九年级英语单选题简单题查看答案及解析

It was a touching moment at the National Zoo in Washington, US: tens of thousands of people from all over the country, and even the world, came to say goodbye to one of the area’s most popular residents(居民), BaoBao—a 3-year-old panda.

BaoBao left for her new home in Chengdu, China on Feb 22. She’s the first female panda born in the US and has won the hearts of many Americans. A number of goodbye events were held, including a dumpling party and cake feedings. Information about her flight was even made available online so that people could keep learning about her journey.

It had been decided that BaoBao must return to China according to an agreement between China and the US. In fact,most pandas around the world are borrowed from China and baby pandas born abroad will be sent back before they’re four.

Being native to China and loved around the world, the cute black-and-white animals have played an important role in the country’s diplomacy (外交). This is known as“Panda Diplomacy”. Animal diplomacy dates back to the Tang Dynasty(唐朝), when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to the Japanese emperor. China restarted panda diplomacy in the 1950s when China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. The most famous was China’s gift of two pandas, Ling-Ling and Xing-Xing, to the US in 1972 after President Richard Nixon’s visit to China.

However, since early 1980s, China has stopped giving away pandas for free because their number is becoming smaller. For example, zoos in the US, UK and France“rent”pandas from China. The money they pay for the pandas, which are from tens of thousands to millions of US dollars, was used to protect and breed(繁育) the endangered animals.

Besides pandas, elephants and dogs have also been given as diplomatic gifts. In 1953, Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh sent Chairman Mao Zedong two Asian elephants as gifts as a symbol of the friendship between the two countries.

1.According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that ___________.

A.people ate dumplings and cakes to celebrate BaoBao’s leaving

B.some of BaoBao’s fans would travel back to China with her

C.fans of BaoBao could find out her flight information online

D.BaoBao’s everyday activities were open to her fans in the world

2.Why did BaoBao have to return to China?

A.Because her mother was in China. B.Because of serious illness.

C.Because she was already 5 years old. D.Because of the agreement.

3.Which of these countries is not mentioned to have received pandas from China as gifts?

A.Vietnam B.UK C.France D.USA

4.From Paragraphs 4 and 5, the writer is telling us ___________.

A.Zoos in the US, UK and France “rent” pandas to make much money

B.China is not giving away pandas to foreign countries for free any more

C.Ling-Ling and Xing-Xing were gifts for the US president himself

D.The money from those foreign countries was used to help build zoos

5.Which of the following statements is TRUE about panda diplomacy?

A.Wu Zetian was the first empress to give away pandas as diplomatic gifts.

B.China has been sending pandas as gifts to foreign countries for over 60 years.

C.The panda diplomacy has never been stopped in Chinese history.

D.By 1982, China had sent pandas to 23 foreign countries as diplomatic gifts.

For thousands of years, people have lived with dogs. Ancient paintings on the walls of caves show people living with dogs. Almost a third of the homes in the United States and England have dogs, and these dogs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.

The largest dog in the world was a dog named Zorba. When Zorba, a mastiff, was seven years old in 1989, he was 94 centimeters (37 inches) tall. In other words, Zorba was more than half as tall as an adult man. At his largest, Zorba weighed more than a heavy weight boxer at 156 kilograms(343 pounds).

In comparison, the smallest bog was a Yorkshire terrier from England. This dog was only the size of a matchbox, measuring 7.1 centimeters(2.8 inches) tall and 9.5 centimeters (3.75 inches) from nose to tail. It weighed about half as much as a common book, and even a young child could easily pick it up with one hand. It passed away in 1945 when it was only two years old.

Some dogs are wonderful, not for their sizes, but for their brains. One incredible (难以制信的)dog is Endal, the companion (陪伴) of a man named Allen Parton who has used a wheelchair since a car accident in 1991.

In 2001, Parton was hit by a car while crossing a road with Endal, and thrown out of his chair. Endal quickly moved Parton into the recovery place, covered him with a blanket(毯子), and pushed his mobile phone close enough for him to reach. Then, once he saw that Parton was all right, Endal ran back and forth to a nearby hotel, barking until people came out to help.

Endal was rewarded for his bravery by being awarded a medal, and he has been the subject of a number of TV documentaries.
