On May 24th 2021, Mnday, tw days after Yuan Lngping, knwn as “father f hybrid rice”, passed away at the age f 91, the farewell ceremny fr him was held in Changsha city, capital f Central China’s Hunan prvince.
Peple frm all walks f life, including many Hng Kng residents and stars, murned his passing away. One essential reasn why peple are murning Yuan, bth in the Chinese mainland and in Hng Kng Special Administrative Regin, is that he helped this natin get rid f the threat f hunger. That’s especially a matter f life and death t Hng Kng because it relies n imprt fr ver 95 percent f its fd.
As a cmmercial city, Hng Kng prduces little rice and almst imprts all its rice and majrity f vegetables and meat. The Chinese mainland is a main supplier f Hng Kng.
Accrding t Ta Kung Pa, the mainland pened three freight trains that were used t carry agricultural prducts t Hng Kng in the 1960s, which perated until rad transprtatin dminated the market in 2009. During the years, the trains transprted ver 100 millin pigs and calves, abut 1 billin pultry animals, and numerus vegetables, fruit and rice t Hng Kng.
As a prt city and internatinal financial and trade center, Hng Kng culd explit every piece f land with ptentials fr cmmercial use as well as inhabit the large numbers f residents. It is the mainland’s fd supply that makes it pssible fr Hng Kng t sustain its prsperity with little agriculture.
The abundant supply f fd in the mainland has much t d with Yuan’s hybrid rice. Actually, the Hng Kng peple, like their cmpatrits n the mainland, have never frgtten his cntributins. When Lui Che W Prize was established in 2015, the first sessin f sustainable develpment prize was awarded t Yuan. And his speech delivered after accepting that prize in Hng Kng Plytechnic University was als a welcme.
Nw Yuan has passed away, but his cntributins will be remembered frever.
4．The secnd paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A.Yuan was hnred by the sciety
B.Yuan was murned nly in the Chinese mainland
C.Yuan made great cntributins t his cuntry
D.Yuan prvided 95% fd fr Hng Kng
5．What des the underlined wrd “sustain” in Paragraph 5 mean?

6．What can we infer frm the passage?

The average bear, it seems, is getting ever smarter. First, it turned ut that at least ne can use a cmb. Nw it appears that sme can cunt, t.
Jennifer Vnk, frm Oakland University, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, frm Gergia State University, set three American black bears the task f distinguishing between numerically larger and smaller grups f dts(点) n a cmputer screen. In return fr a fd reward ne bear, Brutus, wuld tuch the mre heavily dtted pattern with his nse. The thers, Bella and Dusty, wuld tuch the screen with their claws.
As the researchers reprt in Animal Behavir, the bears did best with patterns where the clred dts did nt mve and where mre f them als tk up a larger clred area. This culd be explained by the bears' distinguishing the different areas f clr rather than truly cunting the dts. Hwever, the three bears managed t pick ut the bigger number f dts even in pairs f patterns where fewer dts tk up a larger area.
Mving patterns, where each dt fllwed its wn path arund the screen, were mre f a challenge. But Brutus, at least, was nt defeated. He seemed t be cunting mbile dts even when the scientists tried t mislead him by mving the ttal clred area f the dts at the same time.
It is nt entirely surprising that bears shuld have a high degree f intelligence. They face a lt f challenges when trying t get fd. They are, hwever, always alne, and s d nt have the cmplex scial systems that cntribute t animal smarts. Perhaps, then, their maths skill develped because they cannt cunt n their friends fr help.

10．What may explain the bears' high degree f intelligence?
A.They learn skills frm ther animals.B.They face life challenges n their wn.
C.They feed n a diverse range f fd.D.They have cmplex scial netwrks.
11．What can be a suitable title fr the text?

Fr centuries, Central America's Garifuna peple have kept the culture's spken histry alive thrugh their ancestrs' native language. But decades f mdernizatin, randm native-language training in Garifuna schls, intermarriage between cultures, and the ridicule(嘲笑) f yung peple wh speak the language, tgether led t Garifuna being listed n the UNESCO Atlas(地图集) f Endangered Languages in 2001.
The threat f language extinctin isn't new. Sme linguists estimate that a language dies every tw weeks, as sme languages becme imprtant tls fr scial and ecnmic exchange, while thers are pushed t the margins(边缘). But there are ways t save at-risk languages as well. The key is that the language needs t be thught f less as preserved, “but indeed part f their present and future life,” says Liliana Sánchez, a linguist and prfessr at the University f Illinis.
That's exactly what the Garinagu (Garifuna peple) are ding. Fr the past tw decades, Garifuna artists have used a cultural crnerstne-spirited dance music-t inspire yung Garinagu t learn and share their native language. Nw, with a new Garifuna Turism Trail prject in Belize, travelers can experience and supprt the cultural revival, t.
Palaci, a leader in the cultural revival, gathered Garifuna musicians acrss Central America t frm a band named the Garifuna Cllective in 2007. Their Garifuna lyrics sent a pwerful message: It's time t defend ur culture. With multiple wrld turs and internatinal music awards later, the Garifuna Cllective put Garifuna n the internatinal map and tk Belize alng with it. Althugh Palaci passed away in 2008, his lyrics and the wrk f Garifuna musicians lit a cultural flame fr Garinagu wrldwide.
Will music save the Garifuna language? Time will tell. Garifuna remains n UNESCO's endangered-language list, last updated in 2010. And, as the Hawaiians just learned frm revitalizing(使恢复生机) their wn language, this kind f revival is a lng, multi-generatinal rad.
12．What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A.The rigin f the Garifuna language.
B.Reasns fr Garifuna's being endangered.
C.The endangered languages f 2001.
D.Ways t save the Garifuna language.
13．What is Liliana Sánchez's pinin n saving at-risk languages?
A.They shuld be prtected by singing sngs.
B. They shuld be preserved as much as pssible.
C.They shuld be made use f in everyday life.
D.They shuld be advertised by turists.
14．Hw des the authr like Palaci's wrk?
A.Overwhelming.B.Challenging.C.Interesting.D.Rewarding.
15．What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A.Garifuna has been remved frm the list.
B.Music is sure t save the Garifuna language.
C.It'Il take great effrts t preserve Garifuna.
