2．Bao Bao was born in the United States，but she was always destined（注定的）to go to China．A giant panda named Mei Xiang gave birth to Bao Bao at Washington's National Zoo in 2013．She was the zoo's first surviving panda cub（幼崽）since 2005．Visitors went to see Bao Bao for the first time in early 2014．The zoo's first giant pandas arrived in 1972．They were a gift to the United States after President Richard Nixon's historic trip to China
The US agreement with China states that the cubs of pandas loaned to the National Zoo must go to China by age four．Zoo officials have a number of events planned for Bao Bao before she travels．For example，she will receive a cake made of ice．Officials say it will recognize the people who give money to the National Zoo to help research into animals．
People around the world will be able to watch Bao Bao's final days in Washington．There will be several Facebook Live events，including videos of zookeepers preparing Bao Bao for her trip and a program showing how to make panda-themed art projects．Bao Bao's final hours at the zoo will be shown on Facebook Live on February 21．
Some of her human friends are using the hashtag（标签）#ByeByeBaoBao to say goodbye．On Twitter，Lisa wrote："I am going to miss Bao Bao so much!I have met so many people because of her．"

20．As a general rule，a band may start as a group of high-school students （51）sharing（share） the same interest in music．They may first practise their music in someone's house．A nd then the musicians may get the chance to give （52）performances（perform） in pubs or clubs，for which they are paid（53）incash．A s time goes by，they gradually become known to the audience and some even make records!
The Monkees，（54）however，started in a different way．Of （55）its（it） four members，only one was good enough and the other three just pretended （56）to sing/to be singing（sing） during the broadcasts．To be honest，it couldn't（57 ）be called（call） a real band in the beginning．A nyhow，they succeeded and became so popular（58）thattheir fans formed clubs in order to get more familiar with them．（59）Unfortunately（fortunate），the Monkees broke up about 1970．B ut they reunited in the mid-1980s and produced a new record in 1996，（60）whichwas to celebrate their former happy time．

While the presence of rats in homes may cause anxiety and annoyance，they rarely result in driving out the residents．But that is exactly what happened to the inhabitants of the 10-squaremile Hawadax Island off the coast of Alaska，almost 230 years ago．Now thanks to a five-year effort by scientists，the terribly silent"Rat Island"as it had been called for many years has been returned to its rightful owners--birds!
Hawadax Island is part of a chain of volcanic islands in the Bering Sea called the Aleutian Islands．The rats that arrived there in 1780，when a Japanese ship carrying them broke down nearby，completely destroyed the native population because the environment of the island was not built to defend its animals from these predators．There isn't any tree on the Island，which meant that the birds were accustomed to building their nests low in the ground，giving the rodents easy access to both eggs and baby chicks．As years passed，the birds that had called the island home for thousands of years became endangered and eventually，disappeared completely．
In 2007，the U．S．FWS （Fish and Wildlife Service） started a serious plan to rid the island of the rats and try bringing back the beautiful birds that had once called it home．Given that there were an estimated 10，000rodents inhabiting"Rat Island"and the fact that they reproduce rapidly，it was not an easy task．But by 2009，the Island was officially declared rat free!
Then slowly but surely，the birds began to return．Unfortunately，some of the pioneers were unintentionally killed from the leavings of the raticide，a poison that had been used to wipe out the rodents．But now it seems things are becoming more stable and the Island is starting to increasingly look like its former self．Before the transformation，"Hawadax"，also known as"Rat Island"，was a silent and ghostly place with bird bones，snail remains and rocks covered in rat feces（粪便）．
Today birds'singing and flying in and out is a common sight．Tufted puffins and song sparrows，which had long disappeared，are gradually making their way back．Scientists have also been observing an increase in ground nesting and shorebirds．Though the Island is still not back to its full glory，the signs are encouraging and things can only get better，as time passes．

A．has helped the island fully recovered
B．cost little but benefited greatly
C．involved poisoning the rats on a large scale
D．accomplished its goal after exactly 24 months
70．Which would be the best title for the passage？D

B．Japanese Changed a Bird Paradise into Rat Island
C．FWS Plan to Drive Rats Out Of Rat Island

18．The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families．But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents，which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels．
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past．"We were surprised by just how positive today's young people seem to be about their families，"said one member of the research team．"They're expected to be rebellious and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds； they want a car and material goods，and they worry about whether school is serving them well．There's more negotiation and discussion between parents and children，and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process．They don't want to rock the boat．"
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30years ago to treat their children as friends．"My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me，"says 17yearold Daniel Lazall．"I always tell them when I'm going out clubbing．As long as they know what I'm doing，they're fine with it．"Susan Crome，who is now 21，agrees．"Looking back on the last 10years，there was a lot of what you could call negotiation．For example，as long as I'd done all my homework，I could go out on a Saturday night．But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that．"
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected．It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts．A researcher comments，"Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings．But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really happened during the 1960s when everyone rebelled．The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over．"
