They are known for their black and white fur and cute looks. Pandas live mainly in the bamboo forests of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces in China. Bamboo is the most important food for pandas. A panda can eat up to 15 kilograms of bamboo a day. Because bamboo is low in nutrients, pandas have to spend a lot of time eating—about 12 hours a day! Pandas are good at climbing trees and swimming. They are usually quiet and gentle, but they can be dangerous if they feel threatened (受到威胁). In the past, pandas were endangered because of habitat loss and hunting. Now, thanks to China’s protection efforts, the number of pandas has increased. In 2021, the giant panda was removed from the “endangered” list and reclassified as “vulnerable (易危)”. This is a great success for wildlife protection. ( )26. Where do giant pandas mainly live? A. In the forests of Europe. B. In the bamboo forests of China. C. In the deserts of Africa. D.

Because of disease and old age. B. Because of habitat loss and hunting. C. Because of lack of food and water. D. Because of natural disasters. B 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，判断下列句子的正(T)误(F)。 The Amazing Venus Flytrap The venus flytrap is a small carnivorous plant that grows in wet, poor soil in the eastern United States. It is famous for its ability to catch and eat insects. The venus flytrap has special leaves that look like little traps. Each trap has small hairs on the inside. When an insect touches these hairs twice within 20 seconds, the trap closes quickly, trapping the insect inside. The plant then releases enzymes (酶) to digest the insect and get nutrients from it. The venus flytrap is not a dangerous plant for humans. It is just a small plant that eats insects to get the nutrients it needs from the poor soil. However, the venus flytrap is now endangered. People collect them from the wild to sell as houseplants, and their habitat is being destroyed. We need to protect this amazing plant. ( )31. The venus flytrap grows in dry, rich soil. ( )32. The venus flytrap catches insects to get nutrients. ( )33. The trap closes when an insect touches the hairs once. ( )34. The venus flytrap is dangerous to humans. ( )35.
