What is the population of Sydney according to the passage?
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】 [听力原文] 17 -20 Sydney is situated on the foreshores of one of
the most magnificent harbors in the world. It was founded in 1788 and with a
population of over 3 million. It is the largest city in Australia. Authors have
described it as fascinating, bustling, sophisticated, colorful, exciting. Its
distinction lies in its wealth of natural beauty, which coupled with its
temperate climate provides ideal facilities for outdoor life unparalleled
anywhere in the world. Its 54 km2 of protected harbor waters, its
many narrow winding streets which have followed the bullock tracks of early
days, and its golden sands and glorious surfing beaches give infinite variety
and endless interest to visitors. Its people are friendly and have an
exuberance which expresses itself in sport, the arts, and politics. A dominating
landmark is the harbor bridge, whose arch is some 134 m above water level.
It is just under 5 km long, and provides the main traffic link between the
city and her northern suburbs. An exciting addition to Sydney's charm is the
Opera House which is magnificently situated at Bennelong Point overlooking
Sydney Harbor.
