The victims were carried in one by one, their paws（爪子）and fur burnt, suffering from thirst and fear. Their caretakers bandaged their wounds, hugged them and laid them in baskets with the only thing that was familiar—the leaves of a eucalyptus tree （桉树）
As catastrophic fires have burned more than 2 million acres in Australia, dozens of koalas have been rescued from burning trees and grey ground.
“They are terrified," said Cheyne Flanagan, clinical director of the Koala Hospital in Port Macquarie, the only hospital of its kind in the world.
Koalas, unlike kangaroos, birds or snakes, do not flee from fires but instead climb trees to the top, where they can curl themselves into a ball for protection and wait for the danger to pass”
But during very serious fires, such as those that have burned in recent weeks, the animals, conservationists said, are far less likely to survive. Even if the fire itself does not reach the top of the tree, the animal may overheat and fall to the ground, where they can be burned to death.
The difficulty of the koala—a national symbol of Australia—has raised questions among conservationists and scientists about what it will take to preserve biodiversity in a country where there is more serious fire, extreme heat and lack of water.
While koalas have to get used to existing alongside wildfires, the animals are facing new danger not just from climate change but also from human activities, which has disturbed local populations, weakening their ability to survive fires.
“We have these unique animals not found anywhere else on this planet, and w e're killing them.” Flanagan said. "This is a big wake-up call.”
24. What will koalas do when facing the wildfire?
A. Flee to other places.
B. Hide under the ground.
C. Climb to the top of the tree.
D. Wait -for the rescue to come.
25. Besides wildfire, wh at else threatens koalas’ existence?
A.More human activities.
B. Less water to drink.
C. Bigger local population.
D. Weaker ability to climb. 26. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Koalas' living habits should be studied more carefully. B. More measures should be taken for koalas' protection. C. Wake-up calls should be made when wildfire happens. D. Killing unique animals should be banned in a strict way. 27. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Looking for unique animals in Australia. B. Protecting Australia's animals who cannot climb. C. Facing new threats which cause koalas' deaths. D. Saving the fire victims ： Australia's koalas. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】

Half of the world's beaches could disappear by 2100, a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change suggests.
Michalis Vousdoukas, of the European Union's Joint Research Center in Ispra, Italy, was the lead researchist. "Tourist areas which have sandy beaches as their main selling point will probably face strong consequences," he said. Aside from economic value, beaches play an important
environmental role. "Sandy beaches are important habitats supporting a wide range of species. They also protect the coast from the effects of storms, so without sandy beaches other inland environments can be affected by the effects of waves and saltwater entering," Vousdoukas added.
The main causes are rising sea-level and erosion (侵蚀)from storms, the study says, which warned of the near-disappearance of almost half of the world's sandy beaches by the end of the century. Beaches in the United States will be “greatly affected”，as will shorelines in Canada, Mexico, China and Chile. In the U. S. , beaches along the East Coast and the Gulf Coast will experience the most erosion.
Michalis V ousdoukas and other researchers used satellite images to track the way beaches have changed over the past 30 years and patterned how global warming might affect them in the future. They found that West Africa will see some of the worst losses, where more than 60% of sandy coastline may be lost in countries such as The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. Australia will also take a hit:when the total length of sandy beach projected to be lost is analyzed, Australia would be hit the hardest, with more than 7,000 miles at risk.
28. What mainly caused the disappearance of half of the world's beaches?
A. Over population and more tourism.
B. Severe erosion and coastline losses.
C. Global warming and climate change.
D. Sea-level rise and storm destruction.
29. Which country possibly loses more than half of sandy coastline according to the study?
A. Chile.
B. The Gambia.
C. Australia.
D. The United States.
30. Why are beaches important to wildlife?
A. They can provide habitats for species.
B. They can block out waves and storms.
C. They can be popular tourist attractions.
D. They can stop erosion from happening.
31. What is the author's purpose in writing this text?
A. To introduce beaches.
B. To make a comparison.
C. To protect environment.
D. To explain a study.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。

文章介绍了到2100年将会有一半的海滩消失，提醒人们保护环境。

【28题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段中“The main causes are rising sea-level and erosion （侵蚀）from storms, the study says, which warned of the near-disappearance of almost half of the world's sandy beaches by the end of the century. ”（研究报告说，主要原因是海平面上升和风暴侵蚀，该研究警告说，到本世纪末，世界上近一半的沙滩将消失。

）可知，沙滩消失的主要原因是海平面上升和风暴的侵蚀，故选D。

【29题详解】
细节理解题。

根据最后一段中“They found that West Africa will see some of the worst losses, where more than 60% of sandy coastline may be lost in countries such as The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. ”（他们发现，西非将出现一些损失最严重的地区，冈比亚和几内亚比绍等国可能会损失60%以上的沙质海岸线。

）可知，Gambia和Guinea-Bissau等国家60%以上的海岸线可能会消失，故选B。

【30题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中“Sandy beaches are important habitats supporting a wide range of species. ”可知，沙滩是各种各样的物种提供栖息地，因此很重要，故选A。

