[课后作业] (限时30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A With bushfires continuing to swallow different parts of Australia，a local zoo in New South Wales—the state which is the easiest to catch fire—has hit the headlines with a heartwarming story. Right in the line of a bushfire，the keepers of Mogo Wildlife Park managed to protect all 200 animals from harm after they received evacuation orders，according to reports. Netizens were quick to react on social media and praised the bravery of the zoo keeper and staffs，as they stayed and managed to protect animals from uncontrolled fires and even sheltered some at their own house. The 40­year­old zoo keeper，Chad Staples，described the situation as the worst catastrophe，which felt like Armageddon (大决战) here.Luckily，his team had made a precise plan ahead of time by moving everything flammable from the area and the larger animals to safe places. What's remarkable is that as the smaller ones needed extra shelter，Staples decided to take them to his own house. “Right now in my house there are animals of all descriptions in all the different rooms.They are safe and protected...not a single animal lost，”he said. BBC News also mentioned that“there's a tiger to the back of the house”． Some media outlets highlighted the“heroic job”in their headlines.Online users also reacted with thumbs­up and were glad to see all the staff and animals coming through the horrific fire. Located in the southern coast of New South Wales，Mogo Wildlife Park houses Australia's largest collection of primates，also including different and unique animals such as zebras，giraffes，rhinos and red pandas. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了澳大利亚一位动物管理员为保护动物免受失控火灾的伤害所做的努力。 1．New South Wales hits the headlines because of ． A．its famous zoo B．its endangered animals C．the heartwarming event D．being easy to catch fire 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“With bushfires continuing to swallow different parts of Australia，a local zoo in New South Wales—the state which is the easiest to catch fire—has hit the headlines with a
