1.—What about going to see the latest Chinese sci-fi blockbuster The Wandering Earth?
—________. If time permits, I may go to see my grandma with my mother.
A. Don’t mention it B. It doesn’t matter
C. Forget it D. It depends
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查情景交际。句意：——去看看最新的中国科幻大片《流浪地球》怎么样？——看情况吧。如果时间允许，我可能会和妈妈一起去看望外婆。Don’t mention it常用于回答别人的感谢，意为“不用谢，别客气”；It doesn’t matter常用于回答别人的道歉，意为“没关系，不要紧”；Forget it可用于回答感谢，意为“不客气”，也可用于回答道歉，意为“没关系”；It depends意为“视情况而定”。根据第二个人的回答“我可能会和妈妈一起去看望外婆”可知，第二个人不一定去看电影。他去不去看电影要“视情况而定”，故D选项正确。
2.In many ways, the magic of AI is ________ it’s not something you can see or touch.
A. whether B. what
C. that D. why
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：在很多方面，人工智能的神奇之处在于它不是你能看见或触摸到的。分析句子可知，表语从句中为完整句子不缺成分，解释人工智能的神奇之处在何处，所以用that引导。故选C。
【点睛】本题考查名词性从句，首先判断属于哪种名词性从句，再判断从句缺少什么成分，如果缺少主宾表，用what，不缺少成分和意思用that，缺少疑问词根据句意判断。
3.When I was twenty, I had to________ before graduation and work in a clothes shop to help support my family.
A. come out B. stay out
C. leave out D. drop out
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：我20岁的时候，毕业之前，我不得不在毕业前辍学在一家服装店工作帮忙养活家庭。A. come out出版，发行；B. stay out不在家；C. leave out遗漏，省略；D. drop out退学，退出。根据“work in a clothes shop to help support my family”可知，作者没毕业就辍学工作了。故D选项正确。
4.This is a very interesting book. I’ll buy it, ________.
A. however much it may cost B. no matter how it may cost
C. how much may it cost D. however many it may cost
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查让步状语从句。句意：这是一本非常有趣的书。不管花多少钱我都会买它的。no matter how和however都可以引导让步状语从句，no matter how或however的后面要接形容词或副词，然后再接从句的其他部分，且从句应用陈述句语序。表示花钱多少应该用much，many指代可数名词复数。综上，A选项正确。
5.—The T­shirt I received is not the same as is shown online.
—________？But I promise you we’ll look into it right away.
A. Who says B. How come
C. What for D. Why worry
【答案】B
【解析】
试题分析：句意：我收到的T恤衫与网上展示的不一样。怎么会呢？但是我答应你我们将立刻调查此事。Who says？谁说的？；“How come”怎么会呢？；“What for”为了什么？；“Why worry”为何忧伤；因何烦恼，故选B。
考点：考查情景对话
6.You are supposed to leave your child ________ his homework alone.
A. do B. to do
C. being done D. done
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查动词用法。句意：你应该让你的孩子自己做作业。该题考查leave的用法。表示“让某人去做某事”，应该用leave的复合结构leave sb. to do sth.，没有leave sb. do结构；leave sb./sth. done意为“使得某人/物被……”。B选项正确。
7.It came as a great ________ to the parents that their son finally came back safe and sound.
A. relief B. sense
C. relaxion D. favor
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：他们的儿子终于回来了，这对父母来说是一种巨大的宽慰。A. relief宽慰，缓解，减轻；B. sense感觉；C. relaxion放松；D. favor恩惠。在该句中，it是形式主语，代指“that their son finally came back safe and sound”，孩子安全回来可以缓解父母之前的担心焦虑。故A选项正确。
8.—Julia said she sent you a birthday card yesterday. Have you got it?
—Oh, really! I haven’t ________ my mailbox yet.
A. examined B. reviewed.
C. tested D. checked
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：——朱丽叶说她昨天发给你一张生日贺卡。你收到了吗？——真的吗？我还没有检查邮箱呢。A. examined侧重检查人或事物存在的问题（毛病）、故障或违禁等；B. reviewed侧重再检查、复审；C. tested侧重测验、试验质量、水平等是否合格；D. checked检查、核对、核实，侧重看前后数量等是否一致，也用于判断事物的正误，有无等。根据语境，该处指第二个说话人没有检查邮箱里有没有邮件。故D选项正确。
9.—It’s really great to have a computer to store my photos.
