①)

lo根据第四段中uKoalas,unlikekangaroos,birdsorsnakes,donotfleefromfiresbut

insteadclimbtreestothetop,wheretheycancurlthemselvesintoaballforprotectionandwait

forthedangertopass.（与袋鼠、鸟和蛇不同，考拉不会躲避火灾，而是会爬到树顶，在树顶

它们会蜷缩成一团，等待危险过去。）”可知，考拉躲避火灾方法是：爬到树上，卷曲身体

成球保护自己。故选C项。

2o根据倒数第二段“Whilekoalashavetogetusedtoexistingalongsidewildfires,the

animalsarefacingnewdangernotjustfromclimatechangebutalsofromhumanactivities,which

hasdisturbedlocalpopulations,weakeningtheirabilitytosurvivefires.（虽然考拉必须适应与野

火共存，但它们正面临新的危险，不仅来自气候变化，还来自人类活动，这扰乱了当地种群

数量，削弱了它们在火灾中生存的能力。）”可知，除了森林大火，更多的人类活动也威胁

着考拉的生存。故选A项。

3o根据最后一段"Wehavetheseuniqueanimalsnotfoundanywhereelseonthisplanet,and

we'rekillingthem."Flanagansaid.''Thisisabigwake-upcall."（"我们有这些在地球上其他

地方都找不到的独特动物，我们正在杀死它们。"Flanagan说，“这是一个警钟。”）可知，

应该采取更多措施保护考拉。故
