【分析】
解题时需先通读短文，明确文章核心内容：介绍大熊猫在中国的象征意义及文化内涵。
对于任务一的选择题，要逐题定位原文信息，通过比对选项与原文内容排除错误答案：
1. 第1题需找到文中提到的大熊猫作为吉祥物的奥运会年份，对应原文第一段的2008夏奥和2022冬奥，从而确定未提及的2012年为答案；
2. 第2题分析第一段主旨，第一段围绕大熊猫是中国国家象征、出现在金币上、作为两届奥运吉祥物展开，核心是说明大熊猫在中国的重要性；
3. 第3题需判断选项表述是否符合原文，原文最后提到人们爱大熊猫是因为它可爱且温和，并非“只因为可爱”，据此选出错误选项。
对于任务二的填空题，要根据原文细节直接提取对应词汇，锁定第二段中关于大熊猫象征意义的描述，找到每个象征对应的原因，填写缺失的词汇。
