Soon she _ (grow up, grow into). Now she _ (grow up, grow into) a healthy young giant panda.2 At the very beginning, Xi Wang drank her mothers milk for up to 14 hours a day. 在最初的时候，希望一天喝母乳的时间长达十四小时。(1) at the very beginning/ at the beginning/in the beginning/at the start/at firstin the end/at last/finally at the beginning of反义词组 at the end of例：起先，她不擅长跳舞。 一开始的时候，他很怕狗。（2）up to意为“达到，长达”。如：例：乌龟能活到150岁。 他昨晚工作长达10个小时.3 When she was six months old, she started to eat bamboo shoots and leaves. （1）bamboo shoots意为“竹笋”，请注意这个名词短语的复数构成形式。（2）leaves的单数形式是leaf。 （3) six months old与six-month-old的区别。例：一个五岁大的女孩 我儿子今年11岁了.4 Sadly, it is very difficult for giant pandas to survive in the wild. （1) It is + adj. (for sb.) to do sth.意为“对某人来说做某事是很” 如：例：在海上冲浪是很令人兴奋的. 对小汤姆来说做出这道题是很难的.(2) sadly是sad的副词形式，它可以独立置于句首，常译为“可惜，说来遗憾”，也可以用来修饰动词，意为“伤心地”，反义词为happily。5 Here are some of the problems that Xi Wang may have in the future. 这儿就有一些希望在未来有可能遇到的问题。(1) that Xi Wang may have in the future在此为定语从句，用来修饰blem通常用来指比较难以解决的问题。 例如：maths problems (2) in the future意为“未来，将来”。 例：将来，他想当一名司机.6 If hunters catch a giant panda, they will kill it for its fur. 如果猎人们捉到大熊猫，他们会杀了它以获取其皮毛。(1) fur是不可数名词。 (2) kill for 例： 人们杀死老虎为了得到他的骨头。7 If farmers cut down trees and forests, giant will have nowhere to live. 如果农民砍伐树木和森林，熊猫就将无处容身。(1) cut down意为“砍倒，砍伐”。 cut away意为“切除，砍掉” 。cut out意为“剪出，切出” cut short意为“把截短” 。例：不要把它砍倒. 切出鼻子、眼睛、嘴巴的样子. (2) nowhere to live意为“没有住的地方，无处容身”，在这个结构中，动词不定式作定语，修饰前面的nowhere。 与其结构相同的词组还有have nothing to eat, have something to say, have nobody to talk about 例： 我没什么要说。 他没什么事可做。 8 Mothers often leave baby pandas for two whole days on their own. 熊猫妈妈们经常让小熊猫们独自呆上整整两天。(1) on ones own是固定短语，意为“独自的”，相当于alone。(2) leave sb. on ones own意为“让某人独自留下，让某人独自一人呆着”，它的同义词组是leave sb. by oneself。例：父母亲不能让婴儿独自一人呆着.9 If giant pandas are in danger, what can we do? 如果熊猫们处境危险，我们该怎么做呢？ (1) in danger意为“处于危险的环境中”，介词短语在本句中作表语。类似词组如： in need 需要帮助；in trouble 有麻烦 (2) danger为名词，形容词为dangerous。 其对应的反义词分别为safety和safe。10 We can take the following actions to protect giant pandas. 我们可以采取以下行动来保护大熊猫。 (1) the following意为“下列的,下述的”。如：下列的问题 (2) action意为“行动，动作”，是可数名词；take actions是“活动，开始工作，采取行动”的意思。其动词形式为act。take actions to do sth. “采取行动做某事” 例：我们应该采取行动去帮助那些贫困儿童。11 If we do nothing, soon there will be no giant pandas in the world! 如果我们不采取行动，很快世界上就不会再有大熊猫了！there will be是there be的一般将来时形式。12 We called her Xi Wang. 我们称她为“希望”。(1) call在此表示“称呼，称某人为”。如：The man has a big nose, so we call him “big nose”.例：每个人都叫他“小猴子”。 (2) call还有一个常见的用法，就是用作过去分词短语，表示“被称为”。如：The boy called James has poor eyesight.
