五、阅读理解(20 分)
A
The koala
Appearance： The koala with thick hair looks cute but it has very sharp teeth and claws(爪子). The male koala is larger than the female one.
Size： 70～90 cm
Weight： 5～14 kg
Food： The koala eats eucalyptus leaves(桉树叶). Each koala eats about 500 grams of leaves per day.
Habit： The koala sleeps for up to 16～18 hours. It prefers to move around in the evening.
Baby fact： A healthy female koala can have one child each year. A baby koala is very small when it is born—only a quarter of an inch. It has no hair and it can't see either. It lives in its mother's pouch(育儿袋) for half a year. During this time, it only drinks its mother's milk.
Danger： The number of koalas in Australia is getting smaller every year, mainly because of people. People cut down a lot of trees, so many koalas have no places to live in and they don't have enough leaves to eat. There are fewer than 100,000 koalas in the world. Some scientists say if people don't protect them, we won't have any koalas within 30 years.

答案： 【解析】：本题是一道阅读理解题，主要考查了学生对英文文本的细节理解能力。题目给出了关于考拉的一些基本信息，包括外貌、大小、体重、食物、习性、幼崽情况以及面临的危险。接下来，题目提出了三个问题，需要我们根据给出的文本内容，找出正确的答案。
对于第一个问题，我们需要找到描述考拉活动时间的句子，判断考拉在一天中的哪个时间段活动。
对于第二个问题，我们需要找到描述考拉幼崽出生时情况的句子，根据这个描述，判断哪个选项是正确的。
对于第三个问题，我们需要找到描述考拉幼崽生活习性的句子，特别是它依赖什么生存，以此判断幼崽没有哪种东西就不能生存。
【答案】：1. B
在文本中提到“The koala sleeps for up to 16～18 hours. It prefers to move around in the evening.”，意思是考拉一天能睡16到18个小时，而且它们更喜欢在晚上活动。所以，考拉经常在一天中的晚上活动，选项B“在晚上”是正确的。
2. B
文本中提到“A baby koala is very small when it is born—only a quarter of an inch.”，意思是考拉幼崽出生时非常小，只有四分之一英寸。所以，如果有人看到一只新出生的考拉，他会发现它真的很小，选项B“它真的很小”是正确的。
3. C
文本中提到“It lives in its mother's pouch(育儿袋) for half a year. During this time, it only drinks its mother's milk.”，意思是考拉幼崽会在母亲的育儿袋里生活半年，这期间它只喝母亲的奶。所以，考拉幼崽没有奶就不能生存，选项C“奶”是正确的。
