Good news for giant panda lovers: the cute and cuddly creature has just been brought back from the edge of extinction.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) ____31____ the species from “endangered” to “vulnerable” as the union released its updated Red List on Sept.4 at Hawaii with their ____32____ growing by 17 percent in the decade leading up to 2014.
Chinese conservation efforts, including forest protection and reforestation, are considered to be the ____33____ force behind the animal’s re-prosperity. The number of panda ____34____ in China has also jumped to 67, from 13 in 1992. Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live there. Restoring the panda’s habitat has given them back their space with food available to them.
A part from giant pandas, the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from “endangered” to “near threatened”. According to a statement from IUCN, the animals numbers have shrunk severely- dropping from around I million to a(n)___35___65,000-72,500 in the 1980s and early 1990s-due to commercial poaching(偷猎). Rigorous protection has since been ___36___ to protect the beasts and the population is now likely to be between 100,000 and 150,000.
Despite the improved __37__ wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face great challenges. The IUCN warned, for example, that ongoing threats from climate change could eliminate more than 35 percent of the panda’s bamboo habitat in the next 80 years, which would ____38____ the species recent gains.
Good progress has been made but there is still work to do.

III. Reading Comprehension Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
How to help your kids find a purpose? You don’t have to start with the really big questions. “Quick, what’s the meaning of life?” Many of us may not be able to answer that, but that doesn’t ___41___ our kids don’t have questions or need answers.
“The sense that your personal life is ___42___ to you is a basis of psychological well-being,” says Michael F. Steger, director of the laboratory for Meaning and Quality of Life at Colorado State University. Not only that, it is tightly tied to being happier, more positive, more ___43___, more caring, more helpful, more resilient(坚韧), and more satisfied in your life, relationships, and work.
But helping your kids find meaning doesn’t mean parents have to ___44___ all life’s ancient mysteries, Steger says. The ___45___ is to understand the difference between the meaning of life and the meaning in life.
“We do not have to start with the biggest and most troubling questions about our lives,” Steger says. “We can start with trying to ___46___ how, today, right now, we are going to do one thing that makes the story of our lives more positive, or makes a positive difference to someone else.”
With kids in ___47___school, Steger says, “At the most basic level, our best hopes for our children are that they feel their lives matter and that they ___48___.” To start conversations along those lines, says Steger. “You can ask questions about what they think their best ___49___ or strengths are, whether they have good relationships with other people, whether they care about others. You can ask them about times when they have made a difference, made someone feel better, felt __50__ for doing something, or helped someone out. All of these kinds of questions can start a conversation about your kid’s ___51___way of being in and contributing to the world.”
In middle school, says Steger, “Kids are being exposed to ideas, behaviors, assumptions, and priorities that might be ___52___ different from the ones they have always assumed were rue.” So for kids this age, parents can start conversations focusing on how your children’s sense of who they are, how they related to others and what life is has been___53___.
By high school, according to Steger, “We hope our children see how much their lives matter, see that they are at the beginning of an exciting and strengthening life story, and have some slight ideas about ___54___.” But the question of what you want to do with your life is too big for a single conversation, says Steger. Instead, he encourages parents to have ___55___, smaller
conversations with their kids about how they view themselves and their lives, and what kind of impact they would like to make.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage in followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.
(A)
Researchers have developed a method to activate electronic implants in the body and eliminate bacterial infections using a wireless signal.When triggered by remote technology, the device delivers hear to infected tissue.And it could lead to technologies that enable drugs and treatment to be delivered to patients at the press of a button.
The technology was developed by researchers at Tufts University in Massachusetts and the University of Illinois. Mice were given electronic implants that, when a signal was sent, heated up to treat tissue that was infected with staphylococcus, which can cause life-threatening infections of the blood.Tissues collected from the mice 24 hours after treatment showed no sign of the infection, while the device dissolved in 15 days, proving it can not only treat infections but also be disposed of easily.
The research, which also eliminated E. coli bacteria, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Each device, made of silk and magnesium(镁元素), harmlessly dissolved in the animals after the tests.The heating device in the implants has a resistor and power-receiving coil made of magnesium, and the magnesium is wrapped in 'packet' of silk, keeping it safe and controlling its dissolution time.The ability of the device to dissolve is important, as it means such implants would not need to be removed. Implantable medical devices normally use non-degradable materials that have limited operational lifetimes and must eventually be removed or replaced. But these new wireless therapy devices can handle the surgical process,
