五、阅读理解
阅读短文，从每个小题的四个选项中，选出能回答所给问题或完成句子的最佳答案。
Zhou Lei is a researcher at the Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences(农业科学院). He won the China Youth May Fourth Medal. He also has made great progress in the improvement of rice over the years. So far he has bred(培育) 16 new kinds of rice, increasing grain production by more than
1.5 billion kilograms. This makes sure Chi-na has enough grain to feed its people.
Zhou has been offered chances to go abroad and exchange experience with oth-ers. One of the visits to the United States made Zhou realize that even though China was playing a leading role in rice research in the world, its agricultural industry was still behind that of other developed countries. After returning to China, Zhou began using his skills to help the country in agriculture. Instead of staying in an air-conditioned of-fice, Zhou spent most of his time in the fields. Breeding is hard, as it is heavily af-fected by sunlight and temperature. So Zhou always took care of his crops 24 hours a day.
Things don't always run smoothly. In August, southern China experienced very high temperatures. This had a serious influ-ence on the crops in Zhou's field. However, Zhou never got downhearted. Zhou believed it opened a window for him to do further study. He said, "Sometimes we just need to find ways to overcome high temperatures, and this also helps us choose the rice."
After going through tens of thousands of tries, Zhou and his team succeeded in creating new kinds of rice to meet the needs of people.
