THE AMAZING ANIMALS OF AUSTRALIA
Our topic today is “Creatures Unique to Australia”, with
questions answered by wildlife expert, Dr Jim Smith.
Australia has lots of unique animals, but which animal is a
symbol of the country?
[1]It has to be the kangaroo, as it has a wide distribution throughout
the country. It’s a tough animal that has to survive in a difficult
environment.Also, it cannot walk backwards, so it is always moving
目 录
英语·选择性必修第四册
forwards.This expresses the strength and resolve of the Australians as
individuals and as a nation.Baby kangaroos weigh only two grammes at
birth.They then find their way into their mother’s pouch — a kind of
pocket — to stay safe and warm.They sleep and drink milk in that
temporary, protected environment until they are about seven or eight
months old.After this phase, they go out to try their legs.After they learn
to jump, they gradually spend less time with their mother and learn to be
independent.Kangaroos may look cute, but encounters with them don’t
always end so well.Kangaroos can hit and kick very hard, so please
folks, if you see some kangaroos, remember they’re not for petting!

[1]这是一个复合句。句中as引导原因状语从句。
Koalas are cute, and we see so many pictures of people holding
them.But in many places in Australia, it is against the law to even
touch them.Can you clarify that?
[2]They are really quite cute, but the truth is, koalas are very
sensitive creatures who can easily panic because of even small changes in
their environment. They spend quite a lot of time eating, sleeping,
目 录
英语·选择性必修第四册
and hanging onto tree trunks, so interaction with humans can cause them a lot of stress.Because of this, the government began to make laws against touching koalas, in the interest of animal protection, as well as public safety.So, if you see one in the wild, you shouldn’t approach it to pick it up or even touch it.If you want to hold a koala, you have to go to certain licensed zoos where animal experts make sure that the koalas
selected for each session are in a good state for human contact and that
they are handled for only a limited time and on a limited frequency of
occasions.
[2]这是一个由but连接的并列句。在第二个分句中who引导定语
从句,修饰先行词creatures。

英语·选择性必修第四册
So, we’ve talked about some cute animals.What about animals
which aren’t so cute?
My favourite is a little creature called the Tasmanian devil.If you are
out camping in Tasmania and come across one, the experience might
scare you! Tasmanian devils hunt at night, so you won’t usually see
them, but you may hear their loud cries when they are fighting or
eating.The noise they make could wake the dead.Frightening! They are
about the size of small dogs and look like rather large black rats.They also
have a terrible smell! Their diet is mostly dead animals.Fortunately,
despite their name, they are generally not violent towards people.
目 录
英语·选择性必修第四册
Australia also has some animals that many people have never
heard of, for example, the duck-billed platypus.Is that some kind
of bird?
目 录
英语·选择性必修第四册
Not at all.While it may lay eggs in a nest like a bird, it’s really a
primitive mammal, with a unique biology.Its eggs hatch after about ten
days, and then the baby platypus nurses from its mother like all other
mammals.Its nose looks like a duck’s bill, and it has feet like a
duck’s so it can dive under the water, but it’s covered in hair.Do you
know what’s really strange about a platypus? The platypus doesn’t use
its senses of sight or smell to find food.It has a capacity to find food in the
water by using electrical sensors in its bill.There are only a small handful
of animals in the world that can do that!

Step 2|析写作手法
学语言
整个语篇语言风格轻松活泼,即便是在回答问题的描述中也采取
了互动性很强的语言结构或句式,不断调动读者的阅读兴趣,比如:
“Kangaroos can hit and kick very hard, so please folks, if you see
some kangaroos,remember they’re not for petting!” “So, if you
see one in the wild, you shouldn’t ...” “Frightening!” “Do you
know what’s really strange about a platypus?”等。这样的写作手法大
大增加了语篇的趣味性,也更好地起到了科普小品文的作用,能够更
好地激发读者的兴趣,更多地了解知识、亲近自然。

