30、ome fragmented; a combination of satellite imagery and ground surveys reveals panda “islands” in patches of forest separated by cleared land. The population of these islands has become isolated because the animals are loath to cross open areas .Just putting a road through panda habitat may be enough
31、 to split a population in two. The minuscule size of the panda populations worries conservationists. The smallest groups have too few animals to be viable, and will inevitably die out .The larger populations may be viable in the short term, but will be susceptible to genetic defects as a result of i
32、nbreeding. In these circumstances, a more traditional threat to pandas the cycle of flowering and subsequent withering of the bamboo that is their staple food can become literally species-threatening. The flowering prompts pandas to move from one area to another, thus preventing inbreeding in otherw
33、ise sedentary populations. In pandas, however, bamboo flowering could prove catastrophic(灾难性的)because the pandas are unable emigrate. The latest conservation management plan for the panda, prepared by Chinas Ministry of Forestry and the World Wide Fund for Nature, aims primarily at maintaining panda
34、 habitats and ensuring that populations are linked wherever possible. This plan will change some existing reserve boundaries, establish 14 new reserves and protect or replant corridors-of forest between panda islands. Other measures include better control of poaching, reducing the degradation of hab
35、itats outside reserves, and reforestation. The plan is ambitious. Implementation will be expensive and will require participation by individuals ranging from villagers to government officials. Question 61 to 65: Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, onl

As a result, pandas are more prone to problems and are unable to (62) 2 around freely, following the growth cycles of (63) 3 plant. A new
37、plan aims to protect existing panda (64) 4 and to join some of them together. This plan also involves reforestation and the creation of new reserves.

38、rks) Honda has developed a way to read patterns of electric currents on a persons scalp as well as changes in cerebral blood flow when a person thinks about four simple movements-moving the right hand, moving the left hand, running and eating. 67 In a video shown at Tokyo headquarters, a person wear
39、ing a helmet sat still but thought about moving his right hand a thought that was picked up by electrodes attached to his head inside the helmet. 68 Honda said the technology wasnt quite ready for a live demonstration because of possible distractions in the persons thinking. Another problem is that
40、brain patterns differ greatly among individuals, and so about two to three hours of studying them in advance are needed for the technology to work. The company, a leader in robotics, acknowledged the technology was still at a basic research stage, with no immediate practical applications in the work
41、s. 69 Japan boasts one of the leading robotics industries in the world, and the government is pushing to develop the industry as a road to growth. Research on the brain is being tackled around the world, but Honda said its research was among the most advanced in figuring out ways to read brain patte
42、rns without having to hurt the person, such as embedding (植入) sensors into the skin . Honda has made robotics a centerpiece of its image, sending Asimo to events and starring the walking, talking robot in TV ads. 70 “Our products are for people to use.
