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     : surfing (冲浪运动). But isn’t that a boy thing? Some people     , but most are certain.

I started surfing about five years ago and     in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first     was the best feeling I had ever experienced.

When I try to     surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my     , there’s nothing like it. It involves (牵涉到) body,     and soul. There's sand between my toes and cool, salt water all     us. The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that     , becoming one with the     , is like I'm weightless.

The one thing I can     from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge (挑战). You can never be the “best suffer” because the ocean     uncountable waves that nobody can ever master. The variations (变化) of surfing styles are wonderful. Some suffers are free and flowing;     are very aggressive (活跃有力的) and sharp. All of these things attract me to surfing and make it     from any other sport.

I've     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     , so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start pushing the limits of things boys and men     to dominate (主宰)?

There’re women     side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys     the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to     , and they will.

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了女孩子对冲浪运动的看法，而且提出了一个很鲜明的观点：冲浪运动并不再是男孩子的专利！女孩子也能做，而且会有所成就。

1.一问一答，answer与ask相呼应。故选B。

2.常识可知冲浪运动一般是男孩喜欢的运动，有些人就奇怪，她是一个女孩，怎么也喜欢它?wonder与文中的“?”相呼应，其他三个选项不合题意。故选A。

3.fall／be in love with…爱上……，是固定结构，其它选项没有这种搭配形式。故选D。

4. 阅读全文可知文章是在谈论冲浪运动，因此用wave。故选A。

5.作者想把冲浪运动和其他运动进行比较。connect with连接, 联络，将...连起来；compare with与…比较；tie up with和…联系一起；bring带来，引起，通常不与with连用。故选C。

6.前文的"with other things"可以看出，答案应选生活，因为冲浪只能说是生活中的一部分，而不应该是工作或学习中的内容；而选项假日又太狭隘，因为，冲浪不一定只能在假日中，平常工作之余也可进行。故选D。

7.根据句意：冲浪运动能增进身体健康，能启迪心智，能陶冶心灵。body，mind，soul分别代表人的三个方面。故选A。

8.根据常识可知人在冲浪时，四周都是水。故选C。

9.冲浪运动主要是用脚踏冲浪板在水面上进行。故选B。

10.冲浪运动是在大海、大洋中进行的，就有和海洋融为一体的感觉。故选D。

11.冲浪而不是其他的运动中，我可以得到无穷的挑战，get sth from．．．意为“从……得到”。故选B。

12.因为大海提供了千变万化的波浪，谁都无法主宰。故选C。

13.

14.根据上下文可知冲浪运动给我所带来的乐趣，让我觉得它不同于其他运动。故选D。

15.根据句意：我设法告诉每一个我认识的女孩去做别人认为女孩子不能做的一些事情。try to do sth．意为“努力做某事”。故选B。

16.朝着新的水平不断前进是人类活动的组成部分。advance to new levels意思是“提高到新的水平”。故选A。

17.

18.句意：在我们的国家有女性与总统肩并肩地工作。故选D。

19. 所以为什么女孩子不能够肩并肩地与男孩子一起踢足球，外出一起冲浪呢？on the football team的意思是"是/成为足球队队员"。故选C。

20.给女孩子一个成功的机会，她们就会成功的。perform意为“表演”，强调的是过程，succeed强调的是结果。作者意指男孩子能做成功的事女孩子也能做好，而不仅是去做而已。故选D。
