It gets its name from the yellow mud (泥土) it carries from the Loess Plateau (黄土高原). This mud is perfect for farming. For many years, Chinese farmers grew crops like rice and wheat along its banks. Early Chinese emperors even built their capitals near the river. That’s why it’s called the “cradle of Chinese civilization (中华文明的摇篮)”. But the Yellow River is also called “China’s Big Problem”. Why? Its floods once destroyed villages and crops. That was the biggest challenge for ancient people. To control the river, ancient people built walls along it. Later, modern dams (大坝) like the Xiaolangdi Dam helped stop floods. Today, the river faces new challenges: pollution and water shortage. Billions of people need its water to drink and farm. Taking good care of this river is key to China’s future. ( )21. Where does the Yellow River start? A. The Bohai Sea B. The Loess Plateau C. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau D. The Qinghai Lake ( )22.
