23、As the Chinese saying goes, a seed can change the world; a variety can benefit a nation. Zhang Daorong, who has spent the last 26 years cultivating 13 new varieties of wheat and contributing to national food security efforts, has done both.

After graduating from the Heilongjiang Bayi Agricultural University in Daqing, Heilongjiang province, in 1996, Zhang has been working as a researcher at the Xiangyang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Hubei province. Though the working conditions and incomes she received at that moment were not satisfying, she ploughed on and devoted herself to the research of wheat varieties.

Agricultural research work was hard and complicated. First she led her colleagues to suitable parental types for a specific cultivation purpose. Then, the team tried a hybrid combination. After several generations of trial and selection, and when characteristics remained steady, they began a two-year process of yield testing and disease identification. After several more rounds of tests, an application for evaluation and approval was made to provincial or national authorities for market production.

The wheat varieties developed by Zhang and her colleagues have been grown on 2 million hectares of farmland and have generated net profits of over 100 million yuan. One of them produces large seed heads and is highly resistant to stripe rust; another is highly resistant to pre-harvest sprouting, which results in a decrease of the grain yield.

Today, the 50-year-old, known as the “mother of wheat”, still works on the land. She considers it her responsibility to work hard and contribute to food safety, especially when the domestic and global economy still face headwinds from the COVID-19 pandemic. “Agricultural research work is hard and complicated. All we can do is think more, discuss more, ask more questions and find answers on the land.” she said.

A．Her work is important and demanding.

B．She got highly paid when she worked in Hubei.

C．She retired after being titled “mother of wheat”.

【2】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．What difficulty Zhang met in the research.

B．How Zhang and her team did agricultural research.

C．What contributions Zhang made to Chinese agriculture.

D．Why Zhang and her team developed a hybrid wheat type.

【3】Which of the following can best describe Zhang Daorong?

B．Determined and honest.

C．Responsible and devoted.

D．Modest and knowledgeable.

【4】What’s the writing purpose of the passage?

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Late in December, a heavy storm hit the town, and the worst blow fell on a little church — a huge flake of plaster (石膏) fell out of the wall in the church. Sorrowfully, the pastor (牧师) swept away the mess, but he couldn’t hide the break. He was so upset. “Christmas is only two days away!” he said.

That afternoon the sad pastor attended a sale,at which a beautiful gold-and-ivory tablecloth got his attention. It seemed from a bygone era (时代). “Who, today, had any use for such a thing?” The pastor came up with an idea and paid six dollars for it. Back at the church, the pastor pinned the cloth on the wall. It completely hid the break. Happily, the pastor continued to prepare for Christmas.

Just before noon on the day of Christmas Eve, when opening the church, the pastor noticed a woman standing in the cold at the bus stop. “The bus won’t be here for 40 minutes!” he called, and he invited her into the church to get warm. The woman said that she had gone for an interview for a job as a teacher, but was turned down because of imperfect English.

When the woman sat down in the church, she noticed the tablecloth. She walked to it and touched it with her fingers. “It is mine!” she said in surprise. She lifted a corner and showed the pastor a name on the cloth. “My husband had the cloth made especially for me years ago! He had my name embroidered on it.”

For the next few minutes, the woman explained that she was from Austria and she and her husband left the country because of the war. On their run, they were separated accidentally and never met each other again. Hearing of her experience, the pastor tried to comfort her and urged her to take the cloth with her. But the woman refused.

As Christmas Eve started, it was clear that the cloth was a great success. It had been designed to look its best by candle light. After the service, people told the pastor that the church looked beautiful.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

In the crowd, one gentle-faced middle-aged man looked at the tablecloth confusedly.
