Here we help with ways to cut your costs. AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £ 169. 15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £ 118.15. If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid--- or you're looking for a big event to pass your time--- check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category. STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday. Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £ 95.95 . A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £ 75.75 . And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £ 62.95 . LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London. Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As a choice consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen, where you can cook. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £ 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults. GET ON A BIKE London’s "Boris bikes' have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programs that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs. Among the smaller cities with their own programs are Newcastle (casual members pay around £ 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day). 11. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________. A. help travelers pass time B. attract lots of travelers to the UK C. allow travelers to make flexible plans D cause travelers to pay more for accommodation 12. "Farringdon" in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________. A. a hotel away from the train station B. the tube line to Covent Garden C. an ideal holiday destination D. the name of a travel agency 13. The passage shows that the O'Neill Flat ________. A. lies on the ground floor B. is located in central London C. provides cooking facilities for tourists D. costs over £100 on average per day in late September 14. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________. A. half an hour B. one hour C. one hour and a half D. two hours 15. The main purpose of the passage is ________. A. to tell visitors how to book in advance B. to supply visitors with hotel information C. to show visitors the importance of self-help D. to offer visitors some money-saving tips B Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, who was then her undergraduate literature professor. He instructed each student to memorize three poems from The Norton Anthology of American Literature — not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future solitude (孤独). At some point, Caetlin recalls him saying, you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have. If the task was a strange one, it’s because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. When I was in graduate school, working toward a degree in English literature, I mostly limited myself to prose. It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem. Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud, my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum (嗡嗡响). Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once, and sometimes I repeated a single stanza (诗节) over and over, and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast, I had the whole thing, all 40 lines of it, in my head. Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you run your hands through the book, the lines at last come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure, often a more valuable one than it was before. In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are. Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep thumping in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become. 16. Why did Robert L. Hass advise students to read poems? A. To become literature professors. B. To prepare for the coming exams. C. To compose more original poems. D. To relieve their future loneliness. 17. What does the underlined word “masked” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Faded. B. Heightened. C. Hided. D. Affected. 18. Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime? A. It’s out of date to recite poems. B. Repetition wastes a lot of time. C. Repetition destroys the poem’s beauty. D. It’s a shame to read poems on plane. 19. How does understanding poetry influence us? A. By broadening self-understanding. B. By refreshing our good memories. C. By helping us survive the hard life. D. By reminding us to forget the past. 20. What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph? A. Doubtful. B. Appreciative. C. Dismissive. D. Critical. C In today’s fast-paced society, ‘Urgency Culture’ is on the rise. This culture is characterized by an addiction to immediate responses, the praise of multitasking and the expectation of constant availability. Among the impacts of urgency culture are increased anxiety and stress. Research on mental health has established that there is more professional and personal burnout happening than ever before. In addition, the rise of urgency culture takes away our ability to do meaningful work as we continue to value quantity over quality. As a project manager, I had to learn the art of slowing down and stepping away from urgency culture. It’s taken me over a decade to let go of a long list of things, including the false belief of being needed by people who are constantly on the end of a phone ringing me. My phone is now on silent. Those who do need to get in touch, message me. I check my messages when I am in between work tasks, and respond when I can, not when others believe that they need me to. I’ve also gotten much better at laying down boundaries. One boundary is saying ‘No’ to things that will cost me labour with no returns, whether this is physical, emotional, monetary or other. The best part about it is that you notice how many friends, workmates or even close relationships disappear when you stop saying yes to everything. It’s to ugh to realise that they preferred you without boundaries, agreeing to their every request, at the cost of your own emotional well-being. But in the long run, you clear the path for better relationships with people who respect and value you more. Now I can manage my life better. The key thing is to acknowledge what you want and if it’s more balance and well-being, walk on a road that will get you there. 