六、阅读表达 阅读并回答问题 (共5小题,每小题2分,计10分)
In 2003, the female giant panda Yaya, who was born in the Beijing Zoo in 2000, and male giant panda Lele, born in the Shanghai Zoo in 1998, traveled to the Memphis Zoo as part of a giant panda protection and research program between China and the US. Old friends are on the way. News reported that the giant pandas Yaya and Lele would come back to China in December 2022. Sadly, Lele passed away on February 3rd 2023 instead of returning home.
It’s said that Lele died because of the poor care he got when he was alive. He lost his weight and appeared to have a toothache that the zoo wasn’t able to treat. Before death his health was getting even worse, but no health care was offered to help him. He was only 24 years old, but pandas can live well for more than 30 years.
Yaya, the other panda, also shows her bad condition and sleeps the whole day. Besides she has suffered(遭受) a lot from the stomach disease for a long time.
Though the zoo wanted to cover its carelessness condition from the public, their poor condition was noticed by visitors’ cameras. Many people point out that one of the worst problems is the low quality and small amount of bamboo. However, the Memphis Zoo didn’t agree with the saying.
Now, we are calling for immediate steps to honor Lele and make sure of Yaya’s safe return. On Thursday afternoon 27th April 2023, Lele’s body and Yaya arrived at Shanghai Pudong International Airport from Memphis.
