I started surfing about five years ago and3in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first 4 was the best feeling I had ever experienced.?
When I try to5 surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my6,there’s nothing like it. It involves body,7,and soul. There’s sand between my toes and cool, salt water all8 us. The feeling I get when I’m surfing across that9,becoming one with the10,is like I’m weightless.?
The one thing I can11 from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge. You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean12 an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive and13.All of these things attract me to surfing and make it ?14 ? from any other sport.?
I’ve15 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 new16,so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start17 the limits of things boys and men used to dominate??
There’re women18 side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys19 the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to20, and they will.?

本文是关于女孩子参加冲浪运动而引起的,作者认为女性也要多参加男性统治的运动。
1.B 前后照应逻辑推理词义比较:如果你询问高中的女生们她们最喜欢的体育运动的名字,她们不是告诉(tell),给予(give),意识到(realize),而是回答(answer)你询问的问题。
2.A 常识运用逻辑推理词义比较:先看语境:前一句的意思是"但是它难道不是男孩子的事情吗?(意思是:这是男孩子的事情。)";后一句的意思是"大多数人当然不……",由社会的实际情况和这两句的意思可以判断出,只是有一部分人(不太多)对此问题(前一句)不理解(understand),不相信(believe),不能作出回答(reply),而纳闷、惊奇(wonder),持怀疑态度,而大多数人却肯定地认为:冲浪运动是男孩子的事情。
3.D 固定搭配:fall/be in love with…爱上……,是固定结构,其它选项没有这种搭配形式。
4.A 常识运用:因为文章是在谈论冲浪运动,冲上第一个浪(wave)去是我经历过的最佳感受,而不是暴风雨(storm)、航海(sail)或船(boat)。
5.C 固定搭配 词义比较:作者想把冲浪运动和其他运动进行比较(compare)。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。
6.D 逻辑推理 常识运用:作者把冲浪运动当作了它的生活(life)的组成部分,她不仅仅只是在假期(holiday)里冲浪,当然工作(work)和学习(study)也不能耽误。in my life是"在我的生活中"。
7.A 常识运用 词义比较:冲浪运动涉及到身体,智力、智慧(mind)和心灵、精神诸方面,这三个方面共同组成人的身心发展因素。
8.C 常识运用 逻辑推理:在海洋里进行冲浪运动,身体的沿线(along),上面(above),旁边(by),而且身体的四周(around)都是凉爽的咸水。
9.B 常识运用 逻辑推理:冲浪运动可能要经过沙滩(beach),有可能是在湖(lake)里,但它主要还是脚踏冲浪板(board)在水(water)面上进行。
10.D 常识运用逻辑推理:冲浪运动是在大海、大洋中进行的,就有和海洋(ocean)融为一体的感觉。
11.B 动词辨析。这里是指我从冲浪中得到的感觉是无尽的挑战。
12.C 动词辨析。这里是指大海会给你数不清的各种各样的浪,没有人能够真正的掌握,所以你不可能成为最好的冲浪选手。所以才说冲浪给我带来了无尽的挑战。
13.A 形容词辨析。这里要填的形容词与aggressive有侵略性是近义词,故sharp正确。
14.D 固定词组。Be different from…与…不同;根据句意可知是指冲浪与其他的运动项目不一样。

17.C 动词辨析。这里是指女性要努力的推进那些男性统治的限制。

If you ask Americans whether or not they think their former president George W. Bush is smart, most of them will probably tell you they don’t think so. However, Bush’s IQ score is estimated to be above 120, which puts him in the top ten percent of the population.
It doesn’t seem to make sense. How come someone with such an IQ score is not considered smart? Researchers say: IQ does not tell the whole story. Some people have high IQ scores, but still they can be poor thinkers and decision-makers.
Keith Stanovich, a Canadian professor of human development and applied psychology, has been looking into the “clever fools” phenomenon for 15 years. He says IQ tests are very good at measuring certain mental faculties(能力), including logic, learning ability, working-memory capacity (how much information you can hold in mind), etc. Those faculties play a part in one’s academic success, but rational thinking is more important for us to make good judgments in real-life situations.
IQ tests fail to work when it comes to rational thinking. That’s because they are unable to assess things such as a person’s ability to weigh up information, or whether an individual can set aside the cognitive biases(认知偏差)that may be misleading.
“A high IQ is like height in a basketball player,” says David Perkins, who studies thinking and reasoning skills at Harvard University. “It is very important, all other things being equal. But all other things aren’t equal. It takes a lot more to be a good basketball player than being tall, and it takes a lot more to be a good thinker than having a high IQ.”
