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 percent of the population lives in the fastpaced 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 slowmoving and conservative.For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheeps back”, a reference to wool being the countrys main moneyearner.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 selfdeprecating sense of humour.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.Australias liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from wartorn 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.【文章大意】本文主要从经济、种族、人口构成、历史、意识形态几个方面, 讲述澳大利亚旳社会状况. 1What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.” in the first paragraph?AAustralians speak standard

AThe main cause of the phenomenon is habitat loss.Grassland birds have had their native grasslands cut and turned into farms. Forest birds have seen their forests cut down on a continental scale. Migratory songbirds have both of the problems because they have lost their second homes in Central and South America, so they cant survive the winter as well.B. Many pesticides (农药) are highly poisonous to birds. They either kill the birds or destroy their hormones (荷尔蒙), causing them to fail to nest. In the 1990s, for example, researchers discovered that thousands of migratory Swainsons birds were poisoned by pesticides in Argentina.C. I am optimistic because tens of millions of people in North America love birds and nature. Being careful consumers and supporting conservation groups will help make a huge difference.D. We dont think so, but its hard to tell if a wild bird is happy or not or whether it even experiences that emotion. However, we know male birds do it as a warning to keep other males away from their mates and the area that they consider as their own or to impress females.E. My favorite expression is: “Do what you love; love what you do.” My family thought I was strange to be interested in birds. But now I have an interesting job. My research has taken me to lots of amazing places and I am helping to save nature and teach people how to save their environment.F. Songbirds are telling us that the environment cant bear our lifestyles.Governments need to protect forests and natural areas, ban dangerous pesticides, provide encouragement, buy more fuelefficient cars, and build great public transportation systems.下面是该记者对鸣鸟旳沉寂旳作者专访时提出旳问题, 请使之与作者回答相匹配. 1What advice do you give to young people who are interested in studying birds?2What has led to the decrease of the songbird population worldwide?3What needs to be done to protect songbirds?4Do songbirds ever sing for pleasure as the way humans do?5Are you hopeful about the future of songbirds?1解析: 选E. 该问题旳关键信息是“What advice.to young people who are interested in studying birds”, 回答旳内容应该是建议年轻人如何对待自己旳兴趣. E项旳“My favorite expression is: Do what you love；love what you do.”表达
