【答案】BABA
Atop the Qingliangfeng Mountain in Lin'an district, Hangzhou, a breathtaking sight unfolds every year during the months of May to July. It's the sika deer breeding season, where nature's magic wove a tapestry of new life. In 2023, this event repeated itself once more, as at least eight adorable baby sika deer were born in the area.
The tiny deer pranced around in excitement under the watchful eyes of their mother. They brought smiles to the faces of the dedicated staff at the reserve, who have committed themselves to preserving the beauty and diversity of the natural wonder. Carefully treading a fine line between observation and non-interference, the staff employ innovative techniques to monitor the sika deer family without causing any disturbance to their natural growth. Cable videos, drones, and remote inspections are employed to capture their every move, allowing researchers and visitors to witness the magical moments from afar.
In China, the sika deer hold a special place of honor, being classified as a first-class national protected animal. In 2023, the reserve achieved yet another milestone when it was recognized as an excellent case of biodiversity conservation in Zhejiang province, specifically for the remarkable growth of the South China sika deer population. Thanks to years of efforts, cooperation in scientific research, and habitat restoration, the wild deer population in the region had soared past the 300 mark.

A think tank comprising elderly talent recently established in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, is playing a significant role in helping accelerate innovation by attracting expertise in various fields including education, economy and science and technology, according to insiders. "The think tank has helped build an intelligent innovation platform by extensively absorbing academicians and industry leaders in various fields, providing strong intellectual support for local economic development," said Liu Yuelun, president of Guangzhou Elderly University.
The institution, commonly referred to as the silver-haired think tank, is the first of its kind in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It currently boasts 1,200 members, 36 of whom are academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. "We are not organizing tea parties for the elderly. Academicians and experts are encouraged to bring projects and resources to make practical contributions to the high-quality development of the local economy," Liu said. The members of the think tank, which was set up in October, are engaged in several strategic emerging industries such as electronic information, biopharmaceuticals and intelligent manufacturing.
Xu Ningsheng, a CAS academician and member of the think tank, said the best way to ensure that silver-haired experts "play a real role" in local development is by "building a team and letting them work together". Noting that the CAS has a large number of foreign academicians, most of whom are over 70 years old, he said that silver-haired experts have played an important role in academic exchanges between China and other countries. "They still play a special role in the development of science and technology, education and economy," said Xu, who is also former president of Fudan University. As one of the first experts to join the think tank, he is leading a team in research and development of a project involving optoelectronic integration, in cooperation with semiconductor company Guangzhou CanSemi Technology.

An intelligent bullet train, part of the Fuxing series, rolled off the production line on Friday in Changchun, Jilin province, and will soon go on trial runs on tracks across Zhejiang province. The train, specially designed for the upcoming Asian Games, will provide intercity transportation between Hangzhou, the main host city of the games, and the five co-host cities of Ningbo, Wenzhou, Jinhua, Shaoxing and Huzhou in Zhejiang during the 19th Asian Games and Asian Para Games in September and October.
The eight-carriage train can carry up to 578 passengers and travel at a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour. Wi-Fi and 5G network coverage will be offered on the train, and some carriages have intelligent interactive terminals that will provide travel information for passengers, wireless screen projection and various forms of entertainment such as music. Furthermore, the addition of Ethernet technology means the speed of data transmission on the train will be over 60 times the transmission speed on other trains. The train also features other intelligent facilities that can provide convenience to passengers with special needs, such as barrier-free carriages with 90-centimeter-wide doors, barrier-free toilets, wheelchair storage areas and signs with Braille.
Such signs have been put at selected places such as seats, wheelchair storage areas and toilets to aid visually impaired passengers. In addition, the train features technology and equipment aimed to help passengers cope with different environmental conditions. For example, an automatic air pressure system has been equipped to effectively relieve the discomfort of tinnitus — ringing in the ear — caused by changes in air pressure while traveling through a tunnel. The air conditioning system will also provide more efficient temperature regulation.

【答案】BCBC
Dong Yixuan, a 27-year-old electrical engineer in Beijing, has recently been at odds with her father. For several months, Dong has been trying to persuade her father, a farmer in Jinzhou, Liaoning province, to replace his four-wheel "elderly scooter" with a car.
Known as lao tou le, or elderly scooters, the three- and four-wheel vehicles covered by cabins are a preferred mode of transportation for older people, which is how they earned the nickname. Even though Dong offered to pay for a new car, she has not succeeded in changing her father's mind. "He just won't give in," Dong said, adding that her father argues that the 18,000 yuan ($2,505) scooter meets his transportation needs, as he only rides it around his village, and it will last him for several more years. However, Dong insists he should buy a car for safety reasons. Although they are tolerated on roads in many parts of the country, the elderly scooters, similar to e-bikes, have no regulatory controls.
The scooters' low-level performance means they are not covered by motor vehicle safety standards and they do not require registration, license plates or insurance. "I am worried about his safety and the safety of others as well," Dong said. "It is really scary to see people driving these scooters when you don't know whether they are qualified to drive," she added. Statistics from the Ministry of Public Security show that there were 830,000 traffic accidents involving elderly scooters from 2014 to 2019, which killed 18,000 people and injured 186,000 others.
Last year, 138 people died in 131 traffic accidents involving three- and four-wheel scooters in Beijing. A number of cities, including Wuhu in Anhui province and Binzhou in Shandong province, have instigated policies to phase out the scooters to improve traffic safety. Beijing's transport bureau announced in July 2021 and reiterated in April that elderly scooters will be banned from the capital's roads from Jan 1, 2024.
What is Dong Yixuan’s profession
a) Farmer
b) Electrical engineer
c) Car salesman
d) Traffic police officer
2.Why has Dong Yixuan been trying to persuade her father to replace his elderly scooter
a) The scooter does not meet his transportation needs
b) The scooter is too expensive to maintain
c) She wants to make sure her father has a safer mode of transportation
d) She wants to sell the scooter and make a profit
3.What safety concerns does Dong Yixuan have about elderly scooters
a) They are prone to breaking down
b) They have no regulatory controls or safety standards
c) They are difficult to drive and control
d) They are too slow and cause traffic congestion
4.When will elderly scooters be banned from Beijing’s roads
a) January 1, 2022
