    Welcome to Australia
    The Great Outdoors
    Australia is the world’s oldest continent and indigenous Australians have one of the world’s oldest culture.
    In Australia you will see unique plants and animals and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Many parks have information centres offering advice on where to go, what to see and how to see it--for both your personal safety and to protect our sensitive, natural environment.
    Banks and Money Matters
    Banks are generally open between 9:30am and 4pm on Monday to Thursday and 9:30am and 5pm on Friday.

    Many of our waters are safe for swimming, but if you have any doubts, ask before entering the water.
    Most of our popular ocean beaches have patrols with life-saving service. Red and yellow flags mark the area that you are advised to swim within. 
    If there are no flags and no life guards on the beach, talk to local people about the best areas to swim.

    Australians drive on the left-hand side of the road.
    For safety, everyone in the car, including children, must wear a seat belt.

    American colleges and universities consider a number of things about a student who wants to be admitted. Experts say the most important thing is the students’ high school record. Besides, student's interests and activities may also play a part in getting accepted. But in most cases another consideration is how well the student did on college entrance exams. Here we’d like to discuss two of these tests: the SAT and the ACT. Most American schools accept either one.
    The SAT measures reasoning skills in mathematics and language. Students have almost four hours to complete the SAT. The newest part is an essay. Students have twenty-five minutes to write an answer to a question.
    The SAT costs 41.5$. Besides, the international processing charge is 22$ more. And test-takers in India and Pakistan must also pay a 21.5 $ security charge.
    Students may also need to take SAT subject tests in areas like history, science and foreign language. Subject tests cost eighteen dollars each.
    The ACT is an achievement test. It is designed to measure what a student has learned in school. Students are tested in mathematics, English, reading and science. A writing test is offered but not required. Without it, the ACT takes about three hours to complete. The essay part adds thirty minutes.
    The ACT costs forty-nine dollars to take outside the United States. The writing test costs an additional fourteen dollars.
    小题1:What’s most important in students’ admission to American colleges and universities?
    A．High school record

    Like many languages spoken by people, Ayapaneco is dying. Only two people in the world still speak it, and they won't talk to each other.
    Spoken in Mexico for centuries, Ayapaneco is one of 68 surviving languages in the mainly Spanish-speaking nation. The two speakers are Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez. Though they live only 500 meters from each other in the village, the two men seldom talk to each other. Daniel, an American expert, who is working to make a dictionary of Ayapaneco, says the two men “don’t have a lot in common,” and that Segovia can be “active” while Velasquez tends to mind his own business and stay at home.
    While Segovia still speaks to his wife and son in Ayapaneco, neither of them can manage more than a few words. Velasquez hardly speaks his native tongue any more. Daniel is working to preserve the language in dictionary form before its last surviving speakers pass away. According to Daniel, Ayapaneco and the other languages began dying out with the introduction of public Spanish education in the mid-20th century. For decades, local children weren’t allowed to speak anything else. Many people to cities, starting in the 1970s, also helped the dying out of native languages.
    Ayapaneco is the name given to the language; Segovia and Velazquez call it “Nuumte Oote”, which means “true voice”. Neither man, however, speaks the same language. The dictionary will contain two versions(版本) of the language when it comes out later this year. Those behind the dictionary aren’t the only ones trying to save Ayapaneco. The National Language Institute plans to hold classes so that Segovia and Velasquez can pass on what they know to children.
    It is thought that there are about 6,000 languages spoken on earth and that about half will disappear over the next 100 years. Let’s hope the “true voice” isn’t one of them.
    小题1:Segovia and Velasquez seldom talk to each other in Ayapaneco because they___________________.
    A．both dislike the language
    B．don’t get along well with each other
    C．are too busy to talk to each other
    D．don’t share the same interests
    小题2:Which are the main reasons why the language Ayapaneco started dying out? 
    a. No teacher liked to teach it.         b. Local children had to speak Spanish.
    c. many villagers went to live in cities.  d. The surviving speakers didn’t like to use it.
    A．a, bB．a, cC．b, dD．b, c
    小题3:How does the National Language Institute try to save Ayapaneco?
    A．Write a dictionary of Ayapaneco.
    B．Let Ayapaneco be taught at school.
    C．Introduce a public Ayapaneco education.
    D．Ask villagers to speak Ayapaneco.
    小题4:From the text we learn that the author____________________.
    A．agrees that it is natural that Ayapaneco should die out
    B．thinks Daniel’s effort to preserve Ayapaneco won’t work
    C．thinks highly of Ayapaneco and wants people to learn it
    D．hopes that Ayapaneco will not die out in the future

