Australia －a huge island continent that lies to the south of Asia. Australia－more than two hundred years old, a nation that is still growing.
Its big cities lie on the southeast coast, this is where most Australians live. Australians prefer to own their own houses, though some live in apartments. Australians are a suburban people. The suburbs surround the cities for many miles, and so efficient transport is of great importance. As the economy grows, so do its industries- a higher level of production, a wider range of products.
The Australian works hard, but he likes his leisure. The climate makes outdoor activities the most popular.
Canberra, the capital of Australia, is a planned modem city located inland. Australia is governed by a parliamentary democracy. The representatives of other countries have their embassies here. Australia wants to strengthen relations with her neighbors.
Australia is a strange land, a land of vast expanses- fertile valleys, snow fields and deserts- also a land with unique animal, many that can not be found on any other continent in the world today.
Much of the continent is dry, but man has utilized the land, made it productive, with its tools, with its technology. This is the driest continent of all, and water is a precious possession, more precious than all other natural resources. Large dams are built to collect the water, there to irrigate the fields of pastures and crops.
But Australia is changing. The land of wool and wheat is now a land of large-scale industry and mining. The costs of developing the new mineral discoveries are enormous, but the rewards are great too.
Australia — a young and developing nation. Australia — a nation that wants to communicate with its neighbors.

Influenza (流行性感冒)has been with us a long, time. According to some Greek writers on medical history, the outbreak of 412 BC was of influenza. The same has been suggested of the sickness that swept through the Greek army attacking Syracuse in 395 BC. Flu is a disease that moves most quickly among people living in crowded conditions, hence it is likely to attack armies.
In April 1918, flu broke out among American troops stationed in France. It quickly spread through all the armies but caused relatively few deaths. Four months later, however, a second outbreak started which proved to be a killer. It killed not only the old and already sick but also healthy young adults. It went through every country in the world, only a few distant islands in the South Atlantic and the Pacific remaining untouched. Before the great outbreak ended, it had killed at least 15 million people.
Medical science is still not certain what hit us in 1918. The virus of influenza (流感病毒) was not found until 1933, so all that today can be said about the 1918 outbreak is the kind of antibodies it produced.
The first big advance was also made in 1933, then a team of British doctors found the type A influenza virus. In 1940, a doctor of the United States found type B. Later type C was found, along with many subgroups of type A and B. Vaccines (疫苗) were prepared and used widely by the armies during the Second World War to prevent outbreaks.
The flu virus proved trickier (奸诈) than most. A vaccine good against one type gave a protection against another. Indeed type A virus changes its nature so quickly that a perfectly good vaccine may lose its value because of the change. This increases the need for the speedy discovery of flu outbreaks, so that stocks(家畜) of the right vaccine can be prepared quickly after an outbreak. Starting such a warning system was one of the first things done by the World Health Organization.
60. Why is influenza easier to attack armies?
A. Because it moves very quickly. B. Because it spread through Greek army long ago .
C. Because it spread through the crowded most quickly. D. Because an army moves more often
61. How many types of influenza have been found excluding subgroups?
A. One type. B. Two types. C. Three types. D. Four types
62. How many people were killed in the flu outbreak of 1918?
A. One million. B. Several million. C. Seven million D. Fifteen million.
63. Which of the following is true according to the passage you have just read?
A. Before 1936 people didn’t know what caused influenza.
B. A Group of American doctors first discovered the types of influenza
C. All kinds of vaccine can not prevent every kind of influenza virus.
D. The earliest outbreak of disease mentioned happened in the year 412 BC.

It is matter of common observation that although money incomes keep going up over years, we never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is named one of inflation（通货膨胀）;the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have grown used in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications (迹象) are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real word our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices, one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money—stability（坚固性）of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes unsuitable standard of deferred(延期的) payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset (财产),so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates (刺激) consumer spending, and prevents saving.
64. Over the years, our incomes have been increasing, and we _______.
A. seem to be well off at a quicker rate
B. are actually no better, if not worse, in our financial condition
C. can afford to buy more of the things that we want
D. have managed to keep prices down
65. Inflation is a situation in which ________.
A. we can watch our money increase in is value B. employment no longer becomes a problem
C. people can always find better paying jobs D. money keeps losing its value
66. If incomes and prices together, people might think that ________.
A. there will be no more market fluctuations（波动）B money will hold its value
C. inflation will remain to be a problem D. inflation causes no problem
67. In a period of inflation, people are likely to _______.
A. invest heavily on the stock market B. save money
C. hold on to money as a dependable asset D. spend money and not bother to save
D
    Don’t go to Kauai. Go to any of the other Hawaiian Islands --- Maui, Lanai, the Big Island --- but leave Kauai for us. The weather on Kauai is so unpredictable (不可预测的) that sometimes it rains all day --- in fact, it’s the second-wettest spot on the earth. Yes, there are giant double rainbows all the time, and the sunlight through the clouds is magical. But if you are not interested in these, go somewhere else. You just can’t control the nature on Kauai, and who wants to surrender (屈服) to the nature when you could be at a fine hotel, lying in a comfortable chair next to a swimming pool, with food served upon request?
    So what if Kauai produces surf champions the way Texas produces cowboys？Most of its 300 white-sand beaches are unmarked. Unless you connect with the local people, the hidden spots are hard to find. While Hanalei is the most beautiful town you’ve ever dreamed of, you can forget about discos and clubs. Worse, it doesn’t have one single four-star restaurant. What it does have is the original drive-through places where you pass by a rambutan tree (红毛丹树), and pick a piece of fruit.
    Shopping in Kauai? Forget it --- unless you are interested in shell necklaces and beautifully carved wood bowls. Kauai is not about pampering. It’s about going natural and finding the nature within you. It’s a do-it-yourself place that offers walking along the coast, diving and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and lying on the beach.
    Don’t go to Kauai unless you have a lot of time, because there’s only one road, which can be slightly dull. It winds through the beautiful scenery of waterfalls, rivers flowing into the ocean, and taro (芋头) fields. You have no choice but to look at everything, because the speed limit is 35 m.p.h.
    If you’re not i
