A

The koala

Appearance: The koala with thick hair looks cute but it has very sharp teeth and claws（爪子）． The male koala is larger than the female one．

Size: 70-90cm Weight: 5-14kg

Food: The koala eats eucalyptus leaves (桉树叶)． Each koala eats about 500 grams of leaves per day．

Habit: The koala sleeps for up to 16-18 hours． It prefers to move around in the evening．

Baby fact: A healthy female koala can have one child each year． A baby koala is very small when it is born—only a quarter of an inch． It has no hair and it can’t see either． It lives in its mother’s pouch (育儿袋) for half a year． During this time, it only drinks its mother’s milk．

Danger: The number of koalas in Australia is getting smaller every year, mainly because of people． People cut down a lot of trees, so many koalas have no places to live in and they don’t have enough leaves to eat． There are fewer than 100,000 koalas in the world． Some scientists say if people don’t protect them, we won’t have any koalas within 30 years．

At church, Mrs Thatcher talked to Mrs Harper and found out that Becky had not slept there last night． Where was she? Then Aunt Polly said Tom had not come home either． They asked if anybody had seen them on the boat． Nobody could remember．

“They must still be in the caves!” said somebody．

A large group of men went to the caves to search for the two children． They searched all day． They searched for three days, but they did not find Tom or Becky． Where could they be?

At the picnic, Tom and Becky went into the caves with the other children． They took their candles and walked down a small tunnel． Then Tom saw a small opening he had never seen before． He decided to explore． Becky came with him． They made some marks on the wall． This would help them find their way back． They found a large cave with a spring in it． There were a lot of bats hanging on the roof． The bats did not like the candlelight and attacked the children． Tom and Becky ran． They did not watch where they were going． They escaped from the bats and found a lake． They sat down to rest．

“We haven’t heard the other children for a long time,” said Becky．

“We’d better go back,” suggested Tom．

They tried to find a way back without going through the cave with bats． They were soon lost． They didn’t know how to get back． They began to shout． Nobody answered．

When my son, Justin, was 4, he found a caterpillar(毛毛虫) and put it in a jar． Each day he fed it fresh grass and leaves． In a few weeks, the caterpillar was fat and ready to go to sleep． One morning we found the caterpillar was in a cocoon(茧)．

Animals have the ability to make people understand them, especially(尤其) when they are in serious danger and hope to get help from man． And they often go together to help one another．

Together we followed the sheep back to where she was feeding on the farm． She rushed forward and kept on looking back to see if we were coming． She finally took us to an old well (井) , and we heard the sad voice of her young baby that had fallen into the well． As the well had no water and was only six feet deep, we took a ladder(梯子） and climbed down． After a few minutes, the baby sheep was saved． The mother sheep looked happy with the successful (成功的) result of the accident． She came to tell us her trouble and got help． How amazing!

Luckily, before all of them lost their lives, someone took some deer to Britain to improve the environment of the beautiful park which belonged to Duke of Bedford(贝德福特公爵)． He liked them so much that he took them from China to Britain． Milu deer liked the cool, wet weather in England and their number increased (增加)year by year． As a result, when in 1985,the government of China wanted to bring back the Milu deer, the Duke of Bedford was able to help． The first deer came back to China to the Nanhaizi Milu Park 20 kilometres south of Beijing and the centre in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province．

参考答案

1． D

【详解】句意：贝蒂决定再看一次京剧。

考查动词不定式用法。根据短语decide to do sth“决定做某事”可知，空处应填动词不定式作宾语，故选D。

2． A

【详解】句意：我记得上周借给他200元，但他忘记还钱给我。

考查非谓语。lending借出，动名词或现在分词；to lend借出，不定式；returning归还，动名词或现在分词；to return归还，不定式。根据“I remember．．．him 200 yuan last week”可知，第一空指记得借过钱给他，考查短语remember doing“记得做过”，故排除B和D；又根据“but he forgets．．．the money to me”可知，他忘记还钱给我，考查短语forget to do“忘记去做”。故选A。
