问题 In 1788, Australia was settled by the British as a colony founded

选项 A、to receive free settlers.
B、to supply Britain with wool and food.
C、to receive convicts from Britain.
D、to expand the British imperial power.

答案C

解析 考查澳大利亚概况。1768年,库克船长(Captain Cook)从英国出发前往南太平洋,展开一次探险行动,发现澳大利亚东部,并在1770年占领东岸一带,开始了澳大利亚的大移民历史。库克船长发现澳大利亚后不久,美国便宣布独立,迫使英国另觅地方流放罪犯,于是英国便在澳大利亚开辟新监狱。流放囚犯的政策至1868年停止,那时罪犯及释囚已占澳大利亚人口的1/9,其余则为自由殖民及土生澳大利亚人。
