【回答】

1.A                分析句子結構可知，those在此是先行詞，後面是who引導的定語從句，由關係代詞who可以判斷，those在此指“人們”，故選A。

2.C                由第二段的第一、二句On Tanna Island，Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the r is an active volcano，and it erupts almost every day，sometimes several times a day.可知，亞蘇爾火山幾乎每天都會噴發，故只有C項正確。

3.D                由第二段的第四句Recently，people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano.可知，近來人們開始攀爬亞蘇爾火山是因為人們可以進行火山衝浪，故選D。

4.C                由文章第三段內容可知，大多數人熟悉的笨豬跳是開始於萬那杜的彭特科斯特島的。它最初叫陸地笨豬跳，是宗教儀式的一部分。具體做法是男人用樹藤綁住自己的腿並且頭朝下從高塔上跳下，用頭接觸地面，且不能弄斷樹藤。每年春天，島上的土著男人們仍然參加這項令人驚異的活動。由此可知，A、B、D三項表述都不正確，而C項“在萬那杜它是一項傳統活動”是正確的。故選C。X|k  |B| 1  . c|O |m

5.B                通讀短文內容可知，本文主要介紹了萬那杜的兩項驚險刺激的活動：火山衝浪和陸地笨豬跳。故選B。
