Choosing where to live may be one of the biggest decisions you’ll make when you move to Sydney, but you’ll have plenty of help.
Temporary arrival accommodation
Before you move to Sydney, we recommend that you book a temporary place to stay. Once you get here, you can look for longer-term accommodation.

About a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”
My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”
Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.
The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”
As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.
4．Why did Lori make the call?
A．She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.
B．She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.
C．She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.
D．She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.
5．What impressed “I” by Lori?
A．Lori was good at running recruiting.
B．Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.
C．Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.
D．Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.
6．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.
B．None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.
C．Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.
D．A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.
7．What is the best title of the passage?
A．It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.
B．Facebook’s Biggest Problem.
C．Applying for a Job in Facebook.
D．A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.
This is going to ruffle(激怒) a few feathers.
PepsiCo purposely packs fewer chips into its flavoured chip bags, Hugh Johnston, the company's CFO, told the Associated Press.“There might be an ounce or two less in those bags, ” Johnston said. Actually, it's half an ounce less. Regular Lay's are sold in 10ounce bags; flavoured Lay's are sold in 9.5ounce bags; and both are sold for the same $4.29 price. That might not sound like a lot, but it will sound like a lot with a bit of simple maths.
Americans buy some $1.6 billion worth of Lay's potato chips every year. Much of that is sold in bulk—or merely in bags bigger than the standard ones mentioned above. But let's assume for a second that those 10ounce bags are the only ones Lay's sells. That would mean the company sells more than 372 million bags of Lay's in the US each year—or 3.72 billion ounces of chips, at about 43 cents per ounce. It would also mean that that halfounce difference is worth about 21.5 cents per bag, and about $80 million in total per year.
That number is likely a good deal lower, but it's not entirely unreasonable. If Lay's is charging an extra payment for the smaller flavoured chip bags, it's likely doing the same for the bigger ones, too. That tiny halfounce difference might only mean a potato chip or two to you, but it's probably worth tens of millions of dollars to PepsiCo annually.
PepsiCo confirmed that flavoured and unflavoured Lay's chips are sold for the same price, but not in the same quantity. “This allows us to keep the same price point across the brand, ” Jeff Dahncke said in an email. He also suggested that the chip difference has nothing to do with extra profit.“The reason why there is a slightly higher price per ounce for flavoured chips is the added seasonings(调味品)，” he said. But that doesn't appear to be the case.
Some of the markups are simply meant to make up for the added input costs of cheese, barbecue, sour cream and onion, and other flavourings. But some of them are also there(or not there) to increase the potato chip maker's profits. PepsiCo has a soft spot for its specialty potato chips, because its specialty potato chips are more profitable than its regular ones, according to Johnston.
Perhaps that's why Lay's is getting ready to launch a mass of new specialty potato chip flavours. The launch is part of PepsiCo's annual “Do Us a Flavour” contest, in which it lets customers participate in the flavour creation process.
8．What did PepsiCo do to arouse public dissatisfaction?
A．They raised the price of their flavoured chips.
B．They gave short weight to their flavoured chips.
C．They changed the flavours of their potato chips.
D．They put more seasonings into their potato chips.
9．How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A．By listing figures. B．By giving examples.
C．By analysing causes. D．By making comparisons.
10．Why do Lay's flavoured chips charge more per ounce according to Jeff Dahncke?
A．To make more profits. B．To upgrade their products.
C．To balance additional costs. D．To satisfy more people's taste.
11．What does the underlined phrase “has a soft spot for” in the last but one paragraph mean?
A．Has a say in. B．Has a look at.
C．Has access to. D．Has affection for.
Most of us are already aware of the direct effect we have on our friends and family. But we rarely consider that everything we think, feel, do, or say can spread far beyond the people we know. Conversely(相反地), our friends and family serve as conduits(渠道) for us to be influenced by hundreds or even thousands of other people. In a kind of social chain reaction, we can be deeply affected by events we do not witness that happen to people we do not know. As part of a social network, we go beyond ourselves, for good or ill, and become a part of something much larger.
Our connectedness carries with it fundamental implications(影响) for the way we understand the human condition. Social networks have value precisely because they can help us to achieve what we could not achieve on our own. Yet, socialnetwork effects are not always positive. Depression, obesity, financial panic, and violence also spread. Social networks, it turns out, tend to magnify(放大) whatever they are seeded with.
Partly for this reason, social networks are creative. And what these networks create does not belong to any one individual—it is shared by all those in the network. In this way, a social network is like a commonly owned forest: We all stand to benefit from it, but we also must work together to ensure it remains healthy and productive. While social networks are fundamentally and distinctively human, and can be seen everywhere, they should not be taken for granted.
If you are happier or richer or healthier than others, it may have a lot to do with where you happen to be in the network, even if you cannot recognise your own location. And it may have a lot to do with the overall structure of the network, even if you cannot control that structure at all. And in some cases, the process feeds back to the network itself. A person with many friends may become rich and then attract even more friends. This richgetricher dynamic means social networks can dramatically reinforce two different kinds of inequality in our society: situational inequality and positional inequality.
Lawmakers have not yet considered the consequences of positional inequality. Still, understanding the way we are connected is an essential step in creating a more just society and in carrying out public policies affecting everything from public health to the economy. We might be better off vaccinating(接种疫苗) centrally located individuals rather than weak individuals. We might be better off helping interconnected groups of people to avoid criminal behaviour rather than preventing or punishing crimes one at a time.
If we want to understand how society works, we need to fill in the missing links between individuals. We need to understand how interconnections and interactions between people give rise to wholly new aspects of human experience that are not present in the individuals themselves. If we do not understand social networks, we cannot hope to fully understand either ourselves or the world we inhabit.
12．What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A．We can't be easily affected by strangers.
B．We are connected and form a social network.
C．We have negative effects on other social members.
D．We will not make a difference in a specific group.
13．Why is a social network like a commonly owned forest?
A．It remains healthy and productive.
B．It tends to magnify negative things.
C．It is creative and shared by people in the whole society.
D．What it creates can be enjoyed by everyone in the network.
14．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that ________.
A．whether we are richer depends on the number of friends we make
B．the wealth we possess has nothing to do with individual continuous efforts
C．sometimes our success may be largely due to our position in social networks
D．we won't succeed unless we fully control the overall structure of the network
15．What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A．To introduce the characteristics of social networks.
B．To urge people to understand how our society works.
C．To show the significance of understanding social networks.
D．To explain the possible consequences of ignoring social networks.

