In the summer of 2019-2020, Australia experienced one of the worst bushfire seasons in its history, with millions of hectares of forest burned and thousands of wildlife species affected. The fires destroyed habitats, killed billions of animals, and left a trail of ecological damage across the country.
In response, the Australian government launched a large-scale ecological restoration program. Scientists and volunteers worked together to plant native tree species, set up wildlife rescue centers, and monitor the recovery of the affected areas. They also introduced measures to control invasive species that might take over the burned land and disrupt natural regeneration.
Local communities played a key role in the recovery process. Many farmers opened their lands to provide temporary habitats for displaced animals, and school students organized fund-raising events to support wildlife rescue efforts. Additionally, researchers are studying the long-term impact of the fires on the ecosystem to develop better strategies for future fire prevention and recovery.
Thanks to these joint efforts, signs of recovery have started to appear. Native plants are sprouting again, and some wildlife species, like kangaroos and koalas, are returning to the burned areas. However, experts warn that full ecological recovery will take decades, and continuous efforts are needed to protect the fragile ecosystem from further harm.

A. Millions of hectares of forest were burned.

D. Invasive species were completely eliminated.
37. What measure did the Australian government take for ecological restoration
A. Cutting down all the burned trees to build new buildings.
B. Launching a large-scale program to restore the affected areas.
C. Ignoring the recovery of wildlife habitats.
D. Allowing invasive species to spread freely.
38. How did local communities contribute to the recovery process
A. They closed their lands to all wildlife.
B. They organized fund-raising events for wildlife rescue.
C. They stopped all agricultural activities.
D. They refused to cooperate with scientists.
39. What can we infer from the passage

参考范文
Dear Editor,
In recent years, human activities like deforestation, industrial pollution and overexploitation have caused great damage to nature, leading to frequent extreme weather events and biodiversity loss.
Living in harmony with nature is crucial. Nature provides us with essential resources, and a balanced ecosystem ensures our long-term survival. Destroying nature means harming ourselves.
As middle school students, we can take small but meaningful actions. We can save water and electricity, sort waste properly, plant trees in spring, and spread environmental knowledge to our families and friends.
Let’s act now to build a sustainable future where humans and nature thrive together!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
