They are huge and strong, with long noses called trunks, big fan-shaped ears and long white tusks. Elephants have great abilities. They can carry heavy things easily, swim well in water, and have amazing memories to help them find their way easily. They are gentle, smart and friendly to humans, and they usually live in groups. However, elephants are now in great danger. People cut down forests, so they lose their living places. What's worse, some people hunt them illegally for their ivory, making their numbers drop quickly. We must take action to protect them. First, governments should make strict laws to stop ivory trade. Second, we should build more nature reserves for them to live safely. Most importantly, we should never buy products made of ivory. Let's work together to save elephants! 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年八年级下册英语单元自测（广州专用） Unit 5·培优卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：100分钟，满分：110分） 一、语言知识运用。(本大题共2大题，共25分) 第一节 语法选择(本大题共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分) 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处选择一个适当的选项。 Last summer, I visited a wildlife rescue center with my classmates.

The keepers are getting meat ready for the tigers’ breakfast. By 7:30 a.m., the tigers are awake and hungry. They walk around their space and make loud sounds. When they see the keepers, they come close, some even standing up to reach for their food.   Li Ming, a tiger keeper, says, “They are strong and beautiful. I take care of them every day. I wash their cages, feed them, and watch how they act. Each tiger is different. They are very special to me.” Siberian tigers, are big cats with orange fur and black stripes. They are a symbol of power and nature. But now, they are in danger. Scientists think fewer than 600 wild Siberian tigers live in the world, mostly in Russia (俄罗斯) and China. About 200 more live in zoos.   Why are they in danger?   ● Less forest: People cut down trees for wood and farms, so tigers have less space.   ● Illegal (非法的) Hunting: Some people kill tigers for their fur and bones.   ● Not enough food: Tigers eat deer and small animals like rabbits, but these animals are also disappearing.   ● Tigers do not have many babies. A mother tiger usually has 2 or 3 cubs (幼崽) every 2-3 years. Many cubs die young. Adult tigers need a lot of space to find food, but forests are getting smaller.   At the Siberian Tiger Park, workers help tigers have babies and study them. Schools teach kids about tiger protection. The government and other groups are working hard to save these amazing animals. If we keep helping, maybe one day there will be more tigers in the wild again. 21. What time do the Siberian tigers at the park usually wake up? A. 6:30 a.m. B. 7:00 a.m. C. 7:30 a.m. D. 7:50 a.m. 22. How many Siberian tigers live in the wild? A. about 200 B. more than 600 C. fewer than 600 D. 600 23. What does tiger keeper Li Ming do every day? A. Clean the tigers’ house carefully. B. Play with the tigers and keep them strong. C. Sell tigers’ bones to the hunters. D. Help the tigers give birth to fewer babies. 24. Which of the following is NOT a reason Siberian tigers are endangered? A. The forests are getting smaller. B. The hunters may kill them for money. C. Too many cubs are born every year. D. The food is not enough. 25. Which do you think is a good way to help Siberian tigers? A. Planting more trees to make new forests for tigers. B. Feeding more Siberian tigers in the zoo. C. Hunting deer and small animals for tigers. D. Cutting down more forests. B The US Fish and Wildlife Service recently announced a warning, saying that Antarctica’s emperor penguins （帝企鹅）are in danger of disappearing because of the rising temperature. The announcement officially calls for protections of emperor penguins under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Antarctica is home to the flightless seabirds. They need sea ice to reproduce, hunt for food and avoid other animals. But warming oceans caused by climate change have harmed the emperor penguins’ sea ice environment. If carbon emissions continue to rise, temperatures will as well, leading to more sea-ice disappearance. This harm could result in the emperor penguins disappearing in the near future. Climate change has made emperor penguins reproduce less and less. One example is the Halley Bay colony (群) in the Weddell Sea, the second-largest emperor penguin colony in the world. Several years of poor ice conditions in areas around the colony led to the drowning of all newborn emperor penguins beginning