Derek Rabelo is not the only surfer to conquer Hawaii’s famous Pipeline big-wave break, but while all others use their sight to do it, this young professional surfer must rely only on his other senses. That’s because he is completely blind.
When Derek was born about 24 years ago, he got his name from Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Emeslo Rabelo 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 taught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practising, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard, Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Emeslo’s dream and become a professional 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 was 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.
24. What makes Dereck Rabelo special as a professional surfer?

C. He is fortunate. D. He is hard-working.
25. Who is Derek Ho?

C. A surf school coach. D. A professional surf trainer.
26. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Derek Rabelo?
A. His difficulties in surfing. B. His achievements in surfing.
C. His dream to be a professional surfer. D. His early life to be a professional surfer.
27. What words can best describe Derek according to the last paragraph?
A. Skillful and proud. B. Brave and confident.
C. Considerate and reliable. D. Careful and strong-willed.

“Her grades are fine; I’m not worried about that, but she just doesn’t seem to love learning any more,” Alice’s mum said.
She’s absolutely right. I’d noticed the same thing about her daughter over the previous two or three years when I’d been Alice’s middle school teacher, and I have an answer, right there on the tip of my tongue, to what has gone wrong. Yet I’m torn between my responsibility to help Alice and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth I’m not sure this mother is ready to hear.
The truth for this parent and so many others is this: Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar of achievement, and it’s our fault. Alice’s parents, her teachers, society at large — we are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning. From her first day of school, we pointed her toward that altar and trained her to measure her progress by means of points, scores, and awards.
We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her 智力）, and that her intellect is more intellec（t
important than
her character. We taught her to come home proudly bearing grade As, championship prizes, and college
acceptance, and not on purpose, we taught her that we don’t really care how she obtains them. We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular（课外的）perfection at all costs and that it’s better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record. Above all else, we taught her to fear failure. That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning. 28. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that the author .
A. thinks Alice is right
B. is uncertain of the answer
C. hesitates to express an idea D. wonders why the mother is worried 29. Which can replace the underlined words“at the altar of”?
A. instead of B. at the risk of C. at the loss of
D. in the interest of
30. What has really made Alice change her attitude to learning?
A. Being slow in study. B. Fear of bad grades. C. Difficulty in study.
D. Press from parents.
31. What is more important for a teenager in the author’s opinion?
will any of it survive us?
The conventional answer is no. Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no knowing minds around then. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn’t quite dead but dormant (休眠), ready to become alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or come to visit Earth in the distant future.
At first sight, that seems to be reasonable: after all, we have done similar things with past knowledge. For example, we saved an ancient computer from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics（象形文字）
. Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life. However, the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark: we know we are dealing with the legacy (遗赠) of other humans.
Without that link, the survival of objects and raw data doesn’t guarantee the survival of knowledge. And a A. His knowledge. B. His intellect. C. His character.
D. His achievement.

The year 3700, Earth is far too hot for any human to call it home. On this planet at least, man is nothing more than a memory — if there is anything left to remember the“wise man”. But what about our wisdom —
