四、阅读理解。
Koalas are often called koala bears, but they are not bears. They have small eyes, a big nose and round ears. And they have no tails. They can run as fast as a rabbit. They can also climb trees very well.
Koalas live in eucalyptus trees(桉树) and feed on the tree leaves. They usually sleep for about 20 hours a day. The word "koala" means "no drink" because they don't drink water very often. They get all the water they need from the yummy leaves they eat.
A mother koala usually has one baby at a time. When the baby is born, it is only 2 cm long. It has no hair, no ears, and can't see anything. It lives in its mum's pouch(育儿袋), and stays there for about 6 months. That's when it starts to see and grows ears and hair. After 8 to 9 months, it's too big to get into the pouch, so it spends all its time on its mother's back. At about 12 months, it leaves its mum to build its home. Usually, a koala can live for 16 years.
Now koalas are in great danger. Their number is dropping every year. A group called Bangalow Koalas started to help save them years ago. They've planted over 336,000 eucalyptus trees, and they want to plant more in the future. A worker of the group said, "We love the cute animals. We'll do everything to save them." In fact, it's everyone's duty to save them.

答案： 1. D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They can also climb trees very well.”可知，考拉擅长攀爬。2. C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“After 8 to 9 months, it's too big to get into the pouch, so it spends all its time on its mother's back. At about 12 months, it leaves its mum to build its home.”可知，8到9个月后，考拉宝宝会在妈妈的背上，12个月后，它离开妈妈去建自己的房子。由此可推知，10个月大的考拉是在妈妈的背上。3. A 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Now koalas are in great danger. Their number is dropping every year.”可知，现在考拉正处于极大的危险之中，它们的数量每年都在下降，所以画线部分的含义是“减少”。4. B 推理判断题。通读最后一段可知，最后一段主要讲述考拉正处于极大的危险之中。由此可推知，接下来作者可能会介绍拯救考拉的一些方法。
