一、阅读理解
Can international students bring family or their children with them to Australia Use this guide to find out about the visa rules for international students.
A student visa is a temporary (临时的) visa that allows students to stay in Australia for the length of their course. Students are also able to include family members when they are applying for their student visa as long as they are your partner or children.
One of the most important factors of the application is the genuine temporary entrant (GTE) criterion (入境标准). It includes a written statement in which you need to demonstrate (说明) that you and your family do not intend to stay in Australia beyond your student visa.
You also have to meet English language prerequisites (前提) as well as financial requirements. You need to have enough money that is genuinely available to you to pay for your course fees and travel and living costs for you and your accompanying family members while you are in Australia.
The 12-month living cost is:
Student: AUD$21,041
Partner/spouse: AUD$7,362
Child: AUD$3,152
Alternatively, you can show proof of an annual income. The current benchmark (基准) is A$62,222 for single person or A$72,592 for families.

It is August 1939 and a group of frightened children are boarding a train at Prague’s Wilson Station. Their heartbroken parents do not join them. Indeed, they fear they may never see their children again. But they know that their children will live. These are among the 669 children that Nicholas Winton will go on to save from death.
In December 1938, a friend asked Winton to come to Prague to help people. In Prague, Winton saw people living in terrible conditions and whose lives were in danger. He decided to help transport children to safety in Britain. He established an office to keep records of the children and then returned to Britain to find temporary homes for them. He used donated funds and his own money to pay the 50 pounds per child that the British government required. By August 1939, Winton had saved 669 children.
During World War II, Winton served as an officer in Britain’s Royal Air Force. He left the army in 1954. He then worked for international charities and for various companies. For the most part, he did not mention the children he saved and his actions soon disappeared from people’s memories. That’s all changed in 1988 when his wife Grete found a forgotten journal at home. The journal contained photos and names of the children and addresses of the families that took them in. She sent the journal to a newspaper, and that year Winton was seen on the British television program That’s Life. At one point, the host asked people in the audience to stand up if Nicholas Winton had saved their lives. A shocked Winton watched as the majority of people rose to their feet. The program brought-his actions to public attention and Winton became a respected figure around the world.
Nicholas Winton passed away on 1 July 2015, at the age of 106. As the Chinese saying goes, “a kind-hearted person lives a long life.”
4、Why did Winton decide to help the children out

If your next meeting can’t be an email, maybe it can just be 15 minutes. The 15-minute meeting is the fastest-growing block of time that workers and bosses are planning, according to an analysis of Microsoft Teams data, which also shows people are booking fewer hour-long meetings. Fifteen-minute meetings now make up 60 percent of gatherings, proving that executives and employees alike have grown stricter about their time.
Thirty minutes tends to be the common time for many meetings. Jayne Sandman, who runs a Washington, D. C. , branding-and-marketing firm, generally gives people a tight 15. “The death of your day is too many ‘half-hours’,” she says. Sandman starts calls with something warm and exciting, such as “I can’t wait to hear about your weekend later!” Then she quickly turns to business, noting there are only 15 minutes on the docket (议程).
Over three-fourths of employees say shorter meetings are more efficient, according to a new poll of more than 2,000 U.S. workers conducted in September by market-research firm Civicscience. One-third of respondents said they stop paying attention after 15 minutes anyway. For an employee who makes $100 an hour, cutting down 4 of their meetings by 15 minutes is a $100 savings. Shorter meetings can also help employees work less panies that have gone to a four-day workweek say banishing meetings that serve mostly as progress reports is the first step to increase efficient hours out of the day.
Rahim Charania, managing partner of a real-estate investment firm, says the 15-minute block is the standard time, and meetings rarely run over. “It forces everyone to do the majority of their thinking before the meeting.”
8、What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. Arguments over meeting time.
B. Means of attending meetings.
C. People’s attitudes towards time.
D. People’s preference for shorter meetings.
9、Which of the following best explains “banish” underlined
A. Remove. B. Attend. C. Organize. D. Add.
10、How does the author show the efficiency of 15-minute meetings
A. By listing figures. B. By making a comparison.
C. By telling a story. D. By giving definitions.
11、What is the benefit of shorter meetings according to Rahim Charania
A. Workers can earn more money.
B. Workers can stay more focused.
C. Workers will prepare for meetings well.
D. Workers can have more time themselves.
Thousands of emperor penguins in western Antarctica lost their chicks last year, largely due to gradually reducing sea ice, satellite data suggest.
