(Text 2

12、 is most relevant for this question. Some of the reasons that people chose to settle in Australia might be because they want a better life than they had at home or they want a change of lifestyle or a challenge. Others may come because they are attracted to the climate, the beauty of the country or

13、the opportunity to improve the situation that they had in their original country. 32021/4/2015 Some come because they have been forced to leave their country for some reason and must find somewhere else to live.) People who go to a new country to start again are likely to be courageous, curious and

14、strong minded, and they enjoy challenges, since there might be tremendous hardships. They are probably confident of their abilities and open to new ideas and ways of doing things.2021/4/2016 2 Each year large numbers of people become Australian citizens. Why do you think they choose to become citize

15、ns? (Text 2 is most relevant for this question.) They could choose to become Australian citizens in order to feel truly a part of their new country, to feel secure in their new country and know they cannot be made to leave, or to gain an Australian passport and enjoy the rights of a citizen. Only Au

16、stralian citizens can vote so some may want to take a greater part in the political life of the country.

17、y plane would be more suitable? Give more than one reason. Obviously, if you have to get to your destination quickly, you would travel by plane. It is also cheaper to travel by plane as these long distance trains are luxurious and therefore expensive. You might travel by train for the experience or

18、to view the scenery on your journey. You might travel by train because you are frightened of flying.2021/4/2018 4 In what part of Australia do you think most agriculture takes place? Give reasons. (Text 1 is most relevant for this question.) As you need water to grow things, farming is most suitable

19、 in the wetter, coastal areas of the country.2021/4/2019 5 Why do you think the population of Australia is so small when it is such a large country? (Text I is most relevant for this question.) Part of the reason is that much of the centre of Australia is uninhabitable desert. Another reason is that

20、 the Aboriginal population was fairly stable for thousands of years and others settled in the country just over two hundred years ago. A third reason is that the government has strict quotas on how many people can immigrate to the country. 6 Answers may vary.2021/4/2020 Complete the sentences with w

Knowing that he was a good jumper, the zoo authorities increased the height of the fence around him, but, the next morning, the kangaroo was out of his enclosure again. So the keepers solution was to build an even higher barrier. However, the next morning, the result w

29、as disappointing - the kangaroo was not in his enclosure. The authorities, being desperate, increased the height of the fence again and again and it was soon over forty meters high.Revising useful structures12021/4/2027 A camel in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo, How high do you think theyll g

34、friends?P: Oh, thats very kind of you but .B: But?P: Well, you see Im terrified of snakes.2021/4/2031B: Really? Oh, you dont have to worry. Snakes are scared of humans and they move away as soon as they hear you coming. Just remember to make a lot of noise with your feet.P: Yes, but what if one is h

35、iding under some wood and I disturb it? B: Well, the best thing is not to move any large pieces of wood. Oh, and as much as possible, avoid walking in really long grass where you cant see whats on the ground. And if you do have to walk through long grass, you should wear boots and long trousers that

36、 you can fold2021/4/2032 inside your boots. Then, if a snake did try to bite you, it wouldnt get to your skin. P: I dont know. It still sounds dangerous.B: Look, most snakes cant kill you anyway. And we always stay in camping grounds that have short grass so we hardly ever see snakes. And when we go

37、 into the bush we always make a lot of noise.P: Bushes? Are we going to walk through bushes?2021/4/2033B: No, the Bush! Thats what Australians call the part of the countryside where there arent any houses or farms or other signs of humans. You know, the natural areas with trees and grass and native

38、animals.P: Oh, I see. So, when you go into the bush you must wear boots and long trousers. You shouldnt move anything that is lying on the ground and you must make a lot of noise so the snakes run away.2021/4/2034 B: Youve got the right idea. But I dont think youll be able to make the snakes run awa

39、y. P: But you said . B: Snakes dont have legs, mate.Suggested answers to Exercise 1: Wei Ping may be worried about the weather, as they will be sleeping in tents, the lack of toilet and bathing facitilities, the possibility of getting lost, insects such as mosquitoes, or snakes and spiders, etc.1202

40、1/4/2035 Listen to the conversation between Bob and Wei Ping and answer the questions. 1 What is Wei Ping worded about? Wei Ping is worried about snakes. 2 Does Bob share his worry? No, Bob is not worried because he does not believe they are likely to see any and he knows what precautions to take ag

41、ainst being bitten.22021/4/20363 Do you think by the end of the conversation, Bob has talked Wei Ping into going camping? Why do you think this? He probably has talked him around because he assured Wei Ping that there was very little danger. Also the fact that Wei Ping summarized the advice Bob gave

42、 him suggests that he has accepted Bobs assurances.2021/4/2037 Listen again and then complete the poster on the right.3 How to avoid _ bitesWhen walking in long grass, wear _ ; make _ to frighten them away; _ any wood lying on the ground ; if possible, _ in long grass. snakeboots and lone trousers;a

43、 noisedo not moveavoid walking2021/4/2038 Suggested answers to Exercise 4: 1 Why did Wei Ping misunderstand Bob when he said When we walk through the bush.? Because Wei Ping may think the bush means wild and dangerous land, but Australians use it to mean the countryside where there arent any houses

44、or farms or other signs of humans. 2 Why cant Wei Ping make a snake run away? Because snakes dont have legs (this is where the humour lies). 42021/4/2039 Answer the following questions.How many poisonous snakes and how many poisonous spiders are there in Australia? Are they all capable of killing hu

45、mans? 115 different kinds of snakes and most of the 2,000 different kinds of spiders.

47、ttacked a human? The saltwater crocodile.2021/4/2041 Suggested answers to Exercise 3: Crocodiles: If you are in the far north of Australia a long way from civilisation, keep a lookout for signs about crocodiles and stay away from rivers where these signs appear. Sharks: Try to swim in places that ha

48、ve shark nets. If you hear a shark warning, get out of the water immediately.32021/4/2042 Spiders: Unless you are wearing gloves, dont put your hands into dark, dry places, under stones or amongst rubbish. If you do get bitten, go immediately to the hospital. Jellyfish: If you see jelly fish washed

49、up on the beach, dont go in the water. If you are stung by a jelly fish and have trouble breathing, go immediately to the hospital.2021/4/2043 Possible arguments For: Australia has a lot of dangerous animals such as spiders, sharks, snakes and crocodiles. Many parts of Australia are desert and have

50、few people in them, so it could be dangerous if your car broke down in one of these remote places. The sun is very hot, especially in the northern parts and you could get heat exhaustion, bad sun burn or even skin cancer. If you are not a goodDebating2021/4/2044 swimmer or are not familiar with the

51、dangers of waves and currents, you could get into trouble swimming in the sea. You could get lost walking around the bush. Against: Not many people are injured or die from the dangerous creatures of Australia and of those that do die, most have not taken sensible precautions to avoid these creatures

52、. Australia has many search and rescue organizations to rescue people who are lost or injured. If people follow the rules concerning travelling in remote areas, going2021/4/2045 in the sun or swimming at the beach, most dangers can be avoided. There is plenty of information available for tourists ab

53、out keeping safe. Australias crime rate is fairly low and so it is much safer than places like America. Because there are fewer cars and many road rules, car accidents are less frequent than in some other countries.2021/4/2046Sample writing Dear Haidi, Thanks for your email. How wonderful for you th

54、at you are going to Australia. I think youll have a great time on the camping trip and youll get to see native animals in their natural setting.
