文章内容回顾 |
关于考拉的，前面几段写了使考拉数量减少的原因，只有澳大利亚的某个地区才有考拉（有判断题），原因有森林失火，繁殖慢，人们交易等。之后讲了考拉性格很温和，很敏感，惹它生气了就不吃饭，而且生病了不表现出来，除非很重的病，所以很难判断是否得病（有判断题），重量是*标准。之后讲了措施，较后一段政府行动，目的是进行指导什么的，效果是zoos改变了一些措施（有题）。 |

英文原文阅读 |
Though often called the koala "bear," this cuddly animal is not a bear at all; it is a marsupial, or pouched mammal. After giving birth, a female koala carries her baby in her pouch for about six months. When the infant emerges, it rides on its mother''s back or clings to her belly, accompanying her everywhere until it is about a year old.
Koalas live in eastern Australia, where the eucalyptus trees they love are most plentiful. In fact, they rarely leave these trees, and their sharp claws and opposable digits easily keep them aloft. During the day they doze, tucked into forks or nooks in the trees, sleeping for up to 18 hours.
When not asleep a koala feeds on eucalyptus leaves, especially at night. Koalas do not drink much water and they get most of their moisture from these leaves. Each animal eats a tremendous amount for its size—about two and a half pounds (one kilogram) of leaves a day. Koalas even store snacks of leaves in pouches in their cheeks.
A special digestive system—a long gut—allows koalas to break down the tough eucalyptus leaves and remain unharmed by their poison. Koalas eat so many of these leaves that they take on a distinctive odor from their oil, reminiscent of cough drops.
These plump, fuzzy mammals were widely hunted during the 1920s and 1930s, and their populations plunged. Helped by reintroduction, they have reappeared over much of their former range, but their populations are smaller and scattered. Koalas need a lot of space—about a hundred trees per animal—a pressing problem as Australia''s woodlands continue to shrink. |
