China published its official document on biodiversity conservation on Oct 8,2021. It said

that China has achieved great results in biodiversity conservation.

In 2010, the China National Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and Action Plan (2011-

2030) was published. Since then, China has been working for a better ecological environment

through establishing and improving policies and laws, carrying out nationwide biodiversity

surveys, and putting into place various programs and action plans for biodiversity conservation.

Protected areas

There are about 10,000 protected natural areas, covering 18 percent of total land area. The

well-planned protected areas system has brought 90 percent of terrestrial ( 陆地的) ecosystem

types and 71 percent of key state-protected wildlife species under effective protection.

Plants

China has contributed up to 10 percent of the new plant varieties identified worldwide in

the past decade. In this period, the country identified about 200 new varieties of plants per

year.

Wild animals

The habitats for wild animals in China have been expanding and their populations are

growing. The population of giant pandas in the wild has grown from 1,114 to 1,864 over the

past four decades. The crested ibis ( 朱鹮) population has increased from only seven to over

5,000.

Greenness

China was the largest contributor to the world’s gain in greenness between 2000 and 2017.

The country contributed about 25 percent of global vegetation growth in the period and China’s

forest coverage and forest reserve areas have both continued to expand for the last 30 years.

B 原创题

He was the son of Liang Qichao, one of the famous thinkers of early-20th-century China.

But Liang Sicheng made a name for himself and is considered to be the “father of modern

Chinese architecture”.

2021 marks the 120th anniversary of his birth. To celebrate it, an exhibition – Liang: the

Overarching – is being held at the Tsinghua University Art Museum until Oct 20. More than

300 photos, videos, drawings, models, letters and other items are displayed.

Liang studied architecture in the US. But he had a strong interest in Chinese architecture and

returned to China in 1928 after receiving his master’s degree. In the 1930s and 1940s, Liang

devoted himself to documenting ancient Chinese buildings and sharing his knowledge with the

public.

According to CCTV, Liang and his wife Lin Huiyin visited more than 2,700 historical

buildings across China. They measured and documented the structures. It wasn’t an easy task.

Most of these buildings were located in distant parts of the country. So the couple had to “travel

muddy , poorly maintained roads by mule, rickshaw (黄包车) or on foot”, noted The New York

Times. But they never gave up. Their hard work paid off when Liang published his book, A

History of Chinese Architecture , which was the first of its kind.

As Liang once wrote, “Architecture is the epitome (缩影) of society, the symbol of the people

... and the crystallization of the human race… once destroyed, it is irrecoverable.”

With this in mind, Liang worked hard to keep old buildings. After the People’s Republic of

China was founded in 1949, he worked as one of Beijing’s city planners. Liang advised that a

new administrative center for government buildings should be built west of the Forbidden City,

far away from the Inner City. All of Beijing’s ancient gates and city walls should be kept.

Sadly, his advice was not accepted at that time.

Liang also helped young Chinese people get the chance to learn about architecture. He

founded the Architecture Department of Northeast University in 1928 and of Tsinghua

University in 1946. According to Princeton University, which awarded Liang an honorary

doctoral degree in 1947, he was “a creative architect who has also been a teacher of

architectural history, a pioneer in historical research and exploration in Chinese architecture

and planning, and a leader in the restoration and preservation of the priceless monuments of his

country”.

4. Qinghua University held the exhibition in order to ____________ .

A. show the happy life of Liang and Lin Huiyin

B. celebrate the 120th anniversary of Liang’s birth

C. honor the a great thinker--Liang Qichao

D. popularize the development of Chinese architecture

5. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Liang got the doctor’s degree before he went back to China to work

B. Beijing government valued his advice in city planning

C. Liang made great contribution in recording the historic building

D. Liang was the founder of Architecture Department of Tongji University

6. All of the following are the titles Princeton University awarded Liang EXCEPT________ .

A. a revolutionist B. a pioneer C.an architect D.a leader

7. What is author’s attitude towards Liang?

A. accuse and blame B. disapprove and object

C.doubt and question D. respect and admire

At the start of the 20th century, an American engineer named John Elfreth Watkins made

predictions about life today. His predictions about slowing population growth, mobile phones

and increasing height were close to the mark. But he was wrong in one prediction: that

everybody would walk 10 miles a day.

Today, in Australia, most children on average fall 2, 000 steps short of the physical

activity they need to avoid being overweight. In the early 1970s, 40 per cent of children walked

to school, while in 2010, it was as low as 15 per cent.

The decline is not because we have all become lazy. Families are pressed for time, many

with both parents working to pay for their house, often working hours not of their choosing,

living in car-dependent neighborhoods with limited public transport.

The other side of the coin is equally a deprivation: for health and well-being, as well as

lost opportunities for children to get to know their local surroundings. And for parents there are

lost opportunities to walk and talk with their young scholar about their day.

Most parents will have eagerly asked their child about their day, only to meet with a

“good”, quickly followed by "I'm hungry". This is also my experience as a mother. But

somewhere over the daily walk more about my son's day comes out. I hear him making sense

of friendship and its limits. This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more.

Many primary schools support walking school-bus routes, with days of regular, parent-

accompanied walks. Doing just one of these a few times a week is better than nothing. It can be

tough to begin and takes a little planning---running shoes by the front door, lunches made the

night before, umbrellas on rainy days and hats on hot ones-but it's certainly worth trying.
