【題目】 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 (育兒袋) 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 (滅火器) 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... '

【解析】

這是一篇新聞報道。本文主要講述Wilson 和Willis夫婦兩冒著危險救助火災(zāi)中失去母親的幼獸的故事。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的More than 10 of the baby kangaroos — called joeys — stayed safe inside fabric pouches (育兒袋) that hung in the couple's living room.(超過10只嬰兒袋鼠安全地呆在織物做成的育兒袋里，這些“育兒袋”掛在夫婦兩的客廳里)可知，Wilson 和Willis親手為嬰兒袋鼠織育兒袋。C. Wilson and Willis made pouches for baby kangaroos(Wilson 和Willis為嬰兒袋鼠制作育兒袋)符合以上說法，故選C項。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線部分所在句子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，雖然Wilson 和Willis通常會照顧那些母親被車撞后被救下的小袋鼠，但是他們現(xiàn)在迎來了越來越多的火災(zāi)幸存者。根據(jù)句意可知，劃線部分指的是母親在火災(zāi)中被燒死的幼獸。C. baby animals whose mothers get killed in the fire(母親在火災(zāi)中死亡的幼獸)符合以上說法，故選C項。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)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.(盡管森林大火威脅著澳大利亞的社區(qū)，但Gary Wilson和他的伴侶Julie Willis還是決定不逃離他們的木屋)和下文內(nèi)容可知，本文主要講述Wilson 和Willis夫婦兩救助火災(zāi)中失去母親的幼獸的故事。由此推測，本文來自一篇新聞報道，第一段是該報道的導語。A. A news report.(一篇新聞報道)符合以上推測，故選A項。

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（蛋白質(zhì)）【7】 the heart needs. The damage leads to the early stages of heart disease. What's worse, the faster a cyclist pedals （蹬車），【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】.
