【回答】

1.A                分析句子结构可知，those在此是先行词，后面是who引导的定语从句，由关系代词who可以判断，those在此指“人们”，故选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，亚苏尔火山几乎每天都会喷发，故只有C项正确。

3.D                由第二段的第四句Recently，people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano.可知，近来人们开始攀爬亚苏尔火山是因为人们可以进行火山冲浪，故选D。

4.C                由文章第三段内容可知，大多数人熟悉的蹦极是开始于瓦努阿图的彭特科斯特岛的。它最初叫陆地蹦极，是宗教仪式的一部分。具体做法是男人用树藤绑住自己的腿并且头朝下从高塔上跳下，用头接触地面，且不能弄断树藤。每年春天，岛上的土著男人们仍然参加这项令人惊异的活动。由此可知，A、B、D三项表述都不正确，而C项“在瓦努阿图它是一项传统活动”是正确的。故选C。X|k  |B| 1  . c|O |m

5.B                通读短文内容可知，本文主要介绍了瓦努阿图的两项惊险刺激的活动：火山冲浪和陆地蹦极。故选B。
