Ⅰ 次の文を読んで、あとの問いに答えなさい。（ ••• のついた語句は文末に注があります。）
Steve the koala lost his mother and suffered severe burns in the Black Summer wildfires⑴

that swept Australia in 2019 and 2020. He was one of 28 koalas

Ａfrom Kangaroo

Island, off the coast of South Australia. Black Summer was one of the most destructive
wildfire seasons in recorded Australian history. The fires destroyed thousands of homes and,according to one estimate, killed or displaced billions of animals. The smoke covered New••••Zealand and eventually traveled all the way to South America.
The fires were especially destructive for Kangaroo Island, an area famous for its
biological diversity. Up to 80 percent of the estimated 50,000 koalas on the island died. Other
native species, such as the Kangaroo Island dunnart and glossy black cockatoo, also suffered•••••••••••••••••••••••
heavy losses. “In our 25 -year history here, we’ve had numerous little fires in the district,”
says Jim Geddes, who runs koala-spotting tours at the island’s Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.
⑵“But this last one was much bigger than anything we have seen before.”⒜

The fires were followed by long periods of heavy rain, and plants rapidly grew again

across the island. Three years later, the burnt-out trunks are now covered in green leaves,and the koala population is recovering.
But the same rain that revived landscapes across

Sanctuary sits in the hills lined with river valleys north of the capital, Canberra. When it
rains so heavily, so often, even this steep terrain is changed into a dangerous flood zone as••••••
strong and fast-moving streams of water flow violently through the area. Sanctuary manager
Donna Stepan says rain storms this year have posed aＢthreat to the animals. “It’susually once a year the wet land is so bad that you can’t cross,” she says. “But this year, it’s
now been fourteen times.”
Wombats, close relatives of koalas, live in underground burrows that provideＣ••••
from fire but can turn into very dangerous places during floods. Stepan says ten wild
wombats used to come at night to feed, but now she only sees three. She thinks the others
have probably drowned. She tries to protect the sanctuary from flooding, but says her efforts
often feel useless. “You hear, ‘Oh, it’s going to happen again next week with the rain.’ Andthen that happens. And then, ‘It’s going to happen the next week,’ and it’s just…” her voice
becomes quieter. When these floods have gone, long-term solutions to the threats facing the−2−

country will still be urgently needed. But this can only happen with public pressure.