【31题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第一段“Half of the world's beaches could disappear by 2100”可知，到2100年，世界上一半的海滩可能会消失；在第二段中“Sandy beaches are important habitats supporting a wide range of species. ”（沙滩是一个重要的栖息地，支持各种各样的物种）介绍了海滩的重要性，因此可以推断出作者写本文的主要目的是引起人们的注意，共同保护环境，故选C。

D
When he was two years old, Ben stopped seeing out of his left eye. His mother took him to the doctor and soon discovered he had cancer in both eyes. After possible treatments failed, doctors removed both his eyes. For Ben, vision was gone forever.
But by the time he was seven years old, he had developed a technique for feeling the world around him: he clicked with his mouth and listened for the returning echoes. This method enabled
Ben to determine the locations of open doorways, people, parked cars, garbage cans, and so on. He was echolocating: bouncing his sound waves off objects in the environment and catching the reflections to build a mental model of his surroundings.
Echolocation may sound like an improbable feat for a human, but thousands of blind people have perfected this skill, just like Ben did. The event has been written about since at least the 1940s, when the word ''echolocation" was first invented in a science article titled “Echolocation by Blind Me n , Bats, and Radar.”
How could blindness give rise to the amazing ability to understand the surroundings with one's ears? The answer lies in a gift on the brain; huge adaptability.
Mother Nature filled our brains with flexibility to adapt to circumstances. Just as sharp teeth and fast legs are useful for survival, so is the brain's ability to reset, which allows for learning, memory, and die ability to develop new skills.
In Ben's case, his brain's flexible wiring repurposed his visual cortex for processing sound. As a result, Ben had more neurons available to deal with listening information, and this increased processing power allowed Ben to interpret soundwaves in shocking detail. Ben's super-hearing proves a more general rule: the more brain area a particular sense has, the better it performs.
32. How did Ben “see” after he had his eyes removed?
A. By using a walking stick.
B. By asking others for help.
C. By inventing a new system.
D. By echolocating surroundings.
33. What does the underlined word “feat” in Paragraph 3 probabl y mean?
A. Skill.
B. Task.
C. Sense.
D. Invention.
34. What can we learn from Ben's case?
A. He laughs best who laughs last.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. God shuts one door but he opens another.
D. Man becomes learned by asking questions.
35. In which column of a magazine can we read this passage?
A. Culture Shock.
B. Human Biology.
C. Scientific Technology.
D. Environmental Protection.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。

文章讲述了Ben两岁时摘除了双眼，结果他在七岁时发展出了回声定位的技能。

大自然让我们的大脑充满了适应环境的灵活性，Ben的超级听力证明了一个更普遍的规律：一种特殊感官在大脑中占据的区域越多，它的表现就越好。

【32题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中“But by the time he was seven years old, he had developed a technique for feeling the world around him: he clicked with his mouth and listened for the returning echoes.(但在他七岁的时候，他已经发展出了一种感受周围世界的技术：他用嘴发出咔哒咔哒的声音，听着声音的回音)”可知，Ben的眼睛被摘除后，他通过回声定位周围环境。

故选D。

【33题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据画线词后文“but thousands of blind people have perfected this skill, just like Ben did”可知，回声定位对人类来说可能听起来是一项不太可能的技能，但成千上万的盲人已经完善了这项技能，就像Ben一样。

由此推知，画线词意思是“技能”。

A. Skill.技能；
B. Task.任务；
C. Sense.感觉；
D. Invention.发明。

故选A。

【34题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第一段的“For Ben, vision was gone forever”（对于Ben来说视觉永远失去了）和最后一段中“In Ben's case, his brain's flexible wiring repurposed his visual cortex for processing sound. As a result, Ben had more neurons available to deal with listening information, and this increased processing power allowed Ben to interpret soundwaves in shocking detail.(在Ben的例子中，他大脑的灵活线路改变了他的视觉皮层处理声音的功能。

结果，Ben有了更多的神经元可用来处理听到的信息，这种增强的处理能力使Ben能够以惊人的细节解释声波)”可知，Ben虽然失去了视力，但发展出了回声定位的技能，所以他的故事告诉我们“天无绝人之路”的道理。

故选C。

【35题详解】
推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段“Mother Nature filled our brains with flexibility to adapt to circumstances. Just as sharp teeth and fast legs are useful for survival, so is the brain's ability to reset, which allows for learning, memory, and die ability to develop new skills. (大自然让我们的大脑充满了适应环境的灵活性。

就像锋利的牙齿和快速的腿有助于生存一样，大脑的重置能力也是如此，它允许学习、记忆和死亡发展新技能的能力)”结合文章讲述了Ben两岁时摘除了双
眼，结果他在七岁时发展出了回声定位的技能。

大自然让我们的大脑充满了适应环境的灵活性，Ben的超级听力证明了一个更普遍的规律：一种特殊感官在大脑中占据的区域越多，它的表现就越好。

可推知，文章可能选自“人类生物学”专栏。

故选B。
