(from )5. which of the following cant be used to describe mauritius?a. tropical island, white sandy beach and bright blue sea.b. beautiful scenery, rich history and culture.c. most of the people in mauritius are black.d. delicious food mixed with eastern and western flavours.6. which group of the following topics is not discussed in the text?a. food and history. b. scenery and population. c. location and sports. d. natural resources and agriculture.7. which of the following is true?a. mauritius has something similar to the caribbean or south pacific.b. mauritius has a history of less than 40 years. c. mauritius has been a popular destination for chinese tourists for many years.d. the main food in mauritius is local beer and rum.8. the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to _.a. pleasant tropical climate b. beautiful scenery c. the sea with colorful life d. the coral reef 5. c 事实细节题。第五段“over half the population of mauritius is hindu”的意义：毛里求斯现在一半的人口为印度人。根据我们中学生应该具备的常识，印度人不属于黑色人种，由此推断可知6. d 事实归纳题。通读全文，短文中没有涉及“自然资源和农业”。其他几项都能找到。7. a 推测题。短文第一段的意义是：一提起以白色的沙滩和迷人的大海而著称的热带群岛，人们大多会想起加勒比海或是南太平洋上的岛屿。而现在，中国游客又多了另外一个天堂般的好去处毛里求斯。由此衬托出毛里求斯与加勒比海或南太平洋上的岛屿有相类似的风光。毛里求斯1968年赢得独立，独立不到40年，但不能说她有不到40 年的历史，可排除b项。第二段提到毛里求斯日前对中国公民开放旅游，可排除c项。倒数第二段“boiled rice is served with just about everything. all that is washed down with a plentiful supply of local beer and rum”的意思是：主食为米饭。用餐的时候少不了喝一些当地的啤酒和朗姆酒，可排除d项8. c 指代题。根据这两句的意义：五颜六色的小生物在珊瑚礁周围生存和繁衍，把大海点缀得分外美丽。(这样的大海)使毛里求斯成为游客畅游、潜水的好地方。因此，this指代the sea with colorful life。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a.b.c和d项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 a after our early morning wake-up, we are still a couple ofhours away from the overlooks.it is pitch black.i can feel theheavy humid fog left behind my last nights rain. this is why the tour memo listed flashlight. unfortunately; the majorityof our hiking party of nine must have missed the memo, so wehave only four flashlights between us. an hoar later,we are on the trail. it is dark, foggy, wet and the rocks are alippery.we alternate places between the flashlights haves and have-nots. as we march, the only voices heard are from the haves: step up, step down, watch out for the rock on your left. we reach intipunku with only 15 minutes to spare. the view at sunrise is not what we were told in the travel brochures. three feet in front of our faces is a white substance called fog. as we walk towards the machu picchu ruins, my anticipation is mounting. when will the fog lift? slowly, as if someone is cranking up a curtain, huayna picchu begins to appear,overlooking machu picchu. first there are fleeting glimpses, and then finally, there is, in its full splendor. when i envisioned going to machu picchu, i always thought of mysterious ruins and the famous postcard picture looking toward huayna picchu. but there is more to this man-made / natural wonder of the world. it is the adventure of getting there. i knew i wanted to experience the feel of the inca culture and the energy of this sacred valley, i also knew i didnt want to take the train, but needed to hike. depending on your starting point,the inca trail is 25 to 33miles of semi-arid desert, breathless mountain passes and stunning tropical cloud forest. our hike took us four nights and 25 miles to finish. our local guide mauro keeps telling us no worries, the hike is 90 percent mental and only 10 percent physical. i am not convinced that the physical percentage is correct, but i definitely become more and more excited as we are now getting closer to machu picchu.by getting myself into good shape, running 20 miles and hiking a 500-foot-high hill five to seven times per week before i left for peru, i was able to enjoy the beauty of the hike and not worry much about aching muscles and lungs.1. about flashlights, which of the following statements is true?

a. people are seeing the california greens everywhe
