Most states and territories observe some of the public holidays on the same date. They have others on different dates or have some days that only their state or territory celebrates. In larger cities, most shops, restaurants and public transport continue to operate on public holidays. In smaller towns, most shops and restaurants close.‎ Christmas and Easter are two of the main public holidays.‎ Some other important national dates are:‎ Australia Day Australia Day, January 26, is the day we celebrate our nationhood. The day is a public holiday. The day marks the founding of the first settlement in our nation by European people.‎ Anzac Day Anzac Day is on April 25, the day the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps(ANZAC )landed at Gallipoli in Turkey in 1915 during World War I. This day is set apart to hold dear the memory of those who fought for our nation and those who lost their life to war. The day is a public holiday. We remember with ceremonies,wreath laying and military parades.‎ Melbourne Cup Day Melbourne Cup Day happens on the first Tuesday of November each year. The cup is a world famous horse race. Most people whether at work, school or home, stop and watch the race on television. It is a public holiday in metropolitan Melbourne. In other places and mainly in the workplace, many people have a lunch or party to celebrate Melbourne Cup.‎ NAIDOC Week NAIDOC Week starts on the second Sunday in July and is a week of highlighting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and heritage. NAIDOC Week is the outcome of a long history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander efforts to bring issues of concern to the notice of governments and the public.‎ ‎1. Which holiday is probably NOT a public holiday nationwide?‎ A. Christmas Day B. Australia Dar C. Anzac Day. D. Melbourne Cup Day.‎ ‎2. Anzac Day was set mainly to______.‎ A.mark the founding of the country B.celebrate an important sports activity C. memorize some heroes in the World War I D. attract governments to some issues ‎3.

The text probably belongs to the section of _____in a news paper.‎ A. History of Australia B. Living in Australia C. Issues in Australia D. Popular Sports in Australia B Some people say the higher you climb, the harder you fall. But those people probably would not be rock climbers.The sport science and art of rock climbing is our subject this week.‎ About nine million people go rock climbing in the United States. Millions more take part in the activity around the world.Some do it just for personal satisfaction. Others compete. Rock climbing can be dangerous. But there are many methods and protective devices that can increase a climber's safety.‎ Climbing takes strength, control and good balance. Climbers have to pull themselves straight up the face of very high rocks or walls. So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight.And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks by only their fingers or toes.‎ There are several kinds of rock climbing. Traditional rock climbing is done outside. Climbers wear ropes and attach devices to the rocks as they climb many hundreds of meters up. They also connect their ropes to the devices. If a climber slips, a rope can stop him from falling.‎ Sport climbing is similar. However, in those cases the protective devices are permanently placed in the rock. There is also indoor climbing. Rock walls made of wood or concrete have places for the climber's hands and feet.‎ Ice climbing is exactly as it sounds. People climb glaciers or frozen waterfalls instead of rocks. They use special equipment for the ice.‎ And then there is bouldering-climbing rocks between three and seven meters high. It is a quicker and more intense kind of climbing. Many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment. Climbers often need only special shoes and chalk. All members use chalk to keep their hands dry.‎ People almost always climb in groups of two or more. Climbing alone, or"solo climbing”, is very dangerous. Expert rock climbers say only the very best in the sport should do it.‎ ‎5. There are _______kinds of climbing mentioned in the text A two B. three C.four D. five ‎6. From the text we can draw the following conclusions EXCEP________.‎ A. there are many methods and protective devices that can increase a climber's safety B.chalk is needed whatever climbing you are taking part in C. many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment D. we had better take part in climbing in groups ‎7. According to the text, which of the following is NOT correct?‎ A. People like climbing just for personal satisfaction.‎ B. Climbing can be divided into indoors and outdoors.‎ C. Climbing is a popular sport around the world. ‎ D. Having a good sense of balance is important in climbing.‎ ‎8. You are experiencing danger in climbing because you______.‎ A. wear ropes and attach devices to the rocks B. wear special shoes and use chalk C. hold on to rocks by only fingers or toes D. climb in groups of two or more C ‎   I first met Paul Newman in 1968，when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn't want me for the film-it wanted somebody as well known as Paul-he stood up for me. I don't know how many people would have done that；they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.   The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors：humorous, aggressive,and making fun of each other-but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core (核心) of our relationship off the screen．   We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back-he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill，and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.         I last saw him a few months ago．He'd been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn't talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words.‎ 9. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first? ______ ‎ A. He wasn't famous enough. B. The studio powers didn't like his agent. C. Paul Newman wanted it. D. The director recommended someone else.‎ ‎10. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship? ______ ‎ A. They were of the same age. B. They worked in the same theater. C. They were both good actors. D. They had similar characteristics.‎ ‎11. What does the underlined word"that"in paragraph 3 refer to? ______ ‎ A. Their support for each other. B. Their care for children. C. Their success. D. Their belief. ‎ ‎12. What is the author's purpose in writing the test? ______ ‎ A. To show his love of films. B. To remember a friend. C. To introduce a new movie. D. To share his acting experience.‎ D When we were very small, we realized that having friends was important. Some of us even had imaginary(想象中的)friends. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens. Friends played a big part in forming our personalities(性格). As adults, it is still important for us to have friends.‎ True friends are people who like us though we made mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we’re foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people we aren’t afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds.‎ Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm. Friends offer acceptance and emotional(情感的)support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.‎ Friends also help us reduce stress. Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.‎ 13. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Importance of Friends B. How to Make New Friends C. How to Reduce Stress D. The Qualities of Good Friends ‎14. The underlined word “stimulate” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.‎ A. educate B. encourage C. surprise D. dislike ‎15. We can learn from the third paragraph that friends always________.‎ A. laugh at us when we’re foolish B. tell us other people’s secrets C. share our sadness and interests D. support us when we need help 第二节 (共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Finding your dream job can be difficult.

With many companies still struggling, job hunters have a very difficult task ahead of them.‎ Don't be disappointed. __16__ Consider using these three methods to find and get the job of your dreams.‎ The Front Door ‎__17__ These include checking company websites and employment services.