—Don’t count on it too much. It ________ break down and you’d better make a copy of them.
A. must B. can
C. should D. will
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词。句意：——有一台电脑来存储我的照片真是太好了。——别指望太多。这个电脑可能会发生故障，你最好把它们复制一份。本题中情态动词can表示可能性，符合语境。故选B。
10.China’s Chang’e 4 robotic probe entered lunar orbit on Wednesday, ________ a major step in its mission to make a soft landing on the moon’s far side.
A. marking B. to mark
C. having marked D. marked
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：中国嫦娥四号机器探测器星期三进入月球轨道，标志着月球背面软着陆任务中的重要一步。句中逻辑主语与动词mark之间为主动关系，故用现在分词作结果状语。故选A。
【点睛】不定式和现在分词均可用结果状语，但两者用法有区别：现在分词用作结果状语，通常表示一种自然的结果，即属预料之中的事；不定式用作结果状语，主要表示没有预料到的情况或结果，即属预料之外的事。
11.—What a pity! You missed my birthday party.
—Terribly sorry! ________ my uncle not visited me unexpectedly.
A. Should B. Would
C. Had D. Did
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：——真遗憾！你错过了我的生日聚会。——非常抱歉！要是我叔叔没有突然来看我，（我就不会错过你的生日聚会了）。回答句省略了一部分，表示对过去事实相反的虚拟语气，从句用had + v-ed。故选C。
12.The fellow we spoke ________ no comment at first.
A. to make B. to made
C. made D. to making
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查谓语动词。句意：和我们说话的那个人一开始没有发表评论。we spoke作the fellow的定语从句，speak不及物，表示和某人谈话应用speak to sb.故该定语从句补充完整为we spoke to，剩余部分为主句，根据spoke可知，主句叙述的是过去的事情，故谓语动词应用made。综上，该空应填to made。B选项正确。
13.He wrote a letter ________ he explained what had happened in the accident.
A. that B. which
C. where D. what
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：他写了一封信。在信里，他解释了事故中发生的事。分析句子结构可知，“_____ he explained what had happened in the accident”是定语从句，修饰a letter，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导该从句。C选项正确。
14.—What about your self-drive trip yesterday?
—Tiring! The road was being widened, and we ________ a rough ride.
A. had B. have
C. would have D. have had
【答案】A
【解析】
选A。句意：“昨天的自驾游如何？”“太累人了！道路正在拓宽，驾车十分难行。”解时态解关键是找准能揭示句子的时间基点的词语，例如本题中应抓住关键词yesterday，讲的是昨天的事情，所以用一般过去时。
15. ______, his ideas was accepted by all the people at the meeting.
A. Strange as might it sound B. As it might sound strange
C. As strange it might sound D. Strange as it might sound
【答案】D
【解析】
考查让步状语从句。as引导让步状语时，必须倒装，只需要将表语提前，其它使用正常的陈述语序。句意：尽管他的主意听起来奇怪，但是它在会议结束的时候被采纳了。故选D。

这是一篇应用文。本文是Cocoa Beach/Jupiter冲浪夏令营的宣传广告。文章对该夏令营的时间、费用等信息进行了介绍。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。文章倒数第二行提到“click here”，click here意为“点击这里”，能够进行点击链接的只有网站。所以这篇文章应出自一个网站。故C选项正确。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。题干中的“the Smiths”是夫妇，属于成年人，他们的儿子11岁。根据年龄来看，他们应该选择图表中的Family Surf Week，对应时间分别为：May 27th-30th; June2th-6th；June16th-20th; June30th-July 3rd；July 7th-11th；July21st-25th。选项中只有July 22nd在这些日期范围之内。故D选项切题。

【39题详解】
细节理解题。分析题干可知，Mr and Mrs Brown是两人，6月30日到7月3日一共四天，他们有优惠券。根据图表中的“Daily Rate: $125.00/person”可知，在没有任何优惠的情况下，他们应付125×2×4＝1000。根据“A 20% discount will be applied to the 4-Day Surf Camp Weeks”可知，他们可以获得20%的折扣优惠，即：1000×（1-20%）=800。根据Use coupon code：“CAMP5”at checkout to get the 5% discount可知，使用优惠券，他们在结账时还可以享受5%的优惠，故最终他们应付：800×(1－5%)=760。故A选项正确。

Russian police have started a new attempt to get drivers to slow down at zebra crossings by having painted horses as zebras walk across on the busiest streets in some of the big cities in an attempt to improve road safety and raise awareness among Russia’s notoriously (臭名昭著地) careless drivers.
