Question

【题目】 Going to the beach at the weekend in Australia is a very popular activity, just as much as going to a shopping centre or doing a sport. The Australian Beach Culture is similar to that in California and the Mediterranean.

Australians live by the sea, so it makes it very convenient for them to spend the weekend on the beach. Besides some places that can have winter weather, most of Australia is sunny throughout the whole year. This also provides a good chance for the development of the Australian Beach Culture.

However, when you go to the beach, there are some things you should consider. You should know that because the ozone layer (臭氧层) above some parts of Australia is thin, there is a great danger from the sunlight. The sun here is very strong and it burns the skin really fast. Australia has one of the highest rates(比率) of skin cancer in the world. So if you go to the beach, take hats and sunglasses.

Besides this, there are some other things that you should know. Sometimes the sea seems to be very peaceful, but the currents(水流) in the water can be very strong. So, if you don't know very much about the sea, you should swim only in the safe area between the flags at the beach. By the way, people are not allowed to sell anything on the beach without an official permission (官方许可证).

本文介绍了澳大利亚海滩文化，澳大利亚有适合发展海滩文化的便利条件，在那儿臭氧层稀薄能引起皮肤癌，如果你对大海不太了解，你应该只在安全区域游泳。

【1】根据第一段第一句“Going to the beach at the weekend in Australia is a very popular activity,”可知在澳大利亚周末去海滩是非常受欢迎的活动。故答案Going to the beach。

【2】根据第三段“Australia has one of the highest rates(比率) of skin cancer in the world”，可知澳大利亚是世界上皮肤癌发病率最高的国家之一，结合第三段段意可知，臭氧层稀薄能引起皮肤癌。故答案为Skin cancer。

【3】根据最后一段“if you don't know very much about the sea, you should swim only in the safe area between the flags at the beach.”，可知“如果你对大海不太了解，你应该只在海滩上旗子之间的安全区域游泳。”故答案为Only in the safe area between the flags at the beach。

【4】根据文章最后一段“people are not allowed to sell anything on the beach without an official permission (官方许可证).” 可知，在没有官方许可的情况下，人们不得在海滩上出售任何东西，所以想要出售东西，需要“官方许可”。故答案为An official permission。

【5】根据第二段“Australians live by the sea,”，及“most of Australia is sunny throughout the whole year.”可知澳大利亚人住在海边，全年天气晴朗。“This also provides a good chance for the development of the Australian Beach Culture.” 这为澳大利亚海滩的开发提供了一个很好的机会。故答案为Because Australians live by the sea and most of Australia is sunny throughout the whole year。
