三、阅读理解
You may have heard the saying “The Yangtze River is China’s mother river.” The main route of the Yangtze is almost 6,400 km long. As the world’s third-longest river, its valley (流域) covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone (长江经济带) covers 11 provinces and cities, making up about 40 percent of China’s total population and GDP.
The “mother river” is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, because of overfishing and water pollution, the river’s Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) has died out after surviving for 150 million years. There’re also desertified (荒漠化的) land and soil pollution near the upstream part of the river in Qinghai province, Xinhua reported.
The Yangtze River Protection Law which took effect last year includes bans (禁止) on activity that could damage the river. It also includes heavier punishments for those who don’t follow the law.
According to the law, fishing will be banned in all of the Yangtze’s natural waterways, including its major tributaries (支流) and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined 50,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Sand mining (采沙) will be strictly limited in the river valley. Many companies are mining sand along the river, as sand is a rare resource. However, this has led to lower water levels on the river, which has caused the river’s water quality to decline.
Companies operating along the river will need to focus on green panies that produce pollution will be moved to other places, the law says.

A.Why the river needs protection.
B.How the river is being polluted.
C.How Chinese paddlefish died out.
D.How the river will be protected.
2.What does the underlined word “decline” in the second-to-last paragraph mean
A.disappear B.become worse
C.be hard to test D.be easy to control
3.What do we know from the story
A.People can’t fish only in the river’s major lakes.
B.Sand mining will not be allowed in the river valley.
C.All the companies along the river will be moved to other places.
D.Anyone who are caught fishing will be fined at least 50,000 yuan.
4.Which is Not true about the Yangtze River
A.The main route of the Yangtze River is almost 6,400 km long.
B.Its Economic Zone makes up about 40 percent of China’s total population and GDP.
C.It is in great need of protection because its valley covers one-fifth of China’s land area.
