6.Koala bears as pets might be appealing to many of us.However,there are quite a few points to consider even before thinking of adopting one.
Koala bears are one of the most lovely Australian animals.In certain cases where the koala has been raised by hand,they have turned out to be quite affectionate pets.These people tied a piece of fur to a pillow and placed it beside a joey (a baby kola) as a substitute (替代物) for the mother koala.This trick seemed to work well with the baby koala.However,it is a known fact that human handling causes stress to koalas.In my personal opinion,this aspect clouds the fact that koala bears can be tamed (馴服).
In Australia the koala is a priority animal as far as conservation status assessment is concerned.It was hunted to near extinction (滅絕) for its fur.In fact the koala had been wiped out from South Australia in the 1920s.However,rehabilitation efforts have brought the animal back in the state.As for the Australia government,the koala is not a threatened animal,but the US government does list the koala as one.
Although they may live in 40to 60kinds of eucalyptus trees,they prefer only 10to 14specific kinds.Koalas sleep for most part of the day,which is about 16to 18hours,and for most of their waking hours all they do is eat.Koala bears eat the leaves of eucalyptus trees.A full-grown koala can eat almost 2to 3pounds of leaves in a day.Despite their slow movements and sweet look,koala bears can be visious when hungry.Other than this,there are the stress caused to koalas due to human handling and the fights that start in koalas.
Almost everyone finds koalas lovely in the zoo.However,as far as having koala bears as pets is concerned,there are legal issues to consider.Other than that,being able to provide for its diet and habitat is another point that needs some attention before any law legalizing their adoption as pets is passed.

分析 文章主要介紹了考拉熊的習性和現(xiàn)狀.考拉熊雖然可愛,但不適合被當作寵物來飼養(yǎng).因為捕獵,考拉曾經(jīng)將近滅絕,考拉對食物很挑剔,對考拉的保護需要加強.
解答 67---70 CAAB
67.答案C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段"However,there are quite a few points to consider even before thinking of adopting one."和最后一段的"as far as having koala bears as pets is concerned"可知,把考拉作為寵物來飼養(yǎng)有風險,需要三思而行.A樂觀的;B感激的;C謹慎的,小心的;D熱情的.故選C.
68.答案A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段的"It was hunted to near extinction (滅絕) for its fur."可知,人們捕獵考拉熊是為了得到它的皮毛,故選A.
69.答案A.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)第四段"Despite their slow movements and sweet look,koala bears can be vicious when hungry.Other than this,there are the stress caused to koalas due to human handling and the fights that start in koalas."可知,盡管考拉很可愛,但是它們饑餓的時候也會變得很兇殘,人類的捕獵給考拉帶來壓力,考拉之間的打斗也會使考拉性格發(fā)生變化.故選A激烈的,危險的.
70.答案B.推理判斷題.A項文中未提及;根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"Although they may live in 40 to 60 kinds of eucalyptus trees,they prefer only 10 to 14 specific kinds."可知,考拉對食物很挑剔,排除C;根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段"the koala is not a threatened animal,but the US government does list the koala as one"可知,美國把考拉列為瀕危動物,但沒有說是最瀕危的動物,排除D;美國把考拉列為瀕危動物,考拉對食物很講究,因此,考拉的現(xiàn)狀不容樂觀.故選B.
點評 新聞報道解題技巧:第一步"看標題信息",類似作文審題;而"揣摩記敘類型",則是指閱讀的審題目標要比作文單一.即通過對題意的揣摩,要能辨出該文的記敘對象,是人物新聞還是事件新聞,是消息還是通迅. 第二步"抓記敘要素",這是由文體特點決定的.因為新聞的內(nèi)容,無論哪種類型,一般都離不開人物、時間、地點和事情的起因、發(fā)展、結(jié)果這六個要素. 第三步"理行文線索",即領(lǐng)悟文章的脈絡(luò)、順序,目的是理清作者的行文思路,借此可準確地劃分全文的段落層次.針對考綱當中C層級的分析綜合"分析語言特色,把握文章結(jié)構(gòu),概括中心意思"的考點.第四步"辨敘述方式",即辨析文本主要采用的敘述方式,消息一般都是采用"倒金字塔"式(即先說結(jié)果,再說重要事實,最后說次要內(nèi)容),這跟一般的記敘文不同.而通迅的敘述方式就比較靈活多變,有順敘、倒敘,中間或許還會有插敘、補敘.
