The giant panda is one of

(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
(save) them. In the early 1980s, there were
(be) about 1,100 giant pandas in the wild. The main reason why giant pandas are endangered is that the area where giant pandas can live has become smaller
(small). The WWF works for helping
(help) 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 work/are working
(work) very hard to make sure the giant panda doesn't die

解析
【分析】本题为英语语法填空题，需结合句子结构、固定搭配、时态、词性变化等知识点逐一分析每个空：1. 形容词最高级前需加定冠词；2. 情态动词后接动词原形；3. 前后句为因果关系，需用对应连词；4. 考查固定介词短语；5. 表目的用不定式；6. there be句型需遵循主谓一致及时态；7. 句意暗含比较，用比较级；8. 介词后接动名词；9. 主语为复数，结合时态确定动词形式；10. 一般现在时第三人称单数的否定形式。
【解析】1. 形容词最高级most popular前必须加定冠词the，故填the；2. 情态动词can后接动词原形，故weigh用原形；3. 前句“熊猫很可爱”与后句“WWF选它当标志不奇怪”是因果关系，用连词so；4. 固定搭配in danger表示“处于危险中”，故填in；5. 此处表“筹钱的目的是拯救它们”，用不定式作目的状语，故填to save；6. there be句型的主语是复数名词1,100 giant pandas，且时间为过去的“in the early 1980s”，故be动词用were；7. 句意是熊猫可居住的区域变得更小，暗含与之前的比较，用small的比较级smaller；8. 短语work for中for是介词，后接动名词作宾语，故填helping；9. 主语people是复数，时态可采用一般现在时或现在进行时，故填work/are working；10. 主语the giant panda是第三人称单数，一般现在时的否定句借助助动词doesn't，后接动词原形die，故填doesn't die。

答案
1. C 【点拨】根据“You may wonder why such huge animals live on such tiny food? It's because our mouths only have rows of baleen(鲸须). It lets water flow out while holding in tiny things.”可知，蓝鲸以磷虾等微小生物为食，是因为它们的嘴里只有鲸须，这种结构可以让水流出，同时保留微小的食物。故选C。
2. C 【点拨】根据“As we move our wings really fast, we burn through energy fast. So we need to keep feeding.”以及“No. We slow-movers don't need a lot of energy.”可知，蜂鸟需要大量进食是因为它们的翅膀快速振动，消耗能量极快，需要不断补充能量，而树懒则因为活动缓慢，能量消耗低，所以不需要大量进食，这都与它们的日常活动密切相关。故选C。
3. A 【点拨】本文介绍了不同动物的饮食习性，故文章可能来自杂志的“野生生物”部分。故选A。

解析
【分析】本题为中考英语阅读理解题，包含3道选择题，分别考查细节理解、推理判断及文章出处判断。解题思路为：1. 第1题需定位蓝鲸相关段落，查找其以微小生物为食的原因；2. 第2题需分别定位蜂鸟和树懒的段落，分析影响两者进食量的因素；3. 第3题需结合文章介绍动物饮食习性的核心内容，判断文章所属板块。
【解析】1. 定位蓝鲸的段落，原文明确说明蓝鲸以微小生物为食的原因是“mouths only have rows of baleen（鲸须）”，这种结构可过滤保留微小食物，对应选项C。2. 蜂鸟因翅膀快速振动消耗能量快需大量进食，树懒因活动缓慢能量消耗低无需大量进食，两者进食量均由日常活动决定，对应选项C。3. 文章介绍了灰熊、蓝鲸、蜂鸟、树懒等野生动物的饮食习性，属于野生动物相关内容，对应选项A。
