試題詳情
Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison has expressed regret over his handling of the bushfire crisis damaging the country.The PM has faced mounting criticism（批評(píng)）over his government's response to the bushfires and its climate policy.
Since September，bushfires have killed at least 28 people and destroyed thousands of homes.Mr Morrison's government has been accused of not doing enough to address climate change，which experts say could increase the intensity，frequency and scale of bushfires.
But in the interview，the PM defended his government's approach，which he said took into account the effect of climate change on the bushfires.
Each year there is a fire season during the Australian summer，with hot，dry weather making it easy for blazes（火焰）to start and spread.Natural causes are to blame most of the time，like lightning strikes in drought-affected forests.Humans can also be to blame.NSW police have charged at least 24 people with deliberately starting bushfires，and have taken legal action against 183 people for fire-related offenses since November，according to a police statement.
Bushfire conditions eased on Saturday，giving firefighters a temporary short break in areas where blazes are still raging.But authorities have warned that the huge fires，spurred by high temperatures，wind and a three-year drought，will persist until there is substantial rainfall.
About half a billion animals have been affected by the fires across NSW，with millions likely dead.The figures for NSW include birds，reptiles，and mammals，except bats.It also excludes insects and frogs，so the real sum is almost certain to be higher，the ecologists said.Almost a third of koalas in NSW may have been killed in the fires，and a third of their habitat has been destroyed，said Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley.

1．British children's writer Roald Dahl ate chocolates and sweets "pretty much every mealtime"，remembers daughter Ophelia Dahl．
After dinner，whether dining alone or entertaining guests，Dahl would pass around a little red plastic box full of Mars Bars，Milky Ways，Maltesers，Kit Kats and much more．
He knew the history of all the sweets and could tell you exactly when they were invented． =1937 was a big year when Kit Kats （his favorite），Rolos，and Smarties （his dog，chopper's favorite） were invented．He wrote a history of chocolate，lecturing schoolchildren to commit such dates to memory，such as 1928 when "Cadbury's Fruit and Nut Bar popped up on the scene"，saying don't bother with the Kings and Queens of England．All of you should learn these dates instead．Perhaps the Headmistress will see from now on that it becomes part of the major teaching in this school．
According to Dahl，the Golden Years of Chocolate were 1930-1937．In 1930，Roald Dahl was 14 years old．He was a student at Repton，a famous boys' boarding school in England．It was a tough environment：Those in authority were more interested in controlling than educating the students．
Ironically，it was at this difficult period that chocolate became Dahl's passion．Near Repton was a Cadbury chocolate factory．Every so often，Cadbury would send each schoolboy a sampler box of new chocolates to taste and grade．They were using the students - "the greatest chocolate bar experts in the world" to test out their new inventions．
This was when Dahl's imagination took flight．He pictured fiactories with inventing rooms with pots of chocolate and fudge （軟糖）and "all sorts of other delicious fillings bubbling away on the stoves"．
"It was lovely dreaming those dreams…when I was looking for a plot for my second book for children，I remembered those little cardboard boxes and the newly-invented chocolates inside them，and I began to write a book called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory．"
For the record，Roald Dahl did not like chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream．He said， "I prefer my chocolate straight．"

2．Hannah Levine decided she wanted to give hugs to all of the children and families in need at local hospitals.
Because she couldn't give them hugs one by one，Levine，then a sixth-grader，decided she would use her talents （才能） to do the next best thing.She began to knit （編織） hats，scarves，and blankets for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford.Her creations also went to Bundle of Joy，a programme that provides newborn baby items for families in need，and to Knitting Pals by the Bay，a local organisation that provides hand-knitted caps to cancer patients.
"I love to knit，and I thought it would be a great idea to make all these handmade items for kids and adults who need them.It would be like a hug for them，" Levine explained.
Levine started the project about a year ago. "I think it's just really fun to do，and it keeps me busy，" said Levine，now 13.
Once she got started，Levine realised that her project could be much bigger than the goods she was able to produce with just her own hands.So she sent emails to her school and communities，asking for knitted donations （捐贈(zèng)物） to the project，she named "Hannah's Warm Hugs".She also posted advertisements at Starbucks and other locations in her area.The warm goods began to pour in.
"It was amazing；more strangers than people she knew started dropping donations at our door，" said Levine's mother，Laura Levine. "We ended up with this huge box of items she was donating."
The knitted items numbered in the hundreds.Levine made her first round of donations around Hanukkah （an eight-day Jewish holiday in November or December） and later received thank-you letters from the organisations.Levine is still knitting，and she said the project will continue.
"It has turned into a bigger thing than she had thought，" her mum said. "It made her feel pretty good；it made us feel pretty good."

3．LANZHOU-When an international olive oil competition announced its winners in Greece in late June，excitement spread across the village of Daoqi in Northwest China.
"The award-winning olive oil was made from our fruit，" said Ru Ciming，50，an olive planter from the village under the city of Longnan，Gansu province.The variety of olive trees in Ru's orchard（果園）was introduced from Spajye.ai.In the eyes of locals，the foreign trees have not only pulled the city，once among the least-developed regions in China，out of poverty，but they have also brought them international fame.
Olives originated in the Mediterranean（地中海地區(qū)）and their oil，often called liquid gold，is used widely in food，cosmetics and medicjye.aie.In the 1960s，the Albanian government gifted China more than 10，000 olive saplings（樹苗），which were then planted in many parts of the country on nationwide trials.Longnan began to plant olive trees in the early 1970s and experts concluded that the region was ideal for the resettlement of the olive trees due to its climate and soil condition.After years of experiments and promotion，it is now the largest olive cultivation（栽培）base in China.
In recent years，the local olive oil industry has continued to expand as Longnan has improved cooperation with Mediterranean countries that have a long history of olive planting，including Italy，Greece and Spain.The improved cooperation aims to introduce better varieties and initiate technical exchanges.
Pedro J.Rodriguez Sanchez，a Spanish olive seedling expert，was one of the early contributors to olive exchanges.He arrived in Longnan in 2009，when only half of the local olive tree seedlings had survived.His technical guidance helped raise the survival rate to over 90 percent.
Zhao Haiyun，an official in charge of promoting the olive industry in Longnan's Wudu District，said that many more European experts have arrived since Sanchez.They have visited orchards to offer guidance to farmers，and helped companies improve their processing and storage procedures.
They have helped the district，as well as the city of Longnan，to jump on the bandwagon of China's rising demand for high-quality olive oil，especially among well-off urban families，said Zhao.
（1）What can we learn from the third paragraph？

B．The Albanian government sold some olive saplings to China.
C．Longnan has a history of about 30 years of planting olive trees.

（2）Where did Pedro J.Rodriguez Sanchez come from？
A．Italy.
