The mascots of the 19th Asian Games—Lianlian, Congcong, and Chenchen—have

made

their global debut（亮相）. They welcome everyone to join in the event with their enthusiasm and

hospitality while expressing the sporting spirit of the 19th Asian Games to the world.

The three robotic figures represent three different facets of Hangzhou’s rich heritage. Lianlian

is a mirror of the West Lake, Congcong shows the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City, while

Chenchen characterizes the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

The mascot Lianlian takes on the colour of nature, green, as its main tone to represent the

West Lake, which is a freshwater lake in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. The popular scenic

spot is famous for its picture-like scenery, amazing buildings, and eco-friendly environment. There

are small islands, temples, pagodas（佛塔）and gardens showing the qualities of traditional Chinese

buildings.

As a symbol of Hangzhou, the West Lake keeps

impressive views and historic

relics that

have influenced many poets and painters throughout Chinese history. It was listed as a UNESCO

World Heritage Site in 2011. Surrounded by plenty of trees, various plants and flowers, the West

Lake attracts a large number of visitors every year. In particular, the blooming lotus flowers of

summer offer an unbelievable picture-like scene. The mascot Lianlian’s name comes from the

beautiful lotus leaves found there. Also, the lotus is a symbol of purity, nobleness and peace in

When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang. In the public impression, Xinjiang is

often remembered as somewhere far from the sea with long hours of sunlight, a vast Gobi desert,

and mountains with an extremely dry climate, unsuitable for seafood production due to the

massive amount of water required.

However, Xinjiang now welcomes a big harvest of local “seafood”, such as shrimp and crabs.

The most important thing for aquatic products(水产品) is water. Xinjiang has many rivers and

lakes with water from the melting snow and glaciers(冰川) of the Tianshan Mountains. “With the

mountains on the side, there is no industrial pollution and agricultural pollution, which keeps the

water clean and favors the growth of the fish,” said Li Chunyu, the head technician of the local

trout farm.

Also, land in Xinjiang has a lot of salt. This is not good for growing crops. But “one man’s

trash is another man’s treasure”. The land makes the underground water salty. People turn the salty

water into “man-made seawater”. They then use it to raise sea fish, shrimp and crabs.

Many people are worried about the safety of seafood because of the nuclear-contaminated

water. Some even feel desperate since they may no longer enjoy any seafood. Luckily, according

to the Department of Agriculture, in 2022, the total output value of Xinjiang’s fishery industry

reached 4. 2 billion yuan ($580 million), an increase of 921 million yuan compared to 2019. Now,

some of Xinjiang’s “seafood” goes to many cities in China. It also goes to countries in Southeast Asia. It turns out that Xinjiang’s “seafood” is becoming a new and favorable choice for seafood

lovers.

6．Why is the public impression of Xinjiang mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A．To introduce the climate and location of Xinjiang.

B．To lead in the real situation of local “seafood” in Xinjiang.

C．To describe the seafood industry in China.

D．To explain the reason why Xinjiang has poor seafood production.
