七、(福建中考改编)阅读理解。(每小题 3 分,共 15 分)
As we all know, in May 2024, the China Wildlife Conservation Association(CWCA,中国野生动物保护协会) sent giant pandas Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to the San Diego Zoo in the United States, which is a symbol of a new 10-year period of international conservation partnership. CWCA organized experienced caretakers and doctors to go with the pandas to the US. The zoo provided the pandas with a more comfortable living environment as well as daily nursing, and scientific research.
The cooperation(合作) between CWCA and the San Diego Zoo dates back to 1996 when Bai Yun and Shi Shi became the first pair of pandas to live in the zoo. Giant pandas Hua Mei, born in 1999, and Mei Sheng, born in 2003, who used to live there, are the result of China-US giant panda research cooperation(合作). Over the past few decades, the two sides have cooperated and solved many technical problems.
Since the 1990s, China has collaborated(合作) on giant panda conservation with 20 countries. "International cooperation in fields, such as disease prevention and treatment, has achieved good results. Giant pandas will facilitate communication between peoples and let people around the world know China better," said Li Desheng, deputy director of the China Conservation and Research Centre for the Giant Panda.
"Scientific and educational outreach(外展服务) also works as a key role in international giant panda exchanges, allowing more people to understand giant pandas," Li said.
