模块6 Unit 2 What is happiness to you

一、阅读理解。

We talk about people being “colour­blind” but very few of us are.Even those who describe themselves as colour­blind are normally just colour deficient.A strongly colour­blind person will still be able to tell 20 different colours，compared to the 100 or so that normal­sighted people see.
Pingelap，a tiny island in the Pacific，is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble.It is known as Colour­blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.
Not being able to see in colour is bad enough.But one islander，Herrol，who's a fisherman，also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt­out image.“I find it difficult to go outside in the sun，” he says，“because when it's sunny I cannot see to do my work.”
But if being truly colour­blind is rare，why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap live in a totally black and white world?
Well，we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami(海啸)．As few as 20 people survived，one of whom was the king.It's believed he had a genetic fault that causes colour­blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.
There is one advantage.Herrol can see well，really well，in the dark.So when it gets dark，Herrol and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish.They hang up flaming torches and the flying fish are attracted to the flames.“This type of fishing is fun，” Herrol says，“especially if we catch plenty.So even though it's hard work we enjoy it.”

【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了色盲岛——Pingelap岛，以及该岛上居民色盲的原因、情况等。

【难句分析】It is known as Colour­blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.
分析：该句为复合句。

句中because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white为because引导的原因状语从句，其中who live on this remote island为who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词so many people。

译文：它被称为色盲岛，因为居住在这个偏远岛屿上的这么多人(眼中)看到的颜色只有黑色和白色。

1．D 考查细节理解。

根据第二段第二句“It is known as Colour­blind Island because so many people who live on this rem ote island can only see in black and white”可知，Pingelap岛因被称为色盲岛而出名，故D项正确。

2．A 考查推理判断。

根据第三段最后一句中的“I find it difficult to go outside in the sun...because when it's sunny I cannot see to do my work”可知，他发现在阳光下无法看东西，所以无法工作；据此可以判断，阳光充足时他可能会待在家里面，故A 项正确。

3．C 考查细节理解。

根据第五段最后一句“It's believed he had a genetic fault that causes colour­blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations”可知，该岛的国王有导致色盲的基因，这是一种基因缺陷，他将这一基因传给了后代，所以岛上的很多人是色盲，故C项正确。

4．A 考查标题判断。

通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了色盲岛——Pingelap岛，故A 项正确。