While looking at satellite images in 2022, geographer Peter Fretwell noticed that ice in one area was melting (融化) especially early in the year. He and his colleagues wanted to measure the influence of this ice loss on emperor penguins in the Bellingshausen Sea off western Antarctica. So the researchers looked at satellite images of groups to determine the future of the breeding (繁殖) season. There were 62 emperor penguin groups throughout Antarctica. Of the five groups observed, four probably lost all their chicks, the team reports August 24.
Emperor penguins rely on stable (稳定的) sea ice throughout their breeding season. When an egg hatches (孵化), the newborn chick must fledge (羽化), losing its soft feathers to gain its waterproof coat. But in 2022, sea ice broke up before some groups were finished fledging. Without waterproof feathers, fledging birds were unable to survive, Fretwell says.
Some of those other groups have also experienced bad breeding seasons lately. On Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf, the world’s second-largest emperor penguin group at the time had three years of breeding failure from 2016 to 2018 after storms broke up sea ice there, Fretwell and a colleague previously reported.
The new study, recording breeding failure across several groups at once, “is the first observation that agrees with the worst expectations of what could happen” as the Earth continues to warm, Schmidt says. “I’m worried—it’s not a good sign.” Recent estimates predict (预测) that the changing climate and melting sea ice could cut emperor penguin populations by more than half by 2100.
Although the future of emperor penguins is worrying, Fretwell still has hope. “If we can slow down global warming… we can turn around the future of the emperor penguin,” he says. “But that window of opportunity is getting smaller, so we really have to act now.”
12、What’s Peter Fretwell’s research aimed at
A. Figuring out why Antarctica’s ice is melting.
B. Knowing the effect of ice loss on emperor penguins.
C. Working out the number of emperor penguin groups.
D. Changing the emperor penguins’ future in breeding season.
13、What can we learn from paragraphs 3 and 4
A. The birth rate of emperor penguins is very low.
B. The growth process of emperor penguins is tough.
C. The breaking up of sea ice leads to the breeding failure.
D. The groups all have experienced bad breeding seasons.
14、What is special about the new study
A. It meets the worst expectations of what might happen.
B. It records breeding failure of several groups at once.
C. It predicts emperor penguins’ population will decrease by half.
D. It calls on people to change the future of the emperor penguin.
15、What is Fretwell’s attitude toward the future of emperor penguins
A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
二、七选五
16、Be a Good Tourist
Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals, but it may also bring some problems.

9、答案:A
解析:词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Shorter meetings can also help employees work less hours.(缩短会议时间也可以帮助员工减少工作时间)”可知,此处是在讲述缩短会议时间的好处是帮助员工减少工作时间,并结合划线词后“that serve mostly as progress reports(主要是作为进度报告)”可以推测,如果取消只是为了进度报告的会议,是提高一天中效率的第一步,所以推知banishing应是“取消”之意,和A项意思相近。故选A项。
10、答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Over three-fourths of employees say shorter meetings are more efficient, according to a new poll of more than 2,000 U.S. workers conducted in September by market-research firm Civicscience. One-third of respondents said they stop paying attention after 15 minutes anyway. For an employee who makes 100 $100 an hour, cutting down 4 of their meetings by 15 minutes is a $100 savings.(市场研究公司Civicscience今年9月对2,000多名美国员工进行的一项新调查显示,超过四分之三的员工表示,开会时间越短效率越高。三分之一的受访者表示,他们在15分钟后就不再集中注意力了。对于一个每小时赚100美元的员工来说,减少15分钟的4次会议就节省了100美元)”可知,作者通过列出数字来展示15分钟会议的效率。故选A项。

解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段“Rahim Charania, managing partner of a real-estate investment firm, says the 15-minute block is the standard time, and meetings rarely run over. “It forces everyone to do the majority of their thinking before the meeting.”(一家房地产投资公司的管理合伙人查拉尼亚(Rahim Charania)说,15分钟是标准时间,会议很少超时。“它迫使每个人在开会前做大部分的思考。”)”可知,根据拉希姆·查拉尼亚的说法,缩短会议的好处是它迫使每个人在开会前做大部分的思考,也就是为会议做好准备。故选C项。
