Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous(繁榮的) and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same, though many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents. However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city people 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, 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. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheeps back”, a reference to wool being the countrys main money-earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. 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 humor. On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等級制度), an attitude generally held dating 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 come from elsewhere. Australias liberal post-war immigration policies led to the arrival of a number of immigrants from war-torn Europe, mostly 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 ablend 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. 1. 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. 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. 2. 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 in the city is different from that in the country. 3. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “_”. A. communityB. racismC. blend of nationsD. Southeast Asia4. We can infer from the passage that _. A. there are no signs of Australias colonial past in its modern citiesB. Australias recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast AsiaC. immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problemsD. “riding on sheeps back” resulted in slow development in rural communities5. This passage mainly focuses on Australias _. A. societyB. economyC. racial problemsD. history(B)The Harrington School is an old one-room schoolhouse in Georgia. The building has not been used in years. Community leaders and even the local historical society thought it wasnt worth saving. “Just look at it and you could tell it was going to fall any minute, so lets tear it down, ” they said. The Harrington School was built in nineteen twenty-five for black children on St. Simons Island. Amy Roberts well remembers she attended first grade there in nineteen fifty-three. That was a year before the United States Supreme Court ruled that schools had to be racially integrated. A number of states kept blacks from attending school with whites. After the ruling, the children joined white students at St. Simons other elementary schools. The old schoolhouse continued to be used for social activities and a day care center. By nineteen seventy, however, it stood empty. Amy Roberts worried that developers might tear it down. So she started the African-American Heritage Coalition to try to save it. “If its not saved, then eventually you would not know that we existed here on St. Simons. Everything of African-American heritage has been torn down. ” She said. In two thousand nine the Harrington School was weeks away from destruction. Then a local historian named Patty Deveau took a closer look and started a movement called the Rosenwald Fund. Georgia historian Jeanne Cyriaque explains. “At the very core of that movement was the involvement of the community, sympathetic whites and philanthropy, merging together to do what today wed call partnerships. ”Julius Rosenwald was a businessman. In nineteen fifteen he donated money to black communities to build their own schools. By the late twenties, the Rosenwald Fund had donated to more than five thousand educational buildings in fifteen states across the South. One-third of rural black children were attending a Rosenwald school. “This particular school kind of embodies to me what was going on with the communities at the time, because in many African-American communities, it was African-American families that gave land for these schools to be built. ” Jeanne Cyriaque said. Now, preservation architects are developing plans to restore the Harrington School. Amy Roberts and others were surprised by what the experts found when they inspected the structure. “They went through it and they talked about how sound it was and theyd never seen anything like this. I mean, it was, like, in great shape!” 6. What do you learn about the Harrington School?A. It only has one room and is going to fall down. B. It was built in 1925 and is in poor condition now. C. It has not been used since 1954. D. Though it was built over 85 years ago, it is still in good condition. 7. According to the second paragraph, we learn that _ .
