本文主要讲的是在悉尼度假以及节日的各种活动。

故能够在旅游指南上见到此文章。

2.Which of the following sports can a visitor do in Sydney?A.Sailing. B.Surfing.C.Camping. D.Running.解析:B 细节理解题。

根据第二段的第二句You will find beach barbecues,surfing,and diving under the sea very enjoyable. 可知B项符合题意。

3.According to the passage, we can know ________.A.it is very cold during Chinese New Year in SydneyB.the life in the night is worse in holidays in SydneyC.a visitor will own a no longer lonely dinner in the New YearD.a visitor can join in the traditional Dragon Boat Races by himself解析:C 推理判断题。

根据最后一段的最后一句可推断C项表述是正确的。

由第一段第一句可推知A项表述是错误的;由第一段最后一句可推知B项表述也是错误的;文中只是提到有传统的赛龙舟,但没有提到游客可以亲自参加,故D项表述也不正确。

BLiving abroad brings many challenges. One of them is looking for the best way to get used to a new culture while not losing your identity. In this process I have noticed that it's very positive to be in touch with expats, especially with expats from your own country. Why? Read on.I have been in Germany for one year and I have had many experiences. Some of them were more positive than others. But when unexpected things happened, it was nice to meet with other Colombians to listen to their experiences. Through this exchange, I have realized that others have felt the same, and that I am not the only one who has had difficulties. I also believe that they, too, have taken something from my experience.Colombians are really friendly and usually don't have any problems with meeting new people. This has helped me to increase my social network quickly. When I arrived in Germany, I had two Colombian friends here, and I have kept in touch with one of them who helped me to meet other people, not only Colombians.Most likely, if you are a foreigner in Germany, your native language is not German. This is the way it is in my case. My native language is Spanish and I really enjoy speaking it. But it's even better when I can share my opinions, thoughts, and worries with other expats, or when I can talk about topics which would not seem interesting to local Germans. Besides, it's possible to use lines and jokes that only those who come from the same country or the same corner of the world can understand.I like social networks and since I arrived in Germany, I have been connected with other expats through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. On these social networks, I can communicate with others and share my experiences. Meanwhile, I also find interesting information that I don't usually get in other forms of media, such as information about jobs, flats, language courses, offers of Colombian products andevents which are not in the local newspapers.【文章大意】在国外居住,通过跟来自同一个国家的人交流可以让在国外的生活变得更好。
