Question

【題目】 Scientists looked for paw prints (爪印) in the forests. In this way, they knew the number of pandas! “It’s hard to see pandas in the wild,” said Colby, a scientist. “They hide in the thick bamboo forests.” That’s why scientists used paw prints to get be number. The number of the pandas was a surprise to scientists. They learned that more pandas lived in the wild!

“We found pandas living in areas we didn’t know, ” said Colby. Although the news is good, pandas are in danger.

Here are some fun facts of pandas.

It takes a panda more than 10 hours to eat 9kg to 14kg of bamboo every day.

A newborn panda weighs 90-130 grams. That is about the weight of a mouse. A panda’s front paws have wrist bones (腕骨). The panda uses them to catch bamboo.

The main threat to pandas is that their land is becoming smaller and smaller. Pandas lose their land when people cut down parts of the forest for wood and farming. Now, China has 13 nature reserves (保護區(qū)). People mustn’t cut down trees there. Scientists want to create more nature centers to give pandas a better chance to live.

【5】A

【解析】

本文是說明文。文章通過描述科學(xué)家們數(shù)爪印來統(tǒng)計熊貓數(shù)量的方法，引出了熊貓生存所面臨的問題。文章介紹了一些關(guān)于熊貓的有趣現(xiàn)象，并且說明了科學(xué)家們?yōu)楸Ｗo熊貓做出的努力，呼吁人們保護熊貓。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“Scientists looked for paw prints (爪印) in the forests. In this way, they knew the number of pandas!”可知科學(xué)家們在森林中尋找爪印，通過這種方法，他們可以知道熊貓的數(shù)量。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“A newborn panda weighs 90-130 grams. That is about the weight of a mouse. A panda's front paws have wrist bones. The panda uses them to catch bamboo.”可知，一個新生的熊貓體重在90到130g之間，這類似于一只老鼠的重量。熊貓的前爪有腕骨，熊貓利用它們來抓住竹子，故選C。

【3】段落大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“The main threat to pandas is that their land is becoming smaller and smaller.”可知，熊貓面臨的主要威脅是它們的居住地正在變得越來越小，這是熊貓面臨的一個大問題，故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“People mustn’t cut down trees there. Scientists want to create more nature centers to give pandas a better chance to live.”可知，人們被禁止在自然保護區(qū)砍樹，科學(xué)家們想要創(chuàng)造更多的自然中心來給熊貓一個更好的居住機會，故選B。

【5】主旨大意題。文章講述了熊貓數(shù)量的變化，提出了熊貓生存面臨的問題，以及科學(xué)家們?yōu)榱诵茇埖纳�存做出的努力。這種科學(xué)性文章最有可能出現(xiàn)在科學(xué)雜志上，故選A。
