话 题 导 入
(2013·陕西中考真题) Hawaii has always been a magic name to people who like traveling. People from all over the world dream of seeing the beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. It's always one of their dreams to watch the sun going down. The sun drops like a ball of bright fire into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can even see it move.
About two thousand years ago, the first people went to Hawaii in a very small boat. They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees. But it was difficult for people to go to Hawaii at that time. And there were no big hotels like the ones today. Now people can get to Hawaii in different ways. More and more people go to Hawaii. So lots of nice big hotels have been built in recent years. However, the scenery (自然景色) in Hawaii hasn't changed much. The white sand beaches and the waving palm trees are still there. People often have a peaceful time, taking a walk along the water in the morning. At night, they get together to hold parties, chatting and dancing. So if you're thinking about relaxing yourself, Hawaii is surely the first place for you to choose.
判断正误(True or False) 1．The sun in Hawaii drops too quickly for people to see it move. 2．In Hawaii, a large number of nice big hotels have been built in recent years. 3．The scenery in Hawaii is quite different from what it was many years ago. 4．According to the passage, it's common for people to hold parties in Hawaii at night. 5．The passage mainly tells us the first people who came to Hawaii.
文章大意：本文介绍了夏威夷群岛的美丽风景的发现与开发的过程。 1．F 根据第一段最后一句 it drops so quickly that you can even see it move.可知，“太阳下降的如此的快，甚至你能看出它在移动”。而此句意为“夏威夷的太阳下降得太快，人们看不出它在移动”。 2．T 此句与第二段第七句句意相符，意为“最近几年大量豪华的宾馆被建设了起来”。 3．F 根据第二段第八句句意“夏威夷的景色与许多年以前一样美丽”可知，此句句意与原文不相符。
4．T 根据第二段倒数第二句可知，人们经常在夏威夷举办聚会。 5．F 短文主要告诉我们夏威夷的美丽景色被发现被开发的过程，而不是主要介绍第一批到达夏威夷的人。
