Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

(创新题)It’s been seven days since a 7.0-magnitude strong earthquake hit Ya’an in Sichuan Province.How the earthquake has affected one of Sichuan Province’s special residents—pandas？How are the animals coping? And do they have enough food to eat?

There are more than 80 pandas living here at the Chengdu Panda Breeding Base.7 baby pandas have just left their mothers and have begun to learn how to feed for themselves.

The quake was felt strongly in Chengdu.Fortunately，all of the pandas here were out on the grounds when the earthquake hit，so they were very safe.Although no deaths or injuries have been reported among the Baoxing panda population so far，they’ve been badly frightened by the earthquake.Several days has passed and the earthquake seems to have made no discernible(可辨别的)negative impact on the pandas.These two baby pandas Chengshuang and Chengdui are playing fighting with each other and climbing trees.When they climbed too high，the breeders have to rescue them from the trees.

The visitors are amused by the scenes and think it’s like a fantastic acrobatics show.

The quake zone is not only the home of these pandas，it’s also the source of their food.Fortunately，enough bamboo has been stored away in five bamboo storehouses for the pandas，so there are no worries with regard to food supplies.

Wu Kongju，Breeder，Chengdu Panda Breeding Base，said，“When the Wenchuan earthquake happened in 2008，we were unprepared and had a shortage of bamboo.But we’ve been able to handle this earthquake event more smoothly.There are no problems with the food supply.”Apart from the pandas’ favorite Baijia Bamboo，breeders also give them bamboo shoots，which are very rich in nutrients.

Wu Kongju said，“Bamboo shoots contain more protein than ordinary bamboo，and they’re also very succulent because they contain more water.”

(2014·深圳调研)Since the beginning of the year，smog has covered parts of North China.In January，Beijing saw only five days without smog.The rising PM 2.5 readings terrified many people，and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious，hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory(呼吸系统) and heart diseases.

Later，news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.

So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.

Smog is especially a common concern.As a popular online post said，air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone，despite your income or profession.People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices，but they breathe the same air as everyone else.

At a meeting on Monday，many Representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality，too.One talked about his experience in Beijing.“After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel，which took about an hour，I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black.We should ask ourselves this question：Why do we want to develop? It’s for living a better life.Dirty air is definitely not a better life，”he said.

China needs to develop its economy and invest(投资)in high-tech.Every Chinese has a dream to make China stronger.But without blue sky，clean water and safe food，the achievements in the economy will become meaningless.Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can

What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China.The great efforts must be made to promote ecological progress and build a beautiful China.The words have shown the central government’s determination to address the environment issue.

C．the increase of people’s income D．patients increased in hospital

解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“The rising PM 2.5...more patients suffering acute respiratory (呼吸系统) and heart diseases.”可知，雾霾导致PM 2.5值升高，许多人因呼吸疾病、心脏病突发而住院。故答案选C。
