The people below are all looking for an island in Hawaii to spend their holidays.After the description of these people, there is information about six islands in Hawaii(A-F).Decide which island will be most suitable for the person mentioned in questions 1-5.
1.Tom hopes to spend his holiday on an island where he can enjoy the beautiful scenery of tropical rain-forests.He also looks forward to having a chance to look at an active volcano because he has never seen one as a geography student.
2.Maggie is interested in biology and she likes all kinds of animals.She wants to visit an island with the longest history so that she can see the most unusual animals.
3.Steven likes to experience the pleasure of riding mu/e and wants to see ancient temples and beautiful waterfalls besides a rainforest.
4.Catherine dislikes modem forms of transport.She thinks it is not good for the protection of the environment.So she prefers an island providing vehicles which bring no pollution to the island.She hopes to experience all sorts of activities.Horse-riding is her favourite.
5.Mike has an interest in the culture of Polynesia and likes the scenery with tall buildings standing on the beach.He prefers to see sunset.
A.Maui is a magical place.It now offers exceptional vacation activities.Experience sunrise at the top of Haleakala Crater, play on championship golf courses, browse historic Lahaina town for pearls and other treasures, and relax at world-class resorts along white-sand beaches at kaanapali, Wailca, Makena, and Kapalua.
B.The surfers and skyscrapers of Waikiki Beach are world-famous, but the USA Arizona Memorial at Pearl Port, downtown Honolulu’s historie Lolani Palace and thriving Chinatown, and the Polynesian Cultural Center also attract Oahu visitors.And sunset at Waimea Bay is unforgettable.
C.The Big Island goes by several nicknames, including Orchid Island, thanks to its tropical rainforests, and volcano island, a nod to still-active Kilauea.The Big Island also includes the 13,792-foot Mauna Kca.
D.Kauai is Hawaii’s oldest and most tropical island.From its far beaches beneath the Na Pali coast cliffs to Waimea, from mystical Hanalei to Bali Hai mountain, this is a place of unequalled beauty.Strange species flock to the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refage, while vacationers prefer the sunny Poipu Beach and Prineeville resort areas.
E.There’s no public transport on the tiny island, Lanai, but you can rent a four-wheeler and drive 100 miles of paved and unpaved roads, past uncrowded beaches.Despite its size, Lanai offers a large variety of activities, including hiking through ancient ruins, horseback riding, golf.
F.Molokai is more undisturbed and less developed than Hawaii’s other islands.Its distant park, Kalaupapa National Historical Park, can be reached by hiking, on mule-back, or by a small plane.Those who drive on Molokai’s coastal highway meet St.Joseph’s church and tropical gardens, ancient temples and a rain-forest, and scenic waterfalls.

Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.
“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density(密度)”,said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope(放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”
Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.
“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”
His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor(半導(dǎo)體). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.
“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶體結(jié)構(gòu)) of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”
Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.
Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?
A. He teaches chemistry at MU.
B. He developed a chemical battery.
C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.
D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.
Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_________.
A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied.
B. to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used.
C. to describe a nuclear-powered system.
D. to introduce various energy sources.
Liquid semiconductor is used to _________.
A. get rid of the radioactive waste
B. test the power of nuclear batteries.
C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries
D. reduce the damage to lattice structure.
According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _______.
A. uses a solid semiconductor
B. will soon replace the present ones.
C. could be extremely thin
D. has passed the final test.
The text is most probably a ________.
A. science news report B. book review
C. newspaper ad D. science fiction story

A four-year study of 200 college students found that those who drink heavily and started drinking at an early age demonstrate poor decision-making skills, just like long-term, chronic(長期的) alcoholics. Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia believe early onset binge drinking negatively affects psychological development.
The researches examined college students between the ages of 18 and 22. After three years, they tested them using the Iowa Gambling Test, which measures the tendency to make immediate (disadvantageous) or long-term (advantageous) choices.
Based on the students’ reported drinking habits, they were grouped into four categories: low binge drinkers, moderate binge drinkers, increasing binge drinkers and stable or high binge drinkers.
“Students in the stable or high alcohol use category, who had longer histories of binge drinking, made riskier and less advantageous choices, which reflect problems associated with planning for the future,” the researchers reported.
The study also found that only students who started binge drinking when they were younger showed impairment on the task.
“There is reason to think that heavy binge drinking during adolescence, when the brain is still rapidly developing, may have some negative legacy (遺傳) on psychological development,” said Kenneth J. Sher of MU’s Midwest Alcoholism Research Center in a news release. “The interesting thing is that if we were to just look at binge drinkers and how impaired they are in the decision-making process as juniors, we’d really be obscuring(使模糊) the important issue, which is how long they’ve been binge drinkers and / or how early they started.”
【小題1】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Four categories of heavy drinkers. |
B.Heavy drinking affects college students. |
C.Early onset binge drinkers are poor at decision-making. |
D.People drinking at an early age will develop into binge drinkers. |
A.Low binge drinkers | B.moderate binge drinkers |
C.Increasing binge drinkers | D.Stable binge drinkers |
A.a(chǎn)dolescent students were not suitable for drinking |
B.drinking too much will slow the growth of the brain |
C.the brain has not fully developed during adolescence |
D.drinking will make the students make dangerous choices |
A.he is quite clear about what the important issue is |
B.if binger drinkers started late, there would be no bad effect |
C.the important issue is how impaired the students are in decision-making |
D.only early binge drinkers will have their decision-making ability affected |

Li Denghai, with his muddy boots and tanned(曬黑的) face, may not look like he is one of China’s famous agricultural pioneers. But the 61-year-old man from Shandong Province has made scientific breakthroughs(突破), which made great contributions to China’s food security(安全). His main work has been in achieving the higher output of corn production.
Li, who holds the world record for the highest output of summer corn, once says, “Corn has a life; it sings and dances. If you listen clearly, it can speak to you.” He started his research in 1969 when he was 20 and just dropped out of a high school. He then read an article which pointed that corn output per mu in the USA was six times higher than that in China. He was shocked and set out to work on just a small piece of land round the clock to see if he could increase the output. He often went to the field with a flashlight late at night, if he had been away during the day. By careful nurturing (照料) he managed to double the output.
Li Denghai was awarded the “China Award for Significant Contribution to the Maize (玉米) Industry” in 2005, and the same year the company named after his own name came into the market on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Li, however, is never happier than when he is in the middle of his cornfields. “I can forget my tiredness when talking to my corns,” he says.
1.When Li Denghai began the study of corn, .
A.he just graduated from an ordinary high school
B.he was shocked that the corn output in China was so low
C.he was only in his thirties
D.he wasn’t really fond of his work
2.The underlined phrase “round the clock” means .
A.day and night B.sooner or later C.face to face D.now and then
3.From Mr. Li’s words in this passage, we can learn that .
A.he is not good at communicating with people
B.he is too tired to go to the corn fields
C.he talks to his corn when feeling lonely
D.he loves his career deeply
