【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些关于大熊猫的信息。

1．句意：它们现在生活在危险中。根据前文的“We need to do something for giant pandas.”和后文的“ it’s easy for baby pandas to get sick”可知，熊猫生活在危险中。in danger“在危险中”。故填(d)anger。

2．句意：例如，在大熊猫的一生中，它们不会有很多的幼崽，并且，对于年幼的大熊猫来说，当他们很小的时候，很容易生病和死亡。根据对句子结构的分析可知，此处需填入介词，与后面的“their lives”一起构成介词短语作状语。结合设空处前后的内容及首字母可知，此处表达的是：在大熊猫的生命期间，即在大熊猫的一生中。during“在……期间”，符合逻辑。故填(d)uring。
