备战2022年中考英语考前时事热点话题阅读+题型专练 热点119 生态文明建设的重要性 一、阅读理解 1 If you adopt pets in a foreign country, can you bring them to your home country? China’s new Biosafety Law, which went into effect on April 15, answers this question. The law introduced regulations(规定) in eight areas，including infectious (传染性的) disease prevention and control, biotechnology, and the prevention of invasive (入侵的) species. Biosafety is important for people’s health, environmental protection and national interests(国家利益), said Qin Tianbao, director of the Research Institute of Environmental Law at Wuhan University. Take bioinvasion (生物入侵) as an example. China has suffered from bioinvasion. The country has more than 660 alien species. Seventy-one of them have harmed or could harm the natural ecological system, CGTN reported. This results in economic losses of 200 billion yuan every year. For example, the apple snail, introduced from Central America 40 years ago, is still a headache in Guangdong. After being set free in the wild, the snail has polluted water with its feces(粪便), eaten vegetables and fruit, and made animals sick. It has now spread to 21 cities throughout Guangdong, destroying large areas of farmland, according to Guangdong Agricultural Sciences. Other examples include red-eared slider (巴西龟), the scavenger fish (清道夫鱼) and red imported fire ants in southern China. Bioinvasion can happen naturally, but it is more often a result of human activity. 1. What is the passage about? A. Pet adoption in foreign countries. B. International travel with pets. C.
