解答 36-40.DFEGC
36.D 第一段2、3句陈述澳洲很大,只比中国小一点点,横线后一句The population of Australia is nearly as large as that of Shanghai.说明澳洲人口不多.选项中D项Australia is big,but its population is not large.与前后的语义相一致.故D正确.
37.F 前句The cities in Australia have got little air or water pollution.叙述澳洲空气和水几乎没有污染,F项The sky is blue and the water is clean.正是说明澳洲空气很好,水很清澈.故F项符合上下文串联.
38.E 根据本段第二句we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before.可知珀斯有很多野花.选项中E项Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers.珀斯正是因为野花而出名.与本段的中心思想一致.故E项正确.
39.G 根据横线后描述可知很多绵羊从山上跑下来,弄出了很大的声响.让我们迅速离开.而在这之前我们很悠闲,很开心.和横线前句We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill相一致.故G项符合上下文.
40.C 根据横线前句There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.有很多绵羊朝我们冲了过来,说明澳洲的羊很多.选项中只有C项与上下文匹配.
