A
For many years, Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of a sunset over the ocean. In the tropical(热带的) lands, the sun drops, like a ball of golden fire into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow(光) that lights the skies and shines in the quiet water.
People often have a quiet, peaceful time ----perfect for a leisurely(悠闲地) walk along the water. This scene is not too different from the dramatic beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. They were Polynesian people who
came from Tahiti in canoes(独木舟) not much bigger than small boats.
They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no giant hotels like the ones we see nowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper hotels were only built in the last 25 years. Now jet planes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco or Los Angeles. Wherever the people come from, they really want to see the original(原始的) beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountain called Diamond Head which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.
56. Hawaii is a name ___________________.
A. given by people who like to travel
B. attracting a lot of travelers
C. with a magic story behind it
D. liked by both the Japanese and American
57. On these beautiful islands, one thing that every traveler won’t miss is _______.
A. to swim in the quiet water
B. to see the tropical plants
C. to see the sunset
D. a leisurely walk along the beach
58. Which of the following does not belong to “the tropical beauty of Hawaii”?
A. White sand beaches.
B. Waving palm trees
C. Tall hotels
D. The Diamond Head Mountain
59. The last paragraph suggests _____________.
A. the scenery nowadays is not too different from the original beauty
B. it’s not quite easy to see the original beauty, because some of the scenery
is almost hidden by tall hotels
C. it is easy to see the original beauty, but only by taking jet planes
D. it isn’t easy to see the original beauty because things have completely
changed in the last 25 years

Children who see their parents drunk are twice likely to get drunk themselves, a survey of young teenagers has suggested. Poor parental supervision also raises the chances of teenage drinking, said the Joesph Rowntree Foundation. If parents don’t know where their children are on a Saturday night, or let them watch films of violence, they are more likely to have had an alcoholic drink.
The survey also found the behavior of friends is also a powerful factor in drinking habits. The more time teenagers spend with friends, the more likely they are to drink alcohol.
In this survey of 5,700 children aged 13 to 16, carried out by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, researchers found that one in five wanted to have a drink by the time they were 14. By the age of 16, half of those questioned said they had been drunk. Pamela Bremner, scientist of the survey, said, “For the first time in the UK, this study shows what most influences young people’s drinking behavior.”
“It found that the behavior of friends and family is the most common influential factor in determining how likely and how often a young person will drink alcohol.” Don Shenker, Chief Executive of Alcohol Concern, said, “Government ministers must also look at some of the causes of why it is so easy for children to get alcohol,
usually from the home.”
“Governments should look to see if they’ve done everything they can to help the large supermarkets from continuing to sell cheap alcohol which encourages more alcohol sales and therefore results in more alcohol being stored in the home.”
The Royal College of Physicians also said it was not surprising that being able to get alcohol easily was an important factor on current drinking problems and drunkenness of teenagers.
A statement said, “This shows that the government needs to focus more attention on increasing the price of alcohol, and increasing education and national campaigns for both young people and their families on the dangers of alcohol.”
64. How many teenagers admitted that they had been drunk in the survey carried out
by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation?
A. About 5700.
B. About 1200.
C. About 2800.
D. About 4200.
65. Who should be responsible for the fact that some teenagers formed the habit of
drinking besides their parents and friends, according to Don Shenker?
A. Their
B. Governments.
C. Supermarkets.
D. Themselves. teachers.
66.Which methods can help reduce the chances of teenage drinking according to the
passage?
a. Parents should strengthen supervision.
b. Parents should set a good example.
c. The government should increase the price of alcohol.
d. The supermarket that sells alcohol should be punished.
e. We should increase education for young people on the dangers of alcohol.
f. The supermarket should be banned from selling alcohol to teenagers.
A. a b c e
B. a b d f
C. a d e f
D. b c d e
D
At first sight, you would think the collection of hundreds of colored shards(碎片) could be a work of abstract (抽象的) art. But the objects are the contents of the stomach of a sea turtle that lost its battle with plastic pollution.
Environmentalists examined the stomach of the turtle found off the coast of Argentina. What they found is the symptom of the increasing threat to sea turtles from a human addiction to plastic.
Sea turtles often mistake plastic items for jellyfish or other food. Ingesting(摄取) ocean pollution can cause a digestive blockage (消化阻塞)and internal cuts. The result can be dangerous, followed by death.
Humans produce 260 million tons of plastic a year. When those products are pulled into the sea’s currents, the plastics are just broken into smaller pieces which are consumed by marine life at the bottom of the food chain. An examination of a green
turtle found off Florida discovered that, over the course of a month, the animal’s faeces(粪便) had contained 74 foreign objects, including “four types of balloons, different types of hard plastic, a piece of carpet-like material and two 2-4 mm tar balls.”
“The oceans have become on giant refuse bin for all manners of plastics. All sea turtle species may be seriously harmed. ” according to the biologists Colette Wabnitz, from the University of British Columbia. “The symptom of this growing crisis can be seen inside and on sea turtles as well as their oceanic and terrestrial habitats. It is urgently necessary to directly confront the source of plastic pollution, redesign packaging and rethink the very idea of ‘throwaway culture’.”
Almost all marine (海中的) species, from plankton to whales, have ingested plastic. But, even in small quantities, plastic can kill sea turtles, the biologists said. Fifty out of 92 turtles found dead, stranded on the shorelines of Rio Grande do Sul state in Brazil, had ingested a “considerable amount of man-made debris”.
67. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. How to prevent the sea turtle from plastic.
B. Why plastic is dangerous to the sea turtle.
C. Sea turtles suffering from plastic pollution.
D. Protecting the sea turtle from being polluted.
68. The author mentions the “throwaway culture” probably in a(n) ______ tone.
A. praising
B. positive
C. comedic
D. ironic
69. The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means __________.
A. a kind of food
B. a kind of fish
C. pieces of rubbish
D. pieces of cloth
70. The paragraph following the last one will probably talk about ___________.
A. the way the biologists examined the sea turtle
B. some tips on how to make sea turtles avoid plastic
C. how to prevent plastic pollution
D. the reason why we should protect the sea turtle

