UNIT 2 课时跟踪检测(一) 阅读理解专项练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Hundreds of extreme sports enthusiasts travel to the Arctic circle in northern Norway each year to surf (冲浪) in freezing conditions.The beaches of the Lofoten Islands are very cold though.Here some surfers explain why they practise their passion (热爱的事物) in these icy waters. Ellen Holgersen Living here in Lofoten has been a dream for a long time.I tried living in places where you can surf just outside your doorstep but it was like going to the gym for me, a lot of people and too simple.Here it's more of an expedition (探险) because of the cold.I love the feeling that you have when you come up from the ocean and you're just freezing cold. Lisa Blom Surfing is life.It's a must.When you're not surfing there are lots of other things you can do, hike, ski, fish ...Lofoten is like a big playground for grown-ups.Winter surfing is best because the waves are usually bigger. Inge Weggen Surfing is freedom.The surroundings here in Lofoten, the mountains, make the whole experience so much bigger because you can have an eagle flying over you and you can look up at the mountains and you take that into that moment when you're surfing.Spring is my favourite time to surf.We get more light and it is nice with the sun.I also love the colder season because that's when you have the best waves. Ole Kristian Fjelltun-Larsen The weather doesn't bother me that much.Winter is more challenging.It's like an extreme form of meditation (沉思), with an extreme contact with nature.In winter, you get very tired physically.The body uses a lot of energy to keep warm, but your head gets really relaxed.You calm down and big problems become smaller problems. 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。四位极寒天气冲浪爱好者分享了他们热爱这项运动的原因。 1．How does Holgersen feel about surfing in warm water?
