Question

【题目】The city zoo bought a new kangaroo(袋鼠) from Australia. It was famous for jumping very high. A zoo keeper was worried that the kangaroo would run away. He built special walls around it. But the next morning, people found that the animal was playing around outside. So the zoo keeper made the height of the walls 5 metres. But the kangaroo got out again the following day. The zoo keeper felt very angry, so he made the walls as high as 10 metres, but the kangaroo still got out.

“How high do you think he’ll keep on building the walls?” a giraffe asked the kangaroo. “I don’t know,” said the kangaroo. “Maybe they’ll reach 300 metres. But it isn’t important to me. I can still go out of the zoo if the zoo keeper doesn’t remember to close the door.”

【解析】这篇短文主要讲述动物园里买来了一只袋鼠，动物园饲养员很担心它会跳出墙外，就建造了一座特殊的墙。第二天，他们发现袋鼠在外面，然后饲养员一连几次把墙加高，但始终袋鼠都在外面。当一只长颈鹿问袋鼠，你认为他们会把墙加多高，袋鼠说：“不知道，这要看他是否记得锁门。”

【1】根据第一段第二句It was famous for jumping very high.可知，这只袋鼠擅长跳跃。故选：B。

【2】根据第一段第四行So the zoo keeper made the height of the walls 5 metres.可知，第二次墙被增高到5米。故选：B。

【3】根据短文最后一句 I can still go out of the zoo if the zoo keeper doesn’t remember to close the door.”可知，袋鼠并不是跳出墙的，而是动物园管理员不记得关门。所以可以推出管理员“粗心”。故选：D。
