18.Kitesurfing as a water sport began in the 1980s,but didn't get popular until the end of last century.It is also known as kiteboarding,and in some European countries as flysurfing.Kitesurfing works through wind power(动力) by using a large kite to pull a rider on the water at high speed.
At first,kitesurfing was a difficult and dangerous sport.Now it is becoming easier and safer because of the safer kite design.For an able and strong person,kitesurfing can be a very fun,extremely exciting sport,just like skating on the water with a feeling of flying.It has become more and more popular.
       Compared with other water sports,kitesurfing is easier to learn.A beginner can understand how to operate the kite with 5--10hours of training.And anybody aged from 13to 65can learn.It is not expensive to get the equipment for kitesurfing,which costs 1,000to 82,500.Training lessons  range from 200to 500for two or three hours.With the development of its equipment progress,kitesurfing is becoming even safer.After some training,you
can enjoy its excitement and challenging feeling.
With the rising popularity of kitesurfing,most major seaside cities have kitesurfing clubs.In China,Xiamen is the only place that has the kitesurfing club,which provides professional kitesurfing training and equipments.

分析 本文是一篇说明文.文章通过对风筝冲浪发展历史的简述:风筝冲浪作为一种水上运动始于二十世纪八十年代,直到上个世纪末才流行起来;刚开始的时候,风筝冲浪是一项很难而且危险的运动;现在,它变得更容易和更安全,也变得越来越流行.与其他水上运动相比,风筝冲浪更容易学习:初学者通过5-10小时的训练就可以了解如何操作的风筝,在13-65岁年龄段的任何人都能学习;而且风筝冲浪所需要的装备也不是很昂贵,售价在1000 至82500美元之间;随着设备的不断发展进步,风筝变得更安全.随着风筝冲浪的普及,主要的海滨城市都有了风筝冲浪俱乐部,在中国,厦门是唯一有风筝冲浪俱乐部的地方,提供专业的风筝冲浪培训和设备.通过这些描述从而使我们认识到风筝冲浪是一项借助风力的充气大风筝,带动冲浪者在水上全速前进的一种极具刺激、惊险的水上运动.

解答 56.A.细节理解题.根据Kitesurfing as a water sport began in the 1980s,but didn't get popular until the end of last century."风筝冲浪作为一种水上运动始于二十世纪八十年代,直到上个世纪末才流行起来."可知,冲浪风筝离现在也就30多年.故选A.
57.B.细节理解题.根据Kite surfing works through wind power(动力) by using a large kite to pull a rider on the water at high speed."风筝冲浪是一项借助风力的充气大风筝,带动冲浪者在水上全速前进的水上运动."可知答案选B,意为"风".故选B.
58.A.词义猜测题.根据Training lessons range from 200to500 for two or three hours."训练课每二到三小时200 到500 美元"可知,range是"在…范围"的意思.故选A..
59.C.细节理解题.根据Compared with other water sports,kitesurfing is easier to learn和With the development of its equipment progress,kitesurfing is becoming even safer."可知这些运动的流行是因为它更加容易学也更加安全.故选C.
60.D.标题归纳题.根据Kitesurfing as a water sport began in the 1980s,but didn't get popular until the end of last century以及通读全文可知本文讲的是风筝冲浪的发展历史,答案D正有此意,故选D.

点评 本文简述了风筝冲浪发展的历史.本文总起来说,比较好懂.五个题目,虽说都必须通过阅读全文,并加以推测方能找出答案,但总体来说,只有认真阅读分析,选出正确答案还是较容易的.本题的设计较好,能很好地体现学生的能力,且难度适中.

6.Born into a farmer's family,life was not easy when I was a kid.We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from.I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family.
A storyteller once came to the marketplace,and I went to listen to him.My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job.But that night,while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp,I couldn't help retelling stories I'd heard that day.She listened impatiently at first,since in her eyes professional(职业的) storytellers were smooth-talking men-nothing good ever came out of their mouths.But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories,and from that day on,she never gave me any task on market days,unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories.As a repayment(回报)for Mother's kindness and a way to show off my memory,I'd retell the stories for her in lively detail.Soon,she wasn't the only member of my audience,which later included my elder sisters,my aunts,even my stubborn grandmother.
I knew she was worried about me.Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village,for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much.Mother often reminded me not to talk so much,wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager.However,my natural desire(渴望)to talk never went away,and that is what makes my name-Mo Yan,which means‘no speaking'.This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself,which is important for writers who are also considered as storytellers.

33.Mo Yan lived a/anA life when he was young.
A.hard
B.colourful
C.easy
D.rich
34.From the second paragraph,we can learn thatD.
A.little Mo Yan was interested in selling vegetables
B.his mother was attracted by the retold story at first
C.his mother didn't let him listen to the new stories again
D.little Mo Yan had quite a good memory
35.Why did his mother dislike the professional storytellers?A
A.Because she thought they never said anything good.
B.Because she thought they couldn't make much money.
C.Because she thought they would affect Mo Yan's schoolwork.
D.Because she thought most people didn't like listening to stories.
36.In Mo Yan's opinion,a writer should be aC child when they were young.
A.silent
B.modest
C.talkative
D.trouble-making
37.Which is the best title(标题)of the passage?B
A.My Unlucky Childhood
B.A Storyteller's Childhood
C.My Kind Grandmother
D.More talking leads to success.
