【解析】这篇短文主要讲述动物园里买来了一只袋鼠，动物园饲养员很担心它会跳出墙外，就建造了一座特殊的墙，但是袋鼠照样能跑出去。于是饲养员一连几次把墙加高，但始终袋鼠都能去外面。当一只长颈鹿问袋鼠，你认为他们会把墙加多高，袋鼠说：“不知道，这要看他是否记得锁门。”

1.细节理解题。根据The kangaroo(袋鼠)from Australia was a new star in the zoo. 可知，袋鼠来自澳大利亚。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据 It was famous for jumping very high. 可知，袋鼠擅长跳高，故选B。

3.细节理解题。根据Because it could jump over the wall and run away easily, the zoo keeper put it in a place with 3-metre-high walls around.可知，饲养员为了防止袋鼠跳出去，所以就修了高墙。故选A。

4.细节理解题。根据The zoo keeper thought it needed higher walls, so he made the walls 3. 5 metres high. 可知，第二次饲养员把墙加高了，加到了3.5米高。故选B。

5.推理判断题。根据Maybe they'll be 300 metres. It all depends on(取决于) whether(是否)he remembers to close the gate.可知，饲养员忘了关上门，才让袋鼠跑到了外面，并不是墙不够高。可见饲养员是粗心的，故选D。

点睛：推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了作出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。该题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，作出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。5题是根据短文的最后一句，推测出饲养员太粗心了。
