We've ranked the top hotels in Hawaii based on a fair analysis of awards, expert recommendations
and user ratings. The following are brief introductions to some of the top hotels.
Halekulani
Halekulani remains a traveler favorite for its accommodation and breathtaking views of Waikiki
Beach and Diamond Head. Rooms include free Internet access, flat-panel TVs and welcome fruit and
chocolate. And then there are those wonderful ocean views available in all but the courtyard rooms.
Recent visitors also praise the helpful service staff. Halekulani also has three restaurants, and the Lewers
Lounge is a great evening place thanks to its nightly jazz performances.
Mauna Kea Beach Hotel
The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is one of the Big Island's most historic properties: in the 1960s, the
site was hand － picked by founder, Laurance S. Rockefeller, specifically for its beautiful uniquely
shaped shoreline. Each of the 258 rooms comes with plenty of space for you to spread out, as well as a
mini－fridge. Although this historic hotel may not be as flashy as some of the Big Island's other luxury
resorts, you will find a golf course, the full－service spa by Mandara, and 11 seaside tennis courts. The
Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is also proud of several restaurants, all of which serve up different island－
inspired cooking.
Andaz Maui at Wailea
Great grounds, attentive service and a new Iron Chef－helmed restaurant are just a few of the
reasons why guests are talking excitedly about the Andaz Maui at Wailea. Each of the Andaz Maui's 290

The latest Disney movie, “Zootopia”(疯狂动物城, broke records. The movie had the largest opening
weekend for a Disney animated film. People across the United States bought more than $75 million
worth of tickets. The box office totals pushed the popular movie, “Frozen”, to second place in opening
weekend success. Experts say “Zootopia” is expected to stay strong this weekend. They predict it will
make as much as $50 million more. Already, the movie’s worldwide box office total is more than $230
million.
“Zootopia” is a city of animals. The movie stars a bunny rabbit police officer and a fox criminal who
team up to find a missing otter. He is among several animals that have suddenly disappeared from the
city.
Critics have strongly praised “Zootopia” for its sharp humor and strong message. The film explores
racism and other intolerance in its portrayal(描绘) of relations between two kinds of animals in the city.
Jared Bush and Phil Johnston wrote “Zootopia”. They told reporters that it started out as a spy movie set
in several different animal worlds. But they found the mammal world especially interesting. So they
changed the story. Bush and Johnston said building the imaginary world took a lot of research. They
both spoke about it to the website Inside the Magic. Bush said they asked themselves, “What’s this world
like? What’s the history of this world?” And then, he said, they went to the experts. The writers spoke
with people who study culture and group behavior, as well as those who study the psychology of
individuals. And they talked with animal experts like zookeepers. They learned that the natural world is
made up of 90 percent prey animals and 10 percent predator animals. “Zootopia” director Byron Howard
says that discovery helped build the film’s themes prejudice and inclusion in a diverse world. The
creators have noted that diversity was not easy to produce in drawings. There are 64 species represented
in the movie. There are multiple neighborhoods that represent the different environments of animal
habitats.
Disney says “Zootopia” is its most complex animation yet. The extra effort is certainly paying off at
the box office.
25. What does the film focus on?A. Effective ways to protect prey animals.
B. Prejudice and inclusion in a diverse world.
C. Differences between prey and predator animals.
D. The love of peace among different animals.
26. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. “Zootopia” made 50 million dollars the first weekend.
B. A fox is among several animals disappearing from the city.
C. The creators asked experts for help to build the imaginary world.
D. “Zootopia” is a spy movie set in different animal worlds.
27. Where can you probably find the passage?
A. In a film textbook. B. In a tourist brochure.
C. In a research paper. D. In a news report.
C
Since American students have been introduced into the era of the Massive Open Online
Course(MOOC), the opportunity for cheating appears greater than ever. The all － knowing Google
search is within easy reach. So how can a teacher handle such a large number of examinees and search
out cheaters taking tests on the Internet?
Using technology, of course. Mettl, an online company, has developed advanced techniques for
netting cheaters. It has adopted a mass of technologies on its test-taking platform, monitoring test－
takers' performance in the exam. Here's how it works: A test－taker signs on to Mettl and select his/her
exam from the site's library of pre－loaded tests. Facial and keystroke(击键) recognition technology
confirm the person that has signed in is the very person, and the system records both the test－taker and
the test－taker's screen throughout the test.
Mettl's technology uses the test－taker's webcam(摄像头) to detect(察觉) how many people are
using the computer. Soon, it will track eye movement well enough to sense whether the test－taker is
looking away from the screen, perhaps to consult a smartphone or a friend in secret. Mettl also monitors
the test－taker's screen and can detect when the test－taker has changed a computer or moved from the
test. The system will soon be able to record sound, detecting whether the test－taker is talking or being
talked to.
If any wrongdoings are detected, the system flags the incident and reports it back to the test's
administrator. This can bring any number of things, depending on the test－giver's wishes: a complete
shutdown of the exam, a warning message that appears on the test － taker's screen, even human
instructions from the control center.
Mettl is hoping its technology will help it break into the country's big MOOC markets.
28．From the first paragraph we can infer that ________．A．MOOC has replaced the traditional form of education
B．teachers should be stricter in dealing with cheating
C．preventing online cheating is a harder job
D．Google is a software designed for cheating
29．How can Mettl help to get rid of cheating online?
A．By equipping teachers with cameras.
B．By asking test－takers to sign in.
C．By providing different tests at a time.
D．By recording the test－takers' behaviors.
30．The underlined word “flags” in Paragraph 4 means “________”．
A．notices B．reacts to C．changes D．marks
31．We can conclude from the passage that the technology of Mettl is ________ in the MOOC era.
A．unreliable B．promising C．wasteful D．successful
D
Climate change may make parts of the Middle East too hot for human beings, according to a new study.
Researchers have been studying weather conditions in the Middle East since 1970. They say “very hot”
days in the area have doubled over that period. They say temperatures in summer in the Middle East and North
Africa will continue rising. They believe by 2050, temperatures will not fall below 30 degrees Celsius at night in
the hottest part of summer, and day-time temperatures could rise to 46 degrees Celsius. Temperatures at noon
could reach as high as 50 Celsius. Heat waves are likely to last longer.
“If mankind continues to release carbon dioxide as it does now, people living in the Middle East and North
Africa will have to expect about 200 unusually hot days,” says Panos Hadjinicolaou, a climate change expert
with the Cyprus Institute.
The researchers also looked at the amount of “fine particulate (颗粒) air pollution” in the Middle East.
They found that the amount of dust in the atmosphere over Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Syria jumped 70 percent since
the start of the century. This, they say, could have resulted from an increase in the number of sand storms caused
by climate change.
The researchers created two models. In one model, rising temperatures are limited because of reductions in
greenhouse gases. The other model is said to be a “business as usual” model where nothing is done to stop
climate change. Under both models, the future of the Middle East is not good, the researchers say. They added
that climate change can result in a slow worsening of living conditions for people in North Africa and the
Middle East and in time many people may have to leave the regions.
32. The underlined word “fine” in the 4th paragraph probably has the same meaning as ________.
A. bright B. terrible C. very thin D. high-quality
33. What is the right order of the events according to the text?A. climate change →sand storms→dust in the atmosphere
B. sand storms →climate change→dust in the atmosphere
C. climate change →dust in the atmosphere→sand storms
D. sand storms →dust in the atmosphere→climate change
34. Panos Hadjinicolaou’s attitude towards humans’ releasing carbon dioxide is ________.
A. Indifferent B. Casual C. Skeptical D. Concerned
35. Where can we probably read this passage?
A. In a History Paper B. In a News Report
C. In a Literature Magazine D. In a Travel Brochure

