Question

【题目】 It was a cool spring morning back in 2009 and I had just started a morning shift as a school crossing guard. Looking out for the children, I suddenly noticed something at sideways. Behind me I first thought it was a small, overweight dog heading towards me. I didn't think much about it, and looked carefully at any approaching children, as well as enjoying the morning sun.

What is wrong with that dog? I thought later on, as I looked back to check on the small dog—it was moving much too fast for itself.

A few minutes later, I felt as if I was being watched, I looked behind me, but the dog had disappeared. Then, as I slowly turned my attention back to the road, I was greatly surprised to see a large koala at my feet and staring right up at me. A number of different solutions crossed my mind. But staying calm was the best. "Are you waiting to cross the road?" I asked the sweet koala. Miss Koala looked away, and scratched (抓挠) behind her ear.

Then it got up on all four feet and impatiently started to cross the road. I quickly checked for any cars, then walked to the road with my stop sign held high, whistle (吹哨) to my lips, and held my breath.

The koala made it to the other side of the street, then continued following the path through the trees and disappeared into bushes.

So why did the koala cross at the school crossing? To safely get to the trees on the other side!

【解析】

本文是记叙文，主要讲述了学校警卫员帮助一只考拉过马路的故事。

【1】根据文中“I had just started a morning shift as a school crossing guard.”可知作者是一名学校警卫员。故填：A school crossing guard.

【2】根据“Looking out for the children, I suddenly noticed something at sideways.”和“I was greatly surprised to see a large koala at my feet and staring right up at me.”可知他在十字路口看学生的时候，最开始注意到有什么东西是在侧面，等它走近他才知道刚才是一只考拉。故填：At sideways (near the school crossing).

【3】根据文中“A number of different solutions crossed my mind. But staying calm was the best.”可知作者在这个时候选择了冷静。故填：He chose to stay calm. / Stay calm.

【4】根据“Then it got up on all four feet and impatiently started to cross the road.”可知这只考拉没有耐心地过马路，可以判断出它根本不知道马路上的危险，因此从impatiently即可看出。故填：The word "impatiently" showed koala didn't realize the danger when crossing the road.

【5】根据“I quickly checked for any cars, then walked to the road with my stop sign held high, whistle (吹哨) to my lips, and held my breath.”可知作者是走到路上举起停止牌，并吹口哨让车辆停下来，帮助考拉过来马路。故填：He helped koala cross the road by holding the stop sigh high and whistling in the road. / By walking to the road with his stop sigh held high, whistle to his lips.

【6】根据文章可知考拉熊来到有学校警卫的十字路口过马路，可以看出来考拉觉得自己可以和学生一样的在别人的帮助下过马路，那样比较安全，因此考拉应该是比较聪明的。故填：The koala was very clever/ smart. Because it/he or she thought someone/the guard would help her cross the road safely like he helped the children going to school, and that was the right place to cross the road safely.（开放性答案，言之有理即可）
