Kauai, the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands, has some of the state’s most stunning scenery. Rivers and streams flow slowly through jungles of shaded greens. The breathtaking 4,000-foot cliffs of Na Pali Coast rise grandly from the sea. Waimea Canyon, called the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" by Mark Twain, cuts a deep gash through the rugged central mountains.
Rising more than 5,000 feet, Mt. Waialeale stands at the center of the nearly round island. This extinct volcano is considered the wettest spot on earth, with almost 500 inches of rainfall each year. Yet this amount of rain is surprisingly localized. Just a few miles west, there’s a dry region that receives a mere 6 inches of rain annually.
The island continues to recover from its 1992 visit from Iniki, the most powerful hurricane to hit Hawaii this century. A few hotels are still being rebuilt, but Kauai remains as beautiful as ever.
Kauai is not for people who thrive on crowds or nightlife. While it does have its share of resort hotels, shopping centers and good restaurants, and a smattering of museums, art galleries and night spots, its main attractions lie outdoors. Hiking, camping, and scuba diving are excellent on the island. 【題組】48. Which of the following statements is FALSE about the island of Kauai?
(A) The island of Kauai is almost round in shape.
(B) The 1992 hurricane caused serious damage to Kauai.
(C) It is a good place for those who enjoy indoor activities.
(D) In the center of the island rises a high mountain.