How to Overcome the Sense of Failure
In the modern society, failure can be made to feel like the worst thing that could have ever happened to a person. The fact is that failure is common. In this article, you’ll learn a little about how to overcome failure through having the right attitude.
Expect mistakes. 71 To expect life to be always smooth (顺利) is not practical. Failure helps to create balance in your life and presents an opportunity for personal growth. Accept the fact that things won’t always go your way. Learn to love finding out that you’re wrong about something. That’s not failure; it’s
the path to finding the right way.
72 Whatever you’re feeling about a fa ilure, keep cool. Look at it this way --- it won’t make any difference to the result itself whether you blow your top or stay calm, but it will take a lot less energy if you choose the latter response. If you’re really angry, channel these emotions to moti vate yourself to start again.
73 It’s not good to bottle up feelings, but you can’t take out your anger on those around you for no good reason. Go for a run or a swim to give yourself space to think. Just do something to distract (使分散注意力) yourself from the strong feelings until you calm down.
74 Not only will your failure soon be yesterday’s news, but if you think other people are judging you, it won’t be long before they’re busy worrying about their own failures. After all, everyone is going to fail now and then. So does it really matter what others think?
Stop worrying, start laughing.The sun will come up again tomorrow. Things might be terrible for a little while but how will worrying help? Think back to a time when you worried a lot. 75 Most likely not, apart from giving you more wrinkles (皱纹) and gray hair. The greatest thing you can do for yourself during failure is to use humor.
A.Remain calm.
B.Don’t take your anger out on others.
C.Life’s hard knocks are as common as life’s successes.
D.Forget about how other people view you.
E.Focus on trying again.
F.Did it make any difference？
G.It is a good thing to set out to do something that you know will fail.

I want to smile
There are many advantages of smiling. It can not only make us happy, but also please others. If we smile at life, life will smile on us in return. So I want to smile at all whenever and wherever possible
First, I would like to smile at my parents because they have given me life and take all the trouble to bring me up. They arrange almost everything for me. With their help, I have made great progress. I would like to say “Thank you” to them with a smile. Then my smile should go to myself, for only in this way can I gain more confidence in smiling my troubles away and live a better life.
In a word, let’s greet every day with a smile. Tomorrow is another day.。
