Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.
Is Australia the world’s largest island or its smallest continent? Actually, it’s both. In fact, Australia is the only
country that is also a continent. Although roughly the size of the United States mainland, Australia has a
population of about 16.5 million people. That makes this island nation one of the least densely populated
countries.
What ethnic groups make up the Australia population? The majority of Australians are of English, Irish, Italian,
Greek, Dutch, and Polish descent. However, over the past 50 years, some four million people from more than
120 countries have made Australia their home. This includes a large number of Asian and African immigrants.
About one percent of the population is Aborigine. The Aboriginal people were the first settlers in Australia. They
came from Asia about 40,000 years ago.
In addition to being the smallest, Australia is also the driest inhabited continent. Lush green pastures may be
typical in sheep farming areas. However, most of the land, particularly in the Outback, is so arid that people are
unable to live on it in its undeveloped state. That explains why most Australians live in metropolitan areas, many
of which line the coast, and why Australia is considered one of the world’s more urbanized countries.