The light grey horses, painted with black stripes, carried signs on their backs reading: “Careful, children are on their way to school.” The police sent the “zebras” to several different locations in the Russian capital, where officials in orange vests walked them over zebra crossings and handed out leaflets (传单) to passing drivers.
Some held up rainbow-coloured umbrellas over the painted animals to protect them from the rain. Russian roads are notoriously dangerous and drivers still rarely take the initiative (主动采取措施) to avoid pedestrians. Nearly half of all traffic accidents in the country’s big cities are caused by cars hitting pedestrians, and a third of those occur on crossings, according to traffic police figures published last month.
In the first six months of this year, 378 people were killed and more than 6, 600 injured on pedestrian crossings in Russia, according to police. In Moscow alone, 43 people were killed, including two children.
Though police officials said that only safe paint would be used on the animals, animal rights activists still disagreed with the idea, accusing the police of “treating animals like garbage”.
“Children understand that paints are bad for animals,” the Interfax news agency quoted president of Vita animal rights group Irina Novozhilova as saying.
Let’s hope this part of the campaign is over and animals are left out of future attempts to raise pedestrians’ awareness.
41. Why do Moscow police have “zebras” walk across on the busiest streets?
A. To make a call on protecting animals.
B. To remind people zebras are in danger of extinction.
C. To tell people it is dangerous to cross streets.
D. To raise drivers’ awareness of road safety.
42. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The zebras. B. The horses.
C. The policemen. D. The drivers.
43. From the text we can learn that ________.
A. most Russian drivers have realized the seriousness of the problem
B. Russian drivers often ignore traffic lights
C. Russian drivers seldom give way to pedestrians
D. the driving skills of Russian drivers are bad
44. What do animal rights activists think of the new attempt?
A. Drivers must slow down at pedestrian crossings.
B. These animals are ill-treated by the police.
C. The paints used on the horses are safe.
D. Road safety should be improved.
45. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude towards the campaign?
A. Critical. B. Reserved.
C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
【答案】41. D 42. B 43. C 44. B 45. A
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。俄罗斯警方开展了一项新的尝试，他们在马身上画上条纹，让马在商业街上走来走去，希望以此提高司机们的安全意识，提高道路安全。文章分析了这项运动背后的原因以及动物保护组织对这种做法的态度。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Russia police have started a new attempt to get drivers to slow down at zebra crossings by having painted horses as zebras walk across on the busiest streets in some of the big cities in an attempt to improve road safety and raise awareness among Russia's notoriously careless drivers.”可知，俄罗斯警方开始了一项新的尝试，试图让司机在斑马线上放慢车速。在一些大城市，他们让“斑马”（被画上条纹的马）在商业街上走来走去，试图改善道路安全，提高素以粗心大意著称的俄罗斯司机的认识。故D选项正确。
【42题详解】
词义猜测题。根据该段内容可知，浅灰色的马身上被画上黑色条纹。警方将这些“斑马”送到俄罗斯首都不同的地方。在这些地方，身穿橘色衣服的警官们领着它们穿过斑马线，同时给过往行人发传单。很明显，them指的是被画上斑马条纹的马，而非真正的斑马。故B选项正确。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Russian roads are notoriously dangerous and drivers still rarely take the initiative to avoid pedestrians. ”可知，俄罗斯的道路很危险，司机们仍然很少主动避让行人。由此可知，司机们很少给行人让路。故C选项正确。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“animal rights activists still disagreed with the idea, accusing the police of “treating animals like garbage”可知，动物权利保护主义者不同意这种做法，指责警方将动物当作垃圾来对待，即：动物们受到了虐待。故B选项正确。
【45题详解】
观点态度题。倒数第二和第三段主要介绍了动物权利保护主义者对警方这一做法的态度。他们认为这是在虐待动物。根据最后一段“Let’s hope this part of the campaign is over and animals are left out of future attempts to raise pedestrians’ awareness.”可知，作者希望这部分运动已经结束，动物被排除在未来提高行人意识的努力之外。即：作者也不赞成这种做法，希望不要用动物来提高行人意识。故作者对此的态度是批评的。A选项正确。
C
NASA has a new job listing, and it’s no joke. The US space agency is looking for a “joker” to join their planned mission to Mars.
