Ⅷ. 根据短文内容,从短文后的方框中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。(其中有一项为多余选项)
Some strange plants
Nature is full of amazing plants. But there are many more kinds of strange plants in the world. They are not like most plants. Some plants live in trees high above the ground. 56 Instead, they grow on trees, not from the soil as most plants do.
Some plants can eat meat. They eat insects(昆虫), spiders and even some other small animals. One meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草). 57 It has many sticky hairs on its surface. Insects landing on it get stuck. Then the plant eats the insects. 58
Some plants look like stones. 59 They hold water very well. Their stone-like shape helps to hide them so that animals do not eat them.
60 *“Creeeak... Pop!”* Bamboo *“sings”* when it grows taller every day.
So what makes some plants strange? Maybe some plants just have their different ways to protect themselves.

Ⅸ. 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容按要求完成任务。
It is 8:30 a.m. at the Chengdu Research Base. Panda keepers are preparing milk for the baby pandas’ breakfast. At 9:00 a.m., when the babies see the keepers, they run over to them excitedly.
Lin Wei, one of the panda keepers, says, “They’re so cute and lovely. I take care of them like my own babies. They’re very special to me.” In fact, pandas have become so popular that they are now a symbol of China.
Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the forests. Another 300 or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries. Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from diseases and do not live very long. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there were a lot more bamboo forests and pandas in China, but then humans started to cut down these forests. As the forests get smaller and other human activities cause more problems, pandas cannot find enough food to eat and they are having fewer babies.
An education programme in Chengdu teaches children about pandas and other endangered wild animals. They send people to schools to tell children about the importance of saving these animals. And the Chinese government(政府) is trying hard to help save the pandas. Scientists are doing research to better understand the habits of pandas. We all hope that in the future there will be a lot more pandas.

Task Ⅱ: Answer the following questions.

67. Why don’t pandas have many babies?
68. What can you do for pandas and other endangered wild animals? Give your opinion(s) in about 20 words.
