24、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 1,600 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 learned 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 modern 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, Hilo, the second largest city in Hawaii, is built just under Manna 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

25、Disney movies are very popular. You may still remember the characters and stories of Disney movies after many years. But there’s one thing about Disney movies you may never know. From Disney’s earliest cartoon film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, to more recent ones like Frozen, many Disney movies don’t have moms. In Disney movies, Mom is dead or simply never appears. Disney movie fans may wonder the reason for this strange fact.

Many people think that the lack of mothers in Disney movies has something to do with the death of Walt Disney’s mother in the early 1940s. Many people think that Walt put sadness over his mother’s death into his films. However, many of his movies before his mom’s death also lack moms. Hahn said lacking mothers is a way to bring out the themes like growing up in a short time. Many Disney movies came out after Walt’s death, like Beauty and the Beast. In these films, main characters lose or leave their parents and they have to grow up and become strong.

We never know if Walt’s mother’s death made a difference to the mothers’ problem in Disney films, but it seems like it’s a common fact.

26、任务型阅读  先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give a successful speech.

So, you have to give a speech and you’re frightened. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(结巴)over words, you talk too long and your listeners feel tired of your speech. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”

Cheer up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. You can do the following things to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion(场合)? Why are you speaking? Then, collect as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time putting your material in good order so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible and use pictures, charts and graphs if they help you make your points clearer. Never forget your listeners. Don’t talk over their heads and don’t talk down to them. Respect your listeners. They will enjoy your thoughtfulness.

Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your listeners and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your listeners.

If you follow the simple things, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not confident yet. Give it a try and see what happens.
