Netizens name the “father of hybrid rice” for Nobel prize

  BEIJING, Nov.25-If netizens, rather than a selected group of experts, could choose Nobel Peace Prizes, a Chinese scientist might be a winner.

  An Internet post last Tuesday calling for Chinese agricultural scientist Yuan Longping to be awarded next year’s Nobel Peace Prize got 20 000 votes by this Friday.Yuan is known as the “father of hybrid rice” in China.

  A post written by a netizen called “Tiannan Dibei” on bbs.rednet.cn called for Yuan’s nomination.It cited Nobel Peace Laureate Mother Teresa in 1979 for her contribution to global charity, and Norman Borlaug in 1970 for his invention of a high-yield wheat useful for developing countries.

  “The Nobel Peace Prize does not limit its winners to politicians and organizations devoted to the prevention of war, ” the post said.“It’s also open to people and organizations who try to eliminate problems and narrow the wealth gap.”

  “Elimination of poverty and hunger is creating peace, ”it said.“With his extraordinary contribution to grain growth in the country and the world, Yuan is fully qualified for the prize.”

  The Beijing News reported that a member of the Nobel Committee said in a meeting with students of Tsinghua Unversity in March that China is likely to make breakthroughs in the Nobel literature and peace prizes.

  This year’s Nobel Peace Prize went to Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank for their continuous efforts to grant small sum loans to the poor.

  This Friday, more than 94 percent of more than 8500 people surveyed were in favor of Yuan getting the prize.

  Yuan, a household name in China, is regarded as the most famous farmer in the country.He is noted for inventing a form of rice with a much higher yield than average crops.

  With more than half of China’s paddy fields growing Yuan’s rice, his invention has fed millions of people in the world’s most populous country.

  His “super rice” has also been introduced to more than 20 other countries.

 (2)读写任务:(共25分)

  阅读下面的短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

   People used to say, “ The hand that rocks the cradle(摇篮) rules the world.” And “ Behind every successful man there is a woman.”

   Both these saying mean the same thing . Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them. Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want to be as successful as men.

   The American women’s liberation(解放) movement was started by women who didn’t want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They refused to work side by side by side with men who did the same work for a higher pay.

   This movement is quite new, and many American women don’t agree yet. But it has already made some important changes in women’s lives—in men’s lives, too. Liberated women are proud of being a woman and have confidence in themselves. More and more women are holding important positions in companies, institutions and politics. More people than ever have realized that women deserve as much respect as men.

(写作内容)

1).以约30词概括短文大意。

2)就“男女平等”这个主题发表你的看法,至少包含以下内容要点,该部分词数大约120;

   a.妇女在家庭和社会中的地位的今与昔;

   b.妇女的贡献,妇女应该受到尊重;(contribution贡献)

   c.你认为怎样才能实现真正的男女平等。(real equality)

(写作要求)

   可以使用实例或其他论述方法支持你的论点,也可以参照阅读材料的内容,但不得抄袭材料中的句子。