The event that stands out in Tom's memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone shouted.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊) through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane suddenly stopped. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed her.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, whom they called Makcik. Jane began banging on Makcik's door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She might have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik's still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She hit against the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”
Paragraph 1:
Tom noticed the flame was reaching up.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help.

本文是一篇议论文。百事对单包风味薯片偷偷减少分量，其辩解说是为了弥补原料上的额外费用，但作者认为并不是那样，其实质就是为了提高利润。
8．
细节理解题。根据第一段的内容及第二段中的“PepsiCo purposely packs fewer chips into its flavoured chip bags, Hugh Johnston, the company's CFO, told the Associated Press.( 百事公司首席财务官休·约翰斯顿(Hugh Johnston)告诉美联社说，公司特意减少了调味袋里的薯条数量。)”可知，百事在单包风味薯片上减少分量，这导致争议。give short weight是固定用法，意为“缺斤少两”。故选B。
9．
推理判断题。根据第三段的内容，尤其是其中的“some $1.6 billion” “10ounce bags” “more than 372 million bags”“3.72 billion ounces of chips，at about 43 cents per ounce” “about 21.5 cents per bag” “about $80 million”可知，作者主要是通过列数据的方式来陈述第三段的内容。故选A。

47．Paragraph 1:
Tom noticed the flame was reaching up. Frozen with fear, he stood rooted to the spot and held Jane's hand tightly. Both of them were coughing heavily. Time seemed to stand still, though they were probably there for only two or three minutes. Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible. Jane tried to protect her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She hit against the door again and again.
Paragraph 2:
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. A sense of strength immediately replaced the fear and anxiety in Jane's mind. She told them Ms. Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their strength. Sure enough, Makcik was inside the room, lying in bed, unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital, where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom were very happy.

