Though much effort and many resources have been spent on protecting the endangered giant panda，research by an international team of scientists shows that much suitable panda habitat is outside the nature reserves and areas where the panda is reported to live.

“This research can help the Chinese government and international non­governmental organizations develop full strategic(战略上的) plans for more effective conservation of the panda，” said Jianguo Liu，MSU University Distinguished Professor of fisheries and wildlife.

“Overall，about 40 percent of the suitable habitat for pandas is inside the nature reserves，”said Andres Vina，a specialist.“But we have also identified potentially suitable habitat outside the reserves.”

The giant panda is the rarest member of the bear family.Pandas once ranged throughout most of China，northern Vietnam and northern Myanmar.Today，fewer than 1，600 giant pandas live in the wild in three Chinese provinces：Gansu，Shanxi and Sichuan.Human actions—including logging(伐木)，residential development and the expansion of farming—are considered the main reasons for the dramatic decrease of the giant panda’s habitat.

The research team developed habitat models using geographical and environmental information gathered by satellites overlaid with information on panda occurrence.After analyzing six mountain regions in the three provinces where pandas are known to live，the scientists developed a habitat suitability index(索引) for the entire 48，328 square­mile area.The range­wide habitat analysis model gives the government and other agencies a new tool as they develop conservation strategies not only for pandas but also for many other endangered species.

“The Chinese government plans to add about 69，500 square miles of land to the country’s nature reserve system between 2010 and 2020，”said Zhiyun Ouyang，director of the Lab of Urban and Regional Ecology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.“So opportunities exist to create new reserves，to expand existing reserves and to create pathways that increase the connectivity among the reserves.On the basis of our results，we suggest some new areas be included in China’s nature reserve system.”

1．Which of the following is NOT true?

A．China has made lots of efforts to protect the giant pandas.

B．Pandas live better only outside the nature reserves.

C．More plans should be created to protect the giant pandas.

D．Jianguo Liu is a professor who devotes himself to fisheries and wildlife.

B　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的Though much effort可知A项正确；根据第二段的develop full strategic(战略上的) plans for more effective conservation of the panda可知C 项正确；根据第二段的Professor of fisheries and wildlife可知D项正确；第一段说自然保护区外还有更适合大熊猫生存的栖息地，并没说大熊猫在外面生活得更好，故选B。

2．The purpose of developing habitat models is________．

A．to know where pandas actually live in China

B．to build a larger nature reserve for the pandas

C．to develop conservation strategies for endangered species

D．to give governments a warning

C　解析：细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句话．..not only for pandas but also for many other endangered species.可知答案为C项。

3．The underlined word“overlaid”in the fifth paragraph probably means “________”．

A．covered　　　　　　　　 B．connected

C．coped D．varied

A　解析：词义猜测题。此处意为：卫星被这种信息覆盖着。be covered with被……覆盖着。

4．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Zhiyun Ouyang hopes more areas will become nature reserves in China.

B．China has about 69，500 square miles of nature reserves now.

C．The existing reserves will remain the same.

D．The existing reserves shouldn’t be expanded.

A　解析：推理判断题。从最后一段的to create，to expand，be included可以推断出他希望在中国有越来越多的保护区出现，故选A项。
