                        Lobos Beach, Chile
    With its dramatic black rocks and sheer cliffs this is a stunning beach location. Year after year dedicated surfers make the pilgrimage to this area in droves during the holiday season, armed with their brightly-coloured surfboards. They come in search of the perfect wave and they are rarely, if ever, disappointed. It’s a place full of energy where the force of the Pacific Ocean meets the long crescent of volcanic sand, creating incredible barrels which curl and break with impressive power—a real challenge for beginners and more experienced suffers alike! All those who come surfing here need to bear in mind the deadly undercurrents and hidden rocks that are potentially lethal. For those who suffer typical surfing injuries, first aid facilities are available in a wooden hut at the far end of the beach.
    Only one hundred meters from the sea you can stay in log cabins surrounded by thick vegetation or opt for the more luxurious atmosphere of the exclusive modern hotel nearby.
Keipi Beach, Hawaii
    This beach is a comparatively short stretch of white, coral sand edged with palm trees. Unlike the more famous Waikiki beach it doesn’t attract large numbers of holidaymakers. One of its main attractions is that it’s perhaps the safest beach for swimming in Hawaii situated, as it is, protected from large waves and strong currents between two rocky headlands.
    Snorkeling fans can enjoy discovering coral reefs and an array of tropical fish in the perfect blue waters which remain warm throughout the year. Snorkeling gear can be retired at one end of the beach itself at reasonable rates.
    But Keipi is more than just a snorkeling paradise: it can accommodate the less active traveler. For those who prefer to chill out and enjoy the scenery it is easy to seek out a shady spot, recline and relax completely.
    Despite its moderate size the beach offers an excellent restaurant, famed locally for its fantastic cuisine, especially fish and seafood dishes, which is ideal for people-watching too.
Porthsea, UK
    Cornwall is famous for its great surfing beaches and Porthsea offers that and more during the brief English summer. You can swim, surf, sunbathe—whatever takes your fancy! Family picnics and barbeques are popular in the afternoons. Not to be outdone by more exotic holiday destinations, this part of Cornwall offers days out in traditional fishing boats to get a closer look at basking sharks and dolphins frolicking in the open water. In addition to this you can visit hidden coves and discover the rich smuggling tales provided by this rugged coastline. The indigo waters are perfect for a variety of watersports but there are also plenty of sheltered spots for curling up with a book and listening to the sound of the waves breaking against the shore.
    There is a backpackers hostel just 300 metres from the sea for those who need to rest their aching bones.
Hylands Beach, Australia

    Situated 4 hours south of Sydney, this has been voted the best beach in Australia due to its pristine white sand stretching as far as the eye can see. Its crystal clear water makes it ideally suited for holidaymakers wishing to fish, swim, snorkel or dive on sweltering summer days. Being located within a nature reserve, it is easy to understand why you can often catch a glimpse of kangaroos on the beach and schools of dolphins off the coast, particularly just after dawn. Facilities include both a general store and a beach cafe. Beach cottages are available for hire for those who enjoy a sea-view but be prepared to shell out for this privilege— it doesn’t come cheap! For a less costly alternative you could pitch your tent in the designated areas adapted for this purpose further inland.
Questions 56 to 60: Mark each statement as either true(T)or false(F)according to the passage.
Lobos beach and Porthsea are dangerous places for surfing because the water there is turbulent. ( )
选项 A、TRUE
B、FALSE
答案B
解析 文章第一段关于Lobos beach的介绍中，倒数第二句指出“All those who come surfinghere need to bear in mind the deadly undercurrents and hidden rocks that are potentially le—thal”，即来Lobos沙滩冲浪的人需记住此处的暗流和暗礁都有致命的危险。而文中关于Porthsea的介绍部分并未提到此处水流湍急。因此题干内容有误。
