三、信息还原(七选五)
Scientist have developed a new tool to prevent ships from hitting whales in areas off America's west coast.
The system is called Whale Safe. It uses equipment(设备) placed in the ocean to find whether there are whales in the near area. It also records shipping activity and ship speeds. 1. They examine it and try to guide the ships.
There is a problem with ships hitting whales. Last month, the latest case was reported. A dead whale was found in the San Francisco Bay. The animal died after getting hit by a ship. It was the fifth whale to be killed by a ship in the area this year. 2. In fact, the bodies of the dead animals are seldom discovered.
The Whale Safe system is invented to find and protect several different kinds of whales. 3. First, it uses buoys(浮标) to record sounds the whales make. Second, it uses computers to process information to predict(预测) where the whales are most likely to be. Third, it allows people to report whale sighting through a mobile app.
4. Staff at the Marine Mammal Centre say they have plans to use the system in other areas where whales face a high risk of being hit by ships. These areas include parts of the US Eastern Seaboard. 5. .
The killing of whales by ship strikes(撞击) is an avoidable problem. So with the help of the Whale Safe system, we can surely better protect the endangered animals.

四、阅读表达
（非遗传承）Longquan Celadon（龙泉青瓷），a famous Chinese pottery，dates back to the Southern Song Dynasty(1127—1279). This green-glazed ceramic is called “Celadon” for its soft jade-like colour，achieved by using iron-rich clay and special glazes. Artisans fire the pottery in traditional wood-burning kilns at high temperatures for up to 30 hours，a technique passed down for generations.
Why is it significant（显著的）? UNESCO added it to the intangible heritage list in 2009，praising its role in Chinese art history. Each piece showcases nature themes like bamboo or mountains，reflecting ancient beliefs in harmony with the earth. Sadly，fewer young people master this craft today because it requires years of practice and earns little money.
How do we save it? In Zhejiang Province，the government offers free training programmes to attract new artisans. Museums host workshops where visitors paint celadon designs，and apps like TikTok share short videos of its creation process. Additionally，modern artists mix celadon with new styles，proving this ancient art can adapt to the 21st century.
1. When was Longquan Celadon recognized by UNESCO?

2. Why is this craft Longquan Celadon difficult for young people to learn?