21. Which of the following belongs to urgency culture? A. Giving urgent tasks high priority. B. Expectıng others to stay reachable. C. Valuing work quality over quantity. D. Agreeing to others’ requests readily. 22. What does paragraph2 mainly tell us about urgency culture? A. Its harmful effects. B. Its main characteristics. C Its popularity. D. Its definition. 23. Why does the author put his phone on silent? A. To escape frequent social activities. B. To overcome his addiction to the phone. C. To avoid interruption from the project manager. D. To break his habit of making immediate responses. 24. What is the author’s view on setting boundaries? A. It leads to emotional distance. B. It prevents professional growth. C. It improves personal independence. D. It strengthens meaningful relationships. 25. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To warn people of the negative effects of urgency culture. B. To call for people to stop saying yes to everyone. C. To introduce the concept of urgency culture. D. To share his own experience of stepping away from urgency culture. D The giant panda is more than just a cute conservation animal and a beloved media darling. It is also, according to new research, the protector of dozens of other unique Chinese species. The panda itself doesn’t actually defend other wildlife, but it helps to save it all the same by serving as what’s known as an “umbrella species”. In other words, efforts to preserve habitats for the giant panda also protect many other mammals, birds and amphibians (两栖动物) that live only alongside pandas, in the same areas and regions. Conservationists have expressed this umbrella species theory for years but a paper published recently in Biological Conservation proves it. The research found that most of the forest animals in China live within the panda’s geographic range and the nature reserves set aside to protect them. In brief, most of this range overlaps (与……重叠) with important conservation areas for other local forest species. Pandas do protect a lot although a few species fall outside the umbrella. The research found about one hundred kinds of animals are not protected by the giant panda’s current reservation. The paper identified 10 locations that might be suitable for new or improved nature reserves to help expand that coverage. Many of these areas, located in Sichuan Province, which is considered the stronghold (大本营) of giant pandas in the wild, are close to existing reserves. Protecting the newly identified locations, however, won’t save all of China’s unique wildlife. “Pandas are a good umbrella species for forest ecosystems in China but that’s not enough,” says co-author Binbin Li. “In China we have many ecosystems. We need more umbrella species.” For example, she says tigers could serve the same role in the northern part of the country and snow leopards could be an umbrella for grassland species. “The new findings are important,” Pimm (the other author) and Li say, “because many people doubt whether China’s commitment to preserving giant panda habitats is doing much good.” Other people around the world don’t even realize that wild pandas still live in their native forests. “A lot of the resources in China go to releasing captive (被关住的) pandas back into the wild,” Li says. “The news doesn’t cover that.” She says this paper helps display wild pandas and also shows that the expense in preserving them is money well spent. The researchers hope their paper helps to set the tone for future discussions not only about umbrella species but also giant pandas themselves, along with all China’s wildlife. 26. Giant pandas are called an umbrella species because ________. A. they never fight for protected species B. they help take care of other baby animals C. their precious value requires better protection D. the protection for them also extends to other species 27. What can we learn from the research? A. The number of nature reserves may be reduced. B. The coverage of nature reserves may be expanded. C. The giant panda lives in important local conservation areas. D. Many nature reserves in China are located in Sichuan Province. 28. What should people do to protect ecosystems according to Binbin Li? A. Create more kinds of strong species. B. Find more kinds of umbrella species. C. Focus solely on pandas’ conservation. D. Search for much bigger nature reservations. 29 Pimm and Li think the new findings are helpful in ________. A. showing how well pandas are living B. blaming the media for their ignorance C. proving China’s efforts to protect pandas D. appealing to organizations to donate money 30. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The umbrella species have a great influence on the ecosystem. B. Researchers have done a lot to protect China’s local species. C. Giant panda conservation also protects other unique species. D. Conservationists expressed a new umbrella species theory. 三、完形填空：本大题共20小题，共40分。 When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on ____31____ repeat throughout my childhood.

C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个去英国旅游时有效节省费用的方法。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.（大型体育赛事、音乐会和展览会增加住宿成本，更难找到房间。）”可知，提到The Brighton Comedy Festival主要是为了展示可能会导致游客支付更多的住宿费用的重大事件。故选D。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据此部分标题“STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION（远离车站）”以及“If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.（如果你乘火车去你的目的地，你可能想找一个靠近车站的好基地，但是你可能会在假期开始的时候为了方便而花更多的钱。）”可知，靠近车站，交通便利意味着要付出更多的钱。再由下文的举例说明，“£ 95.95、£ 75.75、£ 62.95”这三个数据的对比可知，离车站越近，价格越高，由此推知，价格最便宜的Farringdon很可能是远离车站的一个旅馆。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据LOOK AFTER YOURSELF部分的“As a choice consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen, where you can cook. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile…（作为一种选择，你可以考虑租一套可以自己做饭、自己做饭的公寓。这些公寓通常隐藏在市中心建筑的顶层。位于爱丁堡皇家英里(Royal Mile)的奥尼尔公寓(O'Neill Flat)就是一个很好的例子……）”可知，奥尼尔公寓为游客提供烹饪设施。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Among the smaller cities with their own programs are Newcastle (casual members pay around £ 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).（有自己项目的小城市包括纽卡斯尔(非正式会员每两个小时支付约1.5英镑)和卡迪夫(最多30分钟免费，或每天5英镑)。）”可知，免费使用自行车的最长时限是30分钟，即half an hour。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.（计划访问英国？在这里，我们将帮助您降低成本。）”可知，这篇文章的主要目的是为游客提供一些省钱的小窍门。故选D。 B Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L.