12、答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“While looking at satellite images in 2022, geographer Peter Fretwell noticed that ice in one area was melting (融化) especially early in the year. He and his colleagues wanted to measure the influence of this ice loss on emperor penguins in the Bellingshausen Sea off western Antarctica.(在观察2022年的卫星图像时,地理学家彼得·弗雷特韦尔(Peter Fretwell)注意到,一个地区的冰正在融化,尤其是在今年早些时候。他和他的同事们想要测量这种冰的损失对南极洲西部别林斯高森海的帝企鹅的影响)”可知,Peter Fretwell的研究目标是了解海冰消融对帝企鹅的影响。故选B项。
13、答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段“Emperor penguins rely on stable (稳定的) sea ice throughout their breeding season.(帝企鹅在整个繁殖季节都依赖稳定的海冰)”以及第四段“Some of those other groups have also experienced bad breeding seasons lately. On Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf, the world’s second-largest emperor penguin group at the time had three years of breeding failure from 2016 to 2018 after storms broke up sea ice there, Fretwell and a colleague previously reported.(其他一些种群最近也经历了糟糕的繁殖季节。弗雷特韦尔和一位同事此前报道称,在南极洲的布伦特冰架上,当时世界上第二大帝企鹅群在2016年至2018年的三年里,由于风暴打破了那里的海冰,繁殖失败)”可知,这两段主要讲述了海冰的破裂导致了繁殖的失败。故选C项。
14、答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The new study, recording breeding failure across several groups at once, “is the first observation that agrees with the worst expectations of what could happen” as the Earth continues to warm, Schmidt says.(这项新研究同时记录了几个种群的繁殖失败,施密特说,随着地球继续变暖,“这是第一个与最坏预期一致的观察结果”。)”可知,这项新研究的特别之处是它达到了最坏的预期。故选A项。
15、答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although the future of emperor penguins is worrying, Fretwell still has hope. “If we can slow down global warming… we can turn around the future of the emperor penguin,” he says. “But that window of opportunity is getting smaller, so we really have to act now.”(尽管帝企鹅的未来令人担忧,但弗雷特韦尔仍然抱有希望。“如果我们能减缓全球变暖……我们就能扭转帝企鹅的未来,”他说。“但机会之窗正在变得越来越小,所以我们真的必须现在就采取行动。”)”可知,Fretwell仍然抱有挽救希望,所以他对于帝企鹅的未来,态度是积极的。故选D项。
16、答案:①-⑤FBGCA
解析:本文是说明文。文章主要讲述旅游业在带动当地经济发展的同时也会产生诸多问题。文章建议我们在旅游时尽可能做最好、最友善、最懂礼貌的游客。
①分析设空,位于段首,应是本段的中心句,根据后文“Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK and many, many other places.(游客们在埃及的卢克索神庙、罗马的斗兽场、英国的巨石阵和许多其他地方用颜料、石头甚至钥匙写字)”可知,游客想要证明自己来过,而破坏了景点,所以F项“One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited a destination.(一个日益严重的问题是游客想要证明他们已经参观了一个目的地)”符合本段主题,可作为本段中心句。故选F项。
②根据前文“Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK and many, many other places.(游客们在埃及的卢克索神庙、罗马的斗兽场、英国的巨石阵和许多其他地方用颜料、石头甚至钥匙写字)”以及后文“If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someone’s life with kindness and love.(如果你想在世界上留下印记,那就用善良和爱去改变别人的生活)”可知,空处应是过渡句,又游客的行为过渡到,作者劝诫这种行为,所以B项“I have three words for people like this: please stop it.(对于这样的人,我只有三个字:请停止)”符合文意,起到承接上下文的作用。故选B项。
③分析设空,位于段首句之后,应是对前句的进一步说明,根据前文“Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing (打扰) the local people and life.(在一些地方的另一个大问题是游客扰乱了当地的人民和生活)”可知接下来会列举一些游客扰乱了当地的人民和生活的例子,G项“Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without their permission.(一些游客在未经允许的情况下四处游荡并拍摄当地人的照片)”是对前文的进一步说明,符合文意。故选G项。
④根据前文“For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students, and disturbing their studies.(例如,泰国清迈大学和韩国延世大学有大量游客参观他们的校园,穿过他们的图书馆和其他公共区域,给学生拍照,干扰他们的学习)”以及后文“Some tourists love to party there late into the night, making it difficult for locals to sleep.(一些游客喜欢在那里聚会到深夜,这让当地人难以入睡)”可知,此处是在举例,后文描述的和前一个例子不搭,所以应该是另一个例子,所以C项“Another example is Sanlitun, a neighbourhood in Beijing, China.(另一个例子是中国北京的三里屯)”符合文意。故选C项。
⑤分析设空,位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“The number of problems from tourists is endless. The only way to solve the problem of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one!(来自游客的问题数不胜数。解决这个问题的唯一方法就是确保你不是一个可怕的游客!)”所以下文应该是提出建议,A项“Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible.(
17、答案:B
解析:考查动词词义辨析。句意:我的父母遇到了第一个无家可归的人。A. respected尊重;B. met遇见;C. invited邀请;D. hired雇用。根据前文“Every year my parents go out to the streets of San Francisco to hand out gifts, sleeping bags and other clothing to the homeless in the Winter season.”可知,作者的父母每年冬天都会给无家可归的人送物资,所以此处应是这天遇到的第一个人。故选B项。
18、答案:A
