33、urists who want a taste of paradise on Earth there is a new place to consider.Mauritius, an island lying off the southeast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, has just been added to Chinas list of tourist destinations.

34、 for the worlds tourists for many years.On December 15 a total of eight African countries were added to the list. The others are Tunisia, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the Seychelles.The island has passed through the controlling hands of a number of European powers, including Dutch
35、, French and British. In 1968, Mauritius won its independence.At present, over half the population of Mauritius is Hindu and another fifth is Muslim. Both groups are descendants(后裔) from workers brought to the island from India by the British. Some Chinese were also brought over to work. There are a
36、lso descendants of African slaves and Franco-Mauritians, the original settlers of the island.One of the best things about the island is the food.

37、urry, Chinese pork, British roast beef and French-style vegetables. Boiled rice is served with just about everything.

39、 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.

42、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。
