填空题Named after an ex-Governor of New South Wales, Sydney is the
State's capital city. Located on the south-east coast of Australia in the
temperate zone, it enjoys a mild climate, averaging 14.5 hours of sunshine per
day in summer and 10. 25 hours in winter. It is also the largest, oldest, and
perhaps most beautifully situated city in Australia. First established by the
British as a convict settlement in 1788, it is a modern cosmopolitan city that
has developed into one of the nation's major industrial, business, and
manufacturing centres. Sydney is home to nearly 4.4 million
people (as of 1997). The suburbs reach out from the city centre and harbour some
55 km to the north, 35 km to the west and 30 km to the south, creating a
metropolitan area of about 3,000 square kilometres. The 57 square kilometre
harbour is one of the largest in the world, and famous for the unmistakable 134
metre high arch of the Harbour Bridge and the graceful sails of the Opera House.
It is a busy waterway with ferries, freighters, hydrofoils and pleasure
craft. Not far from the city centre are the attractive old
residential suburbs of Balmain, Glebe, and Paddington, where many people live in
smart terraced houses. Art galleries, pubs, and restaurants abound in the cosy
streets that tend to be quite narrow, whereas the suburbs surrounding the city's
colleges and universities consist mainly of family homes and multi-unit
blocks-an ideal situation for students looking for a homestay, or to rent.
Sydney's newer suburbs now have a large muhicuhural population, and local
shopping centres reflect the influences of many cultures. As
well as scores of cinemas and theatres throughout the city and suburbs, there
are numerous clubs which appeal to people of all ages, and cater for all tastes.
Pubs are the venue for smaller modern hands, while the big-name popular music
artists, both local and international, attract capacity audiences at the huge
Entertainment Centre in the heart of the city. In Sydney, a
vast array of ethnic and local restaurants can be found to suit all palates and
pockets. In summer, car patrons often sit outside at tables under umbrellas, and
enjoy the passing parade of shoppers. Students who prefer to cook at home can
choose from several large weekend markets, where fresh fruit, fish, and
vegetables may be bought more cheaply than at the local supermarket. Sydney also
has its own Chinatown. In the heart of the city are several big
department stores linked by enclosed over-the-street crossings and underground
walkways. Most noticeable are the towering Centrepoint complex and the Queen
Victoria Building, both containing many shopping arcades, coffee shops and
restaurants. Out of town, in the suburbs, there are huge regional shopping
centres. At the weekend markets, bargains can be had when shopping for clothing
as well as for a wide range of assorted goods. Australia is
recognised as one of the most sports-conscious nations in the world. Sydney
boasts an impressive number of facilities for all types of indoor and outdoor
sporting activities. Wherever one goes, there are golf courses, cricket pitches,
football ovals, tennis and squash courts, and, of course, indoor and outdoor
swimming pools. Avid ice-skating and ten-pin bowling fans will find that these
activities are also popular and inexpensive. Whatever a student
is interested in, it is certain to be available somewhere in Sydney. Outside the
colleges and universities the scope for filling the leisure hours is enormous,
while on campus the choice is equally varied.

jams or waiting for trains to show up at rain-swept platforms. I haven"t noticed any dramatic improvements in my lifestyle either, but perhaps I just have to wait until I get my pension.
填空题 In this section, you will hear a passage which will be read only
once. You are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have
just heard. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
Central bank independence has to do with monetary policy's
effects in the shot run and the long run. In the short run, an " {{U}}(21)
{{/U}} " monetary policy can stimulate the economy to grow faster and to
lower the {{U}}(22) {{/U}} rate. In the long run, output and
unemployment depend on real factors such as population growth and improvements
in technology, and {{U}}(23) {{/U}}. One way to insulate
monetary policy from day-to-day political {{U}}(24) {{/U}} is to give
the central bank greater independence. In this respect, the Federal Reserve or
Fed ranks toward the top among the world's central banks. First,
the Governors on the Board are appointed to {{U}}(25) {{/U}} year terms.
They are nominated by the U.S. President and confirmed by the {{U}}(26)
{{/U}}. Second, the Reserve Bank Presidents are selected by
our Reserve Bank's Board of Directors and approved by the Board of Governors.
This provides further insulation from {{U}}(27) {{/U}}
politics. Third, the Fed covers its own operating expenses, so
it isn't dependent on Congressional {{U}}(28) {{/U}}. However, Fed is
not free of {{U}}(29) {{/U}} to the government. In fact, the phrase
usually used to describe the Fed is "independent within government. "
There is a way beyond such {{U}}(30) {{/U}} means to make monetary
policy even more independent of political pressure to inflate, because the
Congress gives the Fed a clear statement that low inflation is its goal. In
fact, a number of other countries recently gave their central banks specific
low-inflation goals.
