答案
小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:D
小题4:C
小题5:A 解析
试题分析: 本文是给来澳大利亚的游客们提供了一些服务指南和注意事项。共分五部分，介绍了一些户外活动，银行服务的时间和兑换货币的地方，还提醒人们如何去防晒，而且也提到了游泳时候要注意安全，应该在有救生员或者插有安全标志的地方游泳等。
小题1:A。主旨大意题。根据该部分中的首句Take care! Our sunlight is very strong and you can get sunburnt．以及后面的防晒建议可以判断本段中心内容是介绍在澳大利亚其间要注意防晒问题，B选项内容不符合本段中心，故答案选A。
小题2:D。细节理解题。根据文章第二部分内容Banks are generally open ….. and 9:30am and 5pm on Friday．There are currency exchange facilities at all international airports可知如果你是周五下午5：10到达的话银行已经关门了，所以只能从机场兑换外币，故答案选D。
小题3:D。细节理解题。根据文章Staying Safe on the Roads部分 可知人们在停车中心可以看到要求保护动物的建议，故答案选D。
小题4:C。细节理解题。从文章Swimming部分的介绍If there are no flags and no life guards on the beach, talk to local people about the best areas to swim可以判断人们在插有旗子的地方游泳是安全的，故答案选C。
小题5:A。词义猜测题。A建立，树立；B保护；C站着；D注意，发现。文章最后一段是提醒人们要注意那些经常过马路的动物们，根据常识可知提示性的路标应该竖在那些动物经常出没的地方，故答案选A。 考点
据考高分专家说，试题“Welcome to Australia.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。
日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
