Given Australia’s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous (同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide 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 per cent 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, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country’s youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheep’s back”, a reference to wool being the country’s main money earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of Australia’s 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 self-deprecating sense of humor. On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings.
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. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia’s liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx 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 justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.
8．What 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 whatsoever.
B．You have to practice 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.
9．Which 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.
10．The underlined pronoun “it” in the final paragraph refers to “_______”.
A．Community B．racism C．blend of Nations D．Southeast Asia
11．We can infer from the passage that _____.
A．there are no signs of Australia’s colonial past in its modern cities
B．Australia’s recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia
C．immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problems
D．“riding on sheep’s back” resulted in slow development in rural communities

You can shine a light for others. 16 Sometimes,that’s all someone needs to get through a difficult time.You can help even more with ideas and solutions to apply creatively to their own problems.
17 It’s uncomfortable to admit to others your failures,struggles or other moments of weakness.That’s true for everyone,yet opening yourself up to moments of weakness is surprisingly satisfying.It requires courage and being courageous requires practice.
People will support you. 18 We all do.So why not share the ways you’ve faced great difficulties and bounced back If no one knows your struggles then they’ll never know to cheer for you or what you’ve overcome to reach where you are today.
Another great aspect of sharing your story is that it helps you remember the lessons you learned. 19 Understanding what happened and how you handled situations can provide you clearly with the ways on how to do things better and move forward.You can also share key experience alongside your story so others can learn,too.

五、书面表达
46．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Sapphire Fish lived with her mom, dad, sister Mariana, and baby brother Matthew in a blue house across the street from the Elizabeth River. Sapphire loved the water. Maybe it was because her last name was Fish.
Sapphire liked to make sailboats out of paper. Taking a plain square, Sapphire folded and folded until two wide sails appeared. Then she tested the boats in the bathtub. No matter how hard she tried, though, Sapphire couldn’t keep the boats from slowly sinking into the water.
So Sapphire folded more and more paper and made bigger or smaller sails. But still the boats tipped over and disappeared underneath the surface of the water. Sometimes, the boats sank very slowly. Other times, an entire boat got pulled quickly underneath the water, almost like an invisible hand was grabbing it.
One day, the sky grew dark and the wind whistled against the house. Rain fell all day. And all night. In the afternoon, the rain finally stopped. Sapphire looked outside the living room window. There was water everywhere! The river ran right into the street and was filling up Sapphire’s front porch (前门廊).
The next day, Sapphire put on her blue boots that squeaked when she walked. She ran outside to the muddy front yard, where the river had been the day before.
Sapphire looked down at her feet and noticed something shiny and silvery. The most beautiful silver fish was wiggling in the wet mud. It was trying to get back to its home in the river.
Sapphire was scared. She knew that fish couldn’t breathe out of water. Either she had to return the fish to his family in the river or bring the fish inside her house and give him water. But how Her mother had forbidden her to walk past the tree in the front yard. Waves of water still covered the street. It was too dangerous.
She couldn’t put him in a bowl of water from her house. The water from her sink (水槽) was very different from the river water the fish was used to. He might get sick living in the bowl.

