1 In late spring and early summer each year, tens of millions of butterflies come out of their chrysalises(蝶蛹) in the butterfly valley in southwest China's Yunnan Province.For butterfly expert Yang Zhenwen,it is the busiest time of the year,but he greets it with great enthusiasm.

2 Before the break of dawn, Yang has already arrived at the observation point, diligently tending to the needs of the awakening butterflies.“Due to warmer temperatures, the‘butterfly explosion’this year occurred slightly earlier than usual, and the size of the butterflies is larger than that in previous years,”said 46-year-old Yang, curator (館長)of the butterfly valley museum.“We expect that there will be about 80 million to 100 million butterflies in the valley during this year's‘butterfly explosion’.That's seems so crazy,”said Yang.According to Yang, in the valley, more than 320 butterfly species have been identified in specimens or photographs, including the rarest, most primitive,largest and smallest butterflies in China.

3 Besides Yang, many local villagers have also embraced the role of butterfly guardians.However, the journey toward achieving human-butterfly harmony was far from easy.Some two decades ago, the villagers had little awareness of butterfly conservation,wrongly believing that butterflies could threaten their food crops.They viewed them as pests that should be eliminated（消滅）.

4 In 1998, Yang embarked on his journey at the agricultural science station in Ma'an'di Township,the very place where the butterfly valley is located.“It was there that I met a recurring dilemma—the local villagers, seeking to protect their crops, would often plead for pesticides to remove the butterflies,”he said.“However, my genuine affection for these creatures drove me to persistently dissuade them from harming the delicate insects.”5 Now, the development of ecotourism relying on butterfly resources has successfully transformed the once impoverished township.More villagers have started engaging in butterfly breeding.“Protecting the forests,conserving water sources and preserving butterflies have become conscious actions within the local community,”said Yang.He describes the butterfly valley as a“dream-making machine”, which extends the“butterfly dream”of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.

Ⅰ.Difficult sentence in the text

Some two decades ago, the villagers had little awareness of butterfly conservation,wrongly believing that butterflies could threaten their food crops.大約二十年前，村民們對蝴蝶保護(hù)知之甚少，錯(cuò)誤地認(rèn)為蝴蝶會(huì)威脅到他們的糧食作物。

【點(diǎn)石成金】本句是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。the villagers had little awareness of butterfly conservation 是主句；believing...food crops 作伴隨狀語，that 引導(dǎo)的從句作動(dòng)詞believe 的賓語。
