21. BBC News （May 11. 2008） -Edinburgh Zoo makes plans to bring a pair of giant pandas from China to Scotland. Zoo representatives recently returned from China, where they signed a letter of intent making a promise to bring giant pandas to Edinburgh.  
It's been suggested that a breeding pair should be on loan to the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland （RZSS） for 10 years. It is hoped that they would give birth to cubs during that time. Edinburgh Zoo would be only the eighth zoo in the western hemisphere to care for the species if the project goes ahead.
Zoo chiefs said that looking after the endangered animals could benefit conservation. David Windmill, chief executive of RZSS, said, "Working with giant pandas means so much more to us than introducing a new species to our collection. It's an opportunity to work on a global level with other conservationists to gain a better understanding of giant pandas-the threats they face, and what we can do to ensure their survival. "
At present there're only around 1,500 giant pandas in the wild. RZSS has been working on the project for almost a year, and hopes to have giant pandas at Edinburgh Zoo by 2009, the year of the society's centenary.
Mr. Windmill said that the project had received strong support from the UK and the Scottish government and that this must continue if the zoo was to reach an agreement with the Chinese. As part of the proposed agreement with the Chinese government, Edinburgh Zoo will collaborate on research projects benefiting conservation in the wild.
RZSS will also provide considerable money to support giant panda conservation projects in the wild. Giant pandas live in a few mountain ranges in central China and feed almost only on bamboo, which makes up 99% of their diet.

61. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Edinburgh Zoo does research into giant pandas.
B. Giant pandas live happily at Edinburgh Zoo.
C. Edinburgh Zoo expects giant pandas from China.
D. Scotland supports giant panda conservation.
62. What result did zoo representatives get from China?
A. China promised to sell two giant pandas before 2009.
B. A breeding pair is on loan to RZSS for 10 years.
C. They signed a letter of intent about giant pandas to be loaned to Edinburgh Zoo.
D. China promised to offer money for research into giant pandas.
63. If Edinburgh Zoo can borrow giant pandas, what will happen?
A. RZSS will have a better understanding of living habits of giant pandas.
B. RZSS will celebrate its centenary in 2009.
C. Scotland will be the eighth country to have giant pandas.
D. Edinburgh Zoo will be the eighth zoo to have giant pandas in the world.
64. The underlined part "the project" （in Paragraph 4） refers to“      ”.
A. the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland itself
B. the celebration of RZSS’s centenary
C. introducing giant pandas to RZSS’s collection
D borrowing giant pandas from China for conservation
65. At present what seems to be the key factor for giant pandas to successfully go to Edinburgh Zoo?
A. RZSS’s attitude.                       B. The Scottish government’ s attitude.
C. Edinburgh Zoo’s support.                D. The Chinese government's attitude.

22.     Do you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us，shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me．it's something I would rather avoid．Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs，electrical items，even food，from the comfort of your sofa．But that’s not the only reason：price is an important factor．We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy．This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”．
Showrooming is something I've done．I will go to a shop to see，touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock—down price．I'm not alone in doing this．Research by a company called Foolproof，found 24％of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013．
Amy Cashman，Head of Technology at TNS UK，says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that“people are lacking time，lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying．”She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around．
But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change．They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in—store discounts or free girls．
We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare．It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming，you get the best of both worlds!
51．The two questions in Paragraph l are raised to       
A．introduce the topic           B．give two examples
C．compare different opinions     D．get answers from readers
52．What does showrooming mean in the text?
A．Trying in shops and buying online．
B．Showing products in a room．
C．Buying something in a store．
D．Shopping on the Internet．
53．According to Amy Cashman，which is not the reason for showrooming?
A．The lack of time．         B．The comfort of the sofa．
C．The shortness of money．   D．The security of the product．
54．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 ?
A．Online shops will disappear．
B．Free gifts will surely promote sales．
C．Shops need necessary changes．
D．Shops will be replaced by online shops．
55．The author's attitude towards showrooming is        
A．critical  B．neutral   C．supportive  D．casual
