【题目】Islands in the world are famous for different things. But Hawaii is special for its variety of features. Beautiful sandy beaches, active volcanoes (火山), a great canyon (溪谷) and special history and culture add up to create its famously romantic atmosphere.

Formed by volcanoes at the bottom of the sea, the Hawaii islands are like a necklace in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 6,000 kilometres off the west coast of Mexico. There are eight main islands in the group, including Hawaii (or Big Island), Maui, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai，and Niihau.

The youngest and biggest island, also called Hawaii was formed 430,000 years ago and is still growing. Kauai, the oldest was formed 5.1 million years ago. For tourists, the sight of the lava(熔岩) that still flows from some of the volcanoes down to the sea, is a major attraction.

Hawaii is the newest and smallest state in the US. In 1900, the islands joined the US. In modern history, it will always be remembered for the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese air force in 1941.

About 1,000 years ago, the islands were settled by Polynesians (波利尼西亚人), Captain James Cook led the first group of Westerners there in 1778.

Native Hawaiians have a special culture and language. Although nowadays English is the official language of Hawaii, folk music and dancing are still widely practiced. The traditional dance of the islands is the hula, a Hawaiian word that means dance.

Hawaii's reputation for romance was spread when Hollywood started to use its typical music in movies in the 1960's.

Today, Hawaii is famous for its mix of cultures. Chinese, Japanese and Filipinos all live there.

Chinese arrived in the islands as early as the late 18th century. Dr. Sun Yatsen, the famous Chinese revolutionary, grew up there.

Everyone in Hawaii is a member of an ethnic minority (少数民族) and generally they exist in a pleasant harmony (和谐) of races and cultures.

练习册系列答案

A dating app named Pheramor requires all users to hand in a cheek sample, from which a team of in-house scientists using a specially-created tool can queue the specific genes connected with attraction and then identify which users might be suitable. The process works by separating the 11 genes that link to our pheromones（信息素）, the chemical signals that are believed to control; one’s attraction. Combining this data with the personal information allows the app to make very specific matches.

“Pheramor uses both your biology and your social technology: we collect your genetic data through a cheek sample and collect your like, dislikes, and interest from your social media introductions like Facebook, Twitter, etc,” the app’s website explains. “All of them will be used in our specific software, which is designed to learn what you prefer.”

The co-founder Brittany Barreto, who has a PHD in genetics added that Pheramor’s technology digs deeper than traditional dating apps, making it almost impossible for people to cheat their way to a date.

The Houston-based app is already up and running but hopes to be officially put into market in February with 3,000 members.

【题目】When the sun sets in Hong Kong, the city skyline comes alive. Billboard（广告牌）lights flash, and light up the crowded streets. The colorful lights from the tall buildings are one of the city’s main attractions.

“Oh, my god. The lights are so amazing. We love it. It’s so nice.” said one visitor.

But this appreciation is not shared by everyone in Hong Kong. Lat year then government reported a record number of complaints. The curtains may be drawn. But residents argue the bright light outside is hard to escape. “We receive some complaints about the light pollution. They find it very hard to sleep or they have disturbance from the light outside.”

Scientists at the University of Hong Kong spent 18 months studying levels of light pollution and collecting more than 5 million measurements. They found Hong Kong one of the world’s worst “victims”. The lights pollution condition in Hong Kong was extremely severe. Particular in cities, the night sky brightness, as well as the lights, is a few hundred times over the level of that of a night sky without light pollution. In cities such as Seoul, London, Shanghai and Paris, billboard lighting is under control. And there are punishments for people who go against the law.

But in Hong Kong, there are no laws. A volunteer regulation called Charter of External Light（户外灯光约章）encourages visitors to switch off between 11 p.m. and 7 p.m. The critics say it’s not enough to make a difference. The government says 4800 businessmen have signed up to the Charter so far. And it’s satisfied that it’s working.

But not everyone is convinced and some residents are taking upon themselves to act. Zoe Chow led a campaign to have a commercial building switch off their midnight. She won but she believes the lights will eventually turn back on. “I know that the building has signed the Charter of External Light. But it is voluntary, not mandatory（强制的）.

【1】What is the complaint about in the third paragraph?

A. The ill-designed billboard.

B. The unattractive night lights.

C. The light pollution at night.

D. The city noise and disturbance.

【2】Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?

A. Billboard lighting is under control in all big cities.

B. Scientists have found ways to stop the light pollution.

C. The government attaches little importance to the light pollution.

D. The Charter of External Light is aimed to help reduce the light pollution.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Bright lights in Hong Kong may continue to shine.

B. People are satisfied with the role the Charter plays.

C. Residents will never start a campaign against the light pollution.

D. The Charter of External Light will no longer have an effect.

【4】What is this text mainly about?

A. Hongkong’s light pollution law.

B. Severe light pollution in Hongkong.

C. Pollution problems in big cities.

D. The Solution to light pollutions.
