We all love giant pandas. In the 1970s there were just 1,114 of these animals in China. Now there are 1,864 giant pandas living in 52 protection areas that have been built in recent decades. In fact, several species（物种）that were endangered have seen a surprising comeback in recent decades, thanks to major protection efforts.

Besides the giant panda, Yunnan’s snub-nosed monkey（金丝猴）and the crested ibis（朱鹮）are also among these success stories. The crested ibis, for example, was once widespread in east China, Japan, Russia and South Korea, but was later thought to die out. In 1981, seven crested ibises were found in Shanxi Province. Since then, breeding programs have helped its population reach 2,000. China has sent crested ibises to Japan and South Korea in recent years to help the species regenerate（发展壮大）.

China has more than 11,800 nature reserves. They account for 18% of China’s total land area. The reserves cover 35 million hectares of forest and 20 million hectares of wetland, and include 85% of the country’s wildlife.

30．The population of pandas is larger than before with the help of _______.

A．the living areas B．main protection efforts

C．the species rebirth D．breeding programme

A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.

32．The underlined word “widespread” means _______ in Chinese.

Do you have the experience of taking music lessons against your wishes? Perhaps you have complained about it because you thought it took you much playtime. But now you’d better thank your parents for their time and money spent on your musical training. A recent study suggests music lessons can make children have better memories than their peers (同龄人).

The Canadian study showed that after one year of musical training, children did better on a memory test than those who didn’t take music lessons. The researchers made the children age between 4 and 6 into two groups—one group of children took music lessons outside school, and the other didn’t take any musical training. In one year, they took four tests in different times. The results showed brain development changes at least every four months. The children taking music lessons not only did better in musical listening but also made faster progress in other ways, such as reading, writing, math and IQ.

People say music is the good medicine for a broken heart. Now it seems music can also help us to improve our memories. We are sure to find more and more in the wonderful world of music.

34．Why should you thank your parents for their time and money spent on your music?

A．Because you get well after you take music lessons.

B．Because you will make faster progress in every way.

C．Because music can help you to improve your memories.

《送元二使安西》 A Farewell Song

唐·王维

渭城朝雨浥轻尘，No dust is raised on the road wet with morning rain;

客舍青青柳色新。The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green;

劝君更尽一杯酒，I invite you to drink a cup of wine again;

西出阳关无故人。West of the sunny pass no more friends will be seen.

Time flies and you will soon finish your junior high school. It might be a little sad ____43____ (say) goodbye to your teachers and classmates. This feeling ____44____ (share) more than 1,000 years ago, when the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei (701-761) had to say goodbye to his friend.

A Farewell Song begins with a lovely morning scene. After the rain, the road is ____45____ (complete) clean and free of dust, and the willows (柳树) by the hotel are fresh and green. In the morning, Wang has to say goodbye to his friend Yuan Er, who would leave for a faraway place called Anxi in ____46____ (today) Xinjiang.

In the poem, the last ____47____ (second) lines are the best-known. The poet invites Yuan to drink wine because he knows that life in Anxi will be tough. Although most ____48____ (city) in China were prosperous (繁华的) during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the western areas were quite lonely. The journey to the west would be full of hardship, Wang thought. So when Wang says “I invite you to drink a cup of wine again,” he is pouring ____49____ (much) care than others to his friends and sending good wishes into the cup as well. This sincere (真挚的) love for his friend made this poem popular back then and it remains so today.

Dear fellow students,

 Now more and more people take part in the voluntary work. During the winter holiday, I worked as a volunteer to take care of Cindy, who was ill in hospital. From this experience, I learned that voluntary work is very meaningful. It can not only help others but also improve ourselves.

There are different kinds of voluntary work, such as cleaning the community, visiting the elderly in the old people’s home or organizing activities to donate money to poor areas.

Let’s take action right now to do some voluntary work to help the people around us and help to make the world a better place.
