【题目】 Even as a bush fire threatened the rural Australian community, Gary Wilson and his partner Julie Willis decided not to flee their wooden house.

The two had a home full of baby kangaroos to protect. More than 10 of the baby kangaroos — called joeys — stayed safe inside fabric pouches (育儿袋) that hung in the couple's living room. Each piece of cloth looked like the opening in which mother kangaroos carry their young. Wilson and Willis have taken care of wild animals before. Recently, full-grown kangaroos and other wildlife that had left their care long ago came back to the house in search of protection as the fires grew nearer. 'We had too many animals in the house and around the house so we really couldn't go, ' Wilson said. 'We decided we were going to stay and fight. ' Their home is now surrounded by burned land and vehicles.

Wilson and Willis defended their home with fire extinguishers (灭火器) and water pumps. Their house also had a special device on top that sprayed water on hot ashes falling on the roof.

Good preparation and good luck helped the building stay safe. And the animals have survived. But the fire killed two of Wilson's neighbors. 'It was a horrible thing. ' Wilson said.

Willis said, 'It's not until after the fires when it really hits you how close you were to dying... '

While Wilson and Willis usually care for joeys that are rescued after their mothers are struck by vehicles, they are now welcoming an increasing number of fire orphans.

She said, 'We didn't have children ourselves; this is what we spend our time doing. We think it's worthy — a worthy cause — looking after our babies no matter what they are... '

【答案】

3A

【解析】

这是一篇新闻报道。本文主要讲述Wilson Willis夫妇两冒着危险救助火灾中失去母亲的幼兽的故事。

1细节理解题。根据第二段的More than 10 of the baby kangaroos — called joeys — stayed safe inside fabric pouches (育儿袋) that hung in the couple's living room.(超过10只婴儿袋鼠安全地呆在织物做成的育儿袋里,这些“育儿袋”挂在夫妇两的客厅里)可知,Wilson Willis亲手为婴儿袋鼠织育儿袋。C. Wilson and Willis made pouches for baby kangaroos(Wilson Willis为婴儿袋鼠制作育儿袋)符合以上说法,故选C项。

2词义猜测题。根据划线部分所在句子While Wilson and Willis usually care for joeys that are rescued after their mothers are struck by vehicles, they are now welcoming an increasing number of fire orphans.可知,虽然Wilson Willis通常会照顾那些母亲被车撞后被救下的小袋鼠,但是他们现在迎来了越来越多的火灾幸存者。根据句意可知,划线部分指的是母亲在火灾中被烧死的幼兽。C. baby animals whose mothers get killed in the fire(母亲在火灾中死亡的幼兽)符合以上说法,故选C项。

3推理判断题。根据第一段Even as a bush fire threatened the rural Australian community, Gary Wilson and his partner Julie Willis decided not to flee their wooden house.(尽管森林大火威胁着澳大利亚的社区,但Gary Wilson和他的伴侣Julie Willis还是决定不逃离他们的木屋)和下文内容可知,本文主要讲述Wilson Willis夫妇两救助火灾中失去母亲的幼兽的故事。由此推测,本文来自一篇新闻报道,第一段是该报道的导语。A. A news report.(一篇新闻报道)符合以上推测,故选A项。

Many people living in cities see riding a bicycle as good exercise. But, a recent medical 1 research warned that cyclists should think twice before cycling in the streets it actually does more harm than good 2 their bodies.

Is cycling in cities really bad for your health? Probably yes. The main danger comes from the air around you. Breathing 3 in air pollution from taxis and buses can damage blood vessels(血管).Scientists say the damage could outweigh the health benefits of cycling.

David Newby, a British 4 researcher at Edinburgh University broke the news. In his tests, 15 healthy men cycled 5 on exercise bikes in a room with levels of air pollution similar to those found 6 on a crowded city street. After an hour of cycling, the scientists found their blood vessels became less flexible and produced less of a protein(蛋白质)7 the heart needs. The damage leads to the early stages of heart disease. What's worse, the faster a cyclist pedals (蹬车),8 more air they breathe in. So those who believe 9 they are improving their fitness the most are storing up the biggest trouble for themselves 10.
