“
Now I
have grandchildren and they have their own ideas.

Passage Three
For anyone who come to Hawaii, the
people and the land always offer an endless gift
of love
and kindness.
What
are the beauties of Hawaii?
Let
?
s start with four.
The beach, famous for its water
temperature, air temperature and waves, naturally,
is the first
beauty. There are hundreds
of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of
Hawaii. Most of them are
covered with
fine white sand. They are thought to be among the
finest beaches in the world.
Then,
what
do
you
think
would
be
the
second
beautiful
thing
you
would
notice?
They
are
volcanoes, of course. These volcanoes
are not just a part of the islands; they made the
islands in
the first place. 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. Because Mauna Loa has erupted so
often, it
has become the biggest (but
not the tallest) mountain in the world.
What
would
be
the
third
thing
of
beauty
that
the
first
visitor
to
Hawaii
would
notice?
It
probably wouldn
?
t
be just one thing, but many things: all the
wonderful fruit and flowers of the
islands. Sugar cane and pineapples are
Hawaii
?
s biggest exports.
Sugar cane has been growing in
Hawaii
for a thousand years and now Hawaii produces over
one million tons of sugar a year. As
for pineapples, the islands produce
more than any other place in the world, which has
made Dole
Company the biggest fruit-
packing company in the world.
The
fourth
and
most
beautiful
thing
about
Hawaii
is
the
people
who
live
there.
From
its
earliest days, Hawaii
has had a peaceful history. The Polynesians who
came to the islands about a
thousand
years ago believed that a stranger should be
welcomed. They offered strangers food and
comfort, and thought of them as
brothers. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps
this is because
they care more for
human life than they care for the machine. There
is an old Hawaiian law that a
man can
go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants
to. What makes the people of Hawaii so
beautiful is their feeling about
people. There are 64 different combinations of
races on the islands,
and they all live
in peace. They believe
“
Above all nations is
humanity.
”
That is the most
beautiful
thing of all.
26.
According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of
_________.
A.
one
island
B.
twenty
islands.
C.
sixty-four islands.
D.
hundreds of
islands.
27. Why are the volcanoes so
special to the islands?
A.
They erupt often.
B.
They are
growing.
C.
They
actually made the islands.
D.
They are not a
part of the islands.
28. What has made
Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in
the world
？
A.
sugar
B.
fruits
C.
sugar cane
D.
pineapples
29. According to the passage, why are
the people in Hawaii the most beautiful thing?
价格最低，课时最长，师资最强，最专业的学位英语网站
A.
Because they
had a peaceful history.
B.
Because there are 64 different races on
the islands.
C.
Because they care more for people than
anything else.
D.
Because they can sleep in the middle of
the road if they want.
30. According to
the passage,
“
above all
nations is humanity
”
might
mean _________.
A. nations all share
the same humanity.
B. humanity has no
national boundaries
C. nations in the
world all have humanity
D. humanity is
more important than nations
Passage Four
All over the
world, and for many different reasons, there are
millions of people who rarely or
never
eat meat. These people are called vegetarians. To
people who eat meat, being a vegetarian
may seem like a very strange thing, but
most vegetarians are very happy with their choice
of diet.
They chose such diets for
several different reasons.
First,
vegetarians have an enormous health
advantage. One of the major health problems in
modern societies is not too little
protein but too much food, especially in the form
of animal fats.
Medical
evidence
suggests
that
animal
fats,
including
butter,
contribute
to
the
development
of
cholesterol in the human body. High
amounts of cholesterol seem to be part of the
cause of heart
disease. Most
vegetarians have low levels of cholesterol. High
amounts of animal fats also seem to
lead to certain kinds of cancer, and
vegetarians are typically less
vulnerable
to these cancers
than
people who eat a lot of meat.
Overall, studies comparing the health of
vegetarians and meat-eaters
show that
the meat-eaters are twice as likely to die of
heart disease as vegetarians are.
Better
health
is
one
reason
that
people
choose
to
become
vegetarians.
Another
reason
is
religion. Some religions forbid the
eating of meat. The largest of these is the Hindu
religion, which
has about 600 million
believers in the world. Although not all Hindus
are vegetarian, many are,
and there are
many believers of other religions such Buddhism
and even some Christian religions
who
also do not eat meat.
Many vegetarians
do not eat meat simply because they do not like
the taste of it. They have no
religious
or
philosophical
reasons;
they
just
do
not
like
meat.
Another
important
reason
that
vegetarians give for not eating meat is
the health advantages that were given above.
Lastly, there
are many people who do
not eat meat because they just do not like the
idea of killing animals for
food. They
believe that life, all life, is
valuable, and that we do not have to
destroy life to feed
ourselves when
there are other good sources of food.
31. According to the passage, people
choose to be vegetarians for the following reasons
EXCEPT
_________.
A. they
want to stay healthy
B. they are too
kind to put the idea of killing animals
C. they live in areas where meat supply
is not adequate
D. they should not eat
meat due to their religious belief
32.
Which of the following is true according to
Paragraph 2?
A. Vegetarians enjoy a
more healthy life than the meat eaters.
B. Heart disease and cancer are caused
by large amounts of protein.
C. There
are twice as many meat-eaters as vegetarians who
die of cancer.
