You know all about snowboarding, skiing, and surfing. Those sports are very popular. But if you don’t live near any snow or near the beach. What can you do
There is one thing that you can try. It is called sandboarding. Sandboarding is a lot like snowboarding, but you don’t do it in snow. You do it in the sand(沙). When you ski or snowboard, you can go down a mountain. When you go sandboarding, you surf(冲浪) down a dune — a mountain that is made of sand.
To try this sport, all you need is a sandboard. A sandboard is very similar to a snowboard or a surfboard. It is long, hard, and flat(平的). We have to say that sandboarding isn’t as popular as snowboarding. For this reason, sandboards are harder to find.
Sandboarding is a small sport that is getting more and more popular in some hot countries. Right now there isn’t an international sandboarding championship(比赛). But countries like Australia, Dubai and Egypt all have sandboarding classes for people who want to learn. In western America, there is a place called Sand Master Park. It has classes and shows for sandboarding.
Sandboarding may never be as popular as skiing or snowboarding. However, it has one very big advantage(优点). You can only go snowboarding in the winter. After the snow is gone, you can’t keep doing your hobby. But you can go sandboarding all year round.
28. What does the underlined word “dune” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. 山脉. B. 沙丘． C.雪地.
29. Why are sandboards difficult to find
A. Because they are expensive.
B. Because they are difficult to make.
C. Because sandboarding is not popular.
30. Which of the following is TRUE about sandboarding according to the passage
A. It’s easier to learn than snowboarding.
B. You can do it at any time of year.
C. It is getting as popular as snowboarding now.
31. What is the best title(标题) for the passage
A. Surfing in the Sand
B. Ways to go sandboarding
C. Advantages of sandboarding
