Question

The San Diego Zoo has been a lovely home for giant pandas since two of the black-and-white bears came to visit in 1987. This week there was snow in San Diego—well, at least for a lucky group of giant pandas.

Over 15 tons of snow was blown into the San Diego Zoo's panda area on Tuesday morning to give the endangered bears a chance to play. They would experience the snow just like living in their natural habitat.

The snow day was a first for Xiao Liwu whose name means "Little Gift." He was the sixth baby panda born to Bai Yun. Xiao Liwu was jumping on Mom, playing with her and getting used to being thrown in the snow by mama bear. Jennifer Becerra, San Diego Zoo keeper said, "He was really enjoying the snow and running around. I've never seen him so happy."

All the San Diego Zoo’s giant pandas are from China, as part of a long-term captive breeding(人工養(yǎng)殖) program. Four of Xiao Liwu's brothers have already been moved from California to China.

Today there are 44 giant pandas living in zoos outside of China, where the bears' only natural home is. As just 1,600 pandas are thought to be left in the wild, researchers insist that captive breeding is an important way to study and protect the endangered pandas. Not only because of the habitat loss from human activities and low reproductive rates(繁殖率), giant pandas' survival is also affected by climate change. A study showed that global warming could kill much of the bears' main food, bamboo, over the next century.

試題分析：這篇文章講述了生活在圣地亞哥動物園的大熊貓，為了給它們一個玩耍的機會，人們給它們送來了很多的雪，它們玩的非常高興。

1.細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章Over 15 tons of snow was blown into the San Diego Zoo's panda area on Tuesday morning to give the endangered bears a chance to play.可知，為了給熊貓一個玩耍的機會，超過15噸的雪被吹進了圣地亞哥動物園的熊貓區(qū)域。故選B

2.細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章The snow day was a first for Xiao Liwu whose name means "Little Gift." He was the sixth baby panda born to Bai Yun.可知，Xiao Liwu是由 Bai Yun生的。故選D

3.細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章可知，生存環(huán)境的喪失，很低繁殖率，地球變暖是熊貓數(shù)量減少的原因。故選C

4.主旨題。這篇文章主要講的是圣地亞哥動物園的熊貓。所以，Giant pandas in San Diego Zoo最適合做標題。故選A

5.細節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)文章可知，人工繁殖是保護大熊貓非常重要的方法；現(xiàn)在有44只熊貓在國外的動物園；中國是大熊貓唯一的自然棲息地；小禮物不害怕被媽媽扔進雪地里。故選C
