People like them because they stay strong even in difficult times. Artists started to paint plum blossoms 1,600 years ago. The orchid (兰花) grows in mountains. People name it one of China’s “Ten Famous Flowers”. It is a symbol of elegance (优雅) because it looks nice and soft in the wind. The bamboo is thin but strong. It’s a symbol of tolerance (耐力) and open-mindedness (豁达). Su Shi once wrote down “Rather eat without meat than live without the bamboo” in his poem to show his love for the bamboo. Chinese people began growing chrysanthemums (菊花) more than 3,000 years ago. It stands for the strength to get over life’s challenges.

B The Amazing Giant Panda Giant pandas are one of the most popular animals in the world. 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．In the mountains of America. 27．How much bamboo can a panda eat in a day? A．Up to 5 kilograms. B．Up to 10 kilograms. C．Up to 15 kilograms. D．Up to 20 kilograms. 28．Why do pandas spend so much time eating? A．Because they are very lazy. B．Because bamboo is low in nutrients. C．Because they like eating very much. D．Because bamboo is hard to find. 29．What are pandas good at? A．Climbing trees and swimming. B．Running fast and jumping high. C．Singing and dancing. D．Flying and hunting. 30．Why were pandas endangered in the past? A．Because of disease and old age. B．Because of habitat loss and hunting. C．Because of a lack of food and water. D．Because of natural disasters. C 请阅读下面语篇，根据每段内容，与对应选项匹配。 In the wonderful world of “Zootopia”, the main characters live an interesting life. Their images are based on (基于) different animals.

Grass is also an amazing plant: it can grow back very quickly 14 being cut or eaten by animals, so people can make soft football fields and lawns with it. The Venus flytrap is famous 15 a meat-eating plant. Its leaves look like small “traps” with tiny “teeth”. When a fly lands on its leaf, the trap closes in less than a second, and the plant gets nutrition (营养) from the insect. It is 16 stranger than any other common plant you know. Camels are called the “ships of the desert”. They can live in the hot, dry desert 17 they store water in their bodies and their wide feet help them walk easily on sand.

People like them because they stay strong even in difficult times. Artists started to paint plum blossoms 1,600 years ago. The orchid (兰花) grows in mountains. People name it one of China’s “Ten Famous Flowers”. It is a symbol of elegance (优雅) because it looks nice and soft in the wind. The bamboo is thin but strong.

B The Amazing Giant Panda Giant pandas are one of the most popular animals in the world. 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)”.
