【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述的是小宝宝考拉把一只小狗当作妈妈的故事，并介绍了宝宝考拉的生活习性。

【1】

考查固定句式。句意：最近，一只小狗在它的院子里和它的主人亨利玩耍时，突然一只小考拉跳到了它的背上。固定句式：was/were doing sth. when +一般过去时态，“正在做某事这时候……突然……”。故填when。

【2】

考查固定搭配。句意：这只困惑的狗四处走动，试图摆脱紧紧抓着它皮毛的动物。固定搭配：try to do sth.“尽力去做某事”。此处是动词不定式作宾语，故填to get。

【3】

考查副词。句意：最后，这只温柔的狗在树熊背上滚了一滚，甩掉了它。此处managed是动词，由副词修饰，故填eventually。

【4】

考查形容词性物主代词。句意：这时，树熊又跑回了树林，寻找它真正的妈妈。此处mom是名词，由形容词性物主代词修饰，故填its。

【5】

考查固定搭配。句意：他认为这只狗可能把他那只友好的狗当成了自己的父母。固定搭配：mistake…for“误把……当作……”。故填for。

【6】

考查过去分词作状语。句意：虽然经常被称为“熊”，考拉不是熊科的成员，而传统熊属于熊科。此处koala和refer to之间是被动关系，与连词though构成让步状语。故填referred。

【7】

考查定语从句。句意：虽然经常被称为“熊”，考拉不是熊科的成员，而传统熊属于熊科。此处family是先行词，指物，belong to“属于”，介词to后指人用whom，指物用which引导定语从句。故填which。

【8】

考查含情态动词的被动语态。句意：相反，这种生活在澳大利亚的动物与袋鼠很相似。此处animals是先行词，在后面的非限制性定语从句中作主语，与find构成被动关系，是含情态动词的被动语态，can已经给出，故填be found。

【9】

考查现在分词。句意：考拉宝宝出生时是盲人，它们生命的前六个月都是在妈妈的袋子里度过的，接下来的六个月则靠背或肚子支撑。固定搭配：spend…（in）doing sth.“在做某事上花费”。故填holding。

【10】

考查名词。句意：这些动物仅靠树叶生存，每天要消耗2.5磅的食物。此处their是形容词性物主代词，修饰名词，所给词survive是动词，其形容词是survival。故填survival。
