This is not healthy in our opinion.”IIT-Mumbai, with about 5000 students, is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students, Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses t help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.“Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. at IIT-Mumbai’s 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells.” Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby to go to sleep.” said Rajiv, an electronics student.21.According to the text, the students addicted to the Internet in IIT-Mumbai are likely to ______A. perform well in studiesB. participate in social activitiesC. know their classmates betterD. feel lonely and even suicidal22.The underlined word “dysfunctional” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “___”.A. unpopularB. meaningfulC. abnormalD. exciting23.What measures have been taken in IIT-Mumbai?A. Students must go to bed before 11 p.m..B. Students are forbidden to surf the Internet on campus.C. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their dormitories.D. Internet access is unavailable in deep night in boarding buildings.24. We may infer from the last paragraph that ____.A. all electronics students hate the banning orderB. some students complain about the banning orderC. there is no Internet access on the IIT campus ever sinceD. more students prefer listening to music to surfing the InternetBWhat will power your house in the future? Nuclear, wind, or solar power? According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in the US, it might be leaves ---but artificial(人造的)ones.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis. Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts. Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell, which uses those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house or beside the house.Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said Nocera at a conference of the Ameri can Chemical Society.The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf, by contrast, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements come from Nocera’s recent discovery of several powerful, new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now, the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one . Besides, the device can run in whatever water is available; that is, it doesn’t need pure water. This is important for some countries that don’t have access to pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”, scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used in developing countries, specially in India and rural China.25.Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce electricity?A. artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenB. the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellC. the artificial leaves are put in waterD. the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityA. c,a,b,dB. c,b,a,dC. b,c,a,dD. c,a,d,b26.The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaf is to____A. build up more power stations in the worldB. provide cheaper energy for developing countriesC. offer people in developing countries access to pure waterD. gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process27. The main idea of this passage is ______A. an introduction to the history of artificial leavesB. a mixture of water power and solar energyC. giving energy to the poorD. an invention copying photosynthesisCIn December, 2010, many American newspapers publish a list of the best books of the year. Freedom by Jonathan Franzen is one of the most repeatedly praised books on this year’s list of favorites. It tells about the ups and downs of the Berglund family over many years. Mr. Franzen fills the book with sharp observations about American politics, culture and society.Jennifer Egan’s book A Visit from the Goon Squad takes place in 13 chapters over 40 years. The story moves back and forth in time, from different viewpoints. One main character is former rock musician Bennie Salazar who works for a record company. The other main character is a troubled young woman named Sasha who works for Bennie. The reader learns about their pasts and those of their friends.The main character in The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman is a failing English Language newspaper published in Rome, Italy. Each chapter of the book tells about a reporter or editor working for this paper. Their stories are filled with intelligence and treat personality.Two of the most popular non-fiction books of 2010 were about rock and roll stars. Just kids is by rock singer Patti Smith. It tells about her friendship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe in the 1960s and 1970s before they became famous. Life is the autobiography of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. It is an honest and exciting look at the development of rock and roll and the wild times this famous band has experienced.Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand tells about a man named Louis Zamperini. She tells about his extraordinary survival story after his plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean during World War Two.Stacy Schiff has received great praise for her book Cleopatra: A Life. It tells about one of the most misrepresented and famous women in his story, Cleopatra. She ruled ancient Egypt about 2000 years ago. One critic said Ms. Schiff has brought Cleopatra to life again by unearthing her story from centuries of lies.28. The following books are related to music EXCEPT____A. The ImperfectionistsB. A Visit from the Goon SquadC. Just kidsD. Life29. If your major is the history of ancient Africa, you may pay attention to____A. Freedom by Jonathan FranzenB. Unbroken by Laura HillenbrandC. The Imperfectionists by Tom RachmanD. Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff30.Which book will give you a practical understanding of the USA?A. LifeB. Cleopatra: A LifeC. FreedomD. A Visit from the Goon Squad31. The last sentence of the passage implies that_____A. Stacy Schiff is an archaeologistB. the critic finds the character in the book very realC. the critic speaks highly of Cleopatra in historyD. Stacy Schiff tells a story about an imaginary Egyptian queenDI want to talk about the econ omy. Not “the economy” we hear about endlessly in the news each day and in politicians’ speeches. I want to talk about the real economy, the one we live in day by day.Most people aren’t particularly interested in “the economy”. “Share prices are flying hi gh; interest rates are soaring; the Dow Jones Index closed sixty-three points down on 8472.35” We hear this and subconsciously switch off.Notice that “the economy” is not the same as the economy, “The economy” is what men in suits play with to make vast personal wealth. The economy is where the rest of us live on a daily basis, earning our living, paying our taxes, and purchasing the necessities of life.We are supposed to be benefiting from all the advantages of a well-off society. So why do we feel tired and stressed? We have no time for anything other than work, which is ridiculous given the number of labor-saving devices in our lives. Our towns become more and more crowded. We poison our air and seas, and our food is full of chemicals. There’s something wrong here. If times were truly good, then you may think we’d all feel optimistic about the future. Yet the majority of us are deeply worried. More than 90 percent of us think we are too concerned about ourselves and not concerned enough about future generations.The term “economic expansion” suggests something desirable, but expansion simply means spending more money. More spending doesn’t mean that life is getting better. We all know it often means the opposite-greed, crime, poverty, pollution. More spending merely feeds our whole economic system, which is based on production and consumption. Unless money keeps circulating,the economy breaks down. If we don’t keep consuming, the whole system goes into stalemate. How do we break the cycle and make some changes? We need to become far more aware of the results of our actions. We buy clothes that are made in sweat shops by virtual slaves in poor parts of the world. We create mountains of waste. We demand cheap food, mindless of the fact that it totally lacks taste and is produced using chemicals that poison the land.The consumption culture makes us unaware of the effect of our own behavior. Our main problem is not tha t we don’t know what to do about it. It is gathering the desire to do it.32. According to the author, which one belongs to the real economy?A. The Dow Jones Index.B. Increases in interest rates.C. Shopping in a supermarket.D. Skyrocketing share prices.33.It can be concluded from Paragraph 4 that____.A. people are benefiting from a well-off societyB. the future generation is a big concern for most peopleC. the majority of people are optimistic about the futureD. people still feel much pressure despite labor-saving devices34. What is TRUE about economic expansion?A. It may lead to some social problems.B. It guarantees a better life for us.C. It will stop the circulation of money.D. It has only brought desirable effects.35. The author writes the passage mainly to___.A. suggest a solution for over-consumptionB. call on us to change our behaviorC. make a distinction between two economiesD. inform us of the effects of economic expansion第二部分：七选五Flash Mob: The Pop CultureIf you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don’t need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob. Who are they? Are they mobs (暴民)?71 . Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly separate.A flash mob is usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks. 72 . At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some tasks such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive.Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003 at Macy’s department store. More than one hundred people stepped onto the ninth floor carpet department of Macy’s department store, gathering around an expensive carpet. Following this flash mob, about 200 people flooded the lounge of the Hyatt hotel and applauded for about fifteen seconds. 73 Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing, but it might also frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. 74 . They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.75 People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered outside the railway station in Liverpool. They we re singing and dancing Michael’s famous song “Beat It” together. And in another example, some people took part in a flash mob to tell more people not to use negative words.Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.A.Don’t be confused by their name.B.People are attracted by the silly and harmless activities.C.The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.ing mobile phones, the flash mob can change their gathering place.E. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises.F.The messages may be forwarded to friends, who forward to more people.G.Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、 B 、C 、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I still remember the time when 3 classmates and I teamed up to do a presentation project. At the very beginning, we couldnt agree with each other about what topic to choose, as we each had our own fancy ideas. Later , we had a heated discussion to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the topics we came up with. Finally, we settled our disagreement and made our final choice. It turned out that the topic we chose proved to be unique and won high praise from the teacher and other classmates.From this experience I learned that when teaming up, we should put the interest of the team in the first place. Only in that way can we cooperate well. (118) 听力原文Text 1W: How long will it take this letter to get to Arkansas?M: First class?

Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passag e there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill i n each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Like the soap opera, the talk show is an invention of twentieth century broadcasting. It takes a very old form of communicati on— 51 , and transforms it into a low cost but 52 popul ar form of information and entertainment through the practices and technologies of television.Television talk shows have been 53 since the dawn of the medium, crossing over like so many shows from its origins on radio. Thus, the start of talk shows’ golden age can be consid ered in 1948, 54 the television wasn’t common in America n homes until the 1950s. Since 1948, hundreds of talk shows have come and gone, with only a few having true staying power.Television talk shows are highly 55 to the topics of the soc ial and cultural moment. These topics may 56 passing fas hions or connect to deeper preoccupation. An important 57 of television talk show is that it is experienced in the present t ense. This is true 58 the show is live or taped “as- if live” in front of a studio audio audience. Live, taped or shown in “reru ns”, talk shows are conducted, and viewers 59 in them, as if host, guest and viewer occupy the same moment.Oprah Winfrey has become, financially, the most successful t alk show host on television. As a child, she was under her fat her’s strict discipline. Her father 60 her to read a book and write a book report each week. “As strict as he was,” says Op rah, “he wanted me to make the best of my life, and would not accept anything 61 what he thought was my best.”Winfrey was 62 one of the 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century by Time magazine. Her influence 63 to t he publishing industry when she began her on-air book club.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.A“Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it’s a girl.”Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring fort h a different response from every man who hears these words . Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others w orry, wondering whether they will be good father. Although the re are some men who like children and may have had conside rable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mot hers have been planning and looking forward to children for s ome time. For other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly. Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that t he shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult t ask. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educ ate fathers in this resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recen tly has literature focused on the role of a father.It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father’s r ole, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition th e wife must make to the mother’s role. The mother’s role see ms to require a complete transformation in daily routine and hi ghly innovative adaptation, on the other hand, the father’s role is less demanding and immediate.66. According to the author, being a father __________.A. brings a feeling of excitement to most menB. has a different meaning for those who have daughtersC. makes some men feel proud and others uneasyD. means nothing but more responsibilities67. It is stated in the passage that ________.A. some parents are not prepared to have a childB. young couples do not like children at allC. working couples do not have much time to take care of thei r childrenD. many parents look forward to having a boy as their first chil d68. The transition to the mother’s role requires that the wife __ ________.A. change her life style in a highly innovative wayB. make a complete change to deal with the new situationC. stay at home to take care of the babyD. help her husband in his resocialization process69. Some writers argue that with respect to the change of role s, fathers, compared with mothers, ________.A. have to shoulder more burdensB. have to make more difficult adaptationsC. have an easier job to doD. can usually do a better jobBLooking for a NANNY to care for your young ones?

