17、ked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude.

Lets start with four. The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. The

24、re are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world. Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands i

25、n the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing. What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldnt be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are

26、 Hawaiis biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places 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 pe

27、ople who live there. 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 abo

28、ut 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. （分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of _ . （分数：2.00）A.one islandB.twenty islandsC.sixty-fou

29、r islandsD.hundreds of islands(2).Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands? （分数：2.00）A.They are not a part of the islands.B.They actually made the islands.C.They are the first in the world.D.They are growing.(3).What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world? （分数：2.

31、 passage, “above all nations is humanity” might mean _ . （分数：2.00）A.not all nations have humanityB.humanity is as important as a nationC.humanity has no national boundariesD.all human beings should live in peacePassage Four There is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his atti

32、tude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how borin

33、g the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible. Over-achievers students who do better than their test scores show usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things

34、more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (补偿), they are often better at applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful. Under-achievers those who function below their ability shown by test scored often tend to allow a few n

35、egative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers. If you learn to replace a negative atti

36、tude toward learning with something more positive, you are on the road to achieving almost any goal you desire. For example, if you realize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your performance, but have an attitude that keeps telling you that a computer is difficult to operate, y

37、ou tend to make all kinds of excuses. In short, you resist making full use of a terrific tool, simply because your negative attitude prevents you from learning.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the author think a student should do if he has a boring teacher? （分数：2.00）A.Look for a new course.B.Be critical of t

38、he teacher.C.Complete the course with a good score.D.Have a right attitude toward the teacher.(2).The writer thinks that over-achievers and under-achievers mainly differ in _ . （分数：2.00）A.their test scoresB.their judgment of othersC.their attitudes toward learningD.their skills in using computers(3)

39、.The underlined phrase function below their ability shown by test scores means the under-achievers _ . （分数：2.00）A.often get low scores in testsB.do worse in actual learning than in testsC.usually do better in tests than the over-achieversD.are always slow in learning and have to make more efforts(4)

40、.The example of the personal computer shows that _ . （分数：2.00）A.finding excuses helps in learningB.to react negatively can be harmfulC.hard-working is the key to successD.making use of the computer is important(5).What is the main idea of the passage? （分数：2.00）A.Attitudes play an important role in l
