Answer 1

【答案】

【1】smaller

【2】or so

【小题3】die from

【4】eating

【5】cut down

【解析】

试题分析：本文从体重、现存数量、现在的生存状况几个方面介绍了熊猫。它是中国的标志，现在，中国政府正在努力拯救熊猫。我们都希望将来有更多的熊猫。

【1】smaller 句意：但是小熊猫要比熊猫小得多。把小熊猫与熊猫作比较，容易推测出这里选small，两者相比，用比较级，故填：smaller。

【2】or so句意：另外300只左右生活在中国和其它国家的动物园或研究中心里。在300这个数字后表示大概，故填：or so（左右，大约）。

【3】die from句意：幼熊猫通常死于疾病而且活得不很久。从后句的“活得不很久”可以推测出“死于”疾病，故选填：die from。

【4】eating句意：成年熊猫每天花12多个小时吃大约10千克竹子。从句意可以推测出这里选eat，spend sb doing sth，后跟动名词作宾补，故填：eating。

【5】cut down句意：很多年前，中国有许多竹林熊猫，但是然后人类开始砍伐这些森林。从人类近年对森林的破坏，容易想到是“砍伐”，故填：cut down。
