三、阅读理解
Pandas are one of the most beloved animals in the world, native to China. They are famous for their black-and-white fur and love for bamboo. However, pandas once faced serious danger of extinction.
In the 1970s, only about 1,000 wild pandas were left. Their habitats were destroyed as forests were cut down for farming and construction. Besides, pandas have a low reproduction rate—females only give birth to one or two cubs every two years, and many cubs don't survive into adulthood.
To save pandas, the Chinese government took immediate action. Over 60 nature reserves were set up to provide safe living spaces for pandas. Scientists also worked hard to help pandas reproduce in zoos. Thanks to these efforts, the number of wild pandas has increased to over 1,800 today. Pandas are no longer classified as "endangered" but remain "vulnerable".
Now, pandas are seen as a symbol of China and a sign of hope for all endangered animals. We must continue protecting their habitats to ensure they can live happily in the wild.
( )1. What is pandas' favorite food
A. Meat B. Bamboo C. Fruit D. Grass
( )2. How many wild pandas were there in the 1970s
A. About 1,000 B. About 1,800 C. About 60 D. About 2,000
( )3. Why were pandas once in danger of extinction
A. Because they had too many cubs.
B. Because their habitats were destroyed and they reproduced slowly.
C. Because people hunted them for their fur.
D. Because they refused to eat bamboo.
( )4. What did the Chinese government do to protect pandas
A. They cut down more forests.
B. They set up nature reserves.
C. They moved all pandas to zoos.
D. They stopped people from growing bamboo.
( )5. What is pandas' current conservation status
A. Endangered B. Extinct C. Vulnerable D. Common

Protecting endangered animals is not just a job for scientists—it's a responsibility everyone can take on. Here are some practical ways to help:
First, learn about endangered animals. You can read books, watch wildlife documentaries, or visit official websites to understand their living habits and threats they face. The more you know, the better you can help.
Second, support wildlife conservation organizations. You can donate money, volunteer your time for community activities, or even adopt an animal symbolically. Many organizations focus on protecting habitats and stopping illegal hunting.
Third, reduce your environmental impact. Recycle waste, save water and energy, and avoid buying products that harm animals, such as ivory, fur, or shark fin. Small daily changes can make a big difference.
Fourth, speak up for endangered animals. Tell your friends and family about the importance of wildlife protection. You can also write to local governments to ask for stricter laws against animal hunting.
Remember, every animal plays a key role in the ecosystem. Protecting endangered animals means protecting our planet and ourselves.

六、书面表达(参考范文)
Dear Tom,
Thanks for your letter. I'm glad to tell you something about endangered animal protection in China.
Pandas are one of our most famous endangered animals. They love bamboo and once faced extinction due to habitat loss. Our government has set up over 60 nature reserves to protect them, and now their numbers are increasing.
Last month, my school held an animal protection activity. We made posters and gave out leaflets to tell people not to buy products made of animal fur or ivory. It was really meaningful.
I hope you can also do something to protect wild animals.
Yours,
Li Hua
