主题10人与自然·环境保护 A(2022枣庄) During the past summer season, photos of snow leopards were taken by five different special cameras in Pingwu, Sichuan province, surprising many wildlife scientists. This shows that the living area of snow leopards in China's southwestern mountains has become larger. Pingwu, part of which is about 4,200 meters above sea level, is famous for being home to a large number of wild pandas. The fourth national survey of pandas in 2015 found that there were 1,864 wild pandas in China, including 335 in Pingwu. As a result, over half of Pingwu's land area has become part of the Giant Panda National Park, which has an area of about 27,000 square kilometers across Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. It is among five national parks China named in October, 2021. Through shutting down mines(矿井), planting more trees and other measures, protection efforts in the park have not only made pandas less endangered, but also are offering safety and protection for other rare species (珍稀物种). About 74% of the Giant Panda National Park lies in Sichuan. It's home to more than 8,000 species of animals and plants. The province has used special cameras and forest protectors as a closely connected protection system. Thousands of forest protectors have been working year-round on more than 900 routes. Over the past four years, they have met rare animals for about 1,600 times. In Pingwu alone, more than 4,100 species of plants and 1,900 species of animals have benefited from the protection of pandas. For example, the number of takin, a rare animal, has increased by 10% over the past ten years. Meanwhile, the protection of pandas causes the development of human society, too. 1Why does the Giant Panda National Park include Pingwu? A. Because Pingwu is about 4,200 meters above sea level. B. Because there are 1,864 wild pandas in Pingwu. C. Because there are many wild pandas in Pingwu. D. Because it has an area of 27,000 square kilometers. 2What's the Chinese meaning of th
