四、大熊猫
根据短文内容，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Panda lovers were shocked to learn that a male (雄性) panda, He Ye, revealed as female (雌性) by keeper.
He Ye and her twin sister Hua Hua were born in July, 2020. Hua Hua is an online sensation (网红) for her very distinctive features (突出的特征) and tame temper (温顺的性格). Because of Hua Hua's popularity, He Ye has also aroused public attention.
When He Ye was a baby, her gender characteristics tended toward male, because she appeared very lively and had a large stature (身型). But as He Ye is growing older, the male characteristics are not easy to see. So experts were invited to collect He Ye's biological samples for DNA analysis.

It is widely believed to be very hard to determine the gender of a panda before it turns three.
This event is not unique. Mei Lan, the father of He Ye, was once raised as a female panda. Mei Lan's sister, Bao Lan, was judged to be male at birth. The three giant pandas in the United States, Po, Mei Lun and Mei Huan, who had been sexed as male were in fact female.

[语篇解读]
本文讲述了大熊猫和叶的性别乌龙。和叶刚出生的时候，它的性别特征偏向于“弟弟”，饲养了几个月后，根据它排尿高、性格活泼、大高个儿等特征，就鉴定它是个“弟弟”，不过，随着和叶长大，它雄性的显著特征就不明显了，于是饲养员们便请专家来采集和叶的生物样本，结果显示它确实是“妹妹”。
