Camping provides outdoor lovers with the relaxation of the mind and inner peace. Here are some common ways to camp. Tent Camping This is the most basic and common way of camping. You can put up a tent in a park, on the beach, in the woods, or anywhere else you like, enjoying a few nights. Tent camping is a great choice for people who don’t want to spend a lot of money to get started. It is perfect for families with children because it creates a special time for parents and kids. Hiking Camping Hiking camping, also known as backpacking, is a type of outdoor camping where you spend the whole day hiking with necessary equipment (设备) on your back. It can last anywhere from a few days to several months. It gives you the chance to get closer to nature. In case of an emergency (紧急情况), you’d better share your travel plans with someone. Survival Camping In this type of camping, you need to learn a variety of skills to stay safe in various outdoor conditions. You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild. RV Camping If you go camping in a motorhome (旅宿车), you will have more time to enjoy the outdoors. With a motorhome, you have almost everything at home, including comfortable beds, kitchens and entertainment. A key step is to find a suitable place for parking. You can also cook and enjoy food in the car and it will feel great. However, this is not recommended for beginners. 1. Which kind of camping is suitable for beginners? A. RV camping. B. Tent camping. C. Hiking camping. D. Survival camping. 2. What do Hiking Camping and Survival Camping have in common? A. They may be risky. B. They require little equipment. C. They are attractive choices for kids. D. They are suitable for family vacations. 3. What is the main advantage of RV camping? A. Lowest price. B. Homely comfort. C. Group fun. D. Wild experience. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要围绕露营展开，介绍了帐篷、徒步等四种常见露营方式的特点。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据Tent Camping部分中的“This is the most basic and common way of camping.(这是最基础且最常见的露营方式)”和“Tent camping is a great choice for people who don’t want to spend a lot of money to get started.(帐篷露营对于不想花很多钱开使露营的人来说，是个很棒的选择)”可知，对于初学者来说，帐篷露营是最基本且常见的方式，成本相对较低，适合不想花费太多金钱入门的人。由此可推测出帐篷露营适合初学者。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hiking Camping部分中的“In case of an emergency (紧急情况)，you’d better share your travel plans with someone.(万一发生紧急情况，你最好把你的旅行计划告诉别人)”和Survival Camping部分中的“You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild.(你需要在野外自行寻找食物，并且在遇到危险时采取紧急医疗措施。找一个有丰富野外经验的同伴会是个不错的主意)”可知，徒步露营和生存露营都有潜在的风险。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据RV Camping部分中的“With a motorhome, you have almost everything at home, including comfortable beds, kitchens and entertainment.(有了旅宿车，你就能拥有几乎所有居家设施，包括舒适的床、厨房以及娱乐设备)”和“You can also cook and enjoy food in the car and it will feel great.(你还可以在车里做饭、享用食物，这种感觉会很棒)”可知，房车露营的一个主要优势是能够提供家庭般的舒适环境，包括床铺、厨房和娱乐设施。故选B。 B Tens of thousands of Californians are turning to an app called Watch Duty as deadly fires sweep across the state. The app shows a map with flame icons (火焰图标)marking where fires are burning. In addition to official government accounts, the app also pulls in data from wildfire cameras, satellite images, and 911 calls. A team of about 200 public reporters — which include firefighters, journalists, and emergency responders — rapidly check that material and then send it to users through the app. Watch Duty was founded in 2021 by a California software engineer named John Mills. “It is not over-engineered by design. With a clear presentation of information, the system is very smooth to operate,” Mills said. Due to that, the app gained 22,000 users within two days of its introduction, It ended with 7.2 million users in 2024. As fires occurred, the app reportedly had more than 600,000 new users. Social media users have encouraged residents in affected areas to download the app in order to track the fire’s rapid movements and stay aware of possible evacuation(撤离)orders. Users receive near real-time information on a fire’s path. “Our team values quality over amount. We’re not in a big hurry to share information that we might have to correct later. We make sure the rapid information being pushed through the app is of high quality,” said Nick Russel, the app’s vice president of operations. “We just want to help people make informed decisions with our app in hand.” Taylor, a local resident, downloaded the Watch Duty app. She said, “It’s like having ordinary people stay up late to ‘watch duty’ during a disaster. It allows us to know the fires nearby, and even shows us where an evacuation center is. Instead of relying on chaotic (混乱的)social media information, communities can stay informed and safe now.” More parts of the world are feeling the impact of the increase in extreme weather events worsened by climate change. Watch Duty is currently focused on tracking wildfires, but it’s looking to broaden its services. It may become a more common companion for people as a range of dangerous weather events, from fires and floods to stronger hurricanes, go from unusual to common. 