in 2016. The warning is designed to improve international efforts to protect emperor penguins. The action also requires the government to take steps to reduce their threats. Shaye Wolf is the climate science director Center for the US-based for Biological Diversity. She said emperor penguins need “immediate climate action” in order to survive. “The penguin’s life depends on whether our government takes strong action now to cut climate-heating fossil fuels (化石燃料) and prevent harm to life on Earth,” Wolf said. 26. What can we know about emperor penguins? A. They are being hunted. B. They reproduce quickly. C. They are leaving the polluted ice. D. They depend on sea ice to survive. 27. As to the reasons why emperor penguins will die out, which of the following is NOT mentioned? A. The warming oceans. B. The carbon emissions. C. The disappearance of sea ice. D. The reproduction of other animals. 28. What happened at Halley Bay? A. No penguins survived there. B. Ice conditions there have gotten terrible. C. Lots of fossil fuels have been found there. D. All newborn penguins escaped. 29. According to Shaye Wolf, how can we keep emperor penguins alive? A. By saving as much energy as possible. B. By slowing down climate change immediately. C. By making enough ice for emperor penguins. D. By finding a new way to use fossil fuels. 30. For what purpose does the writer write the passage? A. To tell people how to protect the climate. B. To share his opinion on climate change. C. To introduce emperor penguins’ bad sea ice environment. D. To ask human to take action to protect emperor penguins. C When it comes to “panda”, we may think of the “giant panda”. In 1869, the giant panda was found in Sichuan, China and soon became popular all over the world. But in fact, before 1869, the word “panda” mostly referred to the “red panda” with reddish-brown fur (毛).The red panda, also known as the lesser panda, mainly lives in the Eastern Himalayas in places like China, Nepal and Bhutan. It belongs to the family Ailuridae (小熊猫科). People thought that it was a member of the bear family at first. But researchers finally grouped the red panda into its own independent family according to DNA research results. The research also showed that the red panda is a close relative to the raccoon (浣熊), but it is not closely related to the giant panda, which belongs to the bear family. Red pandas are in danger of dying out, according to experts in wildlife protection. The number of red pandas around the world has gone down by half in the last twenty years. The biggest challenge for red pandas is that they are losing their homes because humans are cutting down trees for wood and clearing land for farming. What’s more, some people even catch red pandas to make clothes like hats with their special fur. There are some events around the world to protect red pandas, but they still need more help. To protect red pandas better, it’s necessary to draw more public attention to them. International Red Panda Day was set up for this reason. It is on the third Saturday of September every year. There are many things middle school students can do for red pandas. You can read a book or watch a video about these amazing animals, join an International Red Panda Day activity near you, see red pandas at your local zoo and share articles and pictures about red pandas on social media. 31. What can we learn about red pandas? A. Most red pandas live in China. B. The lack (缺乏) of food has put them in danger. C. Grouping them into a family isn’t a simple task. D. There are many more red pandas than giant pandas in the wild. 32. Which of the following is the most similar in DNA to the red panda? A. The giant panda. B. The raccoon. C. The bear. D. The fox. 33. How much has the number of red pandas dropped by in the last 20 years? A. 50%. B. 40%. C. 30%. D. 60%. 34. Why was International Red Panda Day set up? A. To study red pandas more easily. B. To celebrate the discovery of red pandas. C. To make red pandas more popular in zoos. D. To draw public attention to red panda protection. 35. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Red pandas and bears belong to the same family. B. International Red Panda Day only interests adults. C. More people should take part in red panda protection. D. Red pandas will die out in the next twenty years from now. 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文及文后的A～E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。 Arctic foxes (北极狐) live in the Arctic. They grow to be about 50 centimeters long, not including the tail, 30 centimeters tall and weigh from 3 to 7 kilos. 