China on Sunday issued a white paper(白皮书 )on the country’s battle against COVID-19(新型冠状病毒).

The white paper, titled “Fighting COVID-19: China in Action,” was issued by the State Council Information Office(国务院新闻办公室).

The Chinese government released the white paper to keep a record of the country’s efforts in its own fight against the virus, to share its experience with the rest of the world, and to clarify, its ideas on the global battle, according to the white papers.

“The COVID-19 global pandemic(全球大流行) makes the human beings suffer a lot in a century”, it said.

Facing the “unknown, unexpected, and devastating(毁灭性的) disease,” China started a war to prevent and control its spread, the white paper said.

Making people’s lives and health is first thing to be considered, China took wide, strict, and thorough containment measures(彻底的抑制措施), and has for now succeeded in cutting all channels for the spread of the virus, it added.

Besides the foreword and afterword, the white paper consists of four parts; “China’s Fight against the Epidemic: A Test of Fire,” “Well-Coordinated Prevention, Control and Treatment,” “Assembling a Powerful Force to Beat the Virus,” and “Building a Global Community of Health for All.”

New research suggests that growing trees and other plants near factories could reduce pollution by almost one- third.

More plant life may even cost less and be more effective (有效的) than technology designed to cut pollution, a new study found. Researchers collected data about air pollution and plant life in 48 cities. They studied public records from every city.

The researchers knew that trees and plants are taking in large amounts of harmful air. So they tried to find out whether new plants could reduce air pollution.

The study tried to show how this vegetation (植被) could reduce the pollution, including the production of energy from coal, oil and gas. The researchers found that growing plants, where possible, could cut air pollution by about 27 percent in the areas studied. They also found that in 75 percent of the areas, it would cost less to use plants and trees to reduce air pollution than to add new air cleaning technology.

"The fact is that traditionally, especially as engineers, we don't think about nature," Dr. Bakshi, said. "We just focus on putting technology into everything."

"To solve air pollution problems, people need to start learning from the nature and respecting it," Bakshi said. He added that nature-based methods could result in "win-win" solutions that save money and are better for the environment.

The study couldn't tell which kinds of trees or plants would be best at reducing air pollution. But Bakshi said they might make a difference in air quality, so further study is needed.

The researchers said that more trees and plants could help lower air pollution levels in both cities and rural areas. However, success rates (比率) would be different depending on how much land can be used and its air quality levels.

1.The researchers found that plants were ________ air cleaning technology.

A.better than B.worse than C.as cheap as D.as good as

2.Most engineers think ________ is more important in reducing air pollution.

A.nature B.cost C.location D.technology

3.What do "win-win" solutions refer to in Paragraph 6?

A.Building more factories to develop technology.

B.Reducing air pollution with less money.

C.Saving more money by developing technology.

D.Developing technology and reducing pollution.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.1/3 of the pollution can be reduced by technology.

B.The study has found out the most effective plants.

C.Plants improve the air quality in cities and the country.

D.Air quality levels mainly decide the success rates.
