话题06 数字与生活 （完型 阅读 语法填空）教师版 一、阅读单选 （2023上·重庆沙坪坝·九年级重庆一中校考期中） Building a country is never easy. But how about making one disappear? A new report said a long time of climate(气候) change could do that. It also said Tuvalu would be the first country to be completely lost because of climate change. Tuvalu, a Pacific island country with many small islands, is near Australia, lying in the South Hemisphere(南半球) and there are only 12,000 people in this country. Now, 40 percent of the area in its capital is underwater. ▲ . They don’t want to lose their country, so they plan to build a new one in the metaverse(元宇宙). It is a digital(数字化) country that only shows online. No matter where Tuvalu people live in the real world, they will still have their nationality(国籍) and “live” in its online country. For example, if a Tuvaluan misses the beautiful butterflies and the soft wind in their hometown, he can enter their digital country online and enjoy them. This news made people in Tuvalu excited. But Li Zuxi, a director of the metaverse lab, said, “Though the digital country belongs to Tuvalu, it’s built on a metaverse platform(平台).

If someone from other countries enters the space of the digital country, how can the system tell if the person truly belongs to that country. In such situations, the safety of this digital country can’t be made sure of.” However, many island countries disagree with Li Zuxi. They say that building a digital country may be new, but this is the only way for people in those island countries to be connected. Why not have a try? Actually, whether people will build it or not, saving the real world and creating a better living environment should be paid the most attention to. 1．From the picture, Tuvalu lies in the place of ________.
