mountains, which is home to round 270 pandas about a fifth of the worlds wild populationpredicts that the amount of bamboo will decline(减少)this century as the global warming continues. “the pandas may face a shortage of food unless they can find alternative food resources,” a team of researcher from the u.s and china warn in the journal nature climate change. the international symbol of environmental conservation efforts, the giant panda is a picky eater. 99% of its diet consists of bamboo. it eats up to 38 kilograms per day. this means the black-and-white bears survival is closely linked to a thriving(繁荣的)bamboo habitat. bamboo itself also has a slow reproductive rate, flowering only every 30 to 35 years, which means it would be slow to adapt to a change in a local climate, according to the researchers. based on the data gathered for this study, researchers predict that three bamboo species which make up almost the entire diet of the pandas in qin mountains, will all disappear in a warmer climate. “results suggest that almost the entire panda habitat in the region may disappear by the end of the 21st century,” the studys authors write. the calculations are based on different warming scenarios(方案) projected by the intergovernmental panel on climate change ranging from rises of 20 c to 50 c in summer by the 21st centurys end, 30 c to 80 c in winter. these predictions were made based on data on rainfall and emission of greenhouse gas as well as historical growth patterns, to consider the future of bamboo. already, deforestation(滥伐森林) is threatening the survival of about half of all bamboo species worldwide. the researchers say bamboo distribution has historically fluctuated in response to changes in the climate. in modern times, though, even if other areas were to become climatically more suitable for bamboo growth, these would be far away and fall outside the present network of protected panda reserves. the findings should be used “for proactive planning to protect areas that have a better climatic chance of providing adequate food sources”. 43. what is the problem with giant pandas?a. their habitat is disappearing.b. their number is reducing sharply. c. they will not have bamboo to eat. d. they have difficulty in reproducing.44. what is typical of bamboo?a. it flowers for a short period.b. it can live for as long as 35 years.c. it is slow in reproducing it self.d. it grows only in warm regions.45. which word can replace the underlined word “fluctuated” in paragraph 10?a. formedb. disappearedc. changedd. worsened46. why cant pandas get access to bamboo in other areas?a. they dont like walking far away.b. they are limited to nature reserves.c. they are fed with all kinds of food.d. they are not allowed to walk freely.done of my neighbors used to have a beautiful tree in her front yard. her dad had planted it for her when it was nothing more than a twig and for years it seemed to barely grow at all. yet, after a time it started to shoot towards the sky at an amazing speed. soon it towered above her home and she was blessed with cooling shade in the summer and glorious, golden leaves in the autumn.when the two-day snowstorm from hurricane sandy struck our town, heavy snow fell on the trees limbs(主枝) that were still full of leaves. the weight was overwhelming and split that lively tree down the middle. it was so sad to see half of it lying on the ground after the storm. when i talked to my neighbor later, she said that the damage had been too much and that the entire tree would have to be cut down. thankfully, she had saved a few saplings(幼苗) from it that she hoped to replant in the future.still, it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see nothing but a stump(树桩) in her front yard. i missed that tree. i missed its beauty. i missed its leaves shining in the afternoon sun. i missed seeing its limbs reach towards the heavens. i thought that the stump would be a sad reminder of its loss for a long time to come. my wonderful neighbor, though, had another plan. when i drove by her home lately i saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and a colorful songbird having its dinner. it was such an affirmation of life. it was such a joy to see. i couldnt help smiling.life by nature is a mixed bag. it hands us both beauty and tragedy, love and loss, pleasure and pain. what we do with it, however, is up to us. we can let it split us in two, or we can use even its hardest times to make our souls stronger and our hearts more loving. we can spend it complaining or we can use it to help others.47. the first paragraph mainly tells us that .a. the tree had been growing very well.b. the authors neighbor was good at planting trees.c. the tree had shown its beauty and benefits.d. the tree was so string that it could bear any weight.48. the stump in the front yard shows that the authors neighbor .a. understood the true meaning of life.b. had a good relationship with the author.c. hoped to always remind herself of the tree.d. was good at making use of useless things.49. why did the author feel cheerful at the sight of the stump lately?a. his neighbor had a preference for smart animals.b. a sign of new life could be found in such a stump.c. he would see the bird having its dinner every day.d. more beauty was added to our dull life by nature.50. what information does the author want to show in the passage?a. life by mature is a mixed bag. b. life is determined by our attitude towards it.c. life should be pleasant rather than painful. d. life consists of beauty and tragedy.第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分) 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,写在答题纸相应的位置。选项中有两项为多余选项。good study habits are what separate the good student from the ordinary. its natural for one not
