• 3．     Only a "cloud" away is how residents at the Dzilam reserve in Mexico think of the distance between Latin America and China，despite their geographical remoteness.
     The "cloud" isn't the one hanging up in the sky.What the residents refer to is in fact cloud technology，which has been applied to wildlife conservation in this Mexican reserve.
  In recent years，with cloud technology，technicians and ecologists from China and its trans-Pacific partners have been able to work hand in hand under the Belt and Road Initiative to protect endangered species and their habitats in Mexico.
     Home to many endangered species in Mexico，the Dzilam reserve，known for its biodiversity-rich habitats，has started to witness ecosystem degradation （衰退） over the years due to human activities and climate change.In 2002，the jaguar，the only big cat left in the reserve，was listed as "Near Threatened" on the IUCN Red List.
     Local communities and environmentalists have tried to track the habitat of jaguars，but have found it rather difficult：These animals are often hidden in vast forests，rarely leaving obvious traces，making it hard to observe them under natural conditions.
     To better protect wild animals and biodiversity，the Tech4 Nature Mexico project was launched in the Dzilam reserve.The project collects video data from cameras recording 24 hours a day in the Dzilam reserve to monitor the biodiversity of the area and uses acoustic （聲學(xué)的） technology to understand the existence of species and the health of ecosystems.The research team would use Huawei's Al model to identify the areas where the big cat appeared by identifying sounds，studying their living habits and developing management plans to protect the species.In addition，when a threat is detected，the system immediately sends a real-time alarm with the location to local forest guards through an app for rapid intervention.
     From September 2022 to May 2023，local experts，with the help of Huawei Cloud，have identified 119 species in the Dzilam reserve，including 88 species of birds，22 species of mammals，five species of reptiles and four species of amphibians，of which 34 species are on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.They have also spotted at least five jaguars in the reserve.
     Omelia Trejo，a resident of the Dzilam community，said their dream is "protecting jaguars for a lifetime，" but they worried that in the future，children might only see jaguars in photos. "Thanks to this project，our dream has come true."
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "cloud" in paragraph 1 refer to？

  
  A．A typical weather phenomenon.
  B．A networked computing technology.
  C．The cloud above the Dzilam reserve.
  D．The distance from Mexico to China.
  （2）What makes it difficult to track jaguars in the Dzilam reserve？

  
  A．Lack of local community's support.
  B．Disapproval from environmentalists.
  C．A few clearly recognizable tracks.
  D．Challenges in natural observation.
  （3）What does the writer intend to convey in paragraph 7？

  
  A．The urgent need for conservation.
  B．The challenges of species protection.
  C．The success of Tech4 Nature Mexico project.
  D．The diversity of species in the Dzilam reserve.
  （4）What is the resident's attitude towards the Tech4 Nature Mexico project？

  
  A．Positive.
  B．Doubtful.
  C．Unconcerned.
  D．Neutral.
