As a result, you can work out some of the definitions of w

14、ords with your prior knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this method did not work well for me. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter of your chosen childrens book and at the end of that chapter, highlight the words

15、 you do not know and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story.

19、nations wildlife. Bilbies are known for their long ears and large back legs. They usually sleep during the day, and are awake at night. They look a lot like rabbits and grow to about 2.5 kilograms.For the first time in 2018, bilbies are running wild in Southeastern Australia. The small animals were

20、once widespread across much of Australia, but were last observed in the wild in New South Wales state in 1912. Every year bilby populations continue to decrease. Wildlife experts are afraid that the bilby, a small marsupial, could eventually disappear forever, either because of land clearing or fire

21、s. Another reason is a threat from cats and foxes, which hunt down and kill bilbies.In northern New South Wales state, environmentalists are celebrating what they are calling a historic moment. Thirty bilbies from a captive breeding program have been released into a large predator-free enclosed area

22、 north of Sydney. Without the protection of a 32-kilometer fence, experts say the animals probably would not survive.Tim Allard heads the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, which is involved in the project. He says the release of these beloved animals is a big deal. “There are some remaining wild bilb

23、y populations, but they get predated upon heavily by feral cats and foxes. Bilbies only really survive behind fenced areas.” Allard said the point of doing this project is to return the countryside to what it used to be before Europeans arrived. “So in the not-too-distant future, you will be able to

24、 go inside the fenced areas and it will be like stepping back before Europeans turned up,” he said.1、What is the main idea of paragraph 1?AThe shape of the bilby.BThe habit of the bilby.CThe weight of the bilby.DThe characteristics of the bilby.2、The followings are the reasons for Bilbies disappeara
