As wildfires continued to sweep across Australia, the loss of life in the area was reaching astonishing numbers. Ecologists (生态学家) at the University of Sydney said that nearly half a billion animals and plants had been wiped out since the fires began several months before. Images and videos from the area showed kangaroos trying to escape from burning forests and charred (烧焦的) bodies of koalas lying on the ground.

Koalas, which had been already under threat because of significant habitat loss, were hit particularly hard compared with other animals. Ecologists said nearly 8,000 koalas—about one-third of the population in their primary habitat-were believed to have died from the big fires. Professor Dieter Hochuli from the University of Sydney said it wasn’t just the well- known species, such as kangaroos, koalas and emus(鸸鹋), that were in danger. Insects also suffered losses. Additionally, many rare plant species might have disappeared completely.

While animal hospitals were taking in as many animals as possible to treat burns and nursed them back to health, services had overall struggled to keep up with the amount of care needed. And the animals that had survived would have trouble finding food and shelters among the ongoing flames, so they were still in a dangerous situation.

“We’re getting a lot of lessons out of this and it’s just showing how unprepared we are,” Dr. Sussan Ley said. “Now Australia is burning and national parks and our native animals are being destroyed. People have lost homes. People have died. Firefighters have been killed defending communities, most recently last night. There’s no protocols (拟定草案) in place even wildlife carers dont’ have protocols for when they can go in after fire. It’s our national government that is failing us.”

1.What’s the purpose of the second paragraph?

A.To explain why there were so many rare animals in Australia.

B.To show the terrible effect Australian wildfires had on species.

C.To further confirm Professor Dieter Hochuli’s’unique opinion.

D.To warn people to take good care of wild animals and plants.

2.Why were the animals still in danger after surviving the fire?

A.They failed to recover from serious burns.

B.They might be hunted by people for food.

C.They were short of food and shelters.

D.They were unable to get nursing services.

3.What is Dr.Sussan Ley’s attitude towards the national government’s deed?

A.Supportive. B.Unconcerned. C.Doubtful. D.Dissatisfied.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A.Many rare animal species might have disappeared.

B.Measures should be taken to prevent Australian wildfires.

C.Australian wildfires killed nearly half a billion animals and plants.

D.Ecologists have made great efforts to find the causes of wildfires.

When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.

“Storm chasing (追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.

Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm seasons.

Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”

However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth.”

1.For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to ____.

A.get quickly into their cars for safety

B.wait patiently for the storm to develop

C.head straight for the center of the storm

D.collect information about a coming storm

2.Beginners of storm chasing are advised ____.

A.to do it in an organized way B.to spend much more time on it

C.not to get too close to a storm D.not to drive in a heavy rain

3.By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that ___.

A.storm chasing costs a lot of money B.efforts in storm chasing are well paid

C.storm chasing is worth hours of waiting D.a storm presents the greatest show on Earth

4.What can we learn from the text?

A.Storm chasing is only fit for young people.

B.Some storm chasers were killed during the storms.

C.Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.

D.Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment.

For many years, Bruce Bexler dreamed of going where no human had gone before. He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare species.

That might sound like an impossible dream, but Bexler turned it into a reality.

In December 2015, he and a team of Australian scientists explored an isolated rainforest on the island of New Guinea. They were the first people to enter the region. “As time was limited, we were dropped in by helicopter. Once we were on the ground, there were no trails anywhere; it was really hard to get around,” Bexler says.

Within minutes of landing, the team spotted a black chicken-like bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck. The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeater — the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years.

The honeyeater wasn’t the only surprise for the scientists. They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species — 13 birds of paradise, 20 frogs, four butterflies, and five palms. “We were like kids in a candy store,” Bexler recalls. “Everywhere we looked, we saw amazing things we had never seen before.”

The newfound species didn’t shy away from the scientists. Two long-nosed echidnas — primitive egg-laying mammals — let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them.

Bexler thinks the animals weren’t frightened because they had never seen humans before. “In almost all parts of New Guinea, animals are hunted for food, and because of this, they are very cautious of people,” he explains. “This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviors of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people.”

Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia. Bexler and his team did not have enough time to study the area completely. They hope to return to record more undiscovered species. “We just scratched the surface,” Bexler says. “Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.”

1.Which word best describes Bruce Bexler?

A.Modest. B.Adventurous.

C.Optimistic. D.Confident.

2.What does Bruce Bexler mean in Paragraph 5 when he says the scientists “were like kids in a candy store”?

A.They didn’t have enough food and were hungry.

B.They were very excited about what they saw.

C.They were behaving like naughty children.

D.They knew that if they kept searching, they’d find sugar.

3.Why did some of the animals allow the scientists to pick them up?

A.The scientists seemed to be very friendly.

B.The scientists were good at handling animals.

C.The animals had been well-trained by the local people.

D.The animals had no experience or fear of people.

4.What can we conclude about the area Bruce Bexler explored?

A.The best way to explore the area is by helicopter.

B.The area has not been visited by scientists for many years.

C.The area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science.

D.The locals are unwilling to allow the scientists to enter the deep woods.

A very dangerous situation happened in California last week. More than 12 wildfires broke out in the state. Most of them began on October 8, in Northern California. They grew rapidly. The fires were made bigger by winds of up to 50 miles per hour and dry air in the area.

At least 20 people have been killed, the state government said. About 200 have been injured. At least 3,500 homes and businesses have been destroyed. About 50,000 people have been required to escape.

It was destroyed soon after he left.

The fires burned through parts of eight counties(郡，县). These include Sonoma and Napa. The areas are important to California’s economy(经济). They are home to many of the state’s vineyards(葡萄园) and wineries(酿酒厂). In 2016, California’s wineries made more than $57 billion.