    As an English teacher, I’ve been lucky enough to travel to many countries all over the world. I’ve seen people celebrate everything from the arrival of new babies to the delivery of new cars. I’ve attended weddings, parties and religious celebrations in countries such as Argentina and Japan, and I’ve noticed that gold---the metal or the colour of it---is always part of cultural events, traditions and celebrations.
    It makes me wonder: Why do people love gold?
    For some people, gold seems to be a status(地位)symbol. Indian businessman Datta Phuge loves gold so much that he even bought a shirt made of gold at a cost of $250,000. I’m not sure I’d spend so much money on a shirt, would you? But Datta Phuge has his reason .He explains,“ Some people want to own an Audi or a Mercedes. I choose gold.”
    For other people, gold is an investment(投资). The price of gold generally increases over time and in European markets, it reached even $1,500 per ounce in 2011.
    And for many people, a family heirloom（传家宝）brings together status and investment. My mother has a gold bracelet（手镯）that was given to her by her grandmother who, in turn, inherited it from her own grandmother. It’s quite a heavy piece and probably worth quite a lot of money. But its mental value is greater than its value in dollars. It’s a beautiful object that holds many family memories. When the time comes, my mum will give the bracelet to me, and one day, I’ll pass it on to the younger generation.
    Therefore, status and investment are good reasons to value gold. However, I think that the real reason why people love gold is that it can be made into beautiful objects. Think about Tutankhamen’s death mask. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?
    People love gold because it holds their minds, their imaginations and, above all, their hearts.
    小题1:The main idea of the first paragraph is that______.
    A．the author has traveled to many countries
    B．people celebrate almost everything
    C．there are many ways to use gold
    D．people all over the world love gold
    小题2:Datta Phuge bought a shirt made of gold because________.
    A．gold is a status symbol to himB．he loves this kind of shirt
    C．people there love gold so muchD．he is a successful businessman
    小题3:According to the passage, in Europe,gold could be________per ounce in 2010.
    A．$1,550B．$1,500 C．$1,450D．$1,600
    小题4:The gold bracelet is the heirloom for the author’s family mainly because______.
    A．it’s worth a lot of moneyB．it brings status and investment
    C．it’s a beautiful objectD．it holds family memories
    小题5:In the author’s opinion, the real reason why people love gold is that________.
    A．it is a status symbol to some people
    B．it can be made into beautiful objects
    C．it can be passed on to the younger generation
    D．it can bring people a lot of money

    The world's native languages are dying out at an unprecedented(空前的) rate, taking with them irreplaceable(不能替代的) knowledge about the natural world, according to a new study.
    The study identified five global "hot spots" where languages are vanishing faster than anywhere else ---- eastern Siberia, northern Australia, central South America, the US state of Oklahoma and the US Pacific Northwest. "Languages are suffering a global extinction crisis that greatly goes beyond the pace of species extinction," linguistics(语言学的) professor David Harrison noted, who said half of the world's 7,000 languages were expected to disappear before the end of the century.
    Native people had an intimate(详尽的) knowledge of their environment that was lost when their language disappeared, along with other certain things often unfamiliar to us, Harrison stressed. "Most of what we know about species and ecosystems is not written down anywhere, it's only in people's heads," he said. "We are seeing in front of our eyes the loss of the human knowledge base."
    Harrison was one of a team of linguists who carried out the study. The researchers traveled to Australia this year to study native languages, some of the most endangered. According to Harrison, in Australia, they were heartened to see a woman in her 80s who was one of the only three remaining speakers of the Yawuru language passing on her knowledge to schoolchildren. He said such inter-generational exchanges were the only way native languages could survive. "The children had elected to take this course, no one forced them," he said. "When we asked them why they were learning it, they said,‘This is a dying language, we need to learn it'." Also, while there they found a man with knowledge of the Amurdag language, which had previously been thought extinct.
    The researchers said all five of the hot spots identified were areas that had been successfully colonized and where a dominant language such as Spanish or English was threatening native tongues.
    小题1:What does this text mainly talk about?
    A．A study on native languages endangered.
    B．The knowledge of native languages.
    C．People's efforts in saving native languages
    D．Harrison and his study on languages.
    小题2:According to Harrison, language extinction       .
    A．causes the researchers lots of worries
    B．speeds up the pace of species extinction
    C．threatens the existing of Spanish and English
    D．brings about a loss of knowledge about the environment
    小题3:Which of the following can be described as good news?
    A．Native languages became less endangered in Australia.
    B．A man was found with knowledge of the Amurdag language.
    C．Researchers were well received by native people in Australia.
    D．Many schoolchildren showed interest in the Yawuru language.