About a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”
My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”
Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.
The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”
As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.
4．Why did Lori make the call?
A．She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.
B．She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.
C．She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.
D．She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.
5．What impressed “I” by Lori?
A．Lori was good at running recruiting.
B．Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.
C．Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.
D．Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.
6．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.
B．None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.
C．Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.
D．A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.
7．What is the best title of the passage?
A．It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.
B．Facebook’s Biggest Problem.
C．Applying for a Job in Facebook.
D．A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.
This is going to ruffle(激怒) a few feathers.
PepsiCo purposely packs fewer chips into its flavoured chip bags, Hugh Johnston, the company's CFO, told the Associated Press.“There might be an ounce or two less in those bags, ” Johnston said. Actually, it's half an ounce less. Regular Lay's are sold in 10ounce bags; flavoured Lay's are sold in 9.5ounce bags; and both are sold for the same $4.29 price. That might not sound like a lot, but it will sound like a lot with a bit of simple maths.
Americans buy some $1.6 billion worth of Lay's potato chips every year. Much of that is sold in bulk—or merely in bags bigger than the standard ones mentioned above. But let's assume for a second that those 10ounce bags are the only ones Lay's sells. That would mean the company sells more than 372 million bags of Lay's in the US each year—or 3.72 billion ounces of chips, at about 43 cents per ounce. It would also mean that that halfounce difference is worth about 21.5 cents per bag, and about $80 million in total per year.
That number is likely a good deal lower, but it's not entirely unreasonable. If Lay's is charging an extra payment for the smaller flavoured chip bags, it's likely doing the same for the bigger ones, too. That tiny halfounce difference might only mean a potato chip or two to you, but it's probably worth tens of millions of dollars to PepsiCo annually.
PepsiCo confirmed that flavoured and unflavoured Lay's chips are sold for the same price, but not in the same quantity. “This allows us to keep the same price point across the brand, ” Jeff Dahncke said in an email. He also suggested that the chip difference has nothing to do with extra profit.“The reason why there is a slightly higher price per ounce for flavoured chips is the added seasonings(调味品)，” he said. But that doesn't appear to be the case.
Some of the markups are simply meant to make up for the added input costs of cheese, barbecue, sour cream and onion, and other flavourings. But some of them are also there(or not there) to increase the potato chip maker's profits. PepsiCo has a soft spot for its specialty potato chips, because its specialty potato chips are more profitable than its regular ones, according to Johnston.
Perhaps that's why Lay's is getting ready to launch a mass of new specialty potato chip flavours. The launch is part of PepsiCo's annual “Do Us a Flavour” contest, in which it lets customers participate in the flavour creation process.
8．What did PepsiCo do to arouse public dissatisfaction?
A．They raised the price of their flavoured chips.
B．They gave short weight to their flavoured chips.
C．They changed the flavours of their potato chips.
D．They put more seasonings into their potato chips.
9．How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A．By listing figures. B．By giving examples.
C．By analysing causes. D．By making comparisons.
10．Why do Lay's flavoured chips charge more per ounce according to Jeff Dahncke?
A．To make more profits. B．To upgrade their products.
C．To balance additional costs. D．To satisfy more people's taste.
11．What does the underlined phrase “has a soft spot for” in the last but one paragraph mean?
A．Has a say in. B．Has a look at.
C．Has access to. D．Has affection for.
Most of us are already aware of the direct effect we have on our friends and family. But we rarely consider that everything we think, feel, do, or say can spread far beyond the people we know. Conversely(相反地), our friends and family serve as conduits(渠道) for us to be influenced by hundreds or even thousands of other people. In a kind of social chain reaction, we can be deeply affected by events we do not witness that happen to people we do not know. As part of a social network, we go beyond ourselves, for good or ill, and become a part of something much larger.
Our connectedness carries with it fundamental implications(影响) for the way we understand the human condition. Social networks have value precisely because they can help us to achieve what we could not achieve on our own. Yet, socialnetwork effects are not always positive. Depression, obesity, financial panic, and violence also spread. Social networks, it turns out, tend to magnify(放大) whatever they are seeded with.
Partly for this reason, social networks are creative. And what these networks create does not belong to any one individual—it is shared by all those in the network. In this way, a social network is like a commonly owned forest: We all stand to benefit from it, but we also must work together to ensure it remains healthy and productive. While social networks are fundamentally and distinctively human, and can be seen everywhere, they should not be taken for granted.
If you are happier or richer or healthier than others, it may have a lot to do with where you happen to be in the network, even if you cannot recognise your own location. And it may have a lot to do with the overall structure of the network, even if you cannot control that structure at all. And in some cases, the process feeds back to the network itself. A person with many friends may become rich and then attract even more friends. This richgetricher dynamic means social networks can dramatically reinforce two different kinds of inequality in our society: situational inequality and positional inequality.
Lawmakers have not yet considered the consequences of positional inequality. Still, understanding the way we are connected is an essential step in creating a more just society and in carrying out public policies affecting everything from public health to the economy. We might be better off vaccinating(接种疫苗) centrally located individuals rather than weak individuals. We might be better off helping interconnected groups of people to avoid criminal behaviour rather than preventing or punishing crimes one at a time.
If we want to understand how society works, we need to fill in the missing links between individuals. We need to understand how interconnections and interactions between people give rise to wholly new aspects of human experience that are not present in the individuals themselves. If we do not understand social networks, we cannot hope to fully understand either ourselves or the world we inhabit.
12．What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A．We can't be easily affected by strangers.
B．We are connected and form a social network.
C．We have negative effects on other social members.
D．We will not make a difference in a specific group.
13．Why is a social network like a commonly owned forest?
A．It remains healthy and productive.
B．It tends to magnify negative things.
C．It is creative and shared by people in the whole society.
D．What it creates can be enjoyed by everyone in the network.
14．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that ________.
A．whether we are richer depends on the number of friends we make
B．the wealth we possess has nothing to do with individual continuous efforts
C．sometimes our success may be largely due to our position in social networks
D．we won't succeed unless we fully control the overall structure of the network
15．What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A．To introduce the characteristics of social networks.
B．To urge people to understand how our society works.
C．To show the significance of understanding social networks.
D．To explain the possible consequences of ignoring social networks.

