中学英语阅读理解专练小卷（六）With a relatively small population, pandas are unable to survive in the bamboo forest. Habitat loss is the main reason why the number of wild panda is falling. And while around 54% of its wild habitat is protected, these areas are still likely to be destroyed by natural disasters, such as wildfires. To protect panda habitat, the Digital Panda System, co- developed by the Sichuan government and Chinese technology giant Huawei, was used effectively across forest and grasslands in Sichuan Province. The unique reporting system helps to detect wildfires in hard-to-reach areas, informing fire departments, as well as monitoring wildlife. Meanwhile, another smart technology, facial recognition, could help identify individual pandas more accurately. To the human eye, their fur-covered faces all look the same, but this system can use specific methods to distinguish the differences. The system collects data from 596 cameras and satellites. Researchers can use this data to track and study wildlife, as well as detect wildfire location. Because the cameras are used in remote areas where there is little or no electricity, the system is solar powered, which means it doesnt require cables (电缆). The system assists 140,000 forest keepers and researchers in Sichuan. In its first five months of operations, it discovered 651 wildfire locations, reducing forest fires by 71.6% compared to the same period the previous year. Despite its name, the Digital Panda System offers protection to more than just pandas. The system covers a newly established Giant Panda National Park in Sichuan. The park is home to most of Chinas 1800 wild pandas along with over 8000 animals and plant species. In the future, the digital panda system could be applied nationwide, creating more success stories for other endangered species.100Why was the Digital Panda System developed?ATo monitor the health of giant pandas.BTo record the population of wild animals.CTo predict natural disasters in Sichuan Province.DTo protect endangered species from habitat loss.101What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the reporting system?AIts main functions.BIts unique design.CMethods of using it.DInspiration for creating it.102What do we know about the system from paragraph 3?AIt has been applied successfully nationwide.BIt requires a lot of electricity to operate.CIt works effectively in reducing forest fires.DIt mainly depends on satellites to collect data.103What is the main idea of the passage?AHuman activities cause pandas to lose their home.BSmart technology is helping to save endangered animals.CHuawei has taken the lead in facial recognition technology.DThe digital panda system has protected many species habitat.Jose Alberto Gutierrezs life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.Colombias capital city of Bogota has 13 million residents and 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Having access to a library of books and being taken away to another world while absorbed in a book is a luxury for the kids who visit Gutierrezs library.Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.Today, his community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to story books can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books!The Strength of Words library opens every weekend. It is not just school-going children who are enjoying the benefits of The Strength of Words library. Adults are also welcome to expand their horizons and develop new skills to build a better life for themselves.Despite having done so much for his community, Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books.104What inspired Gutierrez to build the community library?AThe dilemma he faced on the night shift.BThe hobby he has started sinc
