4. Today, it is estimated that about 60 percent of domestic rice consumption in China is comprised of crops generated from Yuan’s hybrid strains, and his strains have allowed China’s farmers to produce around 200 million tons of rice per year.
据估算现在中国国内消费的稻米有大约60%来自袁隆平的杂交水稻品种形成的作物，这些品种形成的作物让中国农民每年能够生产出大约两亿吨稻米。
it is estimated that... 是一个主语从句，it 充当的是形式主语，真正的主语为
that后面的部分。在that引导的从句中，主语about 60 percent of domestic rice consumption由 “百分数+of+名词”构成，谓语动词的数应与名词的数保持一致。consumption是不可数名词，故谓语动词用is.
generated from是过去分词作后置定语，修饰crops.
5. Given that Yuan’s hybrids have made him quite wealthy, one might think he would retire to a life of leisure. However, this is far from the case.
考虑到杂交水稻使袁隆平变得相当富有，人们可能认为他会退休享受闲适的生活。然而，事实远非如此。

他的工作一点也不令人满意。
7. Deep down, Yuan is still very much a farmer at heart.
事实上，袁隆平在内心深处依然是一个农民。
deep down 实际上；在心底
e.g. He tried to behave as an adult, but deep down he was still a child.
very much 非常；确实是，在文中表示程度，起强调作用
e.g. Kindness is very much a part of her character.
Learning English is very much a step-by-step process.
8. What impresses people most about Yuan Longping is his ongoing ability to fulfil his dreams.

What impresses people most about the city is its cultural diversity.
