For any surfer, nothing beats the idea of just hanging out in a beach riding the waves all day. The thrill of riding giant breaks and staying there a minute or two is enough to thrill any surfer. Some surfers save money just to go to certain locations around the world to experience the waves they will cherish their whole life. Read on and we’ll tell you where to go and what’s the best place in the world to surf ever.
Let’s start with the simplest. Cocoa Beach in Florida is one of the key surfing destinations in US. However, don’t go there during summer as the waves could be unpredictable, and most of the time you’ll just end up sitting there for nothing at all. The good thing about this beach is that you can still enjoy the waters and the party mood especially in summer time. The best time to go this beach for surfing is from November to March, that’s right: winter season. During these months the Atlantic winds becomes stronger and the water responds perfectly! Expect to have waves that will reach up to 10 feet. The beach is perfect for beginners in the sport.
Of course we don’t want to leave out the state that started it all: Hawaii. Specifically Oahu, Hawaii; which is the home to one of the biggest waves on earth. During winter months, the waves could reach up to 20 feet. During summer, the place is surprisingly calm. There are various beaches in Oahu that cover at least 20 miles of beautiful white sand shores. Among them perfect for surfing is Ehukai Beach and Waimea Beach which are paradise for most surfers as they try their skills to the dangerous waves of Hawaii. It’s just a humble tribute to the islands that started this great sport.
Next is the unofficial place for surfing in USA. Calling itself Surf City, USA, Huntington is the home for many known surfers around the country and the world. People from all parts of the country visit this place just to enjoy the perpetual sun and waves in any given month. If you’re still not sure about this place, just ask its 11 million annual visitors.
If Oahu is the surfers’ paradise, then this one should be the heaven. Tell any avid surfer about Jeffrey’s Bay in Southern Africa and they can tell many tales that go with the bay. 10-foot waves are a regular occurrence in this bay. Every July, all pros in the world congregate in this bay and enjoy the waves in the highly competitive Billabong Pro. Even though the waves are there all year long, it’s best that you go there from June till November. In these months the waves are consistent. During these months the waves are very predictable, making it the best place to surf. Watch out for the waves that you can ride for as long as three minutes.
The author mentions "the waves that you can ride for as long as three minutes" at Jeffrey’s Bay in order to illustrate
选项
A、that such waves are only rare occurrences.
B、that such waves are best for competitions.
C、how dangerous the waves may become.
D、how consistent the waves may become.
答案
D
解析
根据题干中双引号里的内容和Jeffrey’s Bay定位到最后一段最后三句。这三句围绕的主题是:6月到11月Jeffrey’s Bay的海浪是consistent和predictable的,最后一句(即题干双引号里的内容)用于支持这个主题,由此可见,本题应选D。
