题目内容
【题目】 Fraser Island is in Queensland, Australia, about 200 kilometers north of Brisbane. It is about 120 kilometres long and 240 kilometers wide. It is a very important is land because it is completely made of sand, but there is a long beach along the east coast. Planes arrive and leave from here.
The sand makes unusual shapes. There are hills made of sand called sandblows. Nothing grows on them. They move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeast of the island, getting bigger and bigger. At other places on the island, such as Rainbow Gorge, The Cathedral and Red Canyon, the sandy rocks have different colors. Sometimes the rocks are so brown that they turn the sea brown, like coffee.
Surprisingly, the sandy island has a lot of different plants and animals. There are dark forests- eucalyptus woods, beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes. There are many kinds of birds, like owls and curlews. There are many animals there, too, such as crocodiles, flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes.
About 500,00 people visit the island every year to see the island's beauty and nature. People enjoy camping and hiking there. Unluckily, the visitors create problems. They damage (毁坏) plants and frighten (惊吓) animals. Their sun cream (防晒霜) makes the water dirty. So it is necessary to manage the visitors. For example, people may not use motor boats or go fishing in the lakes, and they need official papers to drive there.

文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了弗雷泽沙岛的地理位置、领域范围、这座沙岛的组成以及岛上特殊的动植物。作者还提到游客们对岛屿的破坏行为并提出应采取的措施。
【1】
细节理解题。根据“It is a very important is land because it is completely made of sand,”可知，它是一个非常重要的岛屿，因为它完全是由沙子构成的，故答案选A。
【2】
理解判断题。根据“There are hills made of sand called sandblows. Nothing grows on them. They move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeast of the island, getting bigger and bigger. At other places on the island, such as Rainbow Gorge, The Cathedral and Red Canyon, the sandy rocks have different colors. ”有一种由沙子构成的小山，叫做沙丘。上面什么也长不出来。它们每年从岛的西北部向岛的东南部移动一两米，变得越来越大。在岛上的其他地方，如彩虹峡谷，大教堂和红峡谷，沙岩有不同的颜色。可知，沙丘上什么也不长，沙丘可以移动，沙丘并不是在一年之内形成的，沙丘有不同的颜色，所以A选项符合文意，B 、C、D选项均与文意不符，故答案选A。
【3】
词义猜测题。根据“There are many animals there, too, such as crocodiles, flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes.”可知这里的called是过去分词作后置定语，意为被叫做“dingoes”的野狗，所以dingoes指的是“wild dogs”，故答案选C。
【4】
段意归纳题。根据最后一段中的内容“Unluckily, the visitors create problems. They damage plants and frighten animals. Their sun cream makes the water dirty. So it is necessary to manage the visitors. ”不幸的是，游客制造了麻烦。它们破坏植物，惊吓动物。他们的防晒霜把水弄脏了。因此，有必要对访客进行管理。可知因为人为的破坏，弗雷泽岛需要保护，故答案选A。
【5】
