Question

The giant panda is one of the most popular animals in the world. A giant panda can grow up to 1.5 meters long and weigh up to 160kg. People think the giant panda is very lovely. ①So it is not surprising that the World Wide Fund for Nature chose the giant panda as its symbol.The WWF tells people about animals that they are in danger and raises money to save them.
The giant panda only lives in the wild in China. In the early 1980s, were only 1,000 left in the wild. The main reason why pandas are endangered is that the area where pandas can live has become smaller.
The WWF works to help giant pandas in the wild in many ways. One of the ways that helps them is to increase the size of panda reserves(自然保护区). Some reserves need to be joined together by planting bamboo between them to make “corridors”. These are paths that lead from one reserve to another. No one may harm the pandas in these areas. The corridors let pandas move from one habitat (栖息地) to another to look for food. ②People are working very hard to make sure the giant panda does not die out.

Answer 1

【小题1】 1.5 meters long and weigh up to 160kg.
【小题1】 the giant panda was chosen as its symbol
【小题1】The area where pandas can live has become smaller.
【小题1】 To increase the size of panda reserves.
【小题1】人们为了保护大熊猫不灭绝而努力工作着。

解析【小题1】根据文章第二句“A giant panda can grow up to 1.5 meters long and weigh up to 160kg.”可知，一只大熊猫能长到1.5米高、160公斤重。故填1.5 meters long and weigh up to 160kg。
【小题1】划线句的谓语和宾语是chose和the giant panda，变为被动是把宾语变为主语，谓语动词变为“be+ 过去分词”的形式。故改写为the giant panda was chosen as its symbol。
【小题1】根据第二段的最后一句话“The main reason why pandas are endangered is that...”可知，大熊猫面临危险的原因是适合大熊猫生存的环境变小了。故填the area where pandas can live has become smaller。
【小题1】根据最后一段的第二句话可知，帮助大熊猫的方法之一是建立自然保护区。故填To increase the size of panda reserves。
【小题1】划线句是现在进行时，不定式表示的是目的。故翻译为“为了（保证）不让大熊猫灭绝，人们正在努力工作着”。