35．but 36．to prove 37．have used 38．relics 39．who/that 40．are being disturbed/are disturbed 41．of 42．agreement 43．the 44．stepping
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了旅游业在带动当地经济和给人们带来就业机会的同时，也带来了许多问题。
35．考查连词。句意：是的，它为当地经济带来了资金，为当地人创造了大量就业机会，但也可能带来一些问题。结合句意可知空格前后两句构成转折关系，需要并列连词but（但是）。故填but。
36．考查非谓语动词。句意：一个日益严重的问题是游客们想要证明他们已经去过了一个目的地。结合短语intend to do sth.“打算做某事”，可知填入动词不定式作宾语。故填to prove。
37．考查时态。句意：到目前为止，游客们已经用颜料、石头甚至钥匙在埃及的卢克索神庙、罗马的斗兽场和许多其他遗迹上写了字。结合时间状语so far（到目前为止）可知句子时态是现在完成时，句子主语是tourists，助动词用have。故填have used。
38．考查名词单复数。句意：到目前为止，游客们已经用颜料、石头甚至钥匙在埃及的卢克索神庙、罗马的斗兽场和许多其他遗迹上写了字。结合句意和空格前的other可知需要填入复数名词relics（遗迹）。故填relics。
39．考查定语从句引导词。句意：成千上万的旅游景点被“爱死它们”的游客摧毁。空格处引导定语从句修饰先行词tourists，且在从句中作主语，指人用who或that引导。故填who/that。
40．考查时态和语态。句意：另一个大问题是，当地人和生活一直受到干扰。分析句子可知空格处缺少表语从句的谓语动词，主语“the local people and life”和“disturb”之间是被动关系，系动词用复数形式are，结合句意，可以认为动作正在发生，句子用现在进行时的被动语态，即are being disturbed；也可以认为是陈述事实，使用一般现在时的被动语态，即are disturbed。故填are being disturbed/are disturbed。
41．考查介词。句意：一些游客在没有征得当地人同意的情况下四处游荡，并且给当地人拍照。空格处需要介词of构成短语“take photos of…”，意为“给……拍照”。故填of。
42．考查名词。句意：一些游客在没有征得当地人同意的情况下四处游荡，并且给当地人拍照。在形容词性物主代词“their”之后需要名词agreement（同意），get one’s agreement，意为“得到某人的同意”。故填agreement。
43．考查冠词。句意：毫无疑问，来自游客的问题数不胜数。结合句意可知考查短语the number of，意为“……的数量”。故填the。
44．考查时间状语从句的省略。句意：因此，当走出国门时，记住你是在向世界其他地方代表你的国家。结合句意，可知时间状语从句可以写成when you are stepping outside your country，因为主句是祈使句，暗含主语you，所以根据语法规则，当从句主语和主句主语一致且含有系动词be时可以省略“主语+be”，本题中省略you are，填入stepping即可。故填stepping。
45．Dear John,
I’m writing to express my sincere gratitude to you for what you did for me last Saturday. It was your detailed explanation that made me get a better understanding of Western art.
From your introduction, not only did I know the development of Western art but also I was deeply impressed with the paintings of the famous painters, through which I felt the beauty of art. What’s more, I have become interested in Western painting and already started to further explore the mystery of Western art. Maybe in the future, I will produce a work of art by myself.
Thank you again for your wonderful explanation. Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

46．Suddenly, Sapphire had an idea. She rushed into the room and fetched all the paper boats that she had made. She believed these abandoned boats would be put to good use. She chose one of the boats that sank very slowly and gently put the fish into the “slowly sinking” boat. Finally, the boat floated on the water of the street. Sapphire hoped that the boat would not tip over until it sent the fish into the Elizabeth River.
The wind pushed the boat along, past the street, and the boat was about to enter the Elizabeth River. Sapphire was so excited that she shouted for her mother to come out and look. Finally, they saw the boat sink into the river. They seemed to see the shiny thing dart into the river. Sapphire felt that she had made the best use of her little boat. She saved a fish and let it go home. She thought it was her destiny with the fish and the boat.
【分析】通过所给文章，Sapphire是一个可爱的小姑娘，她家住的街对面有一条河。Sapphire很喜欢折纸船，但她每次折的纸船都没有试验成功，它们最终都在或长或短的时间内沉到浴缸里。有一天，由于下大雨，河水涨到了街上。Sapphire看到一条小鱼在她家院子的泥泞里挣扎，她想把它放回河里去，但是河水还没有退去，很危险。如果把小鱼放到家里的水槽里，她又怕小鱼不适应，她很担心，不知该怎么办，这时她想到一个主意。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“突然，Sapphire有了主意。”可知，第一段可描写Sapphire想到了办法，她要利用那些纸船把小鱼送回河里去。
②由第二段首句内容“风推着船往前走，经过了街道，船即将进入伊丽莎白河。”可知，第二段可描写Sapphire看到小鱼被纸船成功送回河里，她因为自己救了小鱼的生命而感到无比快乐。
2.续写线索：想到办法——利用纸船——送回河里——小鱼回家——无比开心
3.词汇激活

①利用：make use of/take advantage of
