31、y. We are no strangers to wildlife, so we avoided physical contact with the small gosling out of fear that it would keep us in its mind and be lost to its family forever. Hours passed, and night fell. The tiny little thing was wandering around our yard, unaware of what could happen.And then another

32、morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to drive the goose over to his parents, who kept ing back to our yard. He wouldnt go to them, though, and they wouldnt e close enough to collect him. My sister Joanna decided to call the little guy Peeper, because he would follow us around the y

He threw him up in the air, but thi

34、s time, Peeper just flew off. Everyone was very, very sad. We looked for him for days, calling his name, but he didnt e back. Twenty years passed, and Peeper became a fond memory for my family.Geese are very loyal, never forgetting their first home. Even so, it came as a total shock to me when, in 2

39、curl themselves into a ball for protection and wait for the danger to pass.（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 “While koalas have to get used to existing alongside wildfires, the animals are facing new danger not just from climate change bu

40、t also from human activities, which has disturbed local populations, weakening their ability to survive fires.（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“We have these unique animals not found anywhere else on this planet, and w

41、ere killing them, Flanagan said. This is a big wake-up call.(“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。故选B项。4。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述澳大利亚森林大火持续蔓延，严重影响了考拉的生存 条件，它们还面临着天气变化和人类活动的威胁，我们必须采取措施保护它们。故D项“救 救大火的受害者：澳大利亚的考拉”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。（E）1。根据画线词后文“our return and flew away, but their baby

43、lost to its family forever.（我们对野生动物 并不陌生，所以我们避免与小鹅进行身体接触，害怕它会把我们记在心里，永远失去它的家人）” 可知，作者的家人一开始避免与小鹅进行身体接触是因为他们不想让它把他们当作它的家人。故 选C。3。根据最后一段“People desire connection with the natural world. Through Peeper, I have learned so much about myself and about the nature of love.（人们渴望与自然世界建立联系。通过 Peeper,我对自己和爱的本质有

44、了更多的了解）”可推知，作者认为这种体验很有益。故选D。4。根据倒数第二段中“He did all of the same things Peeper used to and responded to the name Peeper. My old best friend returned, 20 years later.（他做 了和 Peeper 一样的事情，Peeper 这个名字也 能让他做出反应。20年后，我最好的老朋友回来了）”结合文章讲述了作者一家在2000年时，在 自家车道上发现了两只成年鹅和一只小鹅，成年鹅被作者他们吓跑了，只剩下小鹅，但是它不愿 意回到它的父母身边，于是给它取名Peeper。Peeper后来飞走了，20年后又回到了作者家里。 可知，A选项“我的鹅回家了”最符合文章标题。故选A。
