Save Pandas

With the Switzerland-based World Wildlife Fund(WWF),China is making a concerted and dedicated
effort to save the endangered pandas. The results,officials here in Chengdu indicate,are mixed but encouraging.
A clear disappointment is the failure to breed pandas in captivity,necessary if their decreasing numbers
are to be replaced.Another failure has been the incapability to find a natural,readily available food to replace
the arrow bamboo.
Despite these failures,success has come on two fronts.One achievement has been the physical rescue
effort. Some pandas have been kept alive by salting（空投）the mountains with tons of cooked meat , which
pandas will eat as a substitute for bamboo,and by the planting of new bamboo in isolated areas.Animals in
some Sichuan areas have been rescued by local peasants and given emergency treatment by animal doctors.
A second achievement is a massive fund-raising effort.Publicity about the pandas plight has resulted in
a new$100,000 emergency allocation by the WWF and independent fund drives both in China and abroad.
In spite of this support,there have been conflicts in the panda relief program.One important problem is
the difficulty Peking is having balancing the recommendations of environmentalists with China's ambitious
goal of agricultural and industrial modernization.
Wolong is but one example of this difficulty.This 494,000-acre preserve was declared a protected area
in 1975.Yet 1,800 people,mostly Tibetans,still live in the preserve,logging trucks still roll down the narrow
mountain roads,and blasting work still goes on at the site of a new 160,000-kilowatt hydroelectric plant just
six miles away.
This all means that the pandas' fight for survival will not be an easy one,even with the concerted effort of
man.For in the end,even if they can survive the dangers of the wild,they must still contend with man himself.Efforts to save the endangered pandas________.A:have failed completelyB:have proven highly successfulC:have met with setbacks hut brought hope D:have received no response from the scientists
选项 Efforts to save the endangered pandas________.
A:have failed completely
B:have proven highly successful
C:have met with setbacks hut brought hope
D:have received no response from the scientists
答案 C
解析 本题为词义理解题。在文章第一段最后一句话“The results, officials here in Chengduindicate ,are mixed but encouraging.”中，理解mixed和encouraging两个词的词义，就不难判段 出，C为正确答案。
由文章倒数第二段可知，卧龙自然保护区，占地面积为494,000英亩。而且至今保护区 内仍还居住着1 ,800人。伐木的大货车仍还穿行在狭窄的山间小道上。离保护区六英里远的 地方还有一个新建的可发电160,000千瓦的水力发电站在轰隆隆的作业。故选D。
本题为测试事实细节的试题。由文章第二段第一句“A clear disappointment is the failure to breed pandas in captivity,…”可知人工饲养大熊猫的繁殖是失败的，这就不利于防止大熊猫 数量的减少，所以A为正确答案。
本题为推理判断题。根据文章第四段第二句的内容：捐助的基金款项主要来自于WWF （世界自然基金会）、中国国内和国外的一些国家，可以判断出大熊猫的生存问题是国际共同关注的问题。故选B。
作者在做有关大熊猫生存的结论时语气是：A．担忧的；B．乐观的；C．气愤的；D．客双 的：在文章最后一段中，作者指出大熊猫生存下去并不容易。因为威胁大熊猫生存的因素不 仅有恶劣的野生环境，还有人类活动。由此可知，作者对大熊猫的生存是担忧的，故选A。
