Question

B
Sydney is Australia’s most exciting city.The history of Australia begins here.In 1788,captain(首领,船长) Arthur Philips arrived in Sydney with 11 ships and 1024 passengers from Britain(including 770 prisoners).Today there are 205 million people in Sydney.It is the biggest city in Australia,and one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
There are over 20 fine beaches close to Sydney.Its warm summer climate and cool winter have made it a favorite city for immigrants from overseas.There are three things that made Sydney famous---its beautiful harbor,the Sydney Harbor Bridge,and the Sydney Opera House.
But there are many more interesting things in Sydney,beautiful shops and restaurants,for example,rows of interesting old houses built in the 19th century,and everywhere,the sea,summer or winter,day or night,Sydney is an outdoor city.
