Over 80% of these sites have carried out ecological restoration projects, successfully keeping their ecosystems authentic and complete. Besides strict protection, the country develops eco-friendly industries including ecotourism and under-forest economy to bring benefits to local residents.

主题3:厄尔尼诺气候风险
Experts caution against looming climate risks
Amid a rapidly developing El Nino event and long-term global warming, China is facing a complex mix of climate-related risks this flood season, increasing the likelihood of heat waves, uneven rainfall distribution and changes in typhoon activity.
The National Climate Center has announced that El Nino conditions have been observed in the equatorial central and eastern Pacific. As sea surface temperatures continue to rise, a moderate to strong El Nino event is expected to develop during the summer and autumn.
El Nino's influence extends beyond weather patterns. Through interactions between the ocean and atmosphere, the phenomenon can affect the Asian monsoon system and trigger cascading impacts across key sectors of China's economy, said Li Xiang, a senior engineer at the center.
"Agriculture, energy, infrastructure and transportation are among the sectors most vulnerable to El Nino-related disruptions," Li said.
The center forecasts above-average temperatures during China's main flood season and an increasingly uneven distribution of water resources across regions. According to the center, these conditions could complicate electricity supply, particularly during periods of peak summer demand, and increase operational pressure on China's energy system.
Luo Jingjia, a professor at Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, said the power sector faces a dual challenge. While drought conditions in some areas may reduce hydropower generation, extreme heat could simultaneously drive up electricity demand for cooling.
Renewable energy systems could also face uncertainties, such as reduced solar photovoltaic generation efficiency caused by persistent rainfall and wind turbine damage resulting from extreme winds, he said.
"The risks are not limited to energy," Luo said, adding that the impacts can be felt in the agriculture and transportation sectors and in people's daily lives.
To address these threats, meteorological authorities are expanding their role beyond forecasting and warning services. Officials are strengthening sector-specific climate risk assessments and providing quantitative analyses to support decision-making in relevant industries.
Luo suggested longer-term resilience measures, including improving interprovincial power transmission networks, expanding energy storage capacity and strengthening coordination among hydropower, thermal power and renewable energy sources.
In agriculture, specialists advocated increasing disaster-relief reserves, improving pest-control preparedness and expanding irrigation flexibility.
They also recommended conducting climate stress tests on critical infrastructure, including transportation hubs, underground urban facilities, aging residential communities and reservoirs vulnerable to extreme weather.
Financial and insurance tools can further help to absorb climate-related losses, experts said. Expanding agricultural insurance coverage and improving compensation mechanisms could help communities and businesses recover more quickly from disasters linked to extreme weather events.
Dong Xinning, a senior engineer at the Chongqing Climate Center, urged residents to rely on official weather warnings, avoid misinformation and take practical steps to reduce risks.
He encouraged households to familiarize themselves with warning systems, prepare basic emergency kits and develop disaster-response habits as part of everyday life. During evacuation orders, residents should remain calm, follow instructions from emergency personnel and prioritize safety over property, he said.
1.What will happen as the sea surface temperatures keep rising in equatorial Pacific?
A. A weak El Nino will fade away in autumn.
B. Moderate or severe El Nino will form this summer and autumn.
C. The Asian monsoon system will work normally without disturbance.
D. Rainfall across China will be evenly distributed in flood season.
2.What is the double trouble for China’s power industry brought by El Nino?
A. Less hydropower output and higher cooling power demand.
B. Damaged wind turbines and lower solar power efficiency.
C. Insufficient power transmission and limited energy storage.
D. Unstable thermal power supply and outdated power facilities.
3.What does the underlined word “resilience” in Paragraph 9 most probably mean?
A. Profitability
B. Adaptability
C. Productivity
D. Creativity
4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. El Nino’s Harm to China’s Agricultural Production
B. Practical Tips for Residents to Survive Extreme Weather
C. Experts Warn of Multiple Climate Risks from El Nino and Give Solutions
D. How Renewable Energy Systems Fight Against Climate Disasters
主题4:全球治理白皮书
China's action on global governance draws praise
On June 17, 2026, China released a white paper titled More Just and Equitable Global Governance: China's Principles, Proposals and Actions. Experts worldwide say the paper fully shows China's firm commitment to multilateralism and building a fairer, more inclusive global governance system.
The Global Governance Initiative (GGI), put forward by President Xi Jinping in 2025, has won recognition from nearly 160 countries and international organizations. The white paper systematically explains China’s ideas and practical moves to address global difficulties, aiming to unite international consensus to deal with worldwide challenges.
Many foreign experts spoke highly of the document. Bhokin Bhalakula, former president of Thailand’s National Assembly, pointed out the world suffers from severe division, and conflicts hurt ordinary people most. He stressed that prioritizing one single country’s interests over others can never win global respect. The GGI fits the global wish for peaceful development and matches the vision of a community with a shared future for humanity.
Kin Phea from Cambodia highlighted the core value of the GGI: it safeguards the UN-centered international system and sticks to extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits. Every country, big or small, deserves an equal voice in global affairs. Instead of replacing existing mechanisms, the initiative pushes reform and increases the say of Global South nations.
Facing issues like economic division, climate change and food insecurity, all nations need inclusive cooperation. Experts agree that the white paper offers a clear, practical roadmap to improve global governance and balance the interests of all countries.
1.What is the main function of the newly released white paper?
A. To replace the current UN-led global governance system.
B. To interpret China’s concepts and efforts on global governance.
C. To solve all conflicts between developed and developing countries.
D. To introduce the history of the Global Governance Initiative.
2.What can we learn about the Global Governance Initiative?
A. It was released together with the white paper on June 17, 2026.
B. It has gained support from around 160 countries and organizations.
C. It advocates giving big nations more power in international decisions.
D. It aims to put one country’s interests above all others’.
3.What does the underlined word “safeguards” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Gives up
B. Protects
C. Takes over
D. Doubts
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. International experts praise China’s white paper on global governance and the GGI
B. Various global challenges including climate change and food security
C. The vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind
D. The importance of the United Nations in global affairs