4. What does the Watch Duty app mainly offer? A. Various fire data resources. B. Personalized safety warnings. C. Tips on future fire movements. D. Detailed firefighting instructions. 5. Why does Watch Duty achieve rapid user growth? A. It allows direct chat between users. B. It has a simple user-friendly design. C. It partners social media strategically. D. It teaches practical engineering knowledge. 6 What does the team focus on according to Nick Russel? A. Reviewing users’ comments. B. Sending dependable updates. C. Checking users’ general decisions. D. Ensuring fast information delivery. 7. How does Taylor consider Watch Duty? A. Confusing. B. Ordinary. C. Risky. D. Valuable. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款在加州野火爆发期间帮助人们追踪火情、获取撤离信息的应用程序 Watch Duty。 【4题详解】 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The app shows a map with flame icons marking where fires are burning. In addition to official government accounts, the app also pulls in data from wildfire cameras, satellite images, and 911 calls. (该应用程序显示了一张地图，上面有火焰图标，标出了火灾发生的地点。除了官方政府报告外，该应用程序还从野火摄像机、卫星图像和911电话中提取数据)”可知，这款应用程序主要提供多种火灾数据来源。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Mills说的“It is not over-engineered by design. With a clear presentation of information, the system is very smooth to operate. (它的设计并不复杂。信息呈现清晰，系统运行非常流畅。)”及“Due to that, the app gained 22,000 users within two days of its introduction. (正因如此，该应用在推出两天内就获得了22,000名用户。)”可知，该应用因其简洁、用户友好的设计而实现了用户的快速增长。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中Nick Russel所说的“Our team values quality over amount. We’re not in a big hurry to share information that we might have to correct later. We make sure the rapid information being pushed through the app is of high quality. (我们团队重视质量胜过数量。我们不会急于分享那些可能稍后需要更正的信息。我们确保通过应用程序推送的快速信息是高质量的。)”可知，该团队专注于发送可靠的最新信息。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中Taylor说的话“It allows us to know the fires nearby, and even shows us where an evacuation center is. Instead of relying on chaotic social media information, communities can stay informed and safe now. (它让我们了解附近的火灾，甚至告诉我们疏散中心在哪里。社区现在可以随时了解情况并保持安全，而不必依赖混乱的社交媒体信息。)”可以推断出，Taylor认为这款应用程序很有价值。故选D。 C In recent years, the concept of “slow travel” has appeared as a reaction to the fast-paced, mass tourism that dominates (主宰) the industry. Slow travel encourages travelers to engage deeply with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities. One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact. By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, a study found that tourists who engage in slow travel produce up to 70% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to those on traditional package tours. Slow travel also allows for a deeper cultural understanding. Instead of rushing through tourist attractions, slow travelers take the time to participate in local traditions, learn about historical importance, and interact with locals. This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, “slow travel” has helped preserve (保存) endangered crafts and save dying traditions. However, slow travel is not without challenges. It requires more planning and flexibility. As travelers need to research local customs, transportation options, and authentic (真实的) experiences. Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget (预算) limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic. Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more aware of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options, such as longer home-stays and cultural experience programs. 8. Which is the benefit of slow travel? A. It can save money on traveling. B. It can be more environmentally friendly. C. It can increase the income of travel companies. D. It can allow travelers to visit more places hurriedly. 9. What can we learn about slow travel from the third paragraph? A. It has little impact on local economies. B. It focuses on interactions with travelers. C. It discourages travelers from learning about history. D. It may contribute to the preservation of traditional crafts. 10. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in this context? A. desirable B. affordable C. practical D. classical 11. What can be inferred about the future of slow travel? A. It will cost less as time passes. B. It will only be accessible to rich travelers. C. It may become more popular in the future. D. It will take the place of traditional tourism entirely. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“慢旅行”这一概念，阐述其减少环境影响、深化文化理解的优势，提及面临的挑战及未来发展趋势。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact. By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint. (慢旅行的核心原则之一是减少环境影响。通过选择入住当地经营的住宿、在家庭经营的餐厅用餐、使用公共交通或自行车，旅行者能大幅降低碳足迹。)”可知，慢旅行能减少环境影响、降低碳足迹，具备更环保的优势。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In some rural areas, ‘slow travel’ has helped preserve (保存) endangered crafts and save dying traditions. (在一些农村地区，‘慢旅行’助力保护濒危手工艺，挽救濒临消失的传统。)”可知，慢旅行对传统手工艺的保护有积极作用，可能有助于传统手工艺的传承。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget (预算) limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic. (此外，受时间或预算限制，慢旅行可能并非对所有人都feasible。对于工作繁忙的职场人士或假期有限的家庭来说，在一个目的地待数周似乎不现实。)”