(他要求每个学生从《诺顿美国文学选集》中背诵三首诗 —— 他声称，这不是为了应付紧急考试，而是为了让他们为不可避免的未来孤独做好准备)”可知，Robert L. Hass建议学生读诗是为了缓解他们未来的孤独。故选D项。 【17题详解】 词句猜测题。结合常识和划线词所在句“Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud, my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum (嗡嗡响). (有时我大声朗读诗句，我的声音被飞机的嗡嗡声……)”中“by the airplane’s thrum (嗡嗡响)”可推知，飞机的嗡嗡声会掩盖作者读诗的声音。故划线词masked有“隐藏，掩盖”之意，与C项“hided”意思相符。故选C项。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has.(背诵一首伟大的诗总是一开始就像犯罪一样，因为这个过程既简单又无聊。重复的无聊降低了它的巨大魅力)”可知，重复的枯燥减少了诗歌原有的魅力，即破坏了诗歌的美。因此，作者说背诵诗歌一开始就像是一种罪行，是因为重复破坏了诗歌的美。故选C项。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are. (它之所以能做到这一点，只是因为它是如此独特，与我们如此不同，吸收它能拓展我们对自我的认知)”可知，诗歌之所以能做到这一点，是因为它如此独特，与我们截然不同，吸收它能让我们对自己的认知得以扩展，即理解诗歌可以通过拓宽自我认知来影响我们。故选A项。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become. (我不能向你保证背诵诗歌会让你的生活更美好，但它会让你更充实：更贴近语言，更了解他人的思想，也许还能让你更清楚自己可能成为什么样的人)”可知，作者认为背诵诗歌会让我们更充实，说明他对背诵诗歌持赞赏的态度。故选B项。 C In today’s fast-paced society, ‘Urgency Culture’ is on the rise. This culture is characterized by an addiction to immediate responses, the praise of multitasking and the expectation of constant availability. Among the impacts of urgency culture are increased anxiety and stress. Research on mental health has established that there is more professional and personal burnout happening than ever before. In addition, the rise of urgency culture takes away our ability to do meaningful work as we continue to value quantity over quality. As a project manager, I had to learn the art of slowing down and stepping away from urgency culture. It’s taken me over a decade to let go of a long list of things, including the false belief of being needed by people who are constantly on the end of a phone ringing me. My phone is now on silent. Those who do need to get in touch, message me. I check my messages when I am in between work tasks, and respond when I can, not when others believe that they need me to. I’ve also gotten much better at laying down boundaries. One boundary is saying ‘No’ to things that will cost me labour with no returns, whether this is physical, emotional, monetary or other. The best part about it is that you notice how many friends, workmates or even close relationships disappear when you stop saying yes to everything. It’s to ugh to realise that they preferred you without boundaries, agreeing to their every request, at the cost of your own emotional well-being. But in the long run, you clear the path for better relationships with people who respect and value you more. Now I can manage my life better. The key thing is to acknowledge what you want and if it’s more balance and well-being, walk on a road that will get you there. 21. Which of the following belongs to urgency culture? A. Giving urgent tasks high priority. B. Expectıng others to stay reachable. C. Valuing work quality over quantity. D. Agreeing to others’ requests readily. 22. What does paragraph2 mainly tell us about urgency culture? A. Its harmful effects. B. Its main characteristics. C. Its popularity. D. Its definition. 23. Why does the author put his phone on silent? A. To escape frequent social activities. B. To overcome his addiction to the phone. C. To avoid interruption from the project manager. D. To break his habit of making immediate responses. 24. What is the author’s view on setting boundaries? A. It leads to emotional distance. B. It prevents professional growth. C It improves personal independence. D. It strengthens meaningful relationships. 25. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To warn people of the negative effects of urgency culture. B. To call for people to stop saying yes to everyone. C. To introduce the concept of urgency culture. D. To share his own experience of stepping away from urgency culture. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D 24. D 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了“Urgency Culture”的兴起及其带来的影响，如增加的焦虑和压力、对有质量工作的忽视等。作者通过个人经历，分享了如何摆脱紧迫感文化，学会放慢脚步、设定界限，并更好地管理自己的生活。