Each has its own personality and offers unique adventures and activities. ‎ Oahu ‎ Oahu has a bit of everything, packed in 597 square miles. You can hike into thick rainforests, and when you need a break, relax on powdery white sand beaches and stay at luxury resorts. ‎ Oahu has become a great destination for families. The urban core of Honolulu and Waikiki has historic sites, museums and bustling and nightlife scenes. The island lives up to its nickname of the Gathering Place. ‎ Maui ‎ Maui is a great island for honeymooners. The Valley Isle has top-class resorts and golf courses, adjacent to some of the state's best beaches. A large dormant volcano in east Maui at sunrise or sunset is a serene experience, as well as driving the Road to Hana, famed for its thundering waterfalls.‎ Kauai Kauai is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. The island gets a lot of rain, but that's what makes it so lively, you'll come across flowers and plants you've never seen before. For some of the best views on the island, visit Waimea Canyon, known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, and the Na Pali coast, boasting some of the world's highest sea cliffs.‎ Big Island The Big Island is the. only Hawaiian island still growing. Witness the power of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, wind, lightning and volcanoes with a visit to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It's one of the few spots in the world where you can see lava flow. In fact, the Big Island has 10 of the world's sub-climate zones, from the snow-covered mountain of Mauna Kea, green forests of Waipio Valley to stretches of barren desert.‎ ‎21. Which is young couples1 favorite?‎ A. Oahu. B. Maui. C. Kauai. D. Big Island.‎ ‎22. How is Oahu different from the other places? ‎ A. It belongs to Hawaii. B. It offers the best beaches.‎ C. It has variety of plants. D. You can experience city life on it.‎ ‎23. What do Maui and Big Island have in common?‎ A. They are both covered with snow. B. You can have a look at a volcano.‎ C. Weather is changeable. D. There is plenty of rain.‎ B It is reported in the national press that a letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives （档案馆）by the FBI after being stolen twice.‎ ‎“We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing, says Effie Kapsalis, head of the Smithsonian Institution Archives. "It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern （实习 生），from what the FBI is telling us. Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes, and the intern put the letter back. "The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it.”‎ Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington, D. C. Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian's property.‎ The letter is in fairly good condition, in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long. “It was luckily in good shape；" says Kapsalis, "and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent us from using it. After it is repaired, we will take digital photographs of it and that will be available online. One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online."‎ It would now be difficult for an intern, visitor or a thief to steal a document like this. “Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s," says Kapsalis, "and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don't even have access to."‎ ‎24. What happened to Darwin's letter in the 1970s?‎ A. It was recovered by the FBI.‎ B. It was put in the archives for research purposes.‎ C. It was stolen more than once.‎ D. It was purchased by the Smithsonian Archives.‎ ‎25. What did the FBI do after the recovery of the letter? ‎ A. They pressed criminal charges in vain.‎ B. They kept it in a special safe.‎ C. They arrested the suspect immediately.‎ D. They proved its authenticity.‎ ‎26. What will the Smithsonian Institution Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis?‎ A. Reserve it for research purposes only. ‎ B. Make it available online.‎ C. Keep it a permanent secret.‎ D. Turn it into an object of high interest. ‎ ‎27. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. A Letter by Charles Darwin Returns to the Smithsonian B. The Smithsonian Tightens Security Measures C. The Smithsonian Charges an Intern with Theft D. The FBI Cracks a Criminal Case C Think about a remote control. Something so simple in function is seemingly capable of invisible magic to most of us. Only few have any real idea of why a remote control works. The rest of us just assume it should. And the longer a given technology exits, the more we take it for granted.‎ Consider for a moment a screen showing modem remote control users versus the first remote control users: the original users would be carefully aiming the remote directly at the television, reading the names of the buttons, and intentionally pressing the button. The modem users would be leaning on a sofa, pointing the remote any which way, and instinctively(本能 的）feeling for the button they desired. ‎ Humans are known for being handy with tools, so it is no surprise that we get so comfortable with our technology. However, as we become increasingly comfortable with how to use new technologies, rather than being humbled by its originality, we consumers often become unfairly demanding of what our technology should do for us. Once wonderful new inventions (such as televisions) quickly became commonplace. The focus of consumer attitudes towards them changed from gratitude with respect to discriminating preference. Televisions needed to be bigger and have a higher resolution. Video games needed to be more realistic. Computers needed to be more powerful yet smaller in size.