可知，对于工作繁忙的职场人士或假期有限的家庭来说，在一个目的地待数周似乎不现实，因此慢旅行可能并非对所有人是切实可行的。故划线词与C选项“practical(切实可行的)”为同义词。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more aware of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options, such as longer home-stays and cultural experience programs. (尽管面临诸多挑战，慢旅行运动仍在持续发展。旅行者们越来越意识到自身对环境和文化的潜在影响，许多人正在寻求更真实且可持续的方式来探索世界。因此，旅游公司也开始提供更多慢旅行的选项，比如更长的民宿住宿和文化体验项目。)”可知，慢旅行趋势在发展，旅行者需求增加且旅游公司积极配合，由此可推断其未来可能会更受欢迎。故选C项。 D When people think about surfing (冲浪), they imagine a young person riding the waves standing on a surfboard. Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding (趴板冲浪) where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. This sport is getting popularity because it is attractive to people of all ages. As people age, it’s common to lose confidence and develop a strong sense of fear when beginning physical activities, especially those like surfing. Some surfing programs aim to fight these worries by providing expert direction and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. But they’re about more than just exercise. There’s a social advantage that is especially key to seniors. It’s really important to get older people in the water and get them active. A group of women in Western Australia take to the surf every week. These women who are called Granny Grommets have been riding waves in Albany for 25 years. The group began when founder (创办人) Kim Buttfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf, and some older women walked to her and curiously asked, “What about us?” Buttfield decided to teach these women bodyboarding because it is easier on aging knees than standing on a surfboard. She said that there are only two requirements for joining: a positive attitude and members that have to be at least 50 years old. There are now more than 100 women in the group including Glenn Scott who became a member when she was 80. “All you need for a Granny Grommet is a bodyboard and a laugh across your face,” Scott said. Granny Grommets have encouraged other senior surfing groups around Australia and even have gone around the world. There are groups in South Africa and even as far north as France. This shows that all you need is surf, a board, and determination to ride the waves at any age. 12. What makes bodyboarding special? A. Its speed of surfing. B. Its competition rules. C. The ages of the players. D. The position on the bodyboard. 13. What do the surfing programs mentioned in paragraph 2 aim to do? A. Offer expert direction to advanced surfers. B. Tell the youth about health benefits of surfing. C. Help older people get over fears and keep active. D. Encourage social connections among young surfers. 14. What can be inferred about the older women from the question “What about us?”? A. They wanted to learn surfing. B. They disliked surfing. C. They were afraid of surfing. D. They were experienced in surfing. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Being a Popular Surfer B. Getting Old People into Surfing C. Joining in Women’s Surfing Programs D. Pushing Seniors to Attend a Global Surfing Event 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了适合老年人的趴板冲浪运动，并通过澳大利亚Granny Grommets团体的案例，说明冲浪如何帮助老年人克服恐惧、增强社交并保持活力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When people think about surfing (冲浪), they imagine a young person riding the waves standing on a surfboard. Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding (趴板冲浪) where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. (当人们想到冲浪时，他们会想象一个年轻人站在冲浪板上乘风破浪。另一种特殊形式的冲浪，对膝盖更友好，是趴板冲浪，冲浪者可以俯卧在特制的趴板上)”可知，趴板冲浪的特殊之处在于冲浪者趴在冲浪板上的姿势。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As people age, it’s common to lose confidence and develop a strong sense of fear when beginning physical activities, especially those like surfing. Some surfing programs aim to fight these worries by providing expert direction and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. (随着人们年龄的增长，在开始体育活动时，尤其是像冲浪这样的活动，人们通常会失去信心，产生强烈的恐惧感。一些冲浪项目旨在通过提供专家指导和发展社会联系感来消除这些担忧，同时为老年人提供健康益处)”和“It’s really important to get older people in the water and get them active. (让老年人下水并让他们活跃起来非常重要)”可知，这些冲浪项目旨在帮助老年人克服恐惧并保持活力。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The group began when founder (创办人) Kim Buttfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf, and some older women walked to her and curiously asked, “What about us?” Buttfield decided to teach these women bodyboarding (该组织成立之初，创始人Kim Buttfield正在教一对母女冲浪，一些年长的女性走到她身边，好奇地问：“教我们如何？”Buttfield决定教这些女性趴板冲浪)”可知，年长女性因为看到一对母女学习冲浪而提出该问题，之后Kim决定教她们，由此可知，这一问题暗示她们渴望学习冲浪。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding (趴板冲浪) where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. This sport is getting popularity because it is attractive to people of all ages. (另一种特殊形式的冲浪，对膝盖更友好，是趴板冲浪，冲浪者可以俯卧在特制的趴板上。这项运动越来越受欢迎，因为它对各个年龄段的人都有吸引力)”可知，文章围绕“老年人参与冲浪”展开，介绍了适合老年人的趴板冲浪运动，并通过澳大利亚Granny Grommets团体的案例，说明冲浪如何帮助老年人克服恐惧、增强社交并保持活力。因此，B项“让老年人爱上冲浪”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2.5分, 共12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You can picture it already: relaxing with your closest friends and exploring new exciting destinations.

