大堡礁位于澳大利亚东北部近海处，是地球上最大的生物。大堡礁整体面积接近日本的国土面积，甚至从外太空都能看得到它。大堡礁已有2,500万年的历史，由生长在死珊瑚上的活珊瑚组成。它是许多鸟类和海洋生物的栖息地。但如今，这一独特又脆弱的区域正在遭受污染和气候变化的威胁。Itishosttomanyspeciesofbirdsandseacreatures.

Butthisuniqueanddelicateplaceisnowunderthreatfrompollutionandclimatechange.☆ishostto在这里可以理解为ishometo，所以本句句意为“它（大堡礁）是很多鸟类和海洋生物的家园”。☆underthreat意为“受到威胁”。注意学习“under+抽象名词”搭配的用法和意义。类似的用法还有：undercontrol,undertheinfluenceof...①
