BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhuanet)--- A new hotel concept has been realized in a village in Northern Sweden, which aims to make the simple treehouse become a world-class destination for travellers. The Treehotel, located in a place called Harads, will consist of four rooms when it opens on July 17th: the Cabin, the Blue Cone, the Nest, and the Mirrorcube.Two additional rooms are scheduled to open in October. The long term vision(想象) is even more expansive. “Our goal in five years is to have 24 rooms from 24 different architects,” says Treehotel co-founder Kent Lindvall.The first six rooms were designed by five different architects. The Mirrorcube which stands four meters high and four meters wide, and the walls of which are made with a mirrored glass, has drawn widespread attention as it will be attached to a single tree. “It’s an interesting building. You can’t find anything else like this in the world today. It’s unique(独特的),” says Lindvall. “Everything will reflect in it---the trees, the birds, the clouds and the sun in the forest. So it could hardly be seen in the forest. This is untouched forest and we want to keep it the same way.”Lindvall says the Treehotel’s vision proves a powerful draw, with enquiries(询问) coming in from far and wide. “I think what’s exciting here is that we’re just 60 km below the Arctic Circle. It means there’s a good possibility to have the northern lights in the winter and of course to have the midnight sun in t he summer.”The motto of the Treehotel is “Feel Free in a Tree” and expense will cost up to about $555.50 for two guests in the Cube, which is designed to hold up to four guests.47. The underlined word “expansive” probably means _____.A. costing a lot of moneyB. covering a large areaC. requiring knowledge and skillsD. increasing suddenly and rapidly48. According to the passage, the Mirrorcube is a unique building because _____.A. everything can reflect in itB. it’s large with plenty of spaceC. there is a large mirror wall in itD. it has limited effect on local wildlife49. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The Treehotel is ideally situated to enjoy the natural wonders.B. The Treehotel is a great base to explore the many local places of interest.C. Travellers can have a relaxed holiday at a reasonable price in the Treehotel.D. The six rooms of the Treehotel was separately designed by 6 different architects.50. Where can you most probably see the passage?A. In a newspaper.B. In a magazine.C. In a website.D. In a science journal.【参考答案】47—50、BAAC阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

It's an interesting and original form of tourism which will no doubt revolutionize real travel, and even make actual life somewhatdifferent.On the banks of the River Rin, in the city of St. Alban, you can now take a half virtual, half real tour on horseback with the help of a piece of electronic equipment, earphones, and a science-fiction style visor (面罩) which contains a small camera. This modern equipment is called Life Clipper. It is the original idea of both Swiss inventor Jan Torpus, who studied in Barcelona, and German technology expert Nikolas Neecke.According to the instructions for the Life Clipper, once a tourist is equipped, he'll need a guide to assist him to get used to seeing the world8through the visor. Once on the Rin riverbank, the tourist starts his journey with the sounds of the water, which are created by sensors(传感器).From here the tourist travels on foot to theSt. Alban neighborhood, feeling and sensing the view with his hands, nose and mouth. What he sees are images between the year 1000 and the year 1500: carriages, princes, etc.This project sounds like something from science fiction and it looks funny when people in a visor try to touch a horse which isn't there. So far, this tourism has been a success only in Basilea, and will be introduced anywhere else in the world in the near future.This is a fun and unusual way of travelling. Surely it won't be long before we see a new and improved form of Life Clipper - one that isn't just for sightseeing, but also for other parts of our life. For example, instead of taking a bus to the office or university, we just sit at home and put on the visor, feeling as if we were m a different place, and virtual work becomes reality.41.

Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera.During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.AllI remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had setdown in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures andnotes.Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves. 1.Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.A.observing her school routineB.expressing her satisfactionC.impressing her classmatesD.preserving her history解析细节理解题。