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In today’s fast-paced society, ‘Urgency Culture’ is on the rise. This culture is characterized by an addiction to immediate responses, the praise of multitasking and the expectation of constant availability.(在当今快节奏的社会中，“Urgency Culture”正在兴起。这种文化的特点是对即时回应的沉迷、对多任务处理的推崇，以及对全天候待命的期待。)”可知，Urgency Culture的特征包括对即时回应的沉迷、对多任务处理的推崇，以及对全天候待命的期待。选项B“Expectıng others to stay reachable.(期待他人保持可联系状态)”与Urgency Culture的特征相符。故选B。 【22题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Among the impacts of urgency culture are increased anxiety and stress. Research on mental health has established that there is more professional and personal burnout happening than ever before. In addition, the rise of urgency culture takes away our ability to do meaningful work as we continue to value quantity over quality.( Urgency Culture带来的影响包括焦虑和压力的增加。心理健康研究表明，职业和个人倦怠比以往任何时候都更普遍。此外，紧急文化的兴起剥夺了我们从事有意义工作的能力，因为我们继续重视数量而非质量。)”可知，该段主要列举Urgency Culture带来的负面影响，如焦虑、倦怠、忽视工作质量等。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“As a project manager, I had to learn the art of slowing down and stepping away from urgency culture. It’s taken me over a decade to let go of a long list of things, including the false belief of being needed by people who are constantly on the end of a phone ringing me. My phone is now on silent. Those who do need to get in touch, message me. I check my messages when I am in between work tasks, and respond when I can, not when others believe that they need me to.(作为一名项目经理，我不得不学习放慢脚步、远离urgency culture的艺术。我花了十多年时间才放下一长串事情，包括一种错误的信念——认为那些不断打电话给我的人需要我。现在我的手机一直处于静音状态。真正需要联系我的人会给我发消息。我会在工作任务的间隙查看信息，并在我方便的时候回复，而不是在别人认为他们需要我回复的时候。)”可知，作者将手机静音是为了摆脱urgency culture中“即时回应”的习惯，按照自己的节奏处理信息。故选D。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But in the long run, you clear the path for better relationships with people who respect and value you more.(但从长远来看，你为与那些更尊重和重视你的人建立更好的关系扫清了道路。)”可知，作者认为设定界限虽然会让一些人离开，但从长远来看会为与更尊重和重视自己的人建立更好的关系扫清道路，即强化有意义的人际关系。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，作者以自身经历为线索，讲述了作为项目经理如何摆脱Urgency Culture，包括静音手机、设定界限等具体做法，并强调这些改变带来的积极影响（如更好地管理生活、建立优质关系）。由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了分享个人经验。故选D。 D The giant panda is more than just a cute conservation animal and a beloved media darling. It is also, according to new research, the protector of dozens of other unique Chinese species. The panda itself doesn’t actually defend other wildlife, but it helps to save it all the same by serving as what’s known as an “umbrella species”. In other words, efforts to preserve habitats for the giant panda also protect many other mammals, birds and amphibians (两栖动物) that live only alongside pandas, in the same areas and regions. Conservationists have expressed this umbrella species theory for years but a paper published recently in Biological Conservation proves it. The research found that most of the forest animals in China live within the panda’s geographic range and the nature reserves set aside to protect them. In brief, most of this range overlaps (与……重叠) with important conservation areas for other local forest species. Pandas do protect a lot although a few species fall outside the umbrella. The research found about one hundred kinds of animals are not protected by the giant panda’s current reservation. The paper identified 10 locations that might be suitable for new or improved nature reserves to help expand that coverage. Many of these areas, located in Sichuan Province, which is considered the stronghold (大本营) of giant pandas in the wild, are close to existing reserves. Protecting the newly identified locations, however, won’t save all of China’s unique wildlife. “Pandas are a good umbrella species for forest ecosystems in China but that’s not enough,” says co-author Binbin Li. “In China we have many ecosystems. We need more umbrella species.” For example, she says tigers could serve the same role in the northern part of the country and snow leopards could be an umbrella for grassland species. “The new findings are important,” Pimm (the other author) and Li say, “because many people doubt whether China’s commitment to preserving giant panda habitats is doing much good.” Other people around the world don’t even realize that wild pandas still live in their native forests. “A lot of the resources in China go to releasing captive (被关住的) pandas back into the wild,” Li says. “The news doesn’t cover that.” She says this paper helps display wild pandas and also shows that the expense in preserving them is money well spent. The researchers hope their paper helps to set the tone for future discussions not only about umbrella species but also giant pandas themselves, along with all China’s wildlife. 