The event that stands out in Tom's memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone shouted.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊) through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane suddenly stopped. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed her.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, whom they called Makcik. Jane began banging on Makcik's door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She might have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik's still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She hit against the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”
Paragraph 1:
Tom noticed the flame was reaching up.

本文是一篇议论文。百事对单包风味薯片偷偷减少分量，其辩解说是为了弥补原料上的额外费用，但作者认为并不是那样，其实质就是为了提高利润。
8．
细节理解题。根据第一段的内容及第二段中的“PepsiCo purposely packs fewer chips into its flavoured chip bags, Hugh Johnston, the company's CFO, told the Associated Press.( 百事公司首席财务官休·约翰斯顿(Hugh Johnston)告诉美联社说，公司特意减少了调味袋里的薯条数量。)”可知，百事在单包风味薯片上减少分量，这导致争议。give short weight是固定用法，意为“缺斤少两”。故选B。
9．
推理判断题。根据第三段的内容，尤其是其中的“some $1.6 billion” “10ounce bags” “more than 372 million bags”“3.72 billion ounces of chips，at about 43 cents per ounce” “about 21.5 cents per bag” “about $80 million”可知，作者主要是通过列数据的方式来陈述第三段的内容。故选A。
10．
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The reason why there is a slightly higher price per ounce for flavoured chips is the added seasonings(调味薯片每盎司价格略高的原因是添加了调味料。)”，并结合倒数第二段中的“to make up for the added input costs(以弥补增加的投入成本)”可知，据Jeff Dahncke所言，风味薯片每盎司要价提高是因为添加了调味品，而百事不足量地包装其薯片是为了弥补由此造成的额外费用。故选C。
11．
词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“because its specialty potato chips are more profitable than its regular ones(因为它的特色薯片比普通薯片更有利可图)”及最后一段第一句“Perhaps that's why Lay's is getting ready to launch a mass of new specialty potato chip flavours. (也许这就是为什么乐事准备推出一大批新的特色薯片口味。)”可知，百事公司卖特色薯片比卖普通薯片更赚钱，而且他们亦准备推出一大批新的特色薯片口味，并举行比赛让顾客参与其创造过程。由此可推知，百事公司对自己的特色薯片应是情有独钟的，画线短语has a soft spot for应是“喜欢某人(或某物) ”之意。故选D。

Tom noticed the flame was reaching up. Frozen with fear, he stood rooted to the spot and held Jane's hand tightly. Both of them were coughing heavily. Time seemed to stand still, though they were probably there for only two or three minutes. Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible. Jane tried to protect her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She hit against the door again and again.
Paragraph 2:
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. A sense of strength immediately replaced the fear and anxiety in Jane's mind. She told them Ms. Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their strength. Sure enough, Makcik was inside the room, lying in bed, unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital, where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom were very happy.

这是一篇读后续写作文。
【详解】
通过阅读所给文章可知，文章主要记叙了Tom和姐姐Jane在家时，楼下摩托车店突然失火。他们冲出门，穿过浓烟，穿过走廊。Jane突然想起了住在他们隔壁的一位70多岁的老太太，想要告诉她让她逃生。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：Tom注意到火焰正在上升。所以后文应该是讲述火烧上来后他们的反应，Tom吓呆了，像生了根似的站在原地，紧紧地抓住Jane的手，他们两个都咳嗽得很厉害。Jane还是坚持撞门。第二段开头是：幸运的是，一些路过的邻居停下来提供帮助。本段应该写他们和邻居一起救出了老太太的经过。
最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
【点睛】
本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：both of, for safety, as quickly as possible等高级词汇；让步状语从句Time seemed to stand still, though they were probably there for only two or three minutes.；定语从句She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital, where she finally came to herself.等高级句式。
