Question

【题目】 On April 1, 2017, China announced that it would build the Xiong’an New Area in Hebei Province. This will be of the same importance as the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and the Pudong New Area, according to the State Council.

The area, about 100 kilometers southwest of downtown Beijing, will cover three counties that sit at the center of the triangular （三角形的） area formed by Beijing, Tianjin, and Shijiazhuang.

The Xiong’an New Area has great potential（潜能） for growth. It has a board space to develop and will expand to cover 2,000 square kilometers. The transportation of the area is convenient, with only an hour’s drive to Beijing and Tianjin.

The new area also has a sound natural environment. It is home to Baiyangdian, one of the largest fresh water wetlands in North China. With more than 140 lakes, the wetland is known as the “pearl”（珍珠）of the North China Plain.

Once built, the area will reduce the heavy burdens on Beijing. For example, many companies, universities and scientific research centers will move from Beijing to the area.

International experts and media（媒体） also think highly of this new area, saying that it will set an example to developing countries.
