Save Pandas
With the Switzerland-based World Wildlife Fund(WWF),China is making a concerted and dedicated effort to save the endangered pandas.The results,officials here in Chengdu indicate,are mixed but encouraging.
A clear disappointment is the failure to breed pandas in captivity,necessary if their decreasing numbers are to be replaced.Another failure has been the incapability to find a natural,readily available food to replace the arrow bamboo. Despite these failures,success has come on two fronts.One achievement has been the physical rescue effort.Some pandas have been kept alive by salting（空投）the mountains with tons of cooked meat , which pandas will eat as a substitute for bamboo,and by the planting of new bamboo in isolated areas.Animals in some Sichuan areas have been rescued by local peasants and given emergency treatment by animal doctors.
A second achievement is a massive fund-raising effort.Publicity about the pandas plight has resulted in a new$100,000 emergency allocation by the WWF and independent fund drives both in China and abroad.
In spite of this support,there have been conflicts in the panda relief program.One important problem is the difficulty Peking is having balancing the recommendations of environmentalists with China's ambitious goal of agricultural and industrial modernization.
Wolong is but one example of this difficulty.This 494,000-acre preserve was declared a protected area in 1975.Yet 1,800 people,mostly Tibetans,still live in the preserve,logging trucks still roll down the narrow mountain roads,and blasting work still goes on at the site of a new 160,000-kilowatt hydroelectric plant just six miles away.
This all means that the pandas'fight for survival will not be an easy one,even with the concerted effort of man.For in the end,even if they can survive the dangers of the wild,they must still contend with man himseff.
选项 Efforts to save the endangered pandas____＿.
A:have failed completely
B:have proven highly successful
C:have met with setbacks but brought hope
D:have received no response from the scientists
答案C
解析由文章第一段最后一句话“The results , officials here in Chengdu indicate , are mixed but encouraging.”可知，拯救大熊猫行动的结果是虽然遇到挫折但是也带来了希望。故选C。
由文章倒数第二段可知，卧龙自然保护区占地面积为494 000英亩，然而至今保护区内还居住着1800人，伐木的大货车仍穿行在狭窄的山间小道上，离保护区六英里远的地方还有一个新建的可发电160000千瓦的水力发电站在轰隆隆地工作。这些都成为威胁大熊猫生存的因素。故选D。
由文章第二段第一句话“A clear disappointment is the failure to breed pandas in captivity…”可知，在笼子里饲养大熊猫是失败的，这不利于大熊猫数量的增加。故选A。
由文章第四段第二句话“Publicity about the pandas plight … by the WWF and independent fund drives both in China and abroad.”可知，捐助的基金款项主要来自于WWF（世界自然基金会）和国内外的独立募捐。由此可以判断出大熊猫的生存问题是国际共同关注的问题。故选B。
由文章最后一段“This all means that pandas ' fight for survival….they must still contendwith man himself.”可知，大熊猫生存下去并不容易。因为威胁大熊猫生存的因素不仅有恶劣个的野生环境，还有人类活动。由此可知，作者对大熊猫的生存是担忧的。故选A
