Surfing: It’s Not Just for Boys Anymore
If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would 36 : surfing. But isn’t that a boy thing? Some people 37 . Most certainly not.
I started surfing about five years ago and fell in love with the sport on the 38 first day. Riding that first 39 was the best feeling I had ever experienced.
When I try to 40 surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my 41 , there’s nothing like it. It involves body, 42 , and soul. There’s sand between my toes and cool, salt water all 43 us. The feeling I get when I’m surfing across that 44 , becoming one with the 45 , is like I’m weightless.
The one thing I can 46 from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge. You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean 47 an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and lowing; others are very aggressive (活躍有力的) and 48 . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it 49 from any other sport.
I’ve 50 to tell every girl I know to do something that people don’t think girls can do. It’s part of being human to advance to new 51 , so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start 52 the limits of things boys and men used to dominate (主宰)?
There’re women 53 side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys 54 the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to 55 , and they will.

【解析】
試題分析:文章的題目Surfing:It's Not Just for Boys Any more明顯地告訴我們,本文是關(guān)于女孩子對沖浪運動的看法,而且提出了一個很鮮明的觀點:沖浪運動并不再是男孩子的專利!
女孩子也能做,而且會有所成就。
1.前后照應邏輯推理詞義比較 如果你詢問高中的女生們她們最喜歡的體育運動的名字,她們不是告訴(tell),給予(give),意識到(realize),而是回答(answer)你詢問的問題。
2.常識運用邏輯推理詞義比較 先看語境:前一句的意思是"但是它難道不是男孩子的事情嗎?(意思是:這是男孩子的事情。)";后一句的意思是"大多數(shù)人當然不……",由社會的實際情況和這兩句的意思可以判斷出,只是有一部分人(不太多)對此問題(前一句)不理解(understand),不相信(believe),不能作出回答(reply),而納悶、驚奇(wonder),持懷疑態(tài)度,而大多數(shù)人卻肯定地認為:沖浪運動是男孩子的事情。
3.本題中的very表示強調(diào),正是在第一天就愛上了surfing。
4.常識運用 因為文章是在談論沖浪運動,沖上第一個浪(wave)去是我經(jīng)歷過的最佳感受,而不是暴風雨 (storm)、航海(sail)或船(boat)。
5.固定搭配詞義比較 作者想把沖浪運動和其他運動進行比較(compare)。connect with連接, 聯(lián)絡,將...連起來;compare with與…比較;tie up with和…聯(lián)系一起;bring帶來,引起,通常不與with連用。
6.邏輯推理常識運用 作者把沖浪運動當作了它的生活(life)的組成部分,她不僅僅只是在假期(holiday)里沖浪,當然工作(work)和學習(study)也不能耽誤。in my life是"在我的生活中"。
7.常識運用詞義比較 沖浪運動涉及到身體,智力、智慧(mind)和心靈、精神諸方面,這三個方面共同組成人的身心發(fā)展因素。
8.常識運用邏輯推理 在海洋里進行沖浪運動,身體的沿線(along),上面(above),旁邊(by),而是身體的四周(around)都是涼爽的咸水。
9.常識運用邏輯推理 沖浪運動可能要經(jīng)過沙灘(beach),有可能是在湖(lake)里,但它主要還是腳踏沖浪板(board)在水(water)面上進行。
10.常識運用邏輯推理 沖浪運動是在大海、大洋中進行的,就有和海洋(ocean)融為一體的感覺。
11.邏輯推理詞義比較前后照應 作者不是從其他運動,而是從沖浪運動中獲得(get)了無止境的挑戰(zhàn)的體會"。再則,前文The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that water,becoming one with the ocean也有暗示。take from減少, 降低;get from從……得到;make from由...制造; keep from阻止, 隱瞞, 抑制。
12.常識運用邏輯推理詞義辨析 你永遠也不會是最好的沖浪手,因為大洋呈現(xiàn)、提供(offer)的是任何人都控制不了的、數(shù)不盡的、各種各樣的海浪。catch抓住,捕獲;include包括,包含;offer提供;collect收集,聚集。
13.邏輯推理詞義比較 有些沖浪手自由自在、嫻熟流暢,有些沖浪手則活躍有力、生機勃勃。注意這兩個句子的并列關(guān)系,應該特別注意free 和 flowing之間詞義的順承和協(xié)調(diào)"自由而流暢",后句的aggressive and__13__也應該是這樣一種意義聯(lián)系,故選擇A,sharp可以表示"精明敏捷的,迅速活潑,有力有為"的意思,其它三項在意義上與aggressive的順承和協(xié)調(diào)相距甚遠。
14.固定搭配前后照應詞義比較 所有的這些都在吸引著我去沖浪,并使之不同于(different)其他運動。注意此段第一句The one thing I can get from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge.也有所暗示。(be) different from和……不同。(be)far from遠離, 遠非;known和right通常不與from搭配。
15.邏輯推理詞義比較 我盡力(try)地勸我所認識的每一個女孩去做人們認為女孩不能做的事情。choose選擇、挑選;try試圖、努力;learn學習;promise答應、許諾。
16.常識運用邏輯推理 朝著新的水平(level)不斷前進是人類活動的組成部分。level水平,水準, 標準, 級別;point 點, 尖端;step步調(diào), 步伐, 步驟, 措施;part 部分, 局部。
17.邏輯推理常識運用詞義比較 所以女孩子們難道不應當應拾級而上,開始沖破(push)男人過去主宰的事物極限嗎?reach到達,伸出;accept 接受, 認可;push突出,突破攻擊;set 放置,樹立,調(diào)整。
18.常識運用邏輯推理詞義比較 在我們國家有女性和總統(tǒng)不僅僅一起坐(sit),步行(walk),戰(zhàn)斗(fight),而且并肩工作(work)著。同時注意句子的一般現(xiàn)在時意義特征,表示經(jīng)常性的行為。
19.邏輯推理詞匯用法 所以為什么女孩子不能夠肩并肩地與男孩子一起踢足球,外出一起沖浪呢?介詞on表示"在……供職"、"(是)…的成員",on the football team的意思是"是/成為足球隊隊員"。
20.常識運用邏輯推理詞義比較 給女孩子一個獲得成功(succeed)的機會,讓她們思考(think) ,感覺(feel)表演(perform),她們就都會有所成就。
考點:考查議論文

