Units 1－2 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2017年陕西省西安市高三模拟)Two young giant-panda twins born in the United States have returned home to China，but are struggling to adapt to the language and food. The 3-year-old sisters，Mei Lun and Mei Huan，were the first surviving panda twins to be born in the United States，and were returned to China from Zoo Atlanta on Nov.5.But the pair still understand English better than Chinese，and prefer American biscuits to Chinese bread. A zoo-keeper said that his main concern is that the pair are so addicted to American biscuits that everything they eat—from bamboos to apples—has to be mixed with biscuits.They even want to snack on(吃零食) biscuits when drinking water. The zoo-keeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit，gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread.Mei Huan is adapting，but Mei Lun doesnt want to touch the unfamiliar bread. Mei Lun is the livelier of the two，often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail，but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer，preferring to sit still，observe her new environment and occasionally snack on bamboo. A language barrier is also reported.While the pair respond to their own names，and understand some English phrases such as“come here”，they dont understand the Sichuan dialect of Chinese. The news caused some laughter on Chinese social media，with some users commenting that the pandas would soon get used to Sichuans famous spicy cuisine. 【语篇解读】　本文是一则新闻报道，介绍了从美国归来的熊猫美轮和美奂目前还不能适应中国的语言和食物的事情。 1．Based on the passage，which statement do you think is right?
