“They are terrified,” said Cheyne Flanagan, clinical directr f the Kala Hspital in Prt Macquarie, the nly hspital f its kind in the wrld.

But during very serius fires, such as thse that have burned in recent weeks, the animals, cnservatinists said, are far less likely t survive. Even if the fire itself des nt reach the tp f the tree, the animal may verheat and fall t the grund, where they can be burned t death.
The difficulty f the kala—a natinal symbl f Australia—has raised questins amng cnservatinists and scientists abut what it will take t preserve bidiversity in a cuntry where there are mre serius fires, extreme heat and lack f water.
While kalas have t get used t existing alngside wildfires, the animals are facing new danger nt just frm climate change but als frm human activities, which has disturbed the lcal ppulatin, weakening their ability t survive fires.

2. A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 While kalas have t get used t existing alngside wildfires, the animals are facing new danger nt just frm climate change but als frm human activities, which has disturbed the lcal ppulatin, weakening their ability t survive fires.可知，除了森林大火，人类活动也威胁着考拉的生存。故选A项。

长难句是高考阅读的考查点之一，正确理解长难句关系到细节理解的准确性。考生可从以下两个角度来理解长难句。第一，语法角度。分析句子结构，划分出主句和从句分别是什么，以及哪些是修饰成分。可先将修饰成分去掉，将句子简化到五种基本句型，这样句子结构能更清晰地呈现出来。如本题对应的原文倒数第二段，整段只有一个长句，句中包含While引导的让步状语从句，the animals are facing new danger nt just frm climate change but als frm human activities为主句，其中包含nt just ... but als...连接的并列结构，后跟一个which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰new danger; weakening their ability t survive fires为现在分词短语作状语，其逻辑主语为which指代的先行词new danger。分析完句子结构就可以得出句意：虽然考拉必须适应与山火共存，但它们正面临新的危险，不仅来自气候变化，还来自人类活动，新的危险扰乱了当地种群数量，削弱了它们在火灾中生存的能力。由此可知，人类活动也威胁着考拉的生存，答案为A项。第二，词汇角度。影响长难句理解的另一个因素就是词汇。要注意一词多义、熟词生义等现象，做到准确理解词汇在语境中的含义。
