五、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。选项中有一项为多余选项。
Pandas are popular animals from China. But they were once in great danger. China is home to pandas. 1 “As time goes by, we will have more pandas in the future,” one Chinese official says. China does a lot to help pandas and now pandas live better in China. Here are two examples. Pandas’ favourite food is bamboo. 2 A panda needs 12—38 kilograms of bamboo each day. In the 1980s, without enough food, there were just 1,200 pandas left. 3 In these reserves, people planted lots of bamboo.
Pandas are born small and blind. 4 So people need to look after them in labs(实验室). 5 The earth is getting warmer. Some places may be not good for pandas to live. Some bamboo could go away(消失) within 80 years, scientists say. It’s still dangerous for pandas.
A. But there is still bad news.
B. And they are big eaters!
C. But a panda doesn’t eat much bamboo.
D. The number of pandas in China is going up.
E. They only open their eyes six to eight weeks after birth.
F. To help the pandas, China set up 67 panda reserves(保护区).
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

【分析】
本题为七选五阅读理解题，需结合上下文的语境、逻辑关系（如递进、因果、转折等）选择合适的句子填空。解题思路：先通读全文，明确文章围绕中国熊猫的现状、保护措施及面临的问题展开；再逐个分析空白处前后文内容，匹配对应选项：1处前文讲中国是熊猫家园，后文官员提到未来熊猫数量会增加，对应数量上升的表述；2处前文说熊猫爱吃竹子，后文讲每天吃大量竹子，对应“大食客”的递进说明；3处前文讲熊猫曾缺食物数量少，后文提到保护区种竹子，对应建立保护区的措施；4处前文说熊猫出生小且看不见，对应睁眼时间的描述；5处后文讲熊猫仍面临危险，对应“还有坏消息”的转折引出。
【解析】
1. 空白处前文提到中国是熊猫的家园，后文官员表示未来会有更多熊猫，D选项“The number of pandas in China is going up.”（中国熊猫的数量正在上升）符合上下文逻辑，故1选D。
2. 空白处前文指出熊猫最喜欢的食物是竹子，后文说明熊猫每天需要12-38公斤竹子，B选项“And they are big eaters!”（而且它们是大食客！）承接前文，解释熊猫吃得多的原因，故2选B。
3. 空白处前文提到20世纪80年代熊猫因食物不足数量减少，后文提到在保护区种竹子，F选项“To help the pandas, China set up 67 panda reserves(保护区).”（为了帮助熊猫，中国建立了67个熊猫保护区）衔接上下文，说明解决食物问题的措施，故3选F。
4. 空白处前文提到熊猫出生时很小且看不见，E选项“They only open their eyes six to eight weeks after birth.”（它们出生后6到8周才睁开眼睛）解释了“看不见”的具体情况，故4选E。
5. 空白处后文提到地球变暖、熊猫仍面临危险，A选项“But there is still bad news.”（但仍然有坏消息）引出后文的问题，符合逻辑，故5选A。