A mission to Mars is no laughing matter. On average, the red planet is 140 million miles (225 million kilometers) away from Earth. A trip there would take around eight months in a small spacecraft. And Mars has a communications delay of 20 minutes. This means that astronauts will have to wait 20 minutes for a reply, when an emergency happens.
“When you’re living with others in a confined space for a long period of time, such as on a mission to Mars, problems are likely to occur,” Jeffrey Johnson, a scientist at the University of Florida, told the Guardian.
This is probably why NASA wants an astronaut with a sense of humor. “These are people that have the ability to pull everyone together,” Johnson said.
In stressful situations, perhaps humor is a way to know we aren’t alone. By laughing together, we share our stress. Then we can focus on our jobs instead of just worrying.
There are other examples of team “clowns”. One example is the journey to the South Pole led by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. It was a difficult journey, full of danger. Adolf Lindstrom, a cook at Amundsen’s team, was a “clown”. He made people laugh through the whole journey. Amundsen later wrote that Lindstrom was the most valuable member of the team.
But if you’re hoping that your favorite TV comedian will fly to Mars, that probably won’t happen.
“Being funny won’t be enough to land somebody the job,” Johnson said. “They also need to be an excellent scientist and engineer.”
Besides, they must be in top physical condition.
46. What is NASA’s new job listing?
A. A funny engineer. B. A talented clown.
C. A good cook. D. A popular comedian.
47. What does “a confined space” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A crowded space. B. An empty space.
C. An open space. D. A small space.
48. How does the author think humor can help astronauts?
A. It can stop them from feeling worried.
B. It can encourage teamwork on a mission.
C. It can help them feel less homesick.
D. It can help them know themselves better.
49. What point does the author want to make with the example of the cook?
A. What explorers eat on their journey is very important.
B. An amateur can play a more important role than a professional.
C. Humorous people can cheer people up in difficult situations.
D. A mission to Mars is more difficult than a journey to the South Pole.
50. What could be the best title of the passage?
A. Keeping the Spirits Up
B. A Mission to Mars
C. A New Job Listing of NASA
D. Humorous Astronauts in NASA
【答案】46. B 47. D 48. B 49. C 50. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。美国宇航局有一份新的工作。它正在寻找一个“小丑”来加入前往火星的任务中。文章分析了美国宇航局这么做的原因，还以Adolf Lindstrom为例，突出了幽默感在该项任务中重要性。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The US space agency is looking for a “joker” to join…”可知， NASA想要一个幽默的人加入前往火星的任务中，即第六段中提到的“clown”(诙谐的人)。根据倒数三段可知，仅仅幽默是不够的，这个人还必须也要身体特别棒，而且必须是优秀的科学家和工程师，即他必须是专业方面很优秀的人。综上，B选项切题：一个有才能的诙谐的人。
【47题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“A trip there would take around eight months in a small spacecraft”可知，前往火星的行程非常的漫长，而且是在一个小的宇宙飞船中。而第三段中以火星之旅为例（such as on a mission to Mars），表明长时间在“a confined space”中很容易出问题。那么，很明显，a confined space应该指的是像a small spacecraft这样的小空间。故D选项正确。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“…with a sense of humor. These are people that have the ability to pull everyone together”可知，幽默的人具备将所有的人团结在一起的能力。据此可以推断出这样可以促进人们的团队精神。故B选项正确。A选项错在stop上。根据第五段中的内容可知，在充满压力的情况下，幽默可以使我们分享压力。这样，我们就会集中注意力工作而不仅仅担心了。由此可知，幽默可以减轻人们的担心，而不是阻止人们担心。故可排除A选项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。前五段提到幽默可以帮助宇航员减轻压力。根据第六段中的“It was a difficult journey, full of danger. ….He made people laugh through the whole journey…the most valuable member of the team”可知，Adolf的幽默感使队员们在整个旅程中哈哈大笑，成功地完成了艰难的旅程，所以，他被认为是最有价值的队员。该段以此为例来证明幽默感在困难处境下的重要性。故C选项“在困境中，幽默的人可以振奋人心”正确。
