第三部分：阅读理解（每小题2分，满分30分）
第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Kenji Groman has broken his bones, his shoulder and elbow and nearly drowned several times. He’s also had three close encounters with sharks over the years. A 10-foot wave landed directly on top of him five years ago, bending his body to the point that he actually kicked himself in the head. “I actually heard every bone in my body crack,”
he said.
Croman has been photographing ocean waves since 2008, sometimes at the risk of his life to get that perfect shot (拍摄) at the surf break. Although there are risks and certain injuries that come with wave photography, the Hawaii citizen, body surfer and former competitive swimmer wouldn’t do anything else. The 36-year-old photographer loves the excitement of meeting breaking waves head on, shooting waves as his interest and shooting surfers to pay the bills.
The photographing of waves requires more than just swimming out to where the surf breaks and waiting, he says. The night before a photo shoot, Croman checks Surfline.com, a website and the coastal camera network that provides live and predicted ocean weather information, to see what the winds and waves will be like at certain times. Croman has both a main camera and a backup for emergencies. He goes without a wetsuit and uses heavy duty underwater housing to protect his camera. There is no great way for him to protect himself. He admits there are probably protective clothes he should be wearing, but there is little he could have done to decrease the influence of the l0-foot wave that crashed on top of him.
The hardest part of Croman’s job is how to keep calm in front of breaking waves when his first reaction is to get frightened and swim away. At most, Croman will take two to three shots of a single wave. “I’ve shot waves for so many years now that I see the wave in slow movement,” he said.
51. What do we know about Kenji Croman's job from the first paragraph?
A. It is a game of death. C. It requires patience.
B. It is full of mystery.
D. It requires courage.
52. How does Kenji Croman make a living?
A. By taking swimming races. C. By shooting surfers.
B. By teaching photography.
D. By surfing waves.
53. Why does Kenji Croman check the websites like Surfline.com?
A. To get better prepared for shooting. weather.
C. To learn more about surfing waves.
D. To buy better equipment for
B. To predict something about
