Road to Hybrid Rice
Born in a poor farmer's family in 1930 and as a graduate of Southwest Agricultural College in 1953,Yuan Longping began his teaching career at an agricultural school in Anjiang,Hunan Province.
He came up with an idea for hybridising rice in the 1960s,when China was suffering a severe famine1 that led to many deaths.Since then,he had been devoting himself to the research and development of a better rice breed.
In 1964,Yuan happened to find a natural hybrid rice plant that had obvious advantages over others.Greatly encouraged,he began to study the elements of this particular type.
In 1973,in cooperation with others,Yuan was finally able to establish a complete process of creating and reproducing high-yielding hybrid rice species.The next year they successfully cultivated2 a type of hybrid rice species which had great advantages.It yielded 20 percent more per unit than that of common ones,putting China in the lead worldwide in rice production.For this achievement,Yuan was called the “father of hybrid rice”.
In 1979,Yuan's technique for hybrid rice was introduced into the United States,the first case of intellectual property rights3 transfer in the history of China.

句 型 剖 析
1.【教材原文】However,what concerned him most was that farmers often had poor harvests and sometimes even had a serious shortage of food to eat.(page 50)
然而,他最关心的是农民经常粮食歉收,有时甚至出现严重的食物短缺。
句法分析
句中what concerned him most为主语从句,what在从句中作主语;that引导表语从句,在从句中不作成分,也没有任何意义。
that和what都可以引导名词性从句。that引导名词性从句只起连接作用,在从句中不作任何成分,无意义,在宾语从句中通常省略,但在主语从句、表语从句和同位语从句中均不能省略;除引导从句外,what本身在从句中可作主语、宾语或表语,意为“……的(东西)”,在含义上相当于“名词+that”。
语境领悟
(1)What surprised me most was that the thin girl should have won three gold medals.
最让我惊讶的是这个瘦弱的女孩竟然获得了三枚金牌。
(2)Show me what you have bought.

2.【教材原文】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.(page 50)
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。
句法分析
这个句子的真正主语是从句“that about 60 percent...per year”。因为真正的主语太长,为了避免句子头重脚轻,所以用形式主语it,构成“It+be+过去分词+that”句式。
英语中还有许多类似的结构,如:It is said/believed/reported that...。有时,该句型可以转换为“Sb/Sth+be said/believed/ reported+to do”或“People say/believe/report...that...”的形式。
语境领悟
(1)It is estimated that the meeting will last four days.
这次会议预计要持续四天。
(2)The building is estimated to be completed in ten months.
预计大楼十个月可以完工。
(3)People estimate that the damage was over one million dollars.

3.【教材原文】Given that Yuan's hybrids made him quite wealthy,one might think he would have retired to a life of leisure.(page 51)
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。
句法分析
given that意思是“考虑到”,相当于considering that。given可用作介词,表示“只要是;考虑到”等,后面可以直接加名词,相当于considering。

写一篇表达观点的文章
写 作 指 导
本单元的写作任务是写一篇“支持有机农业”这一观点的短文,从体裁上来说,属于议论文。发表议论就是通过说理来表达作者的见解和主张。为了使他人同意自己的看法,提出若干理由,以期达到说服别人的目的。
在结构上,议论文通常分为三段:第一段为引言,简要介绍要讨论的问题并明确提出自己的观点;第二段为主体段,通过足够的证据来论证自己的观点;第三段为结论,可以用一两句话来总结全文,同时要注意与首段相呼应。
写评论性的文章尤其要注意两点:一是要有明确的观点或立场。无论是从正面或是从反面评价一个事物,都要通过正向或反向推理来佐证自己的观点。二是要总结自己的感想,这是短文凝聚升华的部分,可以通过举例来证明自己的感想。

妙 笔 成 篇
Recently our class held a heated discussion on chemical farming and organic farming.Personally,the latter is what our society needs to advocate.The reasons are as follows.
On the one hand,chemical farming uses lots of chemical fertilisers.The chemicals staying inside the crops often lead to illnesses.Also,the vegetables grow so fast that they contain little nutrition.On the other hand,organic produce is
becoming increasingly popular with customers,who attach great importance to health.Besides,organic produce simply uses natural fertilisers,making vegetables and fruit tasty. Moreover,the produce grows in the clean soil and never uses pesticides,which is beneficial to our health.
As the saying goes,health is the first wealth in life.So,it is wiser to choose organic food.

When it comes to the advantages of urban life,what comes into our minds are
参考范文
When it comes to the advantages of urban life,what comes into our minds are the well-established transportation system,quality education and health care as well as comfortable living conditions,which are the main attractions of modern city life.
However,as a result of the widespread use of modern vehicles and boosting industry,there are some disadvantages that can’t be ignored.For instance,traffic jams have become a big headache for the people driving to and from work. Besides,noises and harmful smoke pose a threat to people’s health.
Despite the disadvantages above,I still think it suitable for people to live in the city where there are various cultural events and people can enjoy the convenience of modern life.(共46张PPT)

句 型 剖 析
1.【教材原文】As for chemical fertilisers,crops grown with them usually grow too fast to be rich in nutrition.(page 55)
至于化学肥料,用其施肥的作物通常生长过快而营养不足。
句法分析
句中的too fast to be rich in nutrition为too...to...结构。too...to...意为“太……而不能……”,表示否定含义。在该结构中,too为副词,修饰形容词或其他副词。to为不定式,后跟动词原形。不定式作结果状语,常用主动形式,其逻辑主语有时是句子的主语;若不是,不定式的逻辑主语通常由for引出。
有时“too...to...”也表示肯定意义:
too后跟ready、eager、willing、pleased、glad、anxious等表示心情、心理活动状态或心理倾向的形容词时;too前有but、only、all等词对其进行修饰时;否定词not、never等用在too前时。

