广东省深圳中学2023-2024学年八年级上学期期末英语试卷
Last year, some locals in Shenzhen suggested cancelling the city's ban(禁令)on fireworks. However, the local government said the city was not ready to allow fireworks.
The government said it was mostly because of the growing power of modern fireworks. Nowadays, in order to improve light effects, firework makers would put more gunpowder in their products. Sometimes, some of these fireworks may go off like small bombs(炸弹), causing damage and hurting people.
During the last forty years, Shenzhen has developed into a huge city, and most of its population lives in urban(城市的)areas. Now, nearly 20 million people live in an area of just 2,000 square kilometers. In addition, there are at least 1,500 urban villages and 1,000 high-rise buildings.
Other major cities, like Beijing and Shanghai, allow people to set off fireworks at special areas during the Spring Festival this year. Shenzhen, however, has difficulty doing that because there is hardly enough public space, especially in urban villages. There, you will see plenty of "handshake" buildings. These buildings are usually several inches—the distance of a few handshakes—away from each other. If people set off fireworks through their windows, it may cause fire. Therefore, the locals and the government are working together to keep them clean and well-organized. As a result, people can enjoy a happy and safe new year.
Shenzhen made a rule in 2013 to ban fireworks. Once the rule was made, it caught a lot of attention from the public. After much explanation, people started to take it. No major fire has been caused by fireworks since then.
