BMei Xiang, 25, Tian Tian, 26, and their 3-year-old son, Xiao Qi Ji, packed their bamboo and left for China on Wednesday, making D.C. panda-less for the first time in 23 years.The trio’s departure followed months of goodbyes: a nine-day “Panda Palooza” celebration, final visits by generations of panda fans and one couple’s return to the scene of their 2016 engagement at the zoo’s panda house. And as with many breakups, the longer the relationship, the deeper the heartbreak.Now all that’s left of those three bears are memories and mementos. Washington Post reporters gathered some of the items that symbolize the connection D.C.’s panda fans have felt to the animals for the past 51 years. They talked to some of the people who are deeply affected by the animals’ departure, and what they’re doing to stash their cherished memories away.Soon after Yael Krigman moved her bakery, Baked by Yael, into a space across from the National Zoo’s entrance in 2015, people began to ask her for panda-related treats. Thus the panda cake pop was born. As time went on, the cake pops became a pillar(支柱) of her brand. Even with the pandas gone, Krigman said, the cake pops will remain.“The pandas are super cute, but their departure is not going to put us out of business,” she said.Still, it’s possible fewer people will visit the zoo — and surrounding shops — after the pandas’ departure, said Robert Meins, executive director of Woodley Park Main Street.“You know, the more diverse and the more interesting the offerings that the zoo has, the more people will come — it’s that simple,” he said.LiLLiES has been making “panda pancakes” since the restaurant opened in 2011, said Ryan Raihan, a manager there. When it opened, kids in panda hats and T-shirts would run in and order the pancakes.But splitting up with the pandas affects more than the restaurant’s brunch orders.“This hurts,” Raihan said. “They’re a huge part of our culture and our neighborhood. It’s not even about the financial gain or loss that is going to happen because of their leaving.”What is NOT offered in the surrounding shops and restaurants of the National Zoo?A.panda pancakes B.panda cake pops C.panda mementos D.Bamboo-related treats 25. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.booksB.movies C.treatsD.souvenirs26. What do many panda fans in Washington D.C. feel with the pandas leaving? A.indifferentB.delightedC.heartbrokenD.outraged27. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. Packing away our panda memories B. A panda-less Woodley ParkC. Champions of conservationD. Business depression in the National ParkCWhile many animal populations seem to dwindle, one species that is moving in the opposite direction of such loss is America’s native wildlife—wood stork.The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population decreased sharply to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would become completely extinct by 2000. Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting of the wood stork as an endangered species. So how did the population bounce back?The success is in part down to the resourcefulness of the wood stork. The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development of mankind. Wetland preservation and restoration, protection of nesting areas, and management of water flows began with the approval of the wood stork’s first recovery plan in 1986. In the following year, former Savannah Coastal Refuges biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is also to thank for this recovery. She said, “The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.” “The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent of the species that were on the list since 1973. A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted as their populations become stable again.If the wood stork is delisted, it will remain protected by other laws and a monitoring plan will be put in place to ensure the population remains stable.28. Which is NOT the reason for the population of the wood stork to bounce back?A. Wetland preservation and restoration.B. Impact of human activities.C. The Endangered Species ActD. Management of water flows.29. What can we learn about the wood stork in paragraph two?A. It has become completely extinct.B. Its population shows a rising trend.C. It is widely distributed worldwide.D. It is the most endangered species.30. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that______ is a cause of the wood stork decline in North America?A. loss of wetlands.B. popularity of water sports.C. pollution of rivers.D. arrival of other wild animals.31. What is a direct result of the Endangered Species Act?A. People have safer water to drink.B. The local economy has boomed.C. A list of species have been saved.D. The wood stock has flown away.DAmsterdam, with its scenic canals lined with picturesque, 17-th and 18-th century buildings, a major European tourist destination, is slowly collapsing.Sinkholes are appearing in small streets, and nearly half its 1,700 bridges are unstable and need repairs. The fundamental problem is the state of the canal walls: about 125 miles of them are so broken that they are in danger of collapsing into the canals, potentially taking buildings and people with them. As a huge project to shore up the canal walls gets underway, the city is beginning to look like one huge construction site.Like much of the Netherlands, Amsterdam lies below sea level. Built on a swamp and heavily expanded in the 17th century, the city sits on millions of wooden piles that serve as foundations. As modern life changed the city, many houses were strengthened with concrete, but the foundations of streets and canal walls were ignored. Many of the wooden piles have shifted, cracked or collapsed under the pressure, causing bridges and canal side walls to sink and crack. Water then seeps in, washing away mortar(砂浆), further hollowing out the infrastructure and creating sinkholes.The alderman, Mr. De Vries, said that if the city had continued to ignore the problem, it would have headed straight for a catastrophe. The reconstruction will take at least 20 years and will cost 2 billion euros, perhaps even more.“These are big numbers, and work needs to take place in a very busy, closely-populated area,” Mr. De Vries said.“People live here and work here, and we usually have many tourists.”He acknowledged that Amsterdam in the coming years would look different from its usual postcard self. Still, he insisted that tourists should not be discouraged from visiting. “We invite everyone to come and see what we are doing,” he said. “We want visitors to realize that such a magnificent city needs maintenance.”32. What problem does Amsterdam face?A. Many old streets are in badly need of being widened.B. Bridges under construction disturb citizens’ life.C. Collapsed buildings pose a threat to tourists.D. The canal walls are in danger of falling down.33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The geographical features of Amsterdam.B. The effects of broken bridges on the city.C. Causes of sinkholes in Amsterdam.D. Ways of building canal walls.34 What can we learn about the reconstruction work?A. It is a huge and dangerous task.B. It is costly.C. It demands more than three decades.D. It will promote local employment.35. Which statement may Mr. De Vries agree with?A. The city will no longer be as magnificent as it used to be.B. Modernity is usually achieved at a cost of the environment.C. Repairs have become a serious obstacle to the city’s growth.D. Maintenance and tourism should continue at the same time.第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Anxious AnimalsOur pets can get stressed by many things such as new places, changes in routine, new people, new additions like a baby or another pet to the home, and loud noises such as fireworks. 36 which can lead to behaviour or health issues in the pet.

Upon hearing it, I couldn’t help complaining to Mareya that I was so nervous about having to talk in front of the whole class.“You've been in at least three plays,” Mareya pointed out. “If you don’t get stage fright in front of those big audiences, why are you bothered by a few kids in our class?”It was true, but in a play you were part of a group. I shook my head. Plus, there were so many people I was grateful to. There was no way I could possibly pick just one. Plus, even if I picked one, I’d have no idea what to say. Plus, even if I figured out what to say, I was a million-percent positive I’d mess up if I tried to say it out loud! I'd be standing there with everyone staring at me, waiting for words to come out of my mouth. “Oh, my goodness!” I pulled my sweatshirt hood (兜帽) over my face, put my hands over my ears and said, “I don’t want to talk about it!”But one thing about really good friends who knew you really well was that they didn’t always do exactly what you asked them to. Mareya could be pretty pushy talking of being helpful. She scribbled (潦草地写) something on a piece of paper, lifted my hood, and smiled. She'd drawn a funny elephant with the word BREATHE coming out of its trunk.“This is Franky, the ‘everything's going to be all right’ elephant.” Mareya giggled. She held the picture up to her ear and asked, “What’s that you say, Franky? You think my friend Arizona should come over to my house this weekend so we can work on our talks together?” And that was exactly what happened.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右：2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Monday came and finally it was my turn totalk about who Iwas grateful to.Can you imagine how surprisedMareyawas when she heard hername was mentioned?
