二、阅读理解
Australia is not a hot country all the year round. Remember the seasons are different when you're going from China. This means:
● If it's summer in China, it's winter in Australia.
● If it's autumn in China, it's spring in Australia.
● If it's winter in China, it' s summer in Australia.
● If it's spring in China, it's autumn in Australia.
So the hottest months in Australia are December, January and February. In these months, you may want to go southern countries to escape the hot weather. The coldest months are June, July and August - a perfect time to visit here. When the wet season runs in many of the northern countries from November to April, Townsville (汤斯维尔) in Australia also has a wet season. But it is shorter, usually from mid-December to the end of March. From June to August, the capitals(首都) in the southern of the world usually receive their heaviest rainfalls(降雨量).
Plan your journey well before you visit Australia.
（ ）1. When it is summer in Guangzhou, what season is it in Australia?
A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter.
（ ）2. Lily likes cold weather, and she wants to visit the north of Australia. Which months should she go EXCEPT ________?
A. May B. June C. July D. August
（ ）3. What does the underlined word "escape" mean?
A. 享受 B. 寻找 C. 逃避 D. 度过
（ ）4. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Many people may want to go to the southern countries in January.
B. The wet season in the northern countries is from November to March.
C. The wet season in Townsville is shorter:
D. There is much rain in June in the southern countries.
