38、，中国科学院的科学家袁隆平领导了国家杂交水稻研究，他自豪地宣布了亩产1 500公斤(0.067公顷)的新纪录。分析句子结构可知，本句先行词为a scientist，指人，关系词在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词who引导定语从句。故填who。3考查非谓语动词。句意：与其他市场高产杂交品种相比，第三代应变的平均收益率高出1020%。compare与其逻辑主语the average yield for the third-generation strain之间是被动关系，用过去分词作状语。故填Compared。4考查副词。句意：我非常兴奋，对结果非常满意。形容词satisfied前用副词修饰。故填
39、extremely。5考查名词。句意：这些成果不仅对中国具有重要意义，而且对整个世界都具有重要意义。固定结构be of抽象名词，相当于be形容词。故填significance。6考查冠词。句意：袁隆平的成就对全球抗击饥饿做出了重大贡献。名词global fight against hunger是特指具体事件，所以用定冠词the。故填the。7考查介词。句意：没有袁隆平和他的团队，这一成就是不可能的。分析句意可知，这里是“没有”的意思。故填without。8考查动词时态。句意：在过去的60年里，他教过几代学生。根据时间状语In the last 60 years，可知要用现在完成时。故填has
40、taught。9考查连词。句意：袁隆平说，他仍然头脑清醒，希望工作到100岁。分析句意可知，这里是“直到”的意思。故填until。10考查连词。句意：在各个领域都有很多像袁隆平这样的科学家，所以中国将享有长期的繁荣。本句前半句是解释原因，后半句中国繁荣是结果，所以用连词so。故填so。.应用文写作(2021重庆市第八中学高三下新高考“二诊”)假如你是李华。你们学校正在进行科技节的活动，你所在的学生会组织了一场介绍屠呦呦以及她的成就的讲座。请根据以下内容，用英文写一则通知，邀请感兴趣的学生来参加讲座。1通知的目的；2讲座的主题以及举办时间及地点；3简要介绍屠呦呦及她的成就：(1)1930年出生于
