2024年初中英语中考最新时文阅读训练 专题06环保天地 阅读理解 A The Baihetan Power Station 白鹤滩水电站 The Baihetan Power Station is the world's second largest of its kind, only after the Three Gorges Dam. It is on the Jinsha River and is built to help provide energy for eastern and central China. It is really an engineering wonder. It has an “underground city” hidden in the mountains between Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces. With thousands of sensors measuring temperature, pressure and other important information, people can control the station well in real time. The use of the station marks the completion of the world's largest clean energy corridor. Six giant power stations are on the Yangtze River now. They work to send electricity from the west to the east of the country. Four of the stations, Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu and Xiangjiaba, are on the Jinsha River,the headwaters of the Yangtze River. The other two, the Three Gorges Dam and Gezhouba, are on the middle section of the Yangtze River. They form a 1,800-km-long clean energy corridor. The stations can reduce coal burning by 90 million tons and carbon emissions by over 240 million tons every year. They also play a big role in flood control, shipping and ecological security(生态安全) in the Yangtze River Basin. The Yangtze River used to be a river that people couldn't control or use, but now, the flood of the Yangtze River is no longer a danger but a treasure.
