五、阅读短文,在文中空白处填入1个适当的单词,或用括号内所给单词或短语的正确形式填空。
The giant panda is one of the most popular animals in the world. A giant panda can grow up to 1.8 metres long and weigh up to 180 kg. People think the giant panda is very lovely, so it is not surprising that the WWF chose the giant panda as its symbol. The WWF tells people that giant pandas are in danger and we need to raise money to save them. In the early 1980s, there were about 1,100 giant pandas left in the wild. The main reason why giant pandas are endangered is that the area where giant pandas can live has become smaller. The WWF works for helping the giant pandas in the wild in many ways. One of the ways is to increase the size of reserves for giant pandas. There are paths(小路) that lead giant pandas from one reserve to another. No one can harm the giant pandas in these areas. The corridors let the giant pandas move from one habitat(栖息地) to another to look for food. People are working very hard to make sure the giant panda doesn't die out.
