Scientists say there are now fewer than 2, 000 pandas living in the forests. Another 300 or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries. Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from illnesses and do not live very long. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there were a lot more bamboo forests and pandas in China, but then humans started to cut down these forests. As the forests get smaller and other human activities cause more problems, pandas cannot find enough to eat and they are having fewer babies.

Focus on the interrogative and key words in the questions.
Underline relevant information which answers each question.
Write the answers down, making some modifications if necessary.
At 9:00 a.m., they find that most of the babies are already awake and hungry.
awake此处用作形容词，意为“醒着的”。反义词是asleep。
英语中，awake常用于be, stay, keep, lie之后，作表语；但也可与shake等动词搭配，表示“某人摇醒他人”等。
注意，awake不用于名词前，因此用作定语时要后置。awake不与very搭配使用，表示“完全醒来；十分清醒”用fully awake, wide
awake。
(1) 他是醒着还是睡着了？ __________________________
(2) 等我们到达我的住所时，他已经完全醒过来了。__________________________
Is he awake or asleep？
He was wide awake by the time we reached my flat.
Language points
…they run over to them with excitement and some of the young pandas even walk into their friends and fall over!
run over 跑上前去
walk into （走路时意外）撞上
fall over 摔倒；倒下。强调的是“向前摔倒、跌倒”。
注意：fall down强调的是“滑倒、倒下”
fall off 强调的是“跌落、从……掉下来”
(1) 我看到这个小女孩跌倒了。______________________
(2) 女孩正从自行车上摔下来。_________________________
(3) 男孩重重地撞在树上，结果自己倒下了。
__________________________
I saw the little girl fall over.
The girl is falling off the bike./The girl is falling down from the bike.
The boy hit the tree so hard that he fell down.
The babies often die from illnesses and do not live very long.
die动词,意为“死”, 过去式为died,现在分词为dying。
die from 死于……；因……而死。表示“死于(创伤、劳累、忧愁等外部原因)”。
die of 表示“死于……病”或死于饥饿或过度悲伤等自身原因,但是在表示疾病的名词前用die from或die of都可以。
(1) 他的爷爷于1999年死于癌症。__________________________

(3) 他的父亲饿死在德国。
__________________________
His grandfather died from/of cancer in 1999.

Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the forests.
“There be＋ sb./sth.＋doing sth.＋地点”表示“某地有某人或某物正在做某事”。其中doing sth.是后置定语，与其修饰的词是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示人与动作是主动关系。
在there be句型中，当主语为多个并列的名词时，be动词的形式与离它最近的名词保持一致，即遵循“就近原则”。
(1) 在农场上有一些人正在摘苹果。__________________________
(2) 我的学校有一个科学实验室和两个图书馆。__________________________
There are some people picking apples on the farm.
There is a science lab and two libraries in my school.
＝ There are two libraries and a science lab in my school.