36 The white ones are white in winter, but gray-brown in summer. The blue ones are blue-gray all year round. 37 And the long fur covers their whole body to keep them warm in the low temperature in the Arctic. Arctic foxes mainly feed on birds, birds’ eggs and other small animals. Teamwork is the way they look for food. 38 Baby Arctic foxes are very lovely. They don’t open their eyes until a week after their birth. 39 They begin to look for food on their own when they are about six months old. The next year they can live alone. Now the number of Arctic foxes is becoming smaller and smaller, because people kill them for their fur to make beautiful coats. 40 A. We must do something to protect Arctic foxes. B. They don’t like to do it alone. C. For the first half of the year, their parents offer them food. D. Arctic foxes are white or blue in color. E. Arctic foxes have long and thick fur. 三、项目情境题(读写综合)。(本大题共2大题，共20分) 第一节 信息匹配(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 左栏是五则野生动物的信息，右栏是七种保护建议，请将动物信息与保护建议进行配对。有两项是多余的。 41 Some giant pandas died in the big earthquake in Sichuan. Their homes are destroyed in the earthquake. 42 Many rivers and lakes are circled into fields. So there is no environment for Chinese Alligators (扬子鳄) to live. So there are fewer of them now. 43 People like to wear the Shahtoosh (羚羊绒) in western countries. So many Xizangan Antelopes (藏羚羊) are killed for their fur. Now Xizangan Antelopes are endangered. 44 Since many trees are cut down, tigers have no place to hide and people can kill them easily. 45 Nowadays seas and oceans are polluted by people and factories. Ships throw rubbish and other waste things into them. So there are fewer and fewer Yangtze River dolphins (白鳍豚) now. A. Take measures to supervise(监管) Ask the factory workers not to pour waste water into the lakes or rivers nearby. Organize the people to clean the rivers and lakes around the city. B. Refresh the polluted air The polluted air given off by factories will do great harm to our health, so the factory workers should be asked not to pollute air. C. Improve weather condition Stop the weather from getting warm. Try to save the ice field in the North Pole (北极). D. Protect natural area Build up a Xizangan Antelopes natural area in Xizang Plateau (青藏高原). Try to educate and advise the people not to wear Shahtoosh. E. Keep the seas and oceans clean Ask people not to pollute seas and oceans. The government should take measures to punish those who polluted the seas and oceans. Do what we can to make the beaches clean and beautiful. F. Rebuild some places Rebuild some places that are fit for pandas to live in. Try to protect the pandas that have survived the earthquake. G. Plant trees Plant more trees so that the animals can live and hide in the forests. Take measures to forbid people from killing the wild animals. 第二节 回答问题(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题，要求所写答案语法正确，语义完整切题。 Wild animals are our friends, and they play a key role in keeping the balance of nature. However, more and more animals are becoming endangered nowadays. According to a report, over 28,000 species (物种) are at risk of disappearing forever. The main reasons are habitat loss, illegal hunting, and pollution. For example, elephants are hunted for their ivory, and tigers are killed for their fur. To protect endangered animals, many countries have set up nature reserves where animals can live safely. Laws have been made to stop illegal hunting and trading of animal products. Also, many organizations are working to raise people’s awareness about animal protection. We can do our part too: we can refuse to buy products made from endangered animals, reduce pollution, and join volunteer activities to protect them. As human beings, we should value every life on Earth. Animals are important to nature, and they keep the balance of our planet. If they die out, our world will be less beautiful and less lively. Let's work together to protect wild animals and build a better home for all living things. 46.

They use it to find things under the water. Scientists believe dolphins can even talk to each other through a special whistle(哨子声). Just like people from different places speak different languages, there are different kinds of dolphins' whistles, which help them r 53 members of their own group. Dolphins live in the sea, but they are not a kind of fish. They have babies in the way that cows and cats do, and feed their babies with milk. A female dolphin has a baby every two to three years.

