Some are dying in bushfires, or being shot by farmers. Others are scratching themselves to death because of a mite（螨虫）infection. Only 115 of one species - the northern hairy-nosed wombat - remain alive in the wild.Wombats are endemic to Australia. They are found nowhere else. A wombat looks like an overgrown, stocky guinea pig, covered with thick grey fur and with a wide, flat, broad forehead.Fully-grown adults are about a meter long and about half a meter tall. They weigh about 40kg.But while their looks are pretty straightforward, people throughout history have found it less easy to understand their behavior. The Aborigines(土著居民) seem to have mixed feelings about them, According to one story, the wombat once said he was more powerful than the sun. After a competition, however, the wombat lost, and so today hides from shame, deep down in a hole. But another Aboriginal story tells of how wise the wombat can be. He comforts the other animals in the forest, after their friend, a cockatoo, has died, explaining to them all about forest spirits.Wombats are strong diggers, with very powerful front legs and sharp claws, usually used to dig winding holes in the ground for their homes. Yet despite their strong appearance, these animals are struggling to survive.Many have been suffering a lot from a foreign mite, from foreign foxes, introduced for hunting by the early English settlers of Australia. Because of scratching, scars form over the wombats' eyes and ears, and infections occur, finally causing their death. Its population is so small that the group is becoming inbred(近亲繁殖的). Competition with cattle and sheep for grass to eat, drought, bushfires, as well as dingo and feral dog attacks have all whittled away wombat numbers.But fortunately, a group of committed volunteers and scientists, working with the local government, has now put up fences to protect the wombats from meat-eating animals, made holes for extra shelter, and is working with zoos to create developing programs. These conservationists are well aware they have little time left.6. Where can we find a wombat?A. Austria B .Australia . C. China D. America7. The underlined word “endemic” in Paragraph 2 probably means______.A. attractiveB. uniqueC. dangerousD. foolish8. According to the passage, wombats_____.A.look like big cats.B.are similar to foxes in size.C.give people a sense of weakness.D.are good at digging holes in the ground.9. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Wombats Discovering Their Home in Australia.B. Volunteers and Scientists Saving Wombats.C. Australia’s Wombats Struggling to Survive.D. Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat Remaining Alive.CToday, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a_residential_area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼) and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages. 10．Why do people move to live in cities or towns?A．Because they can live more comfortably there.B．Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.C．Because they mainly want to find work there.D．Because they are sure of having a better life there.11．The underlined phrase “a residential area” means an area________.A．where people can buy thingsB．which is suitable for living inC．where people can do businessD．which is near a city center12．In the United States, many people work in the center of a big city________.A．and live thereB．but live in the suburbs of the cityC．and live in another cityD．but live in rural areasDJohn and Bobby joined the same company together just after graduation from college the same year.
