题目内容
9．Two young giant-panda twins born in the United States have returned home to China，but are struggling to adapt to the language and food．The 3-year-old sisters，Mei Lun and Mei Huan，were the first surviving panda twins to be born in the United States，and were returned to China from Zoo Atlanta on Nov.5．But the pair still understand English better than Chinese，and prefer American biscuits to Chinese bread．
A zoo-keeper said that his main concern is that the pair are so addicted to American biscuits that everything they eat-from bamboos to apples-has to be mixed with biscuits．They even want to snack on （零食） biscuits when drinking water．
The zoo-keeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit，gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread．Mei Huan is adapting，but Mei Lun doesn't want to touch the unfamiliar bread．
Mei Lun is the livelier of the two，often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail，but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer，preferring to sit still，observe her new environment and occasionally snack on bamboo．
A language barrier is also reported．While the pair respond to their own names，and understand some English phrases such as"come here，"they don't understand the Sichuan dialect of Chinese．
The news caused some laughter on Chinese social media，with some users commenting that the pandas would soon get used to Sichuan's famously spicy cuisine．
5．Based on the passage，which statement do you think is right？D
A．The panda twins can fit in well in Sichuan．
B．The panda twins are only fond of Sichuan food and dishes．
C．The panda twins have been used to the new environment very quickly．
D．It's hard for the panda twins to get used to the new environment soon．
6．What does the underlined part"wean them off"in the fourth paragraph mean？A
A．help them get rid of．
B．help them form．
C．help them strengthen．
D．help them keep．
7．From the passage we learn that of the two sisters，B．
A．Mei Huan mainly eats bamboo
B．Mei Lun is living a more active life
C．Mei Huan is not smarter than Mei Lun
D．Mei Lun is as quiet as her younger sister．
分析 本文介绍了在美国出生的两只双胞胎大熊猫回国了，但是却不适应国内的饮食和语言，这令饲养员很担心．
解答 5．D 推理判断题． 根据第一段中 but are struggling to adapt to the language and food可知，这对双胞胎熊猫回国后适应语言和食物都很费力、困难，尤其是后面的2，3，4段更细节地描述了适应新环境的困难．故答案选D．
6．A 词义猜测题． 根据短语所在句子的后一句 gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread．用美国面包逐渐取代美国食物．根据前一句The zoo-keeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit．动物园管理员正设法使他们戒掉吃饼干的习惯．此处的mean them off 就可以断定为"去除"的意思，答案为A．
7．B 细节理解题．根据倒数第三段Mei Lun is the livelier of the two，often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail，but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer，preferring to sit still，可知美伦更充满活力一点，经常跳上屋顶，从一个轨道的倒挂，但她的小妹妹梅欢是平静的，喜欢静静的坐着，观察着新的环境和偶尔吃竹子．所以答案选B．
