13.Good news for giant panda lovers:The cute and cuddly creature has just been brought back from the brink of extinction.The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) downgraded the species from"endangered"to"vulnerable"as the union released its updated Red List on Sept 4at Hawaii.

The downgrade came after IUCN data suggested that there were 1,864giant pandas in the wild in China in 2014-their population has grown by 17percent in the decade leading up to 2014.
Chinese conservation efforts,including forest protection and reforestation,are considered to be the driving force behind the animal's resurgence.
"It's all about restoring the habitats,"Craig Hilton-Taylor,head of the IUCN Red List,told the BBC.
The number of panda reserves in China has also jumped to 67,from 13in 1992.Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live in these reserves,according to the World Wildlife Fund.
"Just by restoring the panda's habitat,that's given them back their space and made food available to them,"Hilton-Taylor said.
A loss of habitats,on the contrary,was what caused the number of pandas to drop to just over 1,200in the 1980s,Hilton-Taylor added.
Apart from giant pandas,the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from"endangered"to"near threatened".According to a statement from IUCN,the animal's numbers dwindled severely-dropping from around 1million to an estimated 65,000-72,500in the 1980s and early 1990s-due to commercial poaching.Rigorous(严格的) protection has since been enforced to protect the beasts and the population is now likely to be between 100,000and 150,000.
Despite the improved statuses,wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face great challenges.The IUCN warned,for example,that ongoing threats from climate change could eliminate more than 35percent of the panda's bamboo habitat in the next 80years,which would reverse the species recent gains.

解答 28.C词义猜测题.根据第二段The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) downgraded the species from"endangered"to"vulnerable"as the union released its updated Red List on Sept 4at Hawaii.9月4日,世界自然保护联盟于夏威夷发布了最新的濒危物种红色名录.其中,大熊猫的受威胁程度从"濒危"降级为"易危".根据句意可知选C.
29.C细节理解题,根据文中Just by restoring the panda's habitat,that's given them back their space and made food available to them,通过恢复栖息地,大熊猫重获了生存空间和充足的食物,故选C.
30.B推理判断题.根据第一段Good news for giant panda lovers:The cute and cuddly creature has just been brought back from the brink of extinction.大熊猫的粉丝们最近收到一则好消息:憨态可掬的大熊猫已经不再濒危了.根据最后一段第一句Despite the improved statuses,wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face great challenges.尽管情况有所好转,但大熊猫和藏羚羊等野生动物依然面临着严峻的生存挑战.可知本文的目的是在告知人们,故选B.
31.B推理判断题.根据最后一段第一句Despite the improved statuses,wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face great challenges.尽管情况有所好转,但大熊猫和藏羚羊等野生动物依然面临着严峻的生存挑战.故选B.
点评 任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的,都跟句子所在的段落及整整篇文章有关.利用上下文提供的情景和线索,进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义,是阅读过程中的一大关键,这也是近年来高考考查的热点.最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义.1.抓住所需推断词汇前后的"mean"或系动词或破折号等直接定义该词的部分.2抓住文章主旨与该段所表达的中心.特别对于议论文要牢记论点与论据的相互支撑关系.
