Australias size and the fact that early settlements were far apart,Australian society is remarkably homogeneous(同种类的).Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many kilometres separate them.It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.However,there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and the country people.Almost 90 percent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert.The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage(遗产),but the overall impression is modern,with new buildings reflecting the countrys youth.In contrast,the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative(保守的).For many years,Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheeps back”,a reference to wool being the countrys dominant(支配的) economy.Much of Australias relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat,and by being the largest diamond producer in the world.Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important.Australians are generally friendly and relaxed,with a sense of humour.Yet,contrary to widespread belief,very few Australians have true prisoner origins.Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788,Australia had become a nation of immigrants(移民).Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles,today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere.Australias liberal postwar immigration policies led to an inflow of survivors from war-torn Europe,most notably Greeks,Italians,Poles and Germans.The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia.Today Australia is a “blend of nations” and although some racism exists,it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is proud to have one of the most harmonious multi-cultural communities in the world.1What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.” in the first paragraph?A.Australians speak standard English with no local accents.B.You have to practise a lot to learn to understand the different accents.C.The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed.D.There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia.答案D解析从文章第一段可以看出,在澳大利亚,不管城市还是乡村,人们的生活方式并没有很大的差异,如果要辨认地方口音的话,需要人们有很好的听力才行。2Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.B.The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.C.The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe.D.The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.答案D解析从文章第二段前四句话可以看出D项正确。3The underlined pronoun “it” in the last paragraph refers to “”.A.community B.racismC.blend of nationsD.Southeast Asia答案C解析从最后一段“Today Australia is a blend of nations and although some racism exists.”可以看出,这里的“it”表示的是blend of nations。4This passage mainly talks about Australias .A.societyB.economyC.racial problemsD.history答案A解析从整篇文章不难发现,这是一篇主要讲述澳大利亚社会生活的文章。六、语篇填空My
