本文介绍了云南花卉研究所培育出以因公殉职的基层干部贺娇龙命名的粉色月季“娇龙”。该月季经网络投票定名后，被送往新疆昭苏，旨在纪念贺娇龙为当地发展所作的贡献，传递其坚韧精神，深化云南与新疆的情谊，引发网友缅怀与致敬。
1. D 推理判断题。由“They are just like He's personality.”可知，研究者在第四段中提及月季花瓣坚韧是为了将其比作贺娇龙坚强的品格。
2. B 词义猜测题。根据前文“... the rose has soft pink flowers and strong petals. They are just like He's personality.”以及后文“Although the flower looks gentle, it is not weak. It is strong and firm.”可知，petals是花的组成部分，对应“花瓣”，即花的柔软部分，与B选项含义一致。
3. B 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Since 2020, she had helped hundreds of local businesses.”可知，贺娇龙帮助了当地数百个商家，由此推断出她的工作改善了当地人的生活。
4. C 写作意图题。文章主要报道云南省花卉研究所培育出“娇龙”月季，以此向因公牺牲的基层干部贺娇龙表达敬意。
