五、阅读短文，完成下列任务
On World Food Day, harvesters worked busily in China's main farming areas. Farmers were gathering a good harvest while facing some weather problems.
In Shandong Province, farmers used different ways to deal with heavy rain. In Wenshang County, 65 drying machines were working hard to dry corn and prevent it from going bad. The county now has 38 grain drying centres that can dry 9,500 tonnes of grain each day—five times more than in 2020.
Science and technology are helping Chinese farming become more advanced. In Heilongjiang Province, a farm cooperative used over 70 large harvesters to gather soybeans quickly. The leader of the cooperative said warm weather helped crops grow well this year. They also used new methods like drone spraying and special planting techniques to increase soybean production. These techniques are now used on millions of hectares of farmland in the province.
Across China, there are over 66.7 million hectares of high-quality farmland where technology helps protect the soil.
Chinese farmers are also trying new types of crops that produce more food. In Liaoning Province, an experimental field is growing six kinds of super rice for farmers to see and choose from. One farmer said he often visits to learn which type is best. Last year, his rice field produced 11,250 kg per hectare.
Shenyang city also held a "seed selection contest" where farmers could compare 54 new rice varieties.
China now produces over 700 million tonnes of grain each year. Technology accounts for more than 63% of this success.
China also shares its farming experience with other countries. It has built 24 agricultural technology centres in Africa, helping increase crop production there by 30—60% and sharing Chinese knowledge with the world.
