for State.
Your state is the condition of your mind and body in that exact moment. All learning depends on your state. Many people don’t remember well at school because they are in a state of being bored. So choose to learn with joy, interest, and curiosity(好奇心).
The T in FAST stands for Teach.
If you want to learn better, try teaching it to somebody else.
If you have to give a talk on what you’re learning today, you would learn it differently. You would pay closer attention, take more careful notes and ask better questions. When you teach something, you get to learn it twice. If you can’t do something, you can teach it, and then you can do it.
【1】How many ways of fast-learning are mentioned in the passage?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
D.Five.
【2】Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ”?
A.Action
B.Active
C.Accept
D.Advice
【3】Which of the following shows the meaning of Teach in learning?
A.Asking somebody for help.
B.Studying together with others.
C.Remembering what you have learnt.
D.Telling somebody how you learn it.
【4】The best title for the passage can be ________.
A.To Learn Faster
B.To Teach Better
C.To Be More Careful
D.To Remember More