C When it comes to “panda”, we may think of the “giant panda”. In 1869, the giant panda was found in Sichuan, China and soon became popular all over the world. But in fact, before 1869, the word “panda” mostly referred to the “red panda” with reddish-brown fur (毛).The red panda, also known as the lesser panda, mainly lives in the Eastern Himalayas in places like China, Nepal and Bhutan. It belongs to the family Ailuridae (小熊猫科). People thought that it was a member of the bear family at first. But researchers finally grouped the red panda into its own independent family according to DNA research results. The research also showed that the red panda is a close relative to the raccoon (浣熊), but it is not closely related to the giant panda, which belongs to the bear family. Red pandas are in danger of dying out, according to experts in wildlife protection. The number of red pandas around the world has gone down by half in the last twenty years. The biggest challenge for red pandas is that they are losing their homes because humans are cutting down trees for wood and clearing land for farming. What’s more, some people even catch red pandas to make clothes like hats with their special fur. There are some events around the world to protect red pandas, but they still need more help. To protect red pandas better, it’s necessary to draw more public attention to them. International Red Panda Day was set up for this reason. It is on the third Saturday of September every year. There are many things middle school students can do for red pandas. You can read a book or watch a video about these amazing animals, join an International Red Panda Day activity near you, see red pandas at your local zoo and share articles and pictures about red pandas on social media. 31. What can we learn about red pandas? A. Most red pandas live in China. B. The lack (缺乏) of food has put them in danger. C. Grouping them into a family isn’t a simple task. D. There are many more red pandas than giant pandas in the wild. 32. Which of the following is the most similar in DNA to the red panda? A. The giant panda. B. The raccoon. C. The bear. D. The fox. 33. How much has the number of red pandas dropped by in the last 20 years? A. 50%. B. 40%. C. 30%. D. 60%. 34. Why was International Red Panda Day set up? A. To study red pandas more easily. B. To celebrate the discovery of red pandas. C. To make red pandas more popular in zoos. D. To draw public attention to red panda protection. 35. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Red pandas and bears belong to the same family. B. International Red Panda Day only interests adults. C. More people should take part in red panda protection. D. Red pandas will die out in the next twenty years from now. 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文及文后的A～E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。 Arctic foxes (北极狐) live in the Arctic. They grow to be about 50 centimeters long, not including the tail, 30 centimeters tall and weigh from 3 to 7 kilos. 36 The white ones are white in winter, but gray-brown in summer. The blue ones are blue-gray all year round. 37 And the long fur covers their whole body to keep them warm in the low temperature in the Arctic. Arctic foxes mainly feed on birds, birds’ eggs and other small animals. Teamwork is the way they look for food. 38 Baby Arctic foxes are very lovely. They don’t open their eyes until a week after their birth. 39 They begin to look for food on their own when they are about six months old. The next year they can live alone. Now the number of Arctic foxes is becoming smaller and smaller, because people kill them for their fur to make beautiful coats. 40 A. We must do something to protect Arctic foxes. B. They don’t like to do it alone. C. For the first half of the year, their parents offer them food. D. Arctic foxes are white or blue in color. E.

Their homes are destroyed in the earthquake. 42 Many rivers and lakes are circled into fields. So there is no environment for Chinese Alligators (扬子鳄) to live. So there are fewer of them now. 43 People like to wear the Shahtoosh (羚羊绒) in western countries. So many Xizangan Antelopes (藏羚羊) are killed for their fur. Now Xizangan Antelopes are endangered. 44 Since many trees are cut down, tigers have no place to hide and people can kill them easily. 45 Nowadays seas and oceans are polluted by people and factories. Ships throw rubbish and other waste things into them. So there are fewer and fewer Yangtze River dolphins (白鳍豚) now. A. Take measures to supervise(监管) Ask the factory workers not to pour waste water into the lakes or rivers nearby. Organize the people to clean the rivers and lakes around the city. B.

However, more and more animals are becoming endangered nowadays. According to a report, over 28,000 species (物种) are at risk of disappearing forever. The main reasons are habitat loss, illegal hunting, and pollution. For example, elephants are hunted for their ivory, and tigers are killed for their fur. To protect endangered animals, many countries have set up nature reserves where animals can live safely. Laws have been made to stop illegal hunting and trading of animal products. Also, many organizations are working to raise people’s awareness about animal protection. We can do our part too: we can refuse to buy products made from endangered animals, reduce pollution, and join volunteer activities to protect them. As human beings, we should value every life on Earth. Animals are important to nature, and they keep the balance of our planet. If they die out, our world will be less beautiful and less lively. Let's work together to protect wild animals and build a better home for all living things. 46.

