The koala is found in open eucalypt (桉树) forests in south-east Queensland. Even if it is called koala bear, this animal has nothing to do with the actual bear. Koalas have thick fur and large cars.Their broad, flat nose makes them look cute, similar to teddy bears. In fact koalas arent cute. They have sharp teeth and very sharp claws (爪)! Koalas are marsupials (有袋类). This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, similar to a kangaroo. The baby koala lives in its mothers pocket for the first six months of its life.The name “koala” comes from a native Australian word that means “no drink”. The koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus leaves they eat. Thats where they get their food too.Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves. The eucalyptus trees are where the koalas live, its also where they sleep. Koalas sleep about nineteen hours a day!Why do they sleep so much? Some people think its because theyre lazy. But koalas arent lazy. They sleep so much because there isnt much nutrition (营养) in eucalyptus leaves. Koalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energy. One way to do this is to move slowly and sleep a lot. After a day of sleeping they like to move around and eat just after sunset. They live alone most of the time. Koalas are very protective of their trees. If a koala sees another koala eating in its favorite tree, it might tell the other koala to leave by “barking” at it. Koalas do “talk” to each other.Besides barks, the males make a deep grunting (呼噜的) sound.The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds. If they get scared they may scream like a baby. The koala is also an excellent swimmer.They are able to cross rivers to escape from heavy flooding (泛滥).（1）Koalas mainly live in .A . SingaporeB . IndiaC . AustraliaD . New Zealand（2）According to the article, how are koalas and kangaroos alike?A . They both have thick fur.B . They both have sharp teeth.C . They both eat eucalyptus leaves.D . They both carry their young in a pocket.（3）The word “koala” comes from a word that means .A . no drinkB . moving slowlyC . large earsD . barking loudly（4）Why do koalas spend most of their time sleeping?A . To escape from natural enemies.B . They get tired from playing so much.C . Their food does not give them much energy.D . To protect themselves from the sun.（5）If an adult koala screams like a baby, it may get .A . worriedB . frightenedC . hungryD . sleepy（6）The koala can .A . run very fastB . jump very highC . wake most of the timeD . swim very well27. （8分）阅读理解The Smith family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country. Now the Smith children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many advantages to knowing more than one language.If you can speak more than one language, you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so youre more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a persons understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each others problems.Its clear that knowing more than one language is really good. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people dont try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.（1）The passage begins with the experience of the Smith family in order to_. A . discuss the need for teaching a new languageB . introduce the passages main characters to the readersC . describe the advantages of moving to another countryD . show the problems of speaking only one language（2）The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers” (Paragraph 4) means “people who know _.” A . their mother languageB . a new languageC . more than one languageD . body language（3）According to the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst? A . Not knowing another language.B . Forgetting ones mother language.C . Refusing to learn another language.D . Failing to communicate with others.（4）What is the passage mainly about? A . The advantages of learning other languages.B . The reasons why people come to America.C . The importance of learning EnglishD . How to learn another language28. （8分）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。The city Bank was broken into yesterday at 8 p.m. The police were asking two men, John Smith and his brother Joseph Smith.A policeman interviewed John SmithJohn Smith was asked, “What did you do last night?” He answered, “ I was with my brother, Joseph, all the time.

I kept down my phone for next 3 hours after I reached home. The phone was kept in another room and was only to be attended when an important call came inNo Phone Zone with FriendsThis was even tougher, and the only way out was to turn down the ringer completely.
