Kath Walker is a very important figure in Queensland history. She was a leading Australian poet, writer, political activist, artist and educator. Kath grew up on North Stradbroke Island; she left school and home at 13 to work as a maid in Brisbane.
During World War Two Kath volunteered to serve in the Australian Women's Army Service. She had to return to domestic service work to support her young sons when her marriage ended in the 1950s.
Kath had a lifelong commitment to advancing civil rights and improving the lives of her people. She was a leading member of Aboriginal (澳大利亚土著的) organisations that demanded Constitutional change to end state control over Aboriginal people.
This hard fought campaign resulted in the history making 1967 Referendum (公
投). Australians voted to include the Aboriginal people in the census (人口普查) and to ensure they were covered by Commonwealth laws.
In the 1950s Kath also became interested in poetry. She joined the Realist Writer's Group where she was encouraged to publish her work. Her first collection,
We Are Going, was published in 1964 selling over 10,000 copies.
Determined to lift the Aboriginal people out of suffering, Kath later moved back to Stradbroke Island to become an educator and cultural guardian for her people. She founded the Noonuccal-Nughie Education and Cultural Centre at her home, Moongalba.
In the 1970s Kath travelled across Australia and the world on lecture tours to raise awareness of the disadvantage experienced by her people.
Kath continued to be a successful writer. She wrote a series of books for young readers recreating the stories she learned as a young girl, starting with Stradbroke
Dreamtime (1972). She saw young people as the hope of the future with thousands
visiting the centre at North Stradbroke during the final decades of her life.
In 1987 Kath changed her name to Oodgeroo Noonuccal. Oodgeroo continued to work for her people up to her death. She died at her home on Stradbroke Island on 16 September 1993. She will be remembered for her pioneering poetry and her important role in Australian political life.

You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature. But, rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation （撤离） of an island nation — the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
During the 20th century, sea level rose 8—12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country’s drinking water.
Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.
Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to
reduce their greenhouse gas emissions（导致温室效应的气体排放）， which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC.
Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.
Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable（易受影响的） to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.

解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.”可判断出，造成严重暴风雨的直接原因是海洋表面水温太高。
6.Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not . A.agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions B.sign an agreement with Tuvalu C.allow Tuvaluans to move to the US
D.believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real
解析：选A 细节理解题。第四段第一句话表明，Laupepa 对美国表示不满的原因是美国拒绝签署减少温室效应气体排放的公约。