The keepers are getting meat ready for the tigers’ breakfast. By 7:30 a.m., the tigers are awake and hungry. They walk around their space and make loud sounds. When they see the keepers, they come close, some even standing up to reach for their food.   Li Ming, a tiger keeper, says, “They are strong and beautiful. I take care of them every day. I wash their cages, feed them, and watch how they act. Each tiger is different. They are very special to me.” Siberian tigers, are big cats with orange fur and black stripes. They are a symbol of power and nature. But now, they are in danger. Scientists think fewer than 600 wild Siberian tigers live in the world, mostly in Russia (俄罗斯) and China. About 200 more live in zoos.   Why are they in danger?   ● Less forest: People cut down trees for wood and farms, so tigers have less space.   ● Illegal (非法的) Hunting: Some people kill tigers for their fur and bones.   ● Not enough food: Tigers eat deer and small animals like rabbits, but these animals are also disappearing.   ● Tigers do not have many babies. A mother tiger usually has 2 or 3 cubs (幼崽) every 2-3 years. Many cubs die young. Adult tigers need a lot of space to find food, but forests are getting smaller.   At the Siberian Tiger Park, workers help tigers have babies and study them. Schools teach kids about tiger protection. The government and other groups are working hard to save these amazing animals. If we keep helping, maybe one day there will be more tigers in the wild again. 21. What time do the Siberian tigers at the park usually wake up? A. 6:30 a.m. B. 7:00 a.m. C. 7:30 a.m. D. 7:50 a.m. 22. How many Siberian tigers live in the wild? A. about 200 B. more than 600 C. fewer than 600 D. 600 23. What does tiger keeper Li Ming do every day? A. Clean the tigers’ house carefully. B. Play with the tigers and keep them strong. C. Sell tigers’ bones to the hunters. D. Help the tigers give birth to fewer babies. 24. Which of the following is NOT a reason Siberian tigers are endangered? A. The forests are getting smaller. B. The hunters may kill them for money. C. Too many cubs are born every year. D. The food is not enough. 25. Which do you think is a good way to help Siberian tigers? A. Planting more trees to make new forests for tigers. B. Feeding more Siberian tigers in the zoo. C. Hunting deer and small animals for tigers. D. Cutting down more forests. 【答案】21．C 22．C 23．A 24．C 25．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了东北虎的生存现状，并阐明它们的体型特征、现存数量、生活习性、濒危原因及保护措施。 21. 细节理解题。根据“By 7:30 a.m., the tigers are awake and hungry.”可知，到早上7:30，老虎们醒来，而且很饿。故选C。 22. 细节理解题。根据“Scientists think fewer than 600 wild Siberian tigers live in the world,”可知，科学家认为世界上的东北虎不足600只。故选C。 23. 细节理解题。根据“I take care of them every day. I wash their cages, feed them, and watch how they act.”可知，每天都照顾它们，清洗它们的笼子，喂食，观察它们的行为。此处指仔细打扫老虎的家。故选A。 24. 细节理解题。根据“Tigers do not have many babies.

Less forest: People cut down trees for wood and farms, so tigers have less space.”可知，人们砍伐树木以获取木材和开垦农田，因此东北虎的生存空间减少了。此处可以通过种植更多树木以建立新的森林来保护东北虎，即扩大生存空间。故选A。 B The US Fish and Wildlife Service recently announced a warning, saying that Antarctica’s emperor penguins （帝企鹅）are in danger of disappearing because of the rising temperature. The announcement officially calls for protections of emperor penguins under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Antarctica is home to the flightless seabirds. They need sea ice to reproduce, hunt for food and avoid other animals. But warming oceans caused by climate change have harmed the emperor penguins’ sea ice environment. If carbon emissions continue to rise, temperatures will as well, leading to more sea-ice disappearance. This harm could result in the emperor penguins disappearing in the near future. Climate change has made emperor penguins reproduce less and less. One example is the Halley Bay colony (群) in the Weddell Sea, the second-largest emperor penguin colony in the world. Several years of poor ice conditions in areas around the colony led to the drowning of all newborn emperor penguins beginning in 2016. The warning is designed to improve international efforts to protect emperor penguins. The action also requires the government to take steps to reduce their threats. Shaye Wolf is the climate science director Center for the US-based for Biological Diversity. She said emperor penguins need “immediate climate action” in order to survive. “The penguin’s life depends on whether our government takes strong action now to cut climate-heating fossil fuels (化石燃料) and prevent harm to life on Earth,” Wolf said. 26. What can we know about emperor penguins? A. They are being hunted. B. They reproduce quickly. C. They are leaving the polluted ice. D. They depend on sea ice to survive. 