         Imagine that you are the first person ever to see Hawaii. What would be the first thing you would set
    foot on?
         The beach, naturally. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. These
    islands cover l,600 miles and are about 2,300 miles west of California. Most of them are covered with fine
    white sand. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.
         Another wonderful thing about the beaches of Hawaii is the water temperature. The year-round average
    (平均) temperature of the water at the famous Waikiki Beach is 23℃!
         The same is true of air temperature. In fact, there are no real seasons in Hawaii. There is a difference of
    only two or three degrees between the hottest day of summer and the coldest day of winter. That's why the
    Hawaiians don't have a word for weather in their language.
         Perhaps the nicest thing about Hawaiian beaches are the waves. The earliest settlers (定居者) in Hawaii,
    the Polynesians, quickly leamed how much fun it was to ride the waves. They developed a sport which is
    now very popular on the islands called body surfing. You go out into the ocean, wait for a big wave to come
    towards you, jump on it, and ride it all the way to the beach.
         Now imagine once again that you are the first person ever to set foot in Hawaii. What do you think would
    be the second beautiful thing you would notice? Would it be those strange triangles ( 三角形状物) rising out
    of the water hundreds and hundreds of meters high? What are those beautiful things? They are volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands. They made the islands at first. Because of
    them the islands are still growing.
         The most famous volcano on Hawaii is Mauna Loa. It is the world's most active volcano. It has been
    erupting (喷发) for thousands of years. Even when it isn't erupting, smoke comes out of the earth from a
    thousand little holes.
         In 1950 Mauna Loa erupted for twenty-three days. That erupting produced the greatest amount of lava (熔岩) in modem history. In 1960 it erupted again. That time it added a kilometer of beach to the island. Because
    Mauna Loa has erupted so often, it has become the biggest (but not the tallest) mountain in the world.
         These volcanoes could be dangerous to the population of Hawaii. In fact, hello, the second largest city in
    Hawaii, is built just under Mauna Loa. The volcano could erupt at any time. Most people believe that it will
    erupt sometime in the next twenty-five years. But the people of Hilo do not seem worried. They live with the
    danger as part of their lives.
    1. According to the passage, what are the two most beautiful things in Hawaii?
    A. Waves and cities.
    B. Beaches and language.
    C. Volcanoes and beaches.
    D. Volcanoes and people.
    2. Which is NOT the reason why the Hawaiians don't have a word for weather in their language?
    A. There are no real seasons in Hawaii.
    B. The temperature of the water at one of the beaches is always 23℃.
    C. The Hawaiians feel almost the same in the hottest day and coldest day.
    D. There is not much difference in air temperature all the year round in Hawaii.
    3. What should be the meaning of "body surfing"?
    A. Riding waves.
    B. Body-building.
    C. Sea bathing.
    D. Jumping into the sea.
    4. It can be inferred that _______ according to the passage.
    A. volcanoes are more active because the area of the island is enlarging
    B. the visitors to Hawaii can probably see more than one active volcano
    C. Mauna Loa is the tallest mountain in the world because it has erupted so often
    D. people in Hilo are sure that more visitors will come because of volcanoes

    How to be a good detective
    Have you seen the Hollywood movie Sherlock Holmes? Holmes is a character created by British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His books were so popular that Holmes soon became “the most famous detective in the world”. What do you need to be a good detective? The movie Sherlock Holmes will show you.
    In this movie, this great detective faces a dangerous man, Lord Blackwood. Together with his best friend Dr Watson, Holmes stops Blackwood’s plan to control the world with black “magic”.
    Most of us are not as intelligent as Holmes. But we can also work out mysteries on our own. All we have to do is to follow some simple rules.

    小题4:A good detective never jumps to conclusions. When all the necessary clues are put together, you’d better think carefully. If you can’t work it out, don’t be afraid. Just take a deep breath and concentrate on thinking. Logic can help you discover missing clues.

    　　People have been finding Moon rocks and Mars rocks at the South Pole．Why the South Pole? It seems that the South Pole (Antarctica) is a really good place to look for them and to find them．

    　　Part of the reason for this is that Antarctica is a very large slab of ice sitting on a bed of rock. The ice doesn't stay still．It moves，ever so slowly，from the centre of Antarctica down to the coast (海岸)．

    　　When meteorites (陨石) fall on the Antarctic ice，some stay on the surface but most get trapped 　 a few metres down．After all，they do come down with some force and heat!

    　　The meteorites get caught up in the ice as they move to the sea and a few million years later most of them reach the coastine．

    　　On the way to the sea some of the ice passes round mountain ranges where the meteorites get dislodged．In other words，the ice presses them to the surface．

    　　Anywhere else on the earth the meteorites either land in the ocean or cover themselves underground in the soil，never to be seen again．

    　　In Antarctica，the little black rocks show up very nicely against the white background.

    People who live where there are trees and where there is a completely different climate aren't so lucky!

    Carrots are grown on farm and in small family gardens throughout the world. They are easy to grow and easy to harvest. They have a pleasing taste.

    When people think about carrots, a picture of a long, thin, orange- colored vegetable usually comes to mind. But carrots come in many different sizes and shapes, and not all carrots are orange.

    Carrots should be grown in sandy soil that does not hold water for a long time. The soil also should have no rocks. Weather, soil, and age affect the way carrots taste. Experts say warm days, cool nights, and the right soil temperature are the best conditions for growing great carrots. Most people do not know that carrots can be grown during the winter months. If the weather is not cold enough to freeze the ground, you can grow and harvest carrots the same way as you do during the summer months. If the ground does freeze in your part of the world, just cover your carrot garden with some plant leaves or straw. This will prevent the ground from freezing.

    Carrots need time to produce and develop their sugar. This gives them their taste. If they are harvested too early, they will not have enough sugar. However, carrots become wood - like and lose their sweetness if you wait too long to harvest them from the ground. The best way to decide if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its color. Usually, the brighter the color, the better the taster.

    1. Why are carrots widely grown throughout the world?

    A. Because carrots come in many different sizes and shapes.

    B. Because carrots are easy to grow and easy to harvest.

    C. Because carrots can only be grown during the winter months.

    D. Because carrots have attractive colors.

    2. If carrots are harvested too late, __________.

    A. they'll become wood - like and lose their sweetness

    B. they will not have enough sugar

    C. their color will become brighter

    D. they' 11 have a more pleasing taste

    3 .The underlined word "affect" in the third paragraph probably means__________.

    A. make             B. lead             C. get              D. cause to change

    4. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? __________.

    A. Carrots grow better in rocks than in sandy soil.

    B. Carrots will freeze in winter, even though they are covered by straw.

    C. The way carrots taste has something to do with the weather, the soil and their age.

    D. Carrots are grown in water.

    5. The best title(标题)of the passage would be__________.

    A. How to Harvest Carrots                B. Carrots

    C. How to Cook Carrots                  D. Different Weather, Different Size