‎ For children of the last twenty years born into this modem life, these technological wonders seem like elements of the periodic (周期的)table: a given aspect that is simply part of the universe. Younger generations don't even try to imagine life without modem conveniences. They do not appreciate the great technology that is in their possession； rather, they complain about the ways in which it fails to live up to ideal expectations. "My digital video recorder at home doesn't allow me to program it from my computer at work."‎ If it sounds as though we're never satisfied, we aren't. Of course, our complaints do actually motivate engineers to continually refine their products. After all, the expectation is that someone, somewhere is working on how to make the existing product even better.‎ ‎28. What can we infer from paragraph 2 ?‎ A. Modem remote controls have no button and instructions.‎ B. Consumers' behavior towards new technologies changes over time.‎ C. Remote controls have become far more effective over the years.‎ D. Modem remote controls are designed more user-friendly.‎ ‎29. What best fit into consumers' "discriminating preference''?‎ A. Less realistic video games.‎ B. Wanting to make sacrifices.‎ C. Needing to understand technology.‎ D. More powerful smartphones.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined statement in paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. The inspiration of modem technology comes from chemistry.‎ B. Children learn technology while they learn chemistry.‎ C. Children naturally take modern technology for granted.‎ D. Children regard many technological inventions as remarkable...‎ ‎31. The tone of the passage can best be described as_ .‎ A. blessing B. approving C. satisfied D. critical D Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and Hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or ‎ Goldilocks and the Three Bears.‎ ‎ One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning experiences increase the length of time we will remember it. ‎ In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We' continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.‎ The multiplication tables（乘法 口 诀表）are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.‎ The law of overlearning explains why cramming（突击学习）for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.‎ ‎32. What's the main idea of Paragraph 1 ?‎ A. Stories for children are easy to remember. ‎ B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.‎ D. People remember well what they learned in childhood.‎ ‎33. The author explains the law of overlearning by A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules C. using examples D. making a comparison ‎34. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is.‎ A. a result of overlearning ‎ B. a special case of cramming . ‎ C. a skill to deal with math problems ‎ D. a basic step towards advanced studies ‎ ‎35. What is the author's opinion on cramming?‎ A. It leads to failure in college exams.‎ B. It's helpful only in a limited way. ‎ C. It's possible to result in poor memory. ‎ D. It increases students5 learning interest. ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ When trying to make a successful career, which is better: being a generalist or a specialist? In other words, should you generalize and know a little about a lot of things?‎ ‎36 ‎ Natasha Olinger, a human resource expert, talks about the benefits of both. She said, generally speaking, the common wisdom is that it's always better to specialize and then you can demand a higher salary.‎ To explain her idea, Olinger uses a fairly common situation-choosing a restaurant. 37_ If you go to a restaurant that only serves sushi, you can expect high quality products, and you also should expect to pay more. If you go to a place that serves sushi, tacos and pizza, the quality of the sushi may not be so great, but the prices will probably be lower. 38 She adds that all is not perfect in the world of the specialist. If there is a drop in economy, a generalist may get more job offers.‎ Olinger suggests thinking about the size and type of business you would like to work for. 39_ Also, companies that are just getting started often need people who are able to perform many different tasks. For example, your job description may be that of a graphic designer, but you may also have to do some writing. Larger companies can be just the opposite. They often need specialists-experts in a given field. But perhaps the best solution is a mix of generalization and specialization. 40 The top of the T would be the generalized part. The upright stem of the T would be the deeper understanding of a person's general knowledge- their expertise.‎ A. Or should we combine these two with each other?‎ B. Some career planners call this a "t-shaped" career.‎ C. Say you want to eat a favorite Japanese meal: sushi.‎ D. Olinger says, however, the world of work is not all that different.‎ E. Small businesses often need people who can do many things.‎ F. Olinger also warns that the world of work is more complex than this.‎ G. Or should you specialize and have a deep understanding of only one area?‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共2节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填 入空白处的最佳选项。 ‎ When winter came to Washington and the streets froze over, Henderson could finally teach his favorite sport hockey （冰球）.One day in 1978, Henderson 41 there were too many kids to just keep playing in the street.