Talk about where you’d like to go and how long a vacation is OK for all. (在预订任何东西之前，放慢脚步，诚实地讨论每个人希望从假期中得到什么。谈论一下你想去哪里，一个假期有多长对所有人来说都是可以的。)”可知，作者建议在和朋友开始旅行前需要进行沟通讨论，A项“有一个全面的沟通”能概括本段内容，故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文的“Will you be together all of the time? (你们会一直在一起吗？)”和下文中的“Will there be one or two main planning leaders? (会有一个或两个主要的计划领导人吗？)”可知，空处也应是问句，即有关旅行具体安排的问句，C项“会有单独探索的时间吗？”符合，故选C。 【19题详解】 根据本段中心句“Have the money talk.(谈谈钱的事。)”可知，本段作者主要建议读者与朋友认真讨论旅游的预算，D项“当涉及到金钱时，人们往往有不同的想法。”符合，和下文“So it’s best to have honest conversations about money.(所以最好还是坦诚地谈谈钱的问题。)”构成因果关系，故选D。 20题详解】 根据本段主题句“Stay safe.

Camping provides outdoor lovers with the relaxation of the mind and inner peace. Here are some common ways to camp. Tent Camping This is the most basic and common way of camping. You can put up a tent in a park, on the beach, in the woods, or anywhere else you like, enjoying a few nights. Tent camping is a great choice for people who don’t want to spend a lot of money to get started. It is perfect for families with children because it creates a special time for parents and kids. Hiking Camping Hiking camping, also known as backpacking, is a type of outdoor camping where you spend the whole day hiking with necessary equipment (设备) on your back. It can last anywhere from a few days to several months. It gives you the chance to get closer to nature. In case of an emergency (紧急情况), you’d better share your travel plans with someone. Survival Camping In this type of camping, you need to learn a variety of skills to stay safe in various outdoor conditions. You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild. RV Camping If you go camping in a motorhome (旅宿车), you will have more time to enjoy the outdoors. With a motorhome, you have almost everything at home, including comfortable beds, kitchens and entertainment. A key step is to find a suitable place for parking. You can also cook and enjoy food in the car and it will feel great. However, this is not recommended for beginners. 1. Which kind of camping is suitable for beginners? A. RV camping. B. Tent camping. C. Hiking camping. D. Survival camping. 2. What do Hiking Camping and Survival Camping have in common? A. They may be risky. B. They require little equipment. C. They are attractive choices for kids. D. They are suitable for family vacations. 3. What is the main advantage of RV camping? A. Lowest price. B. Homely comfort. C. Group fun. D. Wild experience. B Tens of thousands of Californians are turning to an app called Watch Duty as deadly fires sweep across the state. The app shows a map with flame icons (火焰图标)marking where fires are burning. In addition to official government accounts, the app also pulls in data from wildfire cameras, satellite images, and 911 calls. A team of about 200 public reporters — which include firefighters, journalists, and emergency responders — rapidly check that material and then send it to users through the app. Watch Duty was founded in 2021 by a California software engineer named John Mills. “It is not over-engineered by design. With a clear presentation of information, the system is very smooth to operate,” Mills said. Due to that, the app gained 22,000 users within two days of its introduction, It ended with 7.2 million users in 2024. As fires occurred, the app reportedly had more than 600,000 new users. Social media users have encouraged residents in affected areas to download the app in order to track the fire’s rapid movements and stay aware of possible evacuation(撤离)orders. Users receive near real-time information on a fire’s path. “Our team values quality over amount. We’re not in a big hurry to share information that we might have to correct later. We make sure the rapid information being pushed through the app is of high quality,” said Nick Russel, the app’s vice president of operations. “We just want to help people make informed decisions with our app in hand.” Taylor, a local resident, downloaded the Watch Duty app. She said, “It’s like having ordinary people stay up late to ‘watch duty’ during a disaster. It allows us to know the fires nearby, and even shows us where an evacuation center is. Instead of relying on chaotic (混乱)social media information, communities can stay informed and safe now.” More parts of the world are feeling the impact of the increase in extreme weather events worsened by climate change. Watch Duty is currently focused on tracking wildfires, but it’s looking to broaden its services. It may become a more common companion for people as a range of dangerous weather events, from fires and floods to stronger hurricanes, go from unusual to common. 4. What does the Watch Duty app mainly offer? A. Various fire data resources. B. Personalized safety warnings. C. Tips on future fire movements. D. Detailed firefighting instructions. 