They are always attempting jumps they can already do very easily, ________ (remain) within their comfort zone. This is why they don't fall over.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国南方的大熊猫是如何成为可供人类饲养的动物的。

（1）考查非谓语动词。

句意：大熊猫或被称为熊猫是中国南方本土动物。

本句is是谓语动词，两个动词之间没有连词，得知称作是非谓语动词，与熊猫是被动关系。

用过去分词。

故填known 。

（2）考查介词。

句意：大熊猫或被称为熊猫是中国南方本土动物。

native to，固定短语，“本土的”，故填to 。

（3）考查时态语态。

句意：在过去几年，大熊猫被驱逐出低地，那是由于农业发展，森林破坏和其他发展，熊猫曾经居住的地方。

In the past many years，提示用现在完成时，the giant panda 和驱逐是被动关系。

故填has been driven。

（4）考查名词。

句意：在过去几年，大熊猫被驱逐出低地，那是由于农业发展，森林破坏和其他发展，熊猫曾经居住的地方。

other修饰名词。

故填development 。

（5）考查非谓语动词。

句意：估计显示大约1590种动物住在野外。

本句已经有谓语动词be，动词之间没有连词，因此用非谓语动词，individuals和居住是表示主动关系。

故填living。

（6）考查冠词。

句意：一些报道表明野外大熊猫数量在上涨。

the number of固定短语，“...…的数量”。

故填the。

（7）考查定语从句。

句意：西方人第一次了解大熊猫是在1869。
