Each has its own personality and offers unique adventures and activities. OahuOahuhas 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 bee a great destination for families. The urban core (核心) of Honolulu and Waikiki has historic sites, museums and bustling（熙熙攘攘的）and nightlife scenes. The island lives up to its nickname of the Gathering Place.MauiMaui is a great island for honeymooners. The Valley Isle has top-class resorts and golf courses, adjacent（毗邻）to some of the states best beaches. A large dormant（休眠）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. KauaiKauai is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. The island gets a lot of rain, but thats what makes it so lively. Youll e across flowers and plants youve 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 worlds highest sea cliffs.Big IslandThe 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. Its one of the few spots in the world where you can see lava flow. In fact, the Big Island has 10 of the worlds 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 couples 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 mon?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.BWeather has always been a central part of my life. It terrified me at age four, amazed me at age 10, and got me into college at age 17. The biggest danger we face today isnt gun violence, election interference（干扰）, North Korea, or Donald Trump. Its climate change.There is clear evidence that our climate is changing. The number of years with an average temperature above 50 degrees in Rochester has doubled. In the past 27 years, weve had 18 years with more than 100 inches of snowfall. In the 50 years prior, only 13 years exceeded（超出）100 inches of snowfall. Recent events are perhaps the most serious reminder that something is horribly off. Just in the past few months, dozens have died in one of the most expansive wildfire seasons on record. This year alone, six tropical systems have impacted U.S. states and territories. Four were major hurricanes and three of those four made landfall. So what can we do? At this point, it seems like nothing will be able to prevent this planet from going to ruin. I dont have all the answers. The true solutions to these problems are years away. But that means that were the generation that will be responsible for saving the planet. You can start right now.If youre learning a language, you could bee the bridge between several countries hoping to cooperate on sustainable solutions. If youre an engineer, why not start thinking about how you can make sustainable products? If youre in art, music, or involved in another type of expressive discipline, perhaps climate change will factor into your work. Even giving the issue a few minutes of thought every day can make a big difference in the future.Most importantly, we have to work together on this. This is an issue that requires us to act now, because tomorrow could be too late to act. Everybody can stop the storm. The world is in your hands.24. What can we infer from the first paragraph? A. The author experienced extreme weather at age 17. B. The author has a serious gun fright as a child. C. The authors ashamed of being born in a poor family. D. The author is in favor of Donald Trump.25. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2？A. Lead in a topic.B. Provide some suggestions.C. Add some supporting details.D. Give an introduction.26. What is the authors opinion? A. The government is to blame.B. Everybody should be aware. C. Education is the most important.D. Man Can Conquer Nature.27. What title can we give the passage?A. Theres a Storm ingB. Great Minds Think Alike C. Mind Your Own BusinessD. Two Heads Are Better Than OneCNatalie Hampton, Sanah Jivani, Peyton Klein, and Tori Taylor share one thing in mon: They all experienced or witnessed bullying as teens.As they tried to make sense of what theyd personally endured （忍受） or watched others live through, the four young women, who didnt know each other, decided to dedicate their teen years to bullying prevention.After taking time to recover from the severe bullying she experienced, Hampton built an app calledSit With Usthat helps students find new friends with whom they can share lunch. Jivani, now 21, had been bullied for having a hair loss condition known as alopecia and foundedInternational Natural Daywhile in high school. Klein noticed how students who spoke English as a second language were excluded（排斥） and discriminated against, so she launched an after-school program to promote tolerance and friendship calledGlobal Minds Initiative. Taylor, whod experienced bullying, fought to bring a peer counseling（咨询） program to her high school.Bullying often makes victims and bystanders feel helpless, but young people also have the power to help change the culture at their school just like Hampton, Jivani, Klein and Taylor did. When you are faced with bullying, what will you do? Here are the fours opinions.Build self-confidence. Bullies tend to pick on kids without confidence. If you can build self-confidence, you can help prevent being bullied in the future.Never stop telling your story. Reliving the painful experience of bullying can be difficult, but realize it takes courage to tell your story and your story truly does have the capacity to change the world. Talk to a teacher, a coach, or a parent. Its their job to step up and help you deal with a bully, so tell them what you know.Make friends. Making friends can be difficult if youre not very outgoing. Having friends, though, can make you less vulnerable（易受攻击的）to bullying, and it gives you someone to pal around with between classes.Ask about transferring schools. If your situation is particularly bad, ask about transferring schools. This step may be difficult if you go to a zoned public school, but it can be done.28. What is the main function of Sit With Us? A. It can introduce new friends. B. Students can get help from teachers. C. Students can use it to order lunch. D. It can help to develop friendship.29. What does the underlined word “alopecia” probably refer to? A. Illness. B. Habit. C. App. D. Food.30. What did Klein do for bullying prevention? A. She took an active part in an after-school program. B. She built an app calledGlobal Minds Initiative. C. She helped to fight against discrimination. D. She appealed to us to tolerate school bullying.31. What do the four girls advise us to do? A. Make as many friends as possible.B. Avoid getting into trouble. C. Dont keep trouble to yourself.D. Better not choose a private school. DChildren who use screens for seven hours or more a day are showing signs that their brain cortex（大脑皮层）is thinning prematurely（过早地）, according to a new major US study.The ongoing $300 million research is funded by theNational Institute of Healthand shows results of the effects of technology on children.The aim of the study, called Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development, is also to show how screen time affects emotional development and mental health. The researchers also determined that children who spend more than two hours of daily screen time score lower on thinking and language tests.Researchers made the early findings by scanning the brains of 4, 500 children.The brain cortex is the outermost layer of neural（神经中枢的） tissue that processes information from the physical world.It is critical for cognitive functions such as perception（直觉）, language, memory and consciousness but thins as we mature into old age.Though the difference was significant from participants who spent less time using smart devices, the study director cautioned against drawing a conclusion.Dr Gaya Dowling, an NIH doctor working on the project, cautioned against drawing a conclusion because they arent pletely sure its being caused by the increased use of modern technology. They wont be able to draw a definitive oute until they follow them over the course of several years.Dr Dowling said: “It wont be until we follow them over time that we will see if there are outes that are associated with the differences that were seeing in this single snapshot.”A 2014 study showed that there is a direct correlation between the thickness of the brain cortex and IQ score. The cortex begins to thin after the age of five or six as part of the normal aging process.The findings showed thatpeople with a significant increase in IQ did not have the expected cortical thinning and people with a significant decrease in IQ had exaggerated（夸张） cortical（皮质的）thinning.A major data release of the initial data is scheduled for early 2019.32. What belongs to the findings of the new major US study? A. Screen time can result in a smaller brain. B. The brain cortex gets thinner as we mature into old age.C. Too much exposure to screen can lead to a poorer health. D. Children who are interested in puter are academically poor.33. Why is Dr Gaya Dowling against drawing a conclusion? A. There are some doubts about their findings. B. He thinks that further study is needed. C. The number of the participants is not large enough. D. They should ask for the governments permission.34. What is the finding of the 2014 study? A. The brain cortex has much to do with IQ score.B. The brain cortexs thickness is determined by IQ.C. Different people have different cortical thinning.D. Aging is a natural process for creatures.35. What will probably happen when a person reaches the age of five or six? A. His IQ score will get higher and higher. B. He will be more addicted to modern technology. C. He will show more interest in modern technology. D. His brain cortex will bee thinner and thinner.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Survive Being Stuck in a LiftBeing stuck in a lift, also known as an elevator, can sometimes be scary, especially if you are a fan of those kinds of movies which have a lot of elevator tragedies.
