However, koalas only like to eat a small percentage of the Eucalyptus trees found aroundAustralia. Koalas have hard black noses, with sharp claws and a thick furry coat and can grow to a weight of about 10kg. Most of their time is spent asleep in the trees, which is the best place to see a koala.

Hes a wellknown animal rights activist, the secretary at People for Animals (PFA). But nothing explains Mahendra better than his love for animals. It was this love that led him to establish Indias first shelter home for dogs living with disabilities. It all started in 1998 when, while taking a midnight walk, Mahendra came across a very weak dog on the street, whose bones were seen under its skin. Mahendra decided to feed it and for the next couple of days it became the centre of his life, until the night when he found it dead. Since then, Mahendra started providing treatment to all wounded and sick dogs he came across. After some time, somebody told Mahendra about PFA, Indias largest animal welfare organization, chaired by Mrs Maneka Gandhi. Mahendra contacted her and, impressed by the work he was doing, Mrs Gandhi asked him to start a PFA chapter in Ahmedabad. Thus, in 2014, he started the shelter. It took a long time for Mahendra to find land where the shelter could be set up. Finally, Ramesh Bhai Patel, a farmer from a village named Jundal, agreed to give his land for nothing. Along with a team of four doctors and many volunteers, the shelter now has twentyfive dogs that were unable to walk at all when they were brought in. Today, theyre slowly healing. Dogs that have healed with proper treatment are sent back to where they came from if the environment there is safe. However, the shelter will be home to the blind dogs for all their lives, says Mahendra. The shelter runs on the money ing from Mahendras own pocket. There have been some financial crunches now and then but Mahendra is determined that no matter what challenges e their way, theyll fight through.1.From Paragraph 1, what can we know about Mahendra?A.His affection for animals.B.His love for senior people.C.His care for disabled people.D.His devotion to protecting his children.2.Mahendra decided to do something for animals because of _.A.the death of a homeless sick dogB.his meeting with a sick dog one nightC.the encouragement of Mrs GandhiD.his contact with the organization PFA3.In his effort to build the shelter, Mahendra _.A.spent much money hiring a landB.received little support from othersC.got a free land from a farmerD.was financially supported by the government4.What does the underlined word “crunches” in the last paragraph mean?A.Aids.B.Markets.C.Services.D.Difficulties.参考答案： 1.A; 2.A; 3.C; 4.D解析： 1.细节题。根据第1段“But nothing explains Mahendra better than his love for animals. It was this love that led him to establish Indias first shelter home for dogs living with disabilities”可知,Mahendra热爱动物。2.推断题。根据第2段可知,一只流浪狗的死亡让Mahendra决定为动物做些事情。3.细节题。根据第3段“Finally, Ramesh Bhai Patel, a farmer from a village named Jundal, agreed to give his land for nothing”可知,Mahendra在找地方给狗建庇护所时得到了一块免费的地。4.词义推测题。根据后文“.but Mahendra is determined that no matter what challenges e their way, theyll fight through”可知,他们时常碰到经济困难。D(2017山西八校第一次联考)Ive been really lucky this year.Not only did I have the opportunity to live in France, but I was able to see some other countries with my girlfriend.Now she is studying in Essen, a large city in Western Germany.I recently went to stay with herit was my first visit to Germany!
