三、阅读理解。
People often ask what the weather is like in Australia. The answer is that it changes a lot! Why Because Australia is such a large country, weather in different parts is different in the country.
The northern parts of Australia are warm to hot all year round because it is closer to the equator (赤道). In the north, summer is also the rainy season.
The areas along the coast around Sydney are warm in winter with the lowest temperatures about 50 to 60°F. Summer there is warmer and the temperature is about 80°F.
However, if you think all parts of the country are warm all year round, you’ll be wrong. Some parts in Australia are very cold during the winter. When we say cold, we don’t mean that cold like the winter in Harbin. In some places in Tasmania and Victoria, you can see snow and temperatures there are below freezing. In fact many people do not know that there are ski resorts in the mountains of Australia.
Australia is a good place to visit. You can enjoy everything here from sunbathing on the beach to knocking snow off your boots after a day of skiing. If you want to go there for a visit, all you should think about is the weather there.
