What’s your favorite animal Monkeys, tigers or...Now, let me tell you something about pandas. They come from China. Their heads and stomachs are white and their legs are black and strong. They are fat, but they never get angry with you. Their black eyes are like a pair of black glass balls. Pandas like living in bamboo woods (竹林), because they can eat lots of bamboo there.
Pandas are lovely, but the number of pandas becomes smaller and smaller. People cut down lots of bamboo to build houses and they are in danger. We should try our best to give a better life to them. The Chinese government is working hard to save the pandas. Now there are more than 30 nature reserves in China to protect them but these are not enough. More nature reserves will be built in the future.

2．句意：它们生活在中国的西南部的森林和山区。
forest森林；forests森林；nature自然；earth地球。根据常识，可知熊猫生活在中国西南部的森林和山区，根据“mountains”可知此处forest也要用复数形式forests。故选B。
3．句意：它们以竹子为食。
in在……里面；to到；on在……上面；for为，为了。根据语境，可知熊猫以竹子为食，feed on意为“以……为食”。故选C。

take带着，动词原形；taking带着，动名词；get得到，动词原形；getting得到，动名词。根据“the friendship of us to visit relatives and friends”可知此处表示熊猫们经常带着我们的友谊到国外探亲访友，空格前in为介词，所以要选动名词形式taking。故选B。
5．句意：它们是世界上最珍贵的动物之一。
animals动物；animal动物；plants植物；plant植物。根据常识，可知熊猫是世界上最珍贵的动物之一，根据“one of the+形容词最高级+名词的复数”可知此处应用animals。故选A。
6．句意：然而，随着现代工业的飞速发展，自然环境遭到的破坏越来越严重。
However然而；So因此；Then然后；But但是。根据句意，上文说熊猫是世界上最珍贵的动物之一，下文说随着现代工业的飞速发展，自然环境遭到的破坏越来越严重，两句之间构成转折关系，空格部分位于句首，且后面有逗号隔开，所以应用副词However。故选A。
7．句意：然而，随着现代工业的飞速发展，自然环境遭到的破坏越来越严重。
beautiful漂亮的；serious严重的；interesting有趣的；relaxing令人放松的。根据语境，可知，随着现代工业的飞速发展，自然环境遭到的破坏越来越严重。故选B。

under在……下面；above在……以上；over在……上面；below在……下面。根据“all…the world”可知，此处应用all over the world表示“世界各地”。故选C。
9．句意：在20世纪70年代，熊猫的数量大约是1千。
a一个；one一；the这个；/不填。根据“was about one thousand”可知，大约1000只，可知此处强调的是数量，the number of表示“……的数量”。故选C。
10．句意：因此，我们的政府花费了好几百万美金设立训练中心和森林保护区。
took花费（时间），主语常为it；spent花费（时间或金钱），主语是人；paid支付；cost花费，主语是物。根据主语“the government”及“setting up”可知此处应用spent表示“花费”，spend money doing sth意为“花钱做某事”。故选B。
11．句意：为了确保熊猫能长寿，我们的国家开始了一项预防动物灭绝的实验。
protect保护；provide提供；allow允许；prevent防止。根据“the animals’ extinction”可知是防止动物灭绝，所以选prevent符合题意。故选D。
12．句意：这一实验是把生活在研究中心或动物园里的熊猫送到野外。
with和；for为了；at在；in在……里面。根据“live…the research centers or zoos”可知这一突破性实验是把生活在研究中心或动物园里的熊猫送到野外。live in表示“生活在……”。故选D。
13．句意：它能够帮助改善这一虚弱的家族，使它们比之前更强壮。
ill生病的；weak虚弱的；healthy健康的；modern现代化的。根据语境和常识，可知熊猫是濒危动物，且数量越来越少，所以这一突破性实验能够帮助改善这一虚弱的家族，因此选weak符合题意。故选B。
14．句意：我们希望熊猫的数量会越来越多。
that连接词，无实义；so因此；to到；for为了。动词hope后接宾语从句，从句中句子完整，说明引导词在句中不充当成分，所以选that，在句中只起连接作用。故选A。
15．句意：我们希望熊猫的数量会越来越多。
less and less越来越少；smaller and smaller越来越小；bigger and bigger越来越大；larger and larger越来越大。结合语境，国家采取一系列的措施都是为了增加熊猫的数量，修饰number，要用形容词large，因此选larger and larger。故选D。
四、读写综合

16．根据“They come from China.”可知，熊猫来自中国，故填Pandas/They come from China.

19．根据“People cut down lots of bamboo to build houses and they are in danger.”可知，因为人们砍掉了很多竹子建房子，所以它们处于危险中，故填Because people cut down lots of bamboo to build houses.
