浙江省温州市永嘉县崇德实验中学2023-2024学年八年级上学期英语期中测试卷
It was a warm spring day in 2021. Chen Beier, a reporter from Hong Kong, was on her way to a small village called Atule'er. The small village sits at the top of a high cliff (悬崖). People can only get up to it by climbing a 2, 556-step steel ladder*. It is very dangerous.
So, was Chen looking for adventure (冒险) there? The answer is no. The reporter was trying to show people something.
In February 2021, China got rid of poverty (摆脱贫困). Many people couldn't believe this, because China has a large number of poor villages. To show the truth to people, Chen went to make No Poverty Land.
The trip was so hard. When she was halfway up the ladder to Atul'er, for example, Chen felt so tired that she could hardly go any further. She was also afraid of heights. The villagers advised her to stop the climb, but the woman didn't stop.
This steel ladder, in fact, is only six years old. Before it was built, the villagers had to face even bigger danger and use a rattan (藤条制成的) ladder. The government also built houses for the villagers at the foot of the mountain. Through No Poverty Land, people can easily see how life in poor places of China has been improved.
China has changed a lot, but some people just find it hard to believe. Now, Chen has shown us what we can do about that: Don't just tell people about the great changes, show them when you can.