种植不同作物的原因,是为了把重要的矿物质重新放回土壤之中,让土壤为下一批作物做好准备。
句法分析
句中的making it ready...是动词-ing形式短语作结果状语。动词-ing形式短语作结果状语,相当于一个并列谓语,表示的是谓语动词的直接结果,是意料中的结果。
动词-ing形式短语作结果状语时常用逗号与主句隔开,表示与主句的动作之间有必然的因果关系,有时在其前加副词thus;动词不定式作结果状语往往表示出乎意料的结果或不好的结果,而且不定式前常加only。在这种情况下,不定式的逻辑主语也可能是全句的主语。

语 法 精 析
主语从句
一、主语从句的含义
在英语中,有的从句在复合句中的作用相当于名词,称作名词性从句。复合句中用作主语的从句叫主语从句。
二、主语从句的基本用法
1.主语从句的引导词
类别 引导词 说明
连词 that、whether 两者在从句中均不作成分,只起连接作用;that无实义,whether表示“是否”
连接代词 Who、what、which、 Whoever、whatever等 在从句中作主语、宾语、表语、定语等成分
连接副词 When、where、how、why等 在从句中作时间、地点、方式、原因状语等成分
(1)由连词that引导的主语从句:引导词that无含义,在句中不作成分,不可以省略。
That he hasn’t phoned is strange.
他没来电话是很奇怪的。
That you are so indifferent bothers me.
你如此冷淡使我很烦恼。
(2)由连词 whether引导的主语从句:whether表示“是否”, 不可以省略。
Whether she is coming is still unknown.
她来不来还不知道。
(3)由连接代词who、whose、whom、which、what、whoever、whomever、whichever、whatever引导的主语从句:连接代词在句中起名词作用,充当一定成分。
What you need is more practice.
你所需要的是更多的训练。
Whatever we do is to serve the people.
我们无论做什么都要为人民服务。
(4)由连接副词when、where、why、how引导的主语从句:连接副词有含义,在句中作状语。
When they will come hasn’t been made public.
他们什么时候来还没有公之于众。
温馨提示　主语从句中连接词的选择技巧:
在确定主语从句中连接词的时候,可以根据连接词在从句中所作的语法成分和连接词在从句中的意义两方面进行考虑。
2.it作形式主语
为了避免主语显得过长,尤其是陈述句作主语从句时,可以用it作句子的形式主语,把主语从句移到句子的末尾。
句型 说明
It +系动词+形容词+主语从句. 常用于此句型的形容词有important、
(un)likely、possible、necessary、natural、wrong等
It+系动词+名词+主语从句. 常用于此句型的名词有fact、idea、honour、question、pity等
句型 说明
It+系动词+过去分词+主语从句. 常用于此句型的过去分词有known、
proved、said、decided、suggested、
thought、reported等
It+不及物动词+主语从句. 常用于此句型的动词有appear、happen、seem、occur、matter等
It's possible that he has been to Beijing.
他有可能去过北京。
It is reported that a space station will be built on the moon in years to come.
报道说未来几年里月球上将建造空间站。
It seems that it is going to rain.
看起来好像要下雨。
It's a fact that she has done her best.
她尽了最大努力,这是事实。
温馨提示　(1)在“It + 系动词 + 形容词 + 主语从句.”句型中,如果形容词为necessary、important、strange、natural等时,从句谓语动词常用“(should+)动词原形”。
It is important that he (should) know about this.
他应该知道此事是重要的。
(2)在“It + 系动词 + 过去分词 + 主语从句.”句型中,如果过去分词为suggested、advised、ordered、requested、required等时,从句谓语动词使用“(should+)动词原形”。
It is suggested that the sports meeting(should) be put off.
有人建议推迟举行运动会。
三、主语从句中应注意的问题
1.从句要用陈述语序
How he succeeded finally is still a puzzle.
他最后是如何成功的仍然是个谜。
2.主语为从句的主谓一致
(1)主语为从句时,谓语动词一般要用单数形式,但如果what引导的从句作主语,代表复数概念(常可从表语上看出)时,谓语动词常用复数形式。
What I need is your help.
我所需要的是你的帮助。
What the school needs most are books.
这所学校最需要的是书。
(2)如果由and连接两个或两个以上的主语从句作主语时,谓语动词用复数;由两个或多个连接词引导一个主语从句时,谓语动词用单数。
When they will start and where they will go have not been decided yet.
他们将在什么时候动身以及要去哪里还没定下来。
When and where they will hold the meeting is not clear.
他们何时何地召开会议还不清楚。
3.需要辨别以下几组引导词
(1)whatever和whoever
whatever和whoever可以引导主语从句,并在从句中作主语、宾语、表语等。此外,它们还可以引导让步状语从句,可以转换成no matter what/who的形式。
Whatever she did was right.
她做的一切都是对的。(主语从句)
Keep calm,whatever/no matter what happens.
不管发生什么事都要保持镇静。(让步状语从句)
(2)what和that
what既有引导主语从句的作用,同时又在从句中作句子成分(主语、宾语、表语等)。这时what相当于all that/everything that...,常译成“……的(东西、事情、话等)”;而that只起连接作用,本身无实际意义,在从句中也不担当任何句子成分。但that引导的主语从句放在句首时,不能省略that。
What we need is more time.
我们所需要的是更多的时间。(what作主语)
That he is still alive is a wonder.他还活着,真是奇迹。