27. As to the reasons why emperor penguins will die out, which of the following is NOT mentioned? A. The warming oceans. B. The carbon emissions. C. The disappearance of sea ice. D. The reproduction of other animals. 28. What happened at Halley Bay? A. No penguins survived there. B. Ice conditions there have gotten terrible. C. Lots of fossil fuels have been found there. D. All newborn penguins escaped. 29. According to Shaye Wolf, how can we keep emperor penguins alive? A. By saving as much energy as possible. B. By slowing down climate change immediately. C. By making enough ice for emperor penguins. D. By finding a new way to use fossil fuels. 30. For what purpose does the writer write the passage? A. To tell people how to protect the climate. B. To share his opinion on climate change. C. To introduce emperor penguins’ bad sea ice environment. D. To ask human to take action to protect emperor penguins. 【参考答案】26. D 27. D 28. B 29. B 30. D 【导语】本文讲述了由于气温上升、气候变化导致海冰环境受损，帝企鹅面临消失的危险，介绍了帝企鹅受威胁的原因、具体事例，并呼吁采取行动保护帝企鹅。 26. 细节理解题。根据文中“The emperor penguins need sea ice to reproduce, hunt for food and avoid other animals.”可知，帝企鹅依赖海冰生存。故选D。 27. 细节理解题。根据文中“But warming oceans caused by climate change have harmed the emperor penguins’ sea-ice environment. If carbon emissions continue to rise, temperatures will as well, leading to more sea-ice disappearance.”可知，文中未提及其他动物的繁殖。故选D。 28. 细节理解题。根据文中“Several years of poor ice conditions in areas around the colony led to the drowning of all newborn emperor penguins beginning in 2016.”可知，海冰状况变得很糟糕。故选B。 29. 细节理解题。根据文中“She said emperor penguins need ‘immediate climate action’ in order to survive.”可知，需要立即减缓气候变化来拯救帝企鹅。故选B。 30. 主旨大意题。根据文中“The action also requires the government to take steps to reduce their threats.”以及全文内容可知，文章呼吁人类采取行动保护帝企鹅。故选D。 C When it comes to “panda”, we may think of the “giant panda”. In 1869, the giant panda was found in Sichuan, China and soon became popular all over the world. But in fact, before 1869, the word “panda” mostly referred to the “red panda” with reddish-brown fur (毛).The red panda, also known as the lesser panda, mainly lives in the Eastern Himalayas in places like China, Nepal and Bhutan. It belongs to the family Ailuridae (小熊猫科). People thought that it was a member of the bear family at first. But researchers finally grouped the red panda into its own independent family according to DNA research results. The research also showed that the red panda is a close relative to the raccoon (浣熊), but it is not closely related to the giant panda, which belongs to the bear family. Red pandas are in danger of dying out, according to experts in wildlife protection. The number of red pandas around the world has gone down by half in the last twenty years. The biggest challenge for red pandas is that they are losing their homes because humans are cutting down trees for wood and clearing land for farming. What’s more, some people even catch red pandas to make clothes like hats with their special fur. There are some events around the world to protect red pandas, but they still need more help. To protect red pandas better, it’s necessary to draw more public attention to them. International Red Panda Day was set up for this reason. It is on the third Saturday of September every year. There are many things middle school students can do for red pandas. You can read a book or watch a video about these amazing animals, join an International Red Panda Day activity near you, see red pandas at your local zoo and share articles and pictures about red pandas on social media. 31. What can we learn about red pandas? A. Most red pandas live in China. B. The lack (缺乏) of food has put them in danger. C. Grouping them into a family isn’t a simple task. D. There are many more red pandas than giant pandas in the wild. 32. Which of the following is the most similar in DNA to the red panda? A. The giant panda. B. The raccoon. C. The bear. D. The fox. 33. How much has the number of red pandas dropped by in the last 20 years? A. 50%. B. 40%. C. 30%. D. 60%. 34. Why was International Red Panda Day set up? A. To study red pandas more easily. B. To celebrate the discovery of red pandas. C. To make red pandas more popular in zoos. D. To draw public attention to red panda protection. 35. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A.
