accident. now, nine years later, he helps other disabled (伤残的) people learn how to ride the waves in ampsurf. on the coast of maine, he is working with 27-year-old matthew fish, who is partly blind. cummings takes hold of fish and leads him into the ocean. the surfboard floats next to them. fish lies on the surfboard. he tries to stand up on it. after a few attempts (尝试) he is up and riding all the way back to land. “that was exciting,” fish says. a car accident in 2002 took dana cummings leg. he says the crash changed him more than just physically. “losing my leg made me realize how precious (珍贵的) life is and get off the couch and start living. i do more things now than i ever did before. next week i am going to compete in a contest in hawaii,” dana says. one year later dana cummings formed ampsurf. ampsurf is a group that volunteers to hold surfing classes and events for people with all kinds of disabilities. recently, ampsurf took its training programs to the east coast. eleven students attended the class in maine. they came from all over the northeastern united states. dana cummings thinks ampsurf can change the way a disabled person thinks. “most people with disabilities consider himself or herself unlucky and useless, but we want them to see what they can do. who cares you lose your leg or you are blind, whatever? have fun. just enjoy life. take the most advantage of it you can,” dana says.21. matthew fish thinks learning to ride the waves is _.a. boring b. easy c. interesting d. difficult22. when did dana cummings set up ampsurf according to the text?a. in 2002. b. in 2003. c. in 2008. d. in 2011.23. according to dana cummings, ampsurf can _.a. ease the physical pain of the disabledb. help the disabled learn to get used to their life c. change the attitude of the disabled towards lifed. make the disabled pay more attention to their disabilities24. what is the best title for the text?a. dana cummings a great surferb. ampsurf a training groupc. how to learn to live with disabilitiesd. disabled surfers ride the wavesbits a sure sign that summer is over and winter is on the way leaves that were once deep green turn red, yellow and bright orange. it happens every autumn. but did you ever wonder why?the leaves start changing color when the nights start getting longer and the temperature starts getting cooler. some scientists think that as the number of daylight hours shrinks, the leaves stop making chlorophyll（叶绿素）which makes plants green. the reason is that the process of making chlorophyll requires sunlight. but according to horticulture (园艺) educator susan rose from colorado state university, it turns out leaves dont really change color at all. “the fall colors are actually there all along,” she said. “but they are covered by the green chlorophyll. as the chlorophyll stops being produced, the other colors can shine through.” the kind of color that the leaves are going to change to is determined by the plants genetic (基因的) background. in some places, the leaves start changing color in september before autumn even officially begins. in other places, they dont change until late october or even november. some scientists say the leaves have been changing color later than usual in recent years. and they think global warming has something to do with that. in one study, researchers found that the growing season in the northern hemisphere was nearly a week longer, on average, in 2008 than it was in 1982. and a professor from harvard university found that the leaves, west of boston, massachusetts, are changing color about three days later than they used to. however, other scientists disagree with the global warming theory. susan rose said the leaves in her part of colorado are changing “right on schedule.” but the leaves in other parts of that state are running a little late. “the lateness in the mountains may have something to do with the really warm late summer and early fall,” she said. “but im afraid thats just a guess.”25. according to susan rose, _.a. the fall colors are always in leavesb. leaves make chlorophyll all the seasonsc. leaves changing color have nothing to with the weatherd. leaves begin changing color because they start making chlorophyll26. the underlined word “shrinks” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _.a. reducesb. increasesc. lasts d. appears27. scientists guess leaves change color later than usual probably as a result of _.a. genetic background b. dry weatherc. global warming d. low temperature28. the purpose of the last paragraph is to tell readers _.a. why leaves change color at fall b. leaves change color at different timec. the effects of the global warming on plantsd. different opinions on the lateness of leaves changing colorcanimal moms are great moms. you might be surprised at some of these moms.octopuses (章鱼)the mother octopus lays about 50,000 eggs. for about 300 days, she stays with the eggs, cleans them and protects them. she does not leave to feed. however, this animal mom dies as soon as the eggs are hatched (孵化). crocodilesa crocodile mother puts a lot of time and effort into raising her babies. she starts by building a nest (巢), which she guards for over two months! when the eggs are ready to hatch, the young crocs call out to their mother, who digs them out and helps them hatch. she then carries them in her mouth down to the water, where she will guard them for several more weeks or months until they learn to hunt on their own.bats bats become moms by hanging head up in a cave, giving birth. catching the youngster before it can fall to the ground below, she puts it in a pouch (育儿袋). bat moms may carry babies with them when feeding for the first few days. as the little bats get bigger and heavier, moms help them hang on the wall of their caves and return often to feed them. it continues for about three weeks, until the babies are grown up and able to fly on their own.koalas (考拉)the animal mom gives birth after a pregnancy (怀孕期) of only 35 days. the hairless baby climbs into its mothers pouch and lives there for another five months. when the little koala is between five and eight months old, it leaves the pouch for short periods of time but returns for safety. once it is too big to return to the pouch, it will climb onto its mothers back and ride there until it is about 12 months old.29. which animal moms die when their babies are born?a. octopuses.b. crocodiles.c. bats. d. koalas.30. a crocodile mother usually carries her baby to the water _.a. in her mouth b. on her backc. in her pouchd. by her tail31. a bat mom _. a. gives birth by lying in the nestb. gives birth by hanging in a cave c. leaves its babies in the pouch for monthsd. lets its babies live on their own after birth32. how long does a young koala usually stay with its mom?a. 35 days.b. 5 months.c. 8 months.d. 12 months. ddriving in canada is similar to driving in many parts of the united states. distances and speeds, however, are posted in kilometers per hour and some signs, particularly in quebec, may only be in french. unless otherwise posted, the maximum (最大限度的) speed limit in canada is 50km/hr in cities and 80km/hr on highways. on rural highways, the posted speed limit may be 100km/hr. it is illegal to take automobile radar detectors (汽车雷达检测器) into quebec,

rural areas. highway 401, from detroit to montreal, is one of the busiest highways in north america. it has been the scene of many deadly traffic accidents due to sudden and severe weather changes,