SYDNEY 2005-01-01 08:33—Mother of two, Jillian Searle, had to choose between her children when she made a life-or-death decision.
Swept up by mountainous tsunami (海嘯) waves at a Thai resort ( 旅游勝地), she could not hold on to both her young sons and survive . Fighting to stay above the waters , she had to choose which one would have to take his chances in the swirling torrent (漩流).
“I knew I had to let go of one of them and I just thought I’d better let go of the one that’s the older,” she told Sky News television in a report broadcast on Thursday. She said she was accompanied by the two boys, Lachie, 5, and two-year-old Blake, and their father, Brad, who had watched the drama helplessly from their first-floor hotel room, when the waves struck. “And I was screaming, trying to find him, and we thought he was dead,” she told reporters on arrival back in Australia. Lachie was found alive about 2 hours later clinging to a door and, looked uninjured as his mother spoke to reporters.
British surfer (沖浪運動員) Martin Markwell is also a lucky man. He had always dreamed of catching that perfect wave –but when it finally came along, it was a nightmare. He was on his surfboard when he was swept up by a tsunami wave.
“It was really terrible because I was surfing, I was really surfing on a wave I wasn’t supposed to be on,” he said. “As an experienced surfer, when I saw the wave come I realized something was wrong, but I couldn’t escape because my surfboard was tied to my ankle.”
His wife Vicki and son Jake looked on in horror from a hotel balcony as he crashed towards the shore. Luckily , he stayed on top of his board until he reached the hotel , jumped off and got to safety as the ocean rolled back to feed a much larger tsunami wave on its way . The family regrouped and ran to safety just minutes before a giant tsunami wave 10 meters high.
1.When the waves struck, the father Brad .
A. reported the disaster to Sky News television
B. was watching a drama play on TV in the hotel
C. tried to find his son lost in the waters
D. watched things going on , unable to do anything

B. Lachie and Martin both survived from the high waves when tsunami struck.
C. Lachie and Martin were both travelers from Europe on holiday in Thailand.
