Over the past tw years, Liu Yijing, a strm chaser frm Nanchang, has traveled nearly 27,000 kilmeters t recrd strms in 11 prvinces. When he was a kid, Liu liked t read ppular science picture bks and watch the weather frecast, becming excited whenever he saw strms and ther weather. In 2018, when playing with an ld camera at hme, Liu accidentally tk dzens f pictures f lightning. He psted them nline and received many likes, arusing his great interest in shting strms.
But it’s never easy t sht amazing pictures abut ever-changing strms. Every time, Liu needs t find an area where strms culd appear and then mark the best shting psitins, which ften cver dzens f kilmeters. Then, he’ll find a reliable driver and carry his phtgraphic equipment and fd t wait fr the strm. Fr shting high-quality strms, he always sticks with it t the end and ften lands himself in danger f being attacked by hails (冰雹) and puring rains.
Hwever, ne thing changed his mind. One day in August 2020, Liu was shting a pink-purple thunderstrm when a farmer came ver and cried, “Yu, as a phtgrapher, shuld care abut ur crps, nt the damaging strms.” The farmer’s wrds hit him as hard as any thunderstrm. “I just wanted t sht the strm, but I never thught that what I like is a disaster fr thers,” Liu said. “I felt guilty and decided t d smething t help mre peple learn abut meterlgy (气象学).”
Nw Liu makes and psts shrt vides with explanatins abut the phenmena and the pssible dangers f strms. Fr example, t warn peple f the danger f pssible hails, he marked hail cres, which ften shw nticeable blue clrs due t large amunts f thick raindrps in the clud, because water mlecules absrb red light and scatter (散射) blue light. “Putting knwledge int shcking and lively pictures and vides is a better way t pass the knwledge t mre peple,” said Liu. “That’s the significance and value f what I’m ding nw.”

I always listen t my lcal public radi statin while I’m driving. My fcus ften changes as I stare ut at the rad ahead. But I became fully attentive n a recent mrning nce I realized the entire newscast was dedicated t lcal wildlife.
There was smething abut the pack f sme 30 t 50 javelinas (野猪) that ruined a glf curse near Sedna, Arizna, fllwed by talk f the recent sighting f a jaguar, a species that ranged acrss Arizna and Snra, Mexic, until cnstructin f the brder wall blcked the way. Finally, there was an update n Mexican wlf reintrductin effrts in New Mexic and Arizna. The results were mixed: Nine f the wlves had died r been killed recently.
As I sat in my car, listening t the news, I felt helpless, even murnful. What wuld it take fr mst f us t understand that the javelinas’ behavir n that heavily irrigated glf curse in the desert was a sign that maybe the curse shuldn’t be in the desert t begin with? The way I saw it, the javelinas weren’t invading (入侵) the site; they were reclaiming it. After all, the javelinas’ needs—fr fd and space—are mre basic than a few privileged humans’ desire t play glf.
As fr the Arizna Mexican wlf pup reintrductin effrt that I heard abut in the news, fr the past 25 years, scientists have been wrking hard t restre the native wlf ppulatin, and yet are unable t remve its greatest threat. Tday, almst 250 Mexican wlves are believed t be in the wild, and every year, humans illegally kill ne ut f ten. The wlf recvery effrt is necessary, but it’s extremely difficult because we humans keep getting in the way.
I need t tackle my helplessness, because helplessness leads t n lnger wanting t take care f what matters mst. Therefre, I think that it must be a gd sign that my lcal news nw regularly cvers the challenges f cexistence and pssible slutins t ur prblems. That’s prgress and fuels my hpe.

A. Dangers f lcal wildlife. B. Effrts t reintrduce wildlife.

A. T meet basic needs.B. T prtect the desert.

A. They are bund t g extinct. B. Humans threaten their survival.
C. Their number has greatly increased. D. 10% f them have been reintrduced.
11．What is the authr’s attitude t the challenges mentined in the last paragraph?

The Yellw River is the rigin f China’s civilizatin. And fld cntrl and preventin have always been key t the well-being f the peple nearby. Nw, scientists can better wrk n these issues by giving the river a digital twin.
The digital twin f the Yellw River uses many technlgies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet f things. Devices set up alng the river cllect and transmit (传输) infrmatin t the cmmand center. Based n the infrmatin, a 3D mdel f the river is presented n the cmputer screen, which reflects its real cnditins like a twin.
One big breakthrugh in the river’s digital management is “smart stnes”. Accrding t Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Infrmatin Center f Yellw River Henan Bureau, a smart stne is a water-prf stne-shaped device with chips, a battery, and e signal transmitter buried in imprtant dike (堤坝) lcatins t recrd and reprt the mvement f dike stnes. “Upn feeling any mvement, the smart stne sends an alarm t the cmmand center fr quick respnse,” Wang said. “Researchers used t learn the cnditins f the dike n the spt by themselves,” said Zha Xiaxing frm the bureau. “Nw the smart stnes can d this fr us, mre safely, quickly, and accurately.”
And in the sky, drnes (无人机) are flying, mnitring the river and lking at its dikes and fld preventin prjects. Accrding t Shen Lin frm the Yellw River Cnservancy Cmmissin, thanks t the drnes, researchers at the cmmand center can get first-hand phts and infrmatin. “Researchers then update the 3D mdel accrding t the changes the drnes reprted, which helps us test ur fldwater release plans in case we ever need t batten dwn the hatches,” said Shen.
Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent systems are helping t prtect the Yellw River Basin n all frnts. Accrding t the Ministry f Water Resurces, in the future, we can expect t see the cnstructin f an even mre advanced digital system fr this imprtant river.
12．What is the main purpse f creating a digital twin f the Yellw River?
A. T study the ancient China’s civilizatin.
B. T raise public awareness f river prtectin.
C. T imprve fld cntrl and preventin effrts.
D. T use such technlgies as big data and artificial intelligence.
13．What d we knw abut smart stnes?
A. They are stnes t recrd and reprt the mvement f dikes.
B. They are water-prf transmitter t respnd t an alarm.
C. They are stne-shaped batteries t mark imprtant lcatins.
D. They are devices designed t recrd and reprt dike mvements.
14．What des the underlined phrase “batten dwn the hatches” in the secnd t last paragraph prbably mean?
A. Prepare fr difficult times.B. Fresee the future.
C. Fight t achieve ne’s gals.D. Overcme challenges.