文章第一句中使用了with复合结构(with questions answered by
wildlife expert);在描述袋鼠时使用了定语从句(that has to survive in
a difficult environment),过去分词作定语(protected environment);
在描述考拉时使用了动词-ing形式复合结构作宾语(people holding
them);在描述塔斯马尼亚恶魔时使用了which引导的定语从句
(which aren’t so cute),过去分词短语作后置定语(called the
Tasmanian devil);在描述鸭嘴兽时使用了while引导的让步状语从句
(While it may lay eggs in a nest like a bird)等,这些高级句式和语法
的运用使得文章精彩纷呈。

本文是一篇问答式的专栏文章,以新媒体语篇形态呈现。
语篇以问题为线索,串联呈现了澳大利亚一些特有动物的有
趣内容,甚至还有一些“冷知识”,带给读者较为新颖的阅读视
角和体验。
本文的第一个问题是关于澳大利亚的象征——袋鼠。专家借此问
题向读者详细介绍袋鼠。除了一些特征和习性方面的介绍,专家还诙
谐地提醒袋鼠具有攻击性,需要小心。

本文的第二个问题引入了澳大利亚的另一标志性动物——考拉。
专家从考拉的“性格”特点入手,分析了考拉不能让人们随便触摸和
拥抱的原因。
本文的第三个问题谈到了不一定那么讨人喜欢的动物代表——塔
斯马尼亚恶魔。专家用风趣的语言告诉读者,这种外形欠佳的动物有
着“只闻其声”的特点,而且体味也很难闻。尽管它被称为“恶
魔”,但其实对人还算“温柔”。
本文的最后一个问题介绍了人们通常不太关注到的动物代
表——鸭嘴兽。专家介绍了这种动物的“跨界”特征和一些特别
的外貌特点。

澳大利亚神奇的动物
我们今天的话题是“澳大利亚特有的生物”,由野生动物专家吉
姆·史密斯博士回答问题。
澳大利亚拥有众多独一无二的动物,但哪种动物才是这个国家的
象征呢?
目 录
英语·选择性必修第四册
毫无疑问是袋鼠,因为这种动物广泛分布于全国。袋鼠是一种强
壮的动物,生存于恶劣的环境中。此外,它不会倒退行走,所以总是
勇往直前。这表达了澳大利亚人作为个体和民族的力量与决心。袋鼠
宝宝出生时只有两克重。然后,它们会钻进母亲的育儿袋——一种口
袋——以保持安全和温暖。大约七八个月大之前,它们一直待在那个
暂时受保护的环境里睡觉和吃奶。在这个阶段之后,它们会出去试试
腿力。学会跳跃之后,它们与母亲相处的时间就会逐步减少,学会独
立。袋鼠可能看起来十分可爱,但与它们邂逅的结局并不总是那么美
好。袋鼠的踢打相当有力,所以大家要小心,如果你们看到袋鼠,要
记住它们不是用来爱抚的!
目 录
英语·选择性必修第四册
考拉非常可爱,我们可以看到很多人抱着它们的照片。但是在澳大利亚的许多地方,即便碰一下它们都是违法的。你能说明一下这点吗?
考拉确实十分可爱,但事实是,考拉是非常敏感的动物,即便只是环境中的微小变化都会让它们惊慌失措。它们大部分时间都在吃东西、睡觉和挂在树干上,所以与人类互动会给它们带来极大的压力。因此,政府开始立法禁止触摸考拉,也是出于对保护动物和公共安全的考虑。所以,如果你在野外看到一只考拉,你不要靠近它去把它抱起来或即便是去触摸它。如果你想要抱一抱考拉,你必须去那些获得正式许可的动物园,在那里动物专家会确保为每场互动而选出的考拉状态良好,可以与人接触,而且只在有限的时间内,以有限的次数与人互动。

