The giant panda is the rarest member of the bear family. They mainly live in the forests of southwestern China. Currently, there are about 1,000 giant pandas in the world. The bamboo-eating animals are facing many threats. Therefore, to ensure the survival of the giant panda is more important than ever.

旅游

越來越多的中國年輕人正對旅游產(chǎn)生興趣，這是近年來的新趨勢。年輕游客數(shù)量和不斷增加，可以歸于他們迅速提高的收入和探索外部世界的好奇心。隨著旅行多了，年輕人在大城市和著名景點花的時間少了，他們反而更為偏遠的地方所吸引，有些人甚至選擇長途背包旅行。最近調(diào)查顯示，很多年輕人想要通過旅行體驗不同的文化，豐富知識，拓寬視野。

More and more Chinese young people are becoming interested in travelling, which is a new trend in recent years. The increasing number of young tourists can be attributed to the rapid rise of their income and curiosity for exploring the outside world. With more travel, young people spend less time in big cities and famous sights. Instead, they are attracted to more remote places. Some people even choose a long backpacking trip. A recent survey shows that many young people want to experience a different culture, enrich their knowledge and broaden their horizons through travelling.
互聯(lián)網(wǎng)

中國的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)社區(qū)是全世界發(fā)展最快的，**10年，中國約有4.2億網(wǎng)民，而且人數(shù)還在迅速增長�；ヂ�(lián)網(wǎng)的日漸流行帶來了重大的社會變化。中國網(wǎng)民往往不同于美國網(wǎng)民。美國網(wǎng)民更多的是受實際需要的驅(qū)使，用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)為工具發(fā)電子郵件、買賣商品、做研究、規(guī)劃旅程或付款。中國網(wǎng)民更多是出于社交原因使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，因而更廣泛的使用論壇、博客、聊天室等等。

The Chinese Internet Community experienced the fastest development. By **10, there had been 4** million netizens in China and this number is still rising rapidly. The popularization of Internet has brought about huge changes. Generally speaking, American netizens are more often than not driven by real necessities such as sending emails, on-line trading, doing research, travel planning and on-line payment. While, Chinese netizens use Internet out of the need for social communication. Therefore, they log more generally onto web forums, blogs and chatting rooms.

本次選詞填空是一篇關(guān)于日常生活化學污染的文章。文章內(nèi)容雖然略帶科普性，但實際上與大家的日常生活息息相關(guān)，如果用生活常識和中文的背景知識來答題也能幫助不少。同時，從詞匯考查角度看，仍然與往年相同，副詞考查最少，名詞和動詞重點考查，所以與滬江英語教研君在平時向大家提倡的一樣，建議對選項和目標詞進行詞性的標注和預判，進而再根據(jù)語法規(guī)則及上下文邏輯確定最終答案。另外，本次考題再次證明了難詞往往不是答案，例如D. demonstrated，G. habitually都并未出現(xiàn)在答案中。

【點評】：

本次長篇閱讀匹配題是關(guān)于二戰(zhàn)后生育高峰的人在美國大蕭條時期遭遇下崗、被迫提前退休等困窘狀況的原因、影響等。文章題材與前兩年閱讀常考話題一致，屬于社會問題型�？疾轭}目中仍然以80%為細節(jié)題，僅有46題和53題為主旨概括題，其他均為細節(jié)題。而細節(jié)題的好處是題干中的定位詞和原文幾乎完全一致，如：47題laid off在I段第一句一致；50題Age discrimination在K段特殊標點符號，引號中為“Discrimination by age，…”。因此，從細節(jié)題居多，題干關(guān)鍵詞基本能與文章一一對應(yīng)來看，本篇難度與往年持平。(責任編輯：haoxuee)
