The koala is found in coastal regions of eastern and southern Australia, from near Adelaide to the southern part of Cape York Peninsula. Populations also extend for considerable distances inland in regions with enough moisture to support suitable woodlands. The koala is not found in Tasmania or Western Australia.

　　通過此段，考生可以大致了解考拉的分布主要在澳洲東部及南部沿海地區(qū)，從阿德萊德到約克角半島南部。而在塔斯馬尼亞及西澳地區(qū)則沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)考拉。

　　A baby koala is referred to as a joey and is hairless, blind, and earless. At birth the joey, only a quarter of an inch long, crawls into the downward-facing pouch on the mothers belly and attaches itself to one of the two teats.

　　這一段主要介紹考拉寶寶的主要情況，出生時候只有四分之一英寸長，生活在媽媽的育兒袋里。

　　The koala lives almost entirely on eucalypt leaves. This is likely to be an evolutionary adaptation that takes advantage of an otherwise unfilled ecological niche, since eucalypt leaves are low in protein, high in indigestible substances, and contain phenolic and terpene compounds that are toxic to most species. Like wombats and sloths, the koala has a very low metabolic rate for a mammal and rests motionless for about 16 to 18 hours a day, sleeping most of that time. 本段講到考拉的飲食幾乎完全依賴桉樹葉生存，并且考拉的新陳代謝非常慢，一天可以16-18個小時不動。

　　建議考生在搜索的時候選用英文，在平時學習背景知識的時候，不斷擴大對于相關這一主題的詞匯量。這樣在考試當中遇見相關背景的文章的時候不至于出現(xiàn)因生詞過多造成理解誤差的情況，同時也可以在考試當中節(jié)省閱讀時間，保證閱讀速度。
