Their favorite food is bamboo—they eat about 12 to 38 kilograms of it every day. They spend most of their time eating or sleeping. Female pandas give birth to one or two babies at a time. Baby pandas are very small, about the size of a mouse, and they are pink with no fur. They open their eyes after six to eight weeks and start eating bamboo when they are about six months old.

Balance of nature Wild animals help keep the ecosystem balanced. For example, birds eat insects, which stops insects from eating too many plants. If birds disappear, insects will grow in number and harm plants. 2. Biodiversity Biodiversity means the variety of living things on Earth. Each animal has a role to play. If one species dies out, it can affect other species. Protecting wild animals helps keep biodiversity. 3. Human survival Wild animals are useful to humans. Some animals provide us with food, like fish. Others help with farming—bees pollinate crops, and bats eat harmful insects. Many medicines are also made from plants and animals. Protecting wild animals is not just about saving them—it’s about saving ourselves. We need to live in harmony with nature. 36. How do birds help keep the ecosystem balanced? A. They eat plants. B. They eat insects. C. They pollinate flowers. D. They help farmers. 37. What does biodiversity mean? A. The number of people. B. The variety of living things. C. The size of animals. D. The color of plants. 38. How do bees help humans? A. They provide food. B. They pollinate crops. C. They make medicine. D. They eat insects. 39. Why is protecting wild animals about saving humans? A. Because animals are cute. B. Because animals can play with humans. C. Because animals are useful to humans. D. Because animals are rare. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Wild animals are dangerous. B. We should protect wild animals for three reasons. C. Wild animals are not important. D. We can live without wild animals. 四、词汇运用(10分,每题1分) (一)根据句意及首字母提示完成单词(5分) 41.
