　　(2017·杭州教学质量检测)

　　Tony Burke, Australia's environment

　　minister,

　　says

　　he won't

　　decide

　　until

　　next

　　year whether the koala

　　should

　　be protected as an endangered species. He was expected to make his decision by the end of October.

　　But that decision has been put off. Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koala's population.

　　In September, an Australian Senate committee reported that there was no question the koala's population is on the decrease. “But they may not yet be eligible (符合条件) for listing as a threatened species，”said Senator Doug Cameron. “To have such a significant Australian icon (偶像) included on the threatened species list would be a national shame.”

　　The koala is found only in the eucalyptus (桉树) forests of Australia.

　　And its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons, including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings' development, their own illness, climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs. And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads. Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news，”said Debbie Pointing, the president of the Koala Action Group. “We've worked tirelessly for many years to gather data on the populations，”Pointing said. “That data should be enough to make a decision.”

　　However, Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996. Senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queensland—the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads, to keep the animals out of harm's way.

　　Some people say that is not enough. “What we're doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction，” Queensland University zoologist Bill Ellis said.

　　“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal，” Burke told Australians. “They hold a special place in the hearts of Australians.”

　　But it is a fact that if more isn't done to protect the koala, they might soon hold a place only in Australians' memories.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇资讯报道。澳大利亚环境部长伯克推迟宣布考拉属于濒危动物的决定。

　　1．Tony Burke put off announcing the koala as an endangered species because ________.

　　A．he needed more time to examine the latest information

　　B．he doubted whether koalas' number is decreasing

　　C．he was thinking about ways to protect koalas

　　D．he had more important issues to deal with

　　答案：A　推理判断题。由第一段最后一句可以得出答案，Burke需要更多的时间来核实相关的信息。

　　2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

　　A．The habitat of the koala.

　　B．Australia's traffic problems.

　　C．The importance of koalas for Australians.

　　D．Reasons for the decrease of the koala population.

　　答案：D　段落大意题。由第三段中的“...its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons, including...”可知，该段主要谈论了导致考拉数量锐减的若干原因，故选D项。

　　3．According to the text, Debbie Pointing thinks that ________.

　　A．the construction of special koala bridges is of little use

　　B．koalas are becoming less important in Australians' hearts

　　C．the government is to blame for the decreasing koala population

　　D．the government should announce the koala as an endangered species

　　答案：D　细节理解题。从第三段中Debbie Pointing所说的话“Putting off the decision on protection for the koalo ‘is really bad news’”以及“That data should be enough to make a decision”可知，他认为政府应该宣布考拉为濒危动物。

　　4．It can be learned from the text that Tony Burke ________.

　　A．thought the government has done much for koalas

　　B．called on Australians to take care of the koala

　　C．decided to construct more fences along roads

　　D．was optimistic about the koala's future

　　答案：A　推理判断题。由倒数第四段中Burke所提到的政府在保护考拉方面所作的努力可知A项正确。

　　5．What is the main idea of the text?

　　A．Australia puts off the decision on whether the koala is

　　endangered.

　　B．Australia is taking special measures to protect koalas.

　　C．The population of koalas is reducing rapidly.

　　D．Australians are concerned about koalas.

　　答案：A　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要报道了澳大利亚环境部长伯克推迟宣布考拉属于濒危动物的决定这一事件以及社会各方对这一决定的反应，故选A项。