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of areas for burying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary. There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.1. What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.2. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show .A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging overuse3. According to the text, recycling .A. helps control the greenhouse effectB. means burning packaging for energyC. is the solution to gas shortageD. leads to a waste of land4. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.5. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B. Needless material is mostly recycled.C. People like collecting recyclable wastes.D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.【参考答案】1-5 DDACAAAt one time it was the dream for many little girls to become a nurse.Today, however, America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I. Recently about 2, 000, 000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages largeenough to threaten(= say that you will hurt somebody if they don't do what you want)the quality of care provided. The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field.What has become of these women in white? The answer lies in not one but several causes. One possibility is the fact that woman have greater career options (职业选择). In the past, women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices nursing or teaching. Today, more women than ever are in the work force, but their options have greatly increased. There are women doctors, lawyers, firefighters and police officers. In fact, women today are found in nearly every field of work. Nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status (地位). A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as “merely a nurse”. Teachers may be also at fault. Many high school students are actually being steered(劝导)away from nursing, told by teachers that they are “too bright to be a nurse”.Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention. In fact, the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years. Obviously a larger population requires more nurses. AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care. Usually fatal diseases mean long drawn - out hospital stay, that is to say, more nurses are needed to care for these patients. It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years.21.Why is America facing its worst nurse shortage?A. Because the demand of nurses has been doubled.B. Because more and more women prefer to be teachers and doctors.C. Because women have been provided with many different jobs.D. Because women no longer choose to be nurses.22.The passage tells us that high school teachers are at fault for________.A. not mentioning the worst nurse shortage in the USB. introducing jobs with higher pay and greater status to their studentsC. not asking the government to raise the nurses’ paymentD. persuading the students not to be nurses23.The author wrote this passage in order to________.A. describe the unequal treatment of women in the USB. warn people to pay more attention to the nursing problemC. tell us women’s free choice of jobs todayD. call on women not to be nurses24.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. high school students think themselves too bright to be nurses.B. Women in the US have greater career choice than those in other countries.C. Of all the hospitals in the world 60 percent more nurses are badly needed.D. Nursing used to be a popular job among women.参考答案21—24 CDBDBOne thinks of princes and presidents as some of the most powerful people in the world; however, governments, elected or otherwise, sometimes have had to struggle with the financial powerhouses called tycoons. The word tycoon is relatively new to the English language. It is Chinese in origin but was given as a title to some Japanese generals. The term was brought to the United States, in the late nineteenth century, where it eventually was used to refer to magnates who acquired immense fortunes from sugar and cattle, coal and oil, rubber and steel, and railroads. Some people called these tycoons “capitals of industry” and praised them for their contributio ns to U.S. wealth and international reputation. Others criticized them as cruel “robber barons”, who would stop at nothing in pursuit of personal wealth.The early tycoons built successful businesses, often taking over smaller companies to eliminate competition. A single company that came to control an entire market was called a monopoly. Monopolies made a few families very wealthy, but they also placeda heavy financial burden on consumers and the economy at large.As the country expanded and railroads linked the East Coast to the West Coast, local monopolies turned into national corporations called trusts. A trust is a group of companies that join together under the control of a board of trustees. Railroad trusts are an excellent example. Railroads were privately owned and operated and often monopolized various routes, setting rates as high as they desired. The financial burden this placed on passengers and businesses increased when railroads formed trusts. Farmers, for example, had no choice but to pay, as railroads were the only means they could use to get their grain to buyers. Exorbitant (过高的) goods rates put some farmers out of business.There were even accusations that the trusts controlled government itself by buying votes and manipulating elected officials. In 1890 Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust. Act, legislation aimed at breaking the power of such trusts. The Sherman Antitrust Act focused on two main issues. First of all, it made illegal any effort to interfere with the normal conduct of interstate trade. It also made it illegal to monopolize any part of business that operates across state lines.Over the next 60 years or so, Congress passed other antitrust laws in an effort to encourage competition and restrict the power of larger corporations.25. The Sherman Antitrust Act_______________.A. affected only the companies doing business within state linesB. sought to eliminate monopolies in favor of competition in the market-placeC. promoted trade with a large number of nationsD. provides a financial advantage to the buyer26. One might infer from this passage that lower prices _________.A. are more likely to exist in a competitive market economyB. usually can be found only in an economy based on monopoliesC. matter only to people who are poor and living below the poverty levelD. are regulated by the government27. It seems likely that many Americans____________.A. believed that the trusts had little influence over governmentB. expected the wealthy magnates to share money with the poorC. did little to build up American businessD. were worried that trusts might manipulate the government参考答案25、B 26—27、ADCAt one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp.Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour. In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it.They reached a hill, but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car, but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him. “Good evening,” said the policeman, looking at the car.“Good evening,” said Rolls, holding the lamp.“One of these horseless things,” said the policeman, looking at it with interest.“Yes,” said Rolls, and waited.“I’ve often wanted a ride in one, but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face.“Jump in,” said Rolls.“Thanks,” said the policeman, and did so. “Now,” he said, sitting down, “You can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”28.The policemen were told “to look the other way” so that _______.A. they could watch the car coming from the other directionB. Rolls’s car could go faster than four miles an hourC. they could make sure no one was in the wayD. the car would not hit them on the road29.In what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers?A. They greeted Rolls when the car came along.B. They walked in front of the car with a red lamp.C. They pretended to be attracted by something else.D. They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road.30.The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to _______.A. teach Rolls a lessonB. take a free ride homeC. have a talk with RollsD. have a car ride experience31.After the policeman jumped into the car, Rolls _______.A. dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed toB. could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distanceC. could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journeyD. drove his car as fast as he could down the hill to Cambridge参考答案28—30、BCD 31、BDCenturies ago, man discovered that removing moisture(潮湿)from food helps to store it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind. In this way the North American Indians produce pemmican(dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians make stockfish and the Arabs dried dates. All foods include water—cabbage and other leaf vegetables contains as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria(细菌)which cause food to go bad is checked.Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in California, South Africa and Australia. Various methods are used, but in general, the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun. Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The method of such dehydration(脱水)is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110℃ at entry to about 43℃ at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced(切碎的)meat, and fish.Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them. Usually it is just a case of replacing the dried-out moisture with boiling water.32.According to the text, the open-air method of drying food .A.is the one most commonly used todayB.was invented by the American IndiansC.has been known for hundreds of yearsD.tends to be unhealthy33.Bacteria which cause food to go bad .A.cannot live in sunlightB.are killed by dryingC.are in no way dependent on the water containedD.have their activity greatly reduced by drying34.Today vegetables are most commonly dried .A.on hot and sunny days B.in hot-air chambersC.in the sun and wind D.using the open tray method 35.Housewives like dried foods because they .A.are quick to prepare B.taste better than fresh foodsC.can be packed in a case D.look fresh when cooked参考答案32—35、CDBA。

