ancient giant panda skull has confirmed its bamboo diet dates back more than 2 million years and may have played a key part in its survival. a chinese-us research team reports its results today following studies on a fossil skull found in south chinas cuangxi zhuang autonomous region in 2001.the six fossils unearthed in jinyin cave are dated between 2.4 and 2 million years ago, according to the report in proceedings of the national academy of sciences, an influential us journal.jin changzhu, of the chinese academy of sciences (cas) and lead author of the paper, said the smaller fossil skull indicates the giant pandas were about a third smaller than todays pandas.researchers knew the panda reached its maximum size about 500,000 years ago, when it peaked ,and then gradually became smaller.jin, a paleontologist (古生物学者) at the institute of vertebrate paleontology and paleoanthropology (古人类学) attached to the cas, said the size variation was a basic rule of evolution.“a species tends to grow bigger when it reaches the peak of its population , but becomes smaller when numbers decline,” he said.the dental remains of the skull, which is the oldest giant panda skull ever found, are similar to todays pandas, indicating the type of teeth that could munch (津津有味地嚼)mountains of bamboo. a panda can eat up to 40kg of bamboo per day.paleoanthropologist russell ciochon, the us co-author at the university of lowa, said the pandas focus on bamboo could have helped it survive all these years.“once an animal begins to rely on a common and stable food source, such as bamboo, it tends to evolve a larger body size,” he said. “as individuals of the evolving species grow bigger, they have a better chance not to be eaten by predators (肉食动物) due to their larger body size.”33according to the research of the cas , there were most pandas in the world .a. 2 million years agob. between 2.4 and 2 million years agoc. 500,000 years agod. nowadays34the underlined word

becomes smaller when numbers decline,”当任何一种生物的数量达到顶峰时，其数量就会变少，所以应该是“变化”，答案是b。35.b考察主旨大意。有文章内容可知b为正确答案，当一种生物的数量变少，其体型也会变小。考点：生物类阅读三, 七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。theres no doubt that
