中考真题2024年四川省雅安市阅读理解C篇-全国植树节
On November 13, 2023, people across Kenya (肯尼亚) took part in their first national tree-planting holiday. The holiday was created to encourage people to plant trees.
Kenya is famous for its beautiful forests and wildlife. But large areas of Kenya’s forests have been cut down, either for the wood or for farming. So there is less and less land covered by forests in Kenya. The government has a goal of planting 15 billion trees by 2032 to cover 30% of its land with trees.
In early November, the government announced (宣布) National Tree Growing Day would fall on November 13. To prepare for the day, the government got 150 million young trees ready for planting. The government also created a special app to help organize the tree planting. The app helps people collect young trees, find places to plant, and record their efforts. It also helps the government find out how many trees have been planted in different areas around the country.
On that day, people all over Kenya turned out (出现) in large numbers to take part in the holiday. In the capital, hundreds of people joined in, even though it was raining. Government leaders led planting efforts in different parts of the country. Workers, students, families and other groups showed up to take part.