A lot! On a cle ar night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousand s of sparkling stars.You can see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where before you only saw dark space. You might see that m any stars look larger than others. You might see that some st ars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigg er telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail.But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won’t see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year.That’s because they’re invisible. They’re the mysterious dead stars called black holes.You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our S un is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn’t seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when t he gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die.As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If t he star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball c alled a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashin g inward until it’s packed together tighter than anything in the universe.Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. That’s how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is pack ed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? It ’s the same force that pulls you down when you jump – the for ce called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its grav ity sucks in everything – even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. That’s why you see nothi ng but blackness.So the next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: ther e’s more in the sky than meets the eye! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes – the great mystery of space.74. According to the article, what causes a star to die?A. As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.B. It collides with other stars.C. It can only live for about a million years.D. As its gases run out, it cools down.75. Which of the following statements is NOT a fact?A. Black holes are dead stars.B. There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole.C. Black holes are invisible.D. Black holes have gravity.76.Which of the following is NOT a feature of a black dwarf?A. It is usually bigger than a white dwarf.B. It is dark.C. It is smaller in size than a common star.D. It is cold.77. Why can’t you see light when you look at a black hole?A. For most black holes are so far away.B. As the star’s gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light.C. As a star cools, its outer layers pull in toward its center.D. The gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the ligh t inward.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the que stions or complete the statements in the fewest possible word s.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child 's acquisition of each new skill——the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the begi nning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the c hild beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dang erous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a t oilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to lear n to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads . On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, o r without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthu siasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; oth ers are severe over time of coming home at night or punctualit y for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the ne eds of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growin g child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. Toforbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is bett er than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise w hat they teach, their children may grow confused, and emotio nally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themsel ves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their pa rents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappo intment.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in N o More Than Ten Words.)78. What may a child suffer, if he is encouraged to read before he knows the meaning of thewords? _______________________________________________ _______________________.79. A child who is not given enough learning opportunities wil l ___________________________.80. The fact that parents are greatly different in strictness tow ards children is due to __________________________________ _________________________________________.81. What are the two principles parents should adopt to devel op children' s moral standards?_____________________________________________________ ______________________.第Ⅱ卷I.