我们已经谈了一些可爱的动物,那么,不太可爱的动物呢?
我最喜欢的是一种被称为塔斯马尼亚恶魔的小动物。如果你在塔
斯马尼亚野外露营时遇到一只,那经历可能会吓到你!塔斯马尼亚恶
魔在夜间捕食,所以你通常不会看到它们,然而当它们打架或者吃东
西时,你会听到它们震耳的嚎叫声。它们发出的声音可以吵醒死人。
十分恐怖!它们个头跟小狗差不多,看起来像只大黑鼠。它们身上还
有一股难闻的气味!它们的食物主要是动物的尸体。幸运的是,尽管
它们名为“恶魔”,但是它们基本上对人类没有攻击性。
目 录
英语·选择性必修第四册
澳大利亚还有一些许多人从未听说过的动物,例如鸭嘴兽。那是
某种鸟吗?
完全不是。虽然鸭嘴兽可以像鸟一样在巢中产卵,但它实际上是
一种原始的哺乳动物,具有罕见的生物特性。它的蛋大约十天后孵化
出来,然后新生鸭嘴兽像其他所有哺乳动物一样由母亲哺乳。它的鼻
子看起来像鸭嘴,脚也跟鸭子的一样,所以它可以潜到水下,但它浑
身都是毛。你知道鸭嘴兽真正奇怪的地方是什么吗?鸭嘴兽并非用视
觉或嗅觉来觅食。它拥有一种能用嘴里的电传感器在水中找到食物的
能力。世界上只有很少的动物可以那样做!

(2025·广东高二下期中)During my summer job in Tokyo last
year, I discovered how easily body language can create
misunderstandings across cultures.After doing well in my interview, I
confidently entered the meeting room for my final presentation, eager to
share my carefully prepared sales strategy.

When the CEO asked about my approach, I sat back in my chair and
crossed my arms — a posture (姿势) I considered thoughtful and
professional in America.The atmosphere changed immediately.My
boss’s smile froze, and the CEO’s clear disapproval appeared.I later
learned that in Japan, crossed arms signal arrogance (傲慢) or
disagreement — completely contrary to the professional image I wanted to
convey.

Despite my perfect PowerPoint presentation, I couldn’t undo that
inappropriate behavior.While I didn’t recognise my cultural mistake at
the moment, I could easily feel the tension mounting as I continued
speaking.
My Japanese colleague Rina quietly demonstrated to me the right way
to behave during the Q & A session.She rested her hands on her lap and
leaned forward slightly to show engagement.I immediately mirrored her
posture.As I adapted my body language to Japanese ways, the manager
visibly relaxed.This experience taught me that true cultural fluency
extends far beyond language proficiency or technical expertise.

(2025·豫北名校高二下联考)Scientists in Australia have
successfully used AI to locate the endangered Plains-wanderer.Once
common in eastern Australia, the Plains-wanderer now faces a critical
situation, with only 250 to 1,000 individuals remaining in the wild, as
grasslands have been turned into farms and cities.There has been a striking
85% drop in their numbers over recent decades.
目 录
英语·选择性必修第四册
The Plains-wanderer is a small, ground-dwelling bird, standing
only about six inches (15 centimeters) tall.Unlike many other birds, it
is not good at flying and spends most of its time on the ground. When
threatened, it crouches to hide and prefers to run rather than fly.The bird
is highly selective about its habitat — there can’t be too much grass or
too little.This specific requirement has earned it the nickname
“Goldilocks of animals”.
目 录
英语·选择性必修第四册
Given the Plains-wanderer’s odd nature and the challenges of
visually spotting it, Zoos Victoria worked with scientists from
Queensland University of Technology to develop a unique approach to
locate the birds.Instead of relying on traditional methods, the team
decided to “listen” for the birds.Female Plains-wanderers produce a
distinctive “Ooom” call, which became the key to their
detection.Researchers placed 35 specialised recording devices, known as
song meters, across nine potential grassland habitats. These devices
collected tens of thousands of hours of audio (音频的) recordings, far
more than humans could analyse.
目 录
英语·选择性必修第四册
To manage the vast amount of data, the team turned to an AI system
trained to identify the calls of Plains-wanderers.The system successfully
detected the bird’s calls at two sites, a discovery later confirmed by
scientists.Chris Hartnett of Zoos Victoria described the find was like
“finding gold”, marking the first time in over 30 years that the Plains-
wanderer had been detected west of Melbourne.He emphasised that the
discovery is “huge” for conservation efforts.
目 录
英语·选择性必修第四册
This breakthrough provides critical information for protecting the Plains-wanderer and its habitat.The research team plans to cooperate with
landowners to ensure the preservation of the grasslands essential for the bird’s survival.Meanwhile, the use of song meters and AI continues, as scientists aim to locate more of these birds and secure their future in the wild.
