That‟s because he is completely blind.When Derek was born, over 24 years ago, he got his name from Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Ernesto dreamed that his son would share the talent of his uncle, a professional surfer. Unfortunately, Derek was born completely blind, but this didn‟t stop his family from believing that he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer.At age 2, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard. He was always comfortable in the water and surfing was in his blood, but he didn‟t actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when his father bought him a surfboard. His father laught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practicing, but after successfully standing upon the surfboard, Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Emesto‟s dream and become a professi onal surfer. So he joined the Praia do Moroo surf school, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru.Standing up on a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing, while gathering the courage to take on Hawaii‟s board-breaking Pipeline is another. But that‟s exactly what Derek Rabelo set out to do just months after learning how to surf. Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers like Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning. Now 24, Rabelo has been surfing the Pipeline every winter since.25. What does the first paragraph tell us?A. Good eyesight is necessary for becoming good surfers.B. Nobody has ever conquered Hawaii‟s big wave break.C. Derek Rabelo is the only blind pro fessional surfer to conquer Hawaii‟s big wave break.D. Derek Rabelo dreams to conquer Hawaii‟s big wave break.26. How did Emesto behave after Derek was born?A. He named him after his uncle.B. He never lost confidence in him.C. He sent him to a surfing champion.D. He started his own interest in surfing.27. After Derek was able to stand up on the surfboard, he .A. began to try riding a waveB. was no longer afraid of waterC. realized he still had a long way to goD. knew his father‟s dream had come true28. Which of the following words can best describe Derek according to the last paragraph?A. Brave and confident.B. Skillful but proud.C. Thoughtful and modest.D. Courageous but stubborn.C“Indeed,” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects(昆虫) as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火虫). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install (安装)an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others‟ conversation. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to chea t”, and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering …a bug‟ in his invented record player.”29. We learn from paragraph 1 that .A. Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugB. George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugC. The word bug was still popularly used in England in the 19th centuryD. Both English men and Americans used the word bug in the 18 century.30. W hat does the word“flaw” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Fault.B. Explanation.C. Source.D. Finding.31. The passage is mainly concerned with .A. the misunderstanding of the word bugB. the development of the word bugC. the public views of the word bugD. the special meanings of the word bugDHow to deal with waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal (处理)problem becomes increasingly difficult.During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select faraway spot as a dump site. Residents or trash haulers (垃圾拖运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped(倾倒) the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的) neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.Awareness of pollution dangers has led to more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city‟s reusable waste.32. The most suitable title for this passage would be .A. Places for Disposing WasteB. Waste Disposal ProblemC. Ways of Getting Rid of WasteD. Waste Pollution Dangers33. During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for .A. recycling itB. burying itC. burning itD. throwing it into rivers34. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A. Farm areas don‟t accept waste from the city in modem society.B. There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.C. Ways to deal with waste in modem society stay the same.D. It is not difficult to find space to bury waste in modem society.35. The main purpose of writing this article is to .A. tell people a better way to get rid of the wasteB. warn people of the pollution dangers we are facingC. call on people to take part in recycling programsD. draw people‟s attention to waste management第二节(共5小题，每小题2 分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