As a Senior 2 student , I felt very proud and was greatly honored to take part in the voluntary work.Two months before the anniversary, we spent several weeks training for the volunteer services, learning about the reception etiquette. We also had to getfamiliar with the history of our school and all parts of our campus. In addition, we were trained to know the cultures of different places since our guests were from all parts of the world.That day(Oct20th) , our work began around 7:00 a. m. and ended about 15:00 p. m. We greeted all the guests and guided them to the registering places, then led them to their seats and answered all their questions. Most of the guests were curious about our school nowadays and I always tried my best to introduce to them.Through my services for the anniversary, I now know more about our school. More importantly, I have learned to help and understand different people and learned to be a more unselfish person. Last but not least, I have made up my mind to make every effort for my future and our school. This will be the most precious memory in my life.考生们只要加油努力，就一定会有一片蓝天在等着大家。

Once, long ago, there was a man who traveled from Persia to India on foot. He had 1 been to India before. When he arrived at a village, he happened upon a fruit stand.

But this is illogical.

Of course, things have changed and life is very different. Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娱乐) of young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.People are now largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.21. According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060?A. Many tourists.B. Many other animals.C. Many plants.D. A sea.22. What will people eat then according to the passage?A. Biscuits in pill form.B. Foods in pill form.C. Foods in water form.D. Foods in gas form.23. The passage tells us that in 2060, ________ on the earth than now.A. there are fewer populationB. there are more pestsC. there is less waterD. the crops are getting better24. Why are people largely vegetarians in 2060?A. Because they don’t eat meat.B. Because doctors advise them not to eat meat.C. Because the number of animals decreases.D. Because all the animals have died of diseases.BOld BearKevin Henkes (2008), under 40 pagesTarget Audience: PreschoolersPrice: $3.8Content: It is snowing really hard and Old Bear is getting ready for his long nap.

But then came Avatar, the first must-see movie in 3D.But since Avatar, 3D cinema has struggled. In 2010, several 3D movies bombed at the box office. And by late 2010, some people said the technology was dead. Of course, this isn’t the first time Hollywood has stru ggled technology. Although sound was added to movies in the late 1920s, it took audience time to get used to the new technology. But in the end, sound and color became the standard. James Cameron,director of Avatar, thinks we’re going through the same pro cess with 3D.Some day cinemas are charging too much for 3D movies. In the Us, seeing a 3D movie can cost up to $7.5 more than seeing it in 2D. Also, a recent study at California State University has found audience don’t actually enjoy movies in 3D any more than in 2D. Walter Murch, a famous movie editor, wrote in 2011 that human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.But James Cameron disagrees. In fact, he recently predicted that in five years all movies will be in 3D. And there are signs that 3D is fighting back. More 3D movies were put on the market in 2012 than ever before. The Lion King 3D recently made over $150 million at the box office, and Cameron’s Titani c 3D made even more.Who knows what the future holds for 3D? Steven Spielberg recently said, “ I’m hoping 3D gets to a point where people don’t notice it because then it just becomes another tool and helps tell a story.”29. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that in 2010, 3D movies ________.A. were not successfulB. became popularC. developed quicklyD. were of poor quality30.The example of sound and color is used mainly to show that ______.A. Hollywood tends to absorb what is newB. 3D technology takes time to be acceptedC. Hollywood struggles with new technologyD. high technology helps to make better movies31. In Walter March’s opinion, 3D movies_______.A. bring movie makers great profits.B. are more expensive than 2D movies.C. do great harm to people’s health.D. are unsuitable for people to watch.32. What can we learn from the text?A. Avatar was the first 3D movies.B. 3D cinema has existed for years.C. Titanic 3D has made the most money.D. 2012 witnessed the coming of 3D’s time.DGiven Australia’s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous (同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and the country people. Almost 90 per cent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country’s youth. In c ontrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have“ridden on the sheep’s back”, a reference to wool being the country’s main money earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Mu ch of Australia’s relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a self-deprecating sense of humor. On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings.Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia’s l iberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Austr alia is a ‘blend of nations’ and although some racism exists,it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.33.
