The pandas have been reclassified in the country from endangered to vulnerable after efforts to increas
9、e the population. Now the number has risen to 1,800 in the wild.“China has established a relatively complete nature reserves system,” Cui Shuhong, director of the Department of Natural Ecological Protection of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said on Wednesday. “Large areas of natural ecosys
10、tems have been systematically and completely protected, and wildlife habitats have been effectively improved.”The latest classification upgrade reflects their improved living conditions and Chinas efforts in keeping their habitats integrated, Cui added.Bamboo makes up 90% of pandas diets, and the an
11、imals would likely starve without the shoots. Experts believe Chinas efforts to replant bamboo forests have been the key to the increase in the population of pandas.Generally speaking, a panda has to eat at least 26 pounds of bamboo every day to maintain its energy, so large areas of bamboo forests
12、are primary to their survival.Planting bamboo also has advantages for the planet, as the bamboo is grass, not a tree, and is incredibly efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide, as well as emitting 35% more oxygen than trees. “The Chinese have done a great job in investing in panda habitats, expanding
13、and setting up new reserves,” Ginette Hemley, senior vice president of conservation at the World Wildlife Fund. told the media. “They are a wonderful example of what can happen when a government is committed to conservation.”Continuing Chinas success will be dependent on the country protecting land
14、from agricultural and urban development. As land becomes rarer, measures will need to be extended to protect more land, to ensure bamboo forests can thrive and as a result, protect the future of the worlds most lovable, lazy, and monochrome (black and white) creature.4What do we know about the giant

17、velopment.7Where is this text probably from?AA news website.BAn official report.CA travel magazine.DA biology textbook.More than half a trillion dollars. Thats the estimated value of all the stuff that U. S. shoppers bought last year only to return itmore than the economy of Israel or Austria. We tr
18、ied new brands with unfamiliar sizes after seeing them on TikTok. We overbought for the holidays, and we shopped overly online, where returns are between two and five times more likely than that from stores. Where does it all go? Take the blanket I bought on holiday sale for example. I opened the pa
19、ckage, only to discover it was just too small for my new sofa. So I returned it. Sorry, blanket! What will happen to it?“Your blanket is very likely to be in a landfill,” says Hitendra Chaturvedi, a supply chain management professor at Arizona State University. “That is what consumers dont realizeth
20、e life of a return is a very, very sad path.” Value is the big threshold (门槛): Is the product worth the cost of shipping back and paying someone to inspect, clean, repair or test? Experts estimate that retailers (零售商) throw away about 25 of their returns. Every year, U. S. returns create almost 6 bi
21、llion pounds of landfill waste.Many others get resold in discount and outlet stores. Some go to sellers on websites. Some get donated to charity or recycled. “These options have increased over the past decade, allowing more and more returns to find a new home”, says Marcus Shen, chief operating offi
22、cer of B-Stock, a platform where retailers can resell their returns, often to smaller stores.As companies compete on flexible return policies, technology is also slowly playing a part: helping shoppers buy the right-size sweater or picture a new blanket inside their room. Most importantly, She says,
23、 shoppers themselves are getting more and more comfortable with buying stuff thats not exactly brand-new. “The idea of that is no longer scary for us, right?” he says. On his holiday-returns agenda is an electric, self-heating coffee mug that he has never opened, and he feels confident it will find

Across the globe, cu
27、ltural heritage is passed down through the generations. It is in the buildings and structures around us. It is in the arts and artifacts (手工艺品) we treasure. It lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell. But today, it is under attack as never before. Not only are the damages of time thr
28、eatening our cultural heritage, but conflicts, climate change, globalization and tourism are all exacting a heavy price. Technology is now the most essential weapon in the battle. Heres how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.As you can imagine, creating the replicas (复制品) via crowd sourc
29、ed 2D images is extremely time-consuming. Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms (算法) are being used to do all the required sourcing, allowing millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours.AI will also make restoration and preservation of existing cultural heritage far easier a
30、nd vastly superior to previous methods. Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. Many of the most important sites and architecture are extremely fragile. Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Was
31、tes accumulate everywhere, causing enormous problems. As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them. Well all eventually be able to walk through places, look at (and touch!) artifacts and work
32、s of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation, data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.12What does the underlined word “

Here are several powerful ways to build unbreakable self-discipline. _16_ If you choose what is fun and easy over
36、what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. _17_ If success was easy, everybody would be successful. But because success in any area of your life requires hard work and sacrifice, most people will never reach their full poten
37、tial.People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical event in the future, but that is not the case. Your life changes only to the extent that you change. If you are not happy with your current circumstances, are you taking action to change them? _18_ A great way to acti
38、vely create your future is to ask yourself: If I already achieved my goals, how would I act on a daily basis? What books would I read, how often would I work out, and how would I spend my time at the office? _19_ Act as if you were already successful.The great tragedy of life is that most people giv
39、e up right before achieving success. They already made it to the five-yard line, and all they need is one final push to make the touchdown and bring home the sweet victory. But right before they do that, there is one final obstacle standing in their wayone last failure that they need to overcome. Wh
40、enever you encounter failure and difficulty, keep going! No matter how long it takes or how hard it gets, always remember the words of motivational speaker Les Brown: “_20_”If you make these, you will succeed at anything you set your mind to. Maybe not immediately, but definitely.AIts not over until
41、 I win.BIf not, you are just daydreaming.CThe real secret of success is enthusiasm.DOnce you answer these questions, you know what to do.EThats because every great victory requires great sacrifice.FThe biggest enemy to success is the path of least resistance.GIts not what we take up but what we give
42、 up that makes us rich.三、完形填空People may misunderstand what they used to be familiar with. I remembered a _21_ professor was invited to our school, teaching stress management principles in a school hall _22_ with students.As she _23_ a glass of water, every one of us expected wed be asked the _24_ “g
43、lass half-empty or glass half-full” question. _25_, with a smile on her face, the professor asked, “How _26_ is this glass of water Im holding?”All of us shouted out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple of pounds.She replied, “From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass doesnt ma
44、tter. It all _27_ how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute or two, its fairly light. If I hold it for an hour straight, its weight might make my arm_28_ a little. If I hold it for a day straight, my arm will likely cramp up and feel _29_ numb (麻木的) and paralyzed, _30_ me to drop the glass to th
45、e floor. In each case, the _31_ of the glass doesnt change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me.”As the whole class _32_ our heads in agreement, she continued, “Your _33_ and worries in life are very much like this glass of water. Think about them for a while and _34_ happens. Think
46、 about them a bit longer and you begin to ache a little. Think about them all day long, and you will feel specially numb and paralyzed _35_ of doing anything else _36_ you drop them.”Its important to remember to _37_ your stresses and worries. No matter what happens during the day, as early in the e
47、vening as you can, put all your burdens down. Dont _38_ them through the night and into the next day with you. If you still feel the weight of _39_ stress, its a strong sign that its time to put the _40_ down.21AphysicsBpsychologyCchemistryDliterature22AfilledBdecoratedCconnectedDcompared23AraisedBpointedCtookDdrank24AinterestingBmeaningfulCtypicalDpersonal25AThereforeBBesidesCThenDInstead26AheavyBthinCcleanDlarge27Ahappens toBagrees onCcontributes toDdepends on28AbendBinjureCsourDache29AslightlyBsurprisinglyCcompletelyDregularly30AinvitingBforcingCt
