Question 1. [A] Read the following passage carefully.
Australia is the sixth largest country in the world, where in the last 50 years large immigrants
have settled, making it a country of mixed races and cultures. The first inhabitants of Australia
were the aborigines.
This island was not known to the Europeans until just about 400 years ago. The Dutch made
the first voyages along the Western Australian coast in the 17th century and Britain sent Captain
James Cook in 1768 to explore the unknown island.
Europeans sent convicts from colonies to this faraway land. They soon found new settlements
here. In 1851, when gold was found in New South Wales and Victoria, more educated, middle-
class immigrants arrived to make a fortune and the beginning of trading soon brought
prosperity to the country. In 1901 all Australian settlements merged to form a nation and
followed the British system of law in governance.
The main industries are agriculture, mining, timber production, fishing and tourism.
Climate here ranges from hot and tropical in the north, to cool and wet in far south. The inland
region of the country is hot and dry, but even the large tracts of desert here are full of life.
Eucalyptus trees are dotted along the deserts and mountains. The world knows Australia for
kangaroos and emus, large flightless birds, similar to ostriches.
