During the past summer season, photos of snow leopards were taken by five different special cameras in Pingwu, Sichuan province, surprising many wildlife scientists. This shows that the living area of snow leopards in China’s southwestern mountains has become larger.

Pingwu, about 4,200 meters above the sea level, is famous for being home to a large number of wild pandas. The fourth national survey of pandas in 2015 found that there were 1,864 wild pandas in China, including 335 in Pingwu. As a result, over half of Pingwu’s land area has become part of the Panda National Park, which has a planned area of 22,000 square kilometers across Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. It is among five national parks China named in October, 2021.

Through shutting down mines ( 煤矿 ), planting more trees and other measures, protection efforts in the park have not only made pandas less endangered, but also are offering safety and protection for other rare species ( 珍稀物种 ). About 87% of the Panda National Park lies in Sichuan. It’s the home of more than 8,000 species of animals and plants.

The province has used special cameras and forest protectors as a closely connected protection system. Thousands of forest protectors have been working year-round on more than 900 routes. Over the past four years, they have met rare animals for about 1,600 times. In Pingwu alone, more than 4,100 species of plants and 1,900 species of animals have benefited from the protection of pandas. For example, the number of takin, a rare animal, has increased by 10% over the past ten years. Meanwhile, the protection of pandas causes the development of human society, too.

14 ． Why does the Panda National Park include Pingwu?

A ． Because Pingwu is about 4,200 meters above the sea level.

B ． Because there are 1,864 wild pandas in Pingwu.

C ． Because there are many wild pandas in Pingwu.

D ． Because it has an area of 22,000 square kilometers.

15 ． What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “benefited” in Paragraph 4?

A ．受益 B ．受害 C ．支持 D ．获得

16 ． Which is the best title of this passage?

A ． The Reasons for Protecting Pandas B ． Good Results of Protecting Pandas

C ． The Introduction of Pingwu D ． The Animals and Plants in Pingwu

Chinese astronaut Wang Yaping made history on November 7 when she became the country's first woman to do a spacewalk, according to the national space agency.

At the moment, Wang and Zhai Zhigang, two of the three members at China's new Tiangong space station, successfully completed the 6.5-hour spacewalk in the early hours of the morning of November 8, according to the China Manned Space Agency. The third astronaut of the Shenzhou-13 members, Ye Guangfu, stayed on the space station to support the spacewalk.

It's the first time the astronauts have left the space station since their arrival on October 16. Shortly after stepping out of the spaceship, Wang waved to audiences on Earth and said she felt great. During the spacewalk, the team fixed a suspension （悬挂） device and connectors to the station's robotic arm. They also tested the safety of supporting equipment （设备） , including the spacesuit produced by China.

Wang is China's second woman in space, after Liu Yang made history by joining the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft in 2012. Before Wang, only 15 women around the world had done spacewalks since 1984, when Soviet astronaut Svetlana Savitskaya became the first to do so. So far, most women spacewalkers have been American NASA astronauts.

The Shenzhou-13 members will do one or two more spacewalks during their six-month stay at the space station. This is not the first time astronauts have worked at Tiangong space station. In September, three other Chinese astronauts successfully completed a three-month stay at the station. By December 2022, China plans to have the station ready to be used—a great target that seems to be possible.

17 ． The Shenzhou-13 members arrived at the Tiangong space station on October 16.

18 ． During the 6.5-hour spacewalk, all the Shenzhou-13 members stepped out of the space station.

19 ． Wang is the 16th woman around the world who has done a spacewalk.

20 ． The main idea of this passage is about China's space travel.
