Dont forget your hat: the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as 40 at noon.Visit Hawaii!Maybe the most beautiful place in Hawaii is Kauai. You can visit its long, sandy beaches in the south and west of the island, and mountains and forests in the north, but dont be surprised if it rains in the centre of the island.

To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical(批判性的) thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes（过程）. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word “critical”here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are interested in life and want to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning（推理）are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in todays world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure（尺度）of intelligence（智慧）, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein. Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately made Hoffman feel comfortable by saying, “Please go slowly. I dont understand things quickly.”（1）Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, _.A . it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastB . we might be controlled by other peoples ideasC . we will follow the ideas of others naturallyD . we might be fooled by other peoples ideas（2）If you are a critical thinker, you will _.A . take one view against another viewB . trust the reports in the newspapersC . think deeply about different ideasD . criticize other people for their mistakes（3）In the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that _.A . speed can improve intelligenceB . intelligence is not decided by speedC . the smarter you are, the faster you do thingsD . the faster you do things, the smarter you become24. （3分）任务型阅读Billy Smith loves water.

In order to solve this problem, a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared.Search results are filtered（过滤）,so only safe website are shown and descriptions are written in simple language. Searches with bad words are shut off, too.Kiddles uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage, toowith an extra robot picture.The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids, and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers.The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written specially for kids, but have content written in a simple way. These results are also chosen and checked.Results on the eighth and owwards pages are safe and famous websites that are written for adults. They provide expert content, but are harder for kids to understand.Unlike on Google, most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures（缩略图）to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for. For example, when searching for meow meow. Google produces pages for information about a drug（毒品）that has meow meow as its nickname（绰号）,but Kiddle lists information only about cats, even with some cartoon pictures.The company explained, Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family-friendly requirements, as we filter websites with unhealthy content.Kiddl