26. Giant pandas are called an umbrella species because ________. A they never fight for protected species B. they help take care of other baby animals C. their precious value requires better protection D. the protection for them also extends to other species 27. What can we learn from the research? A. The number of nature reserves may be reduced. B. The coverage of nature reserves may be expanded. C. The giant panda lives in important local conservation areas. D. Many nature reserves in China are located in Sichuan Province. 28. What should people do to protect ecosystems according to Binbin Li? A. Create more kinds of strong species. B. Find more kinds of umbrella species. C. Focus solely on pandas’ conservation. D. Search for much bigger nature reservations. 29. Pimm and Li think the new findings are helpful in ________. A. showing how well pandas are living B. blaming the media for their ignorance C. proving China’s efforts to protect pandas D. appealing to organizations to donate money 30. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The umbrella species have a great influence on the ecosystem. B. Researchers have done a lot to protect China’s local species. C. Giant panda conservation also protects other unique species. D. Conservationists expressed a new umbrella species theory. 【答案】26. D 27. B 28. B 29. C 30. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过大熊猫讲述了伞形物种理论，即保护大熊猫栖息地的努力也保护了许多与大熊猫生活在同一地区的其他哺乳动物、鸟类和两栖动物。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中的“In other words, efforts to preserve habitats for the giant panda also protect many other mammals, birds and amphibians (两栖动物) that live only alongside pandas, in the same areas and regions.(换言之，保护大熊猫栖息地的努力也保护了许多其他哺乳动物、鸟类和两栖动物，这些动物只与大熊猫生活在同一地区)”可知，大熊猫被称为保护伞物种，是因为对它们的保护也延伸到了对其他物种的保护。故选D项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中的“The paper identified 10 locations that might be suitable for new or improved nature reserves to help expand that coverage. (该论文确定了10个可能适合新建或改善自然保护区的地点，以帮助扩大覆盖范围)”可知，自然保护区的覆盖范围可能会扩大。故选B项。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段中的““In China we have many ecosystems. We need more umbrella species.” For example, she says tigers could serve the same role in the northern part of the country and snow leopards could be an umbrella for grassland species.(“在中国，我们有很多生态系统。我们需要更多的保护伞。”例如，她说老虎可以在中国北部发挥同样的作用，雪豹可以成为草原物种的一个保护伞)”可知，Binbin Li认为，人们应该寻找更多种类的伞形物种来保护生态系统。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的““The new findings are important,” Pimm (the other author) and Li say, “because many people doubt whether China’s commitment to preserving giant panda habitats is doing much good.”(Pimm（另一位作者）和Li说：“新发现很重要，因为许多人怀疑中国保护大熊猫栖息地的承诺是否做得好。”)”和“She says this paper helps display wild pandas and also shows that the expense in preserving them is money well spent. (她说，这篇论文有助于展示野生大熊猫，也表明保护它们的费用花得很好)”可知，Pimm和Li认为新发现对证明中国为保护大熊猫所做的努力有帮助。故选C项。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段中的“It is also, according to new research, the protector of dozens of other unique Chinese species. (根据新的研究，大熊猫也是数十种其他独特的中国物种的保护者)”和最后一段“The researchers hope their paper helps to set the tone for future discussions not only about umbrella species but also giant pandas themselves, along with all China’s wildlife. (研究人员希望他们的论文有助于为未来的讨论定下基调，不仅是关于保护伞物种，还有大熊猫本身，以及所有中国野生动物)”可知，文章通过大熊猫讲述了伞形物种理论，即保护大熊猫栖息地的努力也保护了许多与大熊猫生活在同一地区的其他哺乳动物、鸟类和两栖动物，C项“保护大熊猫还能保护其他独特物种”符合文意。故选C项。 三、完形填空：本大题共20小题，共40分。 When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on ____31____ repeat throughout my childhood.