陕西三原县2016高考英语【二轮】阅读理解基础训练(2)阅读理解Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated(展示)a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has billions of nerve ceils. These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓)to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turn s them into simple commands. “The prac tical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit front. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.71.BCI is a technology that canA. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recoverD. control a person's thoughts72. How" did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles.B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.73. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp → computer →cap→wheelchairB. computer →cap→scalp→wheelchairC. scalp →cap→computer→wheelchairD. cap → compute →scalp→wheelchair74. The team will test with real patients toA. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition75. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries【文章大意】科普说明文。

To Friend or Not To FriendWe all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to education themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject”their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request, “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blowif you do choose not to add them to your friends list.57. From Paragraph 2, we learn that _______.A. parents feel secure about their privacy onlineB. social networks successfully fill the generation gapC. parents have realized the importance of social networksD. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate58. Teenagers may refuse a parent’s friend request because _______.A. they hide something from their parentsB. they are unwilling to be watched by parentsC. their parents tend to fall behind in technologyD. their parents make negative comments on them59.

then that it was 13 just a coincidence that I was wearing the ring that I had on that day.As she 14 talking,I 15 slipped the ring off my finger and placed it in Jennie’s hand.I told her to wear it to

I grew into adulthood and went to college.I had to ride the bus wheneverI came home.Though the bus stopped about two miles from home,Dad never met me,even in severe weather.If I grumbled,he’d say in his loudest father-voice,“That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads.I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety.But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs.I longed for home.When the bus reached a stop,I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge (树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house.Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey,I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home.On that particular evening,the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge,moving toward the house.Upon closer observation,I realized it was the top of my father’s head.Then I knew,each time I’d come home,he had stood behind the hedge,watching,until he knew I had arrived safely.I swallowed hard against the tears.He did care,after all.On later visits,that spot of gray became my watchtower.I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery.Upon reaching home,I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair.“So!My son,it’s you!”he’d say,his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied,“Yes,Dad,it’s me.I’m home.”5.What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?( )A.Admitted readily.B.Explained clearly.C.Agreed lamely.D.Spoke unhappily.6.What

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches, we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg's Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us. Yet we are happyto see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realizedthat we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem.Sharks, in particular, are “in” these days. Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee, killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool.The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction -- up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. Butwe have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United Statesand overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu.In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins.Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stopthe killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing marine life.Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business.The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury(奢侈的)goods has becomea full-scale war. The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Togetherwith international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals.1. The underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.A. followB. keepC. changeD. show2. From the passage, we know _______.A. a lot of wild animals have been killed for productsB. Jackie Chan and Ang Lee make fin soup popularC. Steven Spielberg's Jaws inspires us to protect sharksD. the number of African elephants has been increased3. What can we infer from the passage?A. People have kicked the habit of having shark fin soup.B. Shark fins will not be available any more in restaurants.C. Global efforts have succeeded in stopping killing wild animals.D. More animals for high-end products will be saved.参考答案1—3、CAD2016高考阅读理解。

新闻类阅读理解选练(2)2016高考英语阅读练习——新闻报道类NEWS BRIEF● "New labels to show caloriesThe US government ruled that all food establishments(场所) should put the calorie information of their foods on their menus. Within a year chain restaurants, like fast food KFC, will have to say clearly on their menus how many calories their fried chicken wings, fries, and other items contain. Amusement parks, movie theaters and supermarkets will also have to follow the rules. The move is designed to fight against the problem of obesity(肥胖) in the US.● Antibiotics leading to world problemThe entire world is facing this problem; antibiotic resistance. And the resistance will lead to the deaths of 10 million people across the world by 2025, predicted a new report released by the UK government. Antibiotics are used to destroy or slow the growth of harmful bacteria in our bodies. But overuse and misuse of them can encourage bacteria to develop new ways of overcoming antibiotics, which makes it increasingly difficult for humans to fight diseases.●___________________________________Australia is the world's most expensive destination for international students, according to a study done by Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC). They have to spend an average of $ 42,000 ( about 258 ,000 yuan) a year to study at Australian universities.