Although there are many different types of generous people, there are some common characteristics
that the most generous people share. Whether they give their time or their money, these qualities are
largely shared by people most devoted to giving back to their communities and families.
Unselfishness
First and foremost, generous people are unselfish. 36 Personal gain may occur, but it is not an
inspiring factor for the most generous people.
Optimism
Generous people are optimistic. They have a certain idea of the way the world should be, and
struggle to achieve that end. 37 As optimists, they see the world in a different light. They truly
believe that the world, although not perfect, can be made into a much better place.
Trust
Trust is a major quality among the most generous people. They trust completely that their cause is a
worthy one. 38 For those who give, this means that the others associated with the cause will be
using their time and resources appropriately.
Energy
When you think of people being generous, energy is one of the first things that come to mind. These
people devote their energy to the good that they want to do 39 When the most generous people spend
their time working on a goal, they are energized to do even more good.
40 If you are concerned with increasing your own level of generosity, these factors will get you
started in the right direction.
A. They also gain energy from their cause.
B. Reliable people are very popular in the community.
C. They give without hopes of gaining for their good deeds.D. But they believed that they can help more people do good deeds.
E. The most generous people share these qualities to different degrees.
F. They also trust that the people involved with that cause will do their best to help achieve the goal.

money.

For whatever reason, discipline has gone from the original meaning “to teach” to “to punish”!
However, I think parents should teach and 41 children to set the behavior right 42 punish
them. As for me, I may use single word reminders or questions or state facts, instead of 43 or
demanding compliance(服从).I was 44 the first time I noticed how well this works. As usual,
my daughter walked out of the bathroom with the lights still on. Normally I would bark “Switch off
the light”. She would sometimes follow the 45 , and sometimes she would 46 with “You
switch off the lights” or an aggressive “No!” or 47 , just plainly ignore me. Anyway, that day I
just said “lights” in a normal and 48 tone. Surprisingly, she went back to the bathroom and
49 the lights. I have 50 this with all my heart now – anytime I remember, I just use a single
word said in the tone of a friendly 51 , and most of the times, it works. For example, “Car” gets
her to 52 hanging about and walk towards the car.
I have also used the question technique, which has 53 pretty well so far. Instead of shouting
“Go, put your shoes back on the shoe shelf”, a simple question like “Hey, where do we put our shoes?”
gets the job done with less 54 .
55 , stating facts helps too. When washing hands, if she is fooling around, I just 56
“Water is wasting” and she is likely to wash her hands faster than 57 like “you are wasting
water”.I advise parents to pick up one new 58 discipline technique to 59 or one old habit
to let go of, and 60 that for the rest of the week. It may work for you, it may not. But unless you
try, you will never know! So, take action to find a way to get back on the positive path!
41. A. permit B. forbid C. advise D. guide
42. A. other than B. more than C. rather than D. or rather
43. A. announcing B. ordering C. declaring D. claiming
44. A. shocked B. disappointed C. puzzled D. amazed
45. A. description B. assumption C. instruction D. introduction
46. A. answer B. counter C. agree D. threaten
47. A. badly B. well C. better D. worse
48. A. sweet B. casual C. strict D. formal
49. A. cut off B. broke off C. turned off D. put off50. A. adapted B. adopted C. adjusted D. abandoned
51. A. reminder B. persuasion C. reference D. command
52. A. appreciate B. continue C. postpone D. stop
53. A. mattered B. worked C. served D. operated
54. A. hesitation B. determination C. assistance D. resistance
