26、n a magic name to people who like to travel.

In the tropical (热带的) islands, the sun drops
27、，like a ball of golden fire, into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a red glow that lights the skies over the quiet water.People often have a quiet, peaceful time for a leisurely walk along the water. This scene is not too different from the dram
28、atic (激动人心的) beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. They were Polynesian people who came from Tahiti in canoes not much bigger than small boats.They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no grand hotels like the ones we see
29、nowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper (摩天大楼) hotels have been built in the last 25 years.Now jet airplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco or Los Angeles.Wherever people come from they really want to see th

34、because some of the most fascinating scenery is almost hidden by tall hotelsD. it is difficult to see the original beauty because things have completely changed in the last 25 years答案与解析：C细节理解题。从文章最后一句可知C项正确。BOutside her shabby cottage, old Mrs Tailor was hanging out laundry on a wire line, unaware

36、light. Suddenly, the old ladys work was interrupted by the cackling of her hena signal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on top of the haystack.The old broomstick was put aside as she hobbled off towards the haystack followed by Sooty, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap some time b
37、ack. With only three legs, it was hard for Sooty to keep up with the old lady. The cat provided proofthe children were sure that only a witch would own a black cat with three legs.There, standing on a wooden box, was Mrs Tailor, stretching out to gather her precious egg. Taking the egg in one of her
38、 hands, she began to climb down when, without warning, the box broke and the old lady fell.“We have to go and help her，” whispered Amy.“What if it is a trick？” replied Ben.“Dont be silly, Ben. If she were a witch, she would have turned us into frogs already，” reasoned Meg. “Come on Amy, lets go.” Th
39、e girls climbed down the tree and ran all the way to the haystack.Approaching carefully, they could see a wound on the old ladys face. She had knocked her head on a stone and her ankle was definitely broken. “Go and get Dad，” Amy yelled to her brother. “Tell him about the accident.”The boys did not
40、need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hoping that Mrs Tailor would not wake and turn the girls into frogs.25Why were the children hiding in the tree?A.

41、find out if the rumors about Mrs Tailor were true.D.

42、 cackling答案与解析：D由第二段第三句可知，泰勒太太听到了母鸡产蛋后的咯咯叫声后，就停止了打扫。故D项正确。27Ben did not rush to help Mrs Tailor because _.A. he thought that she could be tricking themB. he knew that they should not have been in the treeC. he did not see the old lady fall downD. he was afraid of the threelegged cat答案与解析：A由第六段“What
43、if it is a trick？ replied Ben”可知，本认为泰勒太太摔倒是她做的把戏，所以不愿前去帮忙。28Which of these old sayings best suits the storys lesson for us?A. Make hay while the sun shines.B. Never judge a book by its cover.C. People in glasshouses should not throw stones.D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.答案与解析：B通读全文可知
44、，孩子们通过亲眼所见，证实了泰勒太太不是女巫的这一事实。由此告诉我们一个道理：不要只看事物的外表，只有通过观察、实践才能认识到事物的本质，故B项表述与之相符。CFor more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch wi
45、th us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships travelling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100 light years of Earth. In addi
46、tion, they scan the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at a time. Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise.Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy (
47、银河星系), scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like Earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution (进化) of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in) planets in our Galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty y
