Fill in the blank and answer the questions.
Teacher: Australia has lots of unusual mammals, (1) …………………………. as the kangaroo and the
koala. We’re going to get to them in a bit. But, for a (2) …………………………. of minutes, I’d like to
tell you about another unique animal that lives there. It’s called the dingo. The dingo is a predator
that’s similar to a dog. I (3) …………………………. you could say it’s more like a wild dog. It’s believed
that the dingo migrated to Australia from Southeast Asia thousands of years ago since there are wild
dogs similar to the dingo in some parts of Southeast Asia.
Anyway, the dingo lives mainly in the interior of Australia, which is called the Outback. It has short (4)
…………………………. that’s reddish brown in color, but, uh, its underside is more whitish in color.
The dingo has short, (5) …………………………. ears and a long tail. As for its size, it averages around
(6) …………………………. kilograms in (7) ………………………….. It can live for up to twenty years.
As I already mentioned, the dingo is a predator. In fact, it’s Australia’s largest predator that lives solely
on land. The dingo typically eats small mammals like, uh, like rabbits and rats. It also eats birds and
reptiles, particularly lizards. The dingo has been known to attack livestock ... mainly sheep and cattle.
There’s an (8) …………………………. battle in Australia between farmers who want to kill the dingoes
that attack their livestock and people who want to keep them alive. Dingoes occasionally attack
humans and have, in a few rare cases, killed small children.
The dingo is a (9) …………………………. animal that typically travels in packs of up to ten. In that way,
I suppose it’s like the wolf, another animal related to the dog. Female dingoes breed once a year and
give birth to up to five pups at a time. The pups usually stay with their mother for up to eight months.
Now, let me tell you a (10) …………………………. about how dingoes communicate with each other. I
think this is pretty interesting ...

11. What is the purpose of the lecture?

A. To provide some facts about the dingo
B. To prove that the dingo is a unique animal
C. To compare the dingo with the dog
D. To note the dingo’s eating habits

12. According to the teacher, what is true about the dingo?

A. It can weigh up to twenty kilograms.
B. It reproduces once every few years.
C. It is active at night and sleeps in the day.
D. It hunts other animals and eats them.
