【题目解析】：Most Australians do not know their continent very well because they live on the cool,wet and forested southeast coastland. Australia is hot and dry because of the following factors: Firstly, most of Australia lies 20℃ and 35℃ south. This is a hot, dry area of the world. Secondly, Australia has few mountains. Mountain areas have cool, wet climates but Australia has few areas like this. Thirdly, the air masses that affect Australia for most of the year are dry, sunny, high pressure cells. Finally, distance from the ocean also affects the weather. Most of Australia is far from the oceans.
