10.In March 2014,Australia opened junior high education to Chinese students,allowing them to study in Australian schools from the seventh grade.
"When more Chinese students are going to study abroad at a younger age,the opening of Australian junior high schools offers Chinese students and their parents one more good choice,"Tian Litie,director of the Australian Department of Chist Education International,said at the China International Education Exhibition Tour over the weekend.
Australia will see a rise in the number of Chinese junior and senior high school students studying in the country.Tian showed the reasons for it:lower admission (入學(xué)許可) requirements and low-cost education because of a favorable exchange rate (費(fèi)率).According to Tian,in public schools in Australia a student should pay A13,000to A15,000 (10,000to 12,000)a year.
"Now the exchange rate of the Australian dollar to renminbi is below five,which means the cost is lower than that of Chinese students studying at junior and senior high schools in many other hot places,such as Britain and the US,"said Tian.
Lin Lina from Beijing plans to send her daughter to a senior high school in Australia,was among them.
"My daughter is good at English and would like to study abroad early,"said Lin,whose daughter is now a ninth-grader in Beijing."We came for more information after we learned that the environment and education in Australia are good."
Eliza Chui,education officer for North Asia at the Australian Consulate-General in Shanghai,said that Australia is attractive not only because it provides an environment for learning English,but also because students are trained to have critical (批判性的) thinking and be independent.

分析 本文介紹了澳大利亞放低了對中國初高中學(xué)生赴澳留學(xué)的門檻,這意味著越來越多的中國初高中學(xué)生將赴澳大利亞留學(xué).澳大利亞對于中國的學(xué)生來說有著獨(dú)特的吸引力.
解答 32.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題."Tian解釋了它的原因","它"指上文說的"Australia will see a rise in the number of Chinese junior and senior high school students studying in the country越來越多的初中、高中生將到澳洲就讀",因此C正確.
33.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二自然段We came for more information after we learned that the environment and education in Australia are good."可以知道,Lin Lina計(jì)劃送女兒去澳洲就讀是因?yàn)?她了解了澳洲的環(huán)境和教育好",因此選D.
34.B推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第四段Now the exchange rate of the Australian dollar to renminbi is below five,which means the cost is lower than that of Chinese students studying at junior and senior high schools in many other hot places可知,澳元與人民幣的匯率已經(jīng)低于五,這意味著去澳大利亞留學(xué)成本比去英國、美國等熱門 地區(qū)要低很多,這也是去澳大利亞留學(xué)的一個(gè)優(yōu)勢,故選B項(xiàng).
35.C主旨大意題.本文重點(diǎn)介紹了澳大利亞放低了對中國初高中學(xué)生赴澳留學(xué)的門檻,這無疑將吸引更多的中國初高中學(xué)生赴澳留學(xué),故選C項(xiàng).