5. Why does Watch Duty achieve rapid user growth? A. It allows direct chat between users. B. It has a simple user-friendly design. C. It partners social media strategically. D. It teaches practical engineering knowledge. 6. What does the team focus on according to Nick Russel? A. Reviewing users’ comments. B. Sending dependable updates. C. Checking users’ general decisions. D. Ensuring fast information delivery. 7. How does Taylor consider Watch Duty? A. Confusing. B. Ordinary. C. Risky. D. Valuable. C In recent years, the concept of “slow travel” has appeared as a reaction to the fast-paced, mass tourism that dominates (主宰) the industry. Slow travel encourages travelers to engage deeply with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities. One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact. By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, a study found that tourists who engage in slow travel produce up to 70% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to those on traditional package tours. Slow travel also allows for a deeper cultural understanding. Instead of rushing through tourist attractions, slow travelers take the time to participate in local traditions, learn about historical importance, and interact with locals. This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, “slow travel” has helped preserve (保存) endangered crafts and save dying traditions. However, slow travel is not without challenges. It requires more planning and flexibility. As travelers need to research local customs, transportation options, and authentic (真实的) experiences. Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget (预算) limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic. Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more aware of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options, such as longer home-stays and cultural experience programs. 8. Which is the benefit of slow travel? A. It can save money on traveling. B. It can be more environmentally friendly. C. It can increase the income of travel companies. D. It can allow travelers to visit more places hurriedly. 9. What can we learn about slow travel from the third paragraph? A. It has little impact on local economies. B. It focuses on interactions with travelers. C. It discourages travelers from learning about history. D. It may contribute to the preservation of traditional crafts. 10. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in this context? A. desirable B. affordable C. practical D. classical 11. What can be inferred about the future of slow travel? A. It will cost less as time passes. B. It will only be accessible to rich travelers. C. It may become more popular in the future. D. It will take the place of traditional tourism entirely. D When people think about surfing (冲浪), they imagine a young person riding the waves standing on a surfboard. Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding (趴板冲浪) where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. This sport is getting popularity because it is attractive to people of all ages. As people age it’s common to lose confidence and develop a strong sense of fear when beginning physical activities, especially those like surfing. Some surfing programs aim to fight these worries by providing expert direction and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. But they’re about more than just exercise. There’s a social advantage that is especially key to seniors. It’s really important to get older people in the water and get them active. A group of women in Western Australia take to the surf every week. These women who are called Granny Grommets have been riding waves in Albany for 25 years. The group began when founder (创办人) Kim Buttfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf, and some older women walked to her and curiously asked, “What about us?” Buttfield decided to teach these women bodyboarding because it is easier on aging knees than standing on a surfboard. She said that there are only two requirements for joining: a positive attitude and members that have to be at least 50 years old. There are now more than 100 women in the group including Glenn Scott who became a member when she was 80. “All you need for a Granny Grommet is a bodyboard and a laugh across your face,” Scott said. Granny Grommets have encouraged other senior surfing groups around Australia and even have gone around the world. There are groups in South Africa and even as far north as France. This shows that all you need is surf, a board, and determination to ride the waves at any age. 12. What makes bodyboarding special? A. Its speed of surfing. B. Its competition rules. C.
