3. Today, it is estimated that about 60 percent of domestic rice consumption in China is comprised of crops generated from Yuan’s ybrid strains...
it is estimated that... “据估算...”, it是形式主语，that引导的从句是真正主语。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be动词用is。
generated from Yuan’s hybrid strains 是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰crops。

After Reading
This article is a narrative introducing a person. Structurally, the text is divided into six natural paragraphs, adopting a general-to-specific approach. The first paragraph directly introduces Yuan Longping's identity, his research field, remarkable achievements, as well as his physical characteristics. The second paragraph briefly explains Yuan Longping's reason for choosing agricultural research, describing how he opted for this path after witnessing farmers' production difficulties and extreme food shortages. Paragraphs three and four follow up on the food shortage issue mentioned earlier, elaborating on Yuan Longping's efforts and accomplishments in tackling this problem. Paragraph five serves as a transition, enriching Yuan Longping's vivid image as an agricultural scientist from another perspective.

The final paragraph introduces Yuan Longping's successful development of "sea rice."
The text begins and ends with dreams, inspiring readers to reflect. Overall, the article not only conveys the author's deep admiration for Yuan Longping but also fills readers with anticipation for new breakthroughs in the agricultural field.

Common hybrid crops include corn, rapeseed, sunflowers, and nearly all market vegetables. Some kinds of hybrid animals have been known for a long time, the most famous of which is the mule — which is a hybrid of a horse and a donkey. The concept of a hybrid is not restricted to plants and animals. For example, there are hybrid cars, which are powered by two different kinds of engines（e. g.，petrol and electric) at the same time.
