五、信息还原(七选五)
“Look! A black-faced spoonbill!” said Yan Zihan, a student from Shenzhen, Guangdong. Yan felt very excited to see these birds in the mangrove forest(红树林) at Futian.
“Spoonbills can live happily in Shenzhen. 1. They are special plants that grow in
warm places by the sea,” said an expert from the Mangrove Conservation Foundation.
2. China's mangrove area has increased from 22,000 hectares(公顷) in 2001 to 30,300 hectares in 2025, making it one of the few countries in the world with an increase in mangrove areas.
The world's first international mangrove centre was set up in Shenzhen. The city is home to 296.18 hectares of mangroves.
3. For example, back in the 1990s when the city was building a highway along the coast, instead of just knocking down the mangroves, the local government chose to move the highway 260 metres to the north. This helped to save the important mangrove ecosystem in the city.
4. People host fun events like the spoonbill festival and the otter(水獭) festival. People can join in games and create picture books about the animals. 5. Since 2019, thousands of students and teachers have taken part in educational activities about wetlands at the park.

A. China works hard to protect mangroves.
B. Spoonbills are very beautiful and rare birds.
C. Mangroves provide them with food and shelter.
D. Local people also organize some festivals to celebrate.
E. The local government always tries to protect mangroves.
F. Students can learn about nature through those programmes.
G. This proves that human and nature can live together in harmony.
