四、阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
A
The "Happy" Animal in Danger
Quokkas (短尾矮袋鼠) are small Australian animals that look happy. They are friendly and not afraid of humans. People call them the "world's happiest animal". On Rottnest Island, tourists love taking selfies(自拍) with them. But in the wild, quokkas are in danger. They are losing their homes and other animals hunt them. To protect quokkas, visitors must not feed or touch them. Those who break this rule may pay 7,000.

Help for Cats in Canals
Amsterdam (阿姆斯特丹) is putting small wooden stairs(木梯) along its canals (运河) to help cats. This year, 19 cats died in the water. When cats fall into canals, their wet fur(皮毛) becomes heavy. Though they can swim, they get tired quickly. The new stairs will help cats and other small animals climb out if they fall in.

Meet Root, a turtle who lives in a museum in Canada. Root is missing one foot. When he walked, his shell(壳) touched the ground all the time. This was not good for him. People at the museum wanted to help Root. They used lego blocks(积木块) to make a small car. They fixed it to his body with a belt. Now Root can move around easily. His shell is safe.

解析
【分析】
1. 第51题:先通读三篇新闻内容,第一篇介绍濒危的短尾矮袋鼠,第二篇讲阿姆斯特丹为运河里的猫设置木梯,第三篇讲用乐高积木帮助残疾乌龟,三篇均围绕动物展开,因此判断属于报纸的动物板块。
2. 第52题:定位原文第一段,找到“People call them the 'world's happiest animal'”的前因:短尾矮袋鼠看起来开心,且友好不怕人类,对比选项即可得出正确答案。
3. 第53题:分析第二篇新闻结构,先提出设置木梯的举措,接着说明今年有19只猫在运河溺亡、猫落水后的困境,这些都是设置木梯的原因,因此核心是解释建梯子的缘由。
4. 第54题:第三篇新闻的核心是博物馆用乐高积木为残疾乌龟制作了类似轮椅的装置,帮助它移动,标题需突出“乐高”和“帮助乌龟”这两个关键信息,对比选项选出最贴合的标题。
5. 第55题:总结三篇新闻的主题:第一篇是保护濒危短尾矮袋鼠,第二篇是帮助运河里的猫,第三篇是帮助残疾乌龟,三者都围绕对动物的关怀与帮助展开,据此确定答案。
【解析】
51. 三篇新闻分别围绕短尾矮袋鼠、运河里的猫、残疾乌龟展开,均属于动物相关内容,因此可在ANIMALS板块读到,选C。
52. 根据原文第一段“Quokkas... look happy. They are friendly and not afraid of humans. People call them the 'world's happiest animal'”可知,短尾矮袋鼠被称为“世界最开心动物”是因为它们看起来开心且友好,选D。
53. 第二篇新闻先提到阿姆斯特丹为运河设置木梯,随后说明猫落水后溺亡的情况及落水后的困境,目的是解释设置木梯的原因,因此主要内容是城市建梯子的缘由,选A。
54. 第三篇新闻核心是用乐高积木为缺脚乌龟制作移动装置,“Lego Wheelchair for Turtle”既点明了关键工具“乐高”,又突出了帮助乌龟的内容,是最合适的标题,选B。