【50题详解】
标题归纳题。文章第一段开门见山，直入主题：美国宇航局有一份新的工作。它正在寻找一个“小丑”来加入前往火星的任务中。下文分析了美国宇航局这么做的原因：幽默感可以缓解宇航员的压力，从而专心工作。文章还以Adolf Lindstrom为例，证明了这一点。最后，文章强调了对“小丑”的要求。文章是围绕美国宇航局的这份新工作为中心展开的。故C选项适合作标题。
【点睛】依据例证猜测词义： 采用事实说理（即例证）以加强观点的说服力或使观点更加明朗清楚是文章写作的常用手法。借助例证获取更多信息，即可实现猜词的目的。常用的例证信号词有： like/for example/for instance/such as; include/consist of 等。 例如在47题中，学生可以根据例证：such as on a mission to Mars来推测出“a confined space”的意思。
D
Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自尊). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their life. They are leaves tossed (摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life. Losers think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe. Thoughts and beliefs cause everything. Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success depends upon our level of confidence. We are responsible for either reinforcing (强化) good habits or kicking bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
51. People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ________.
A. are ready to change their minds
B. are easily affected by windy weather
C. don’t have the power to face their fate
D. can’t exercise control over themselves
52. Losers would think that ________.
A. success is the result of hard work
B. working hard will lead to success
C. their failure is only because of bad luck
D. they don’t make efforts to succeed
53. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that ________.
A. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
B. developing confidence is the key to future success
C. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D. setting our expectations is essential before taking action
54. The last paragraph serves as ________.
A. the proof of the author’s points
B. the conclusion of the argument
C. an introduction to another topic
D. a comparison between two views
55. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Success Is a Choice B. The Secrets of Success
C. Develop Our Confidence D. How to Achieve Success
【答案】51. D 52. C 53. B 54. B 55. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇议论文。文章论述了成功是我们个人的选择，不是偶然的。我们要为自己的所作所为负责任。成功与否取决于个人。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their life. They are leaves tossed by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.” 可知，你的自尊水平总是基于你对自己的控制程度。自尊心低下的人就像树叶一样，被风吹来抛去，随意摆布。由此可知，自尊心低的人无法掌控自己，这一点和树叶一样。故这样的人被比作树叶。D选项正确。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Losers think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible”可知，失败者认为一切都是偶然的。也就是说，他们认为自己的失败也是偶然的，只是运气不好碰巧失败而已。他们没有意识到实际上自己应该为自己的失败负责任。故C选项正确。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Our success depends upon our level of confidence”可知，我们的成功取决于我们的信心水平。由此可以推断出，要想成功，培养自信心是关键。高度自信才能成功。故B选项正确。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段提到：总之，在你生活中的所有领域—不管是经济上、身体上、情感上还是精神上，你都要承担责任。一旦你意识到这一点，接受它，并且坚信它，那么你离成功就不远了。根据in short（总之）可知，该段内容是对上文的总结，故B选项正确。
【55题详解】
标题归纳题。前两段强调：播撒成功的种子，促进成功的种子的成长全都是由我们自己决定的。成功是个人的选择，而不是偶然。只有做出了正确的选择，你才可能成功。第三到第五段是对前两段内容的拓展，强调要想成功，我们首先要培养自尊。只有我们为自己的所作所为负责，我们才能掌控自己，才能培养自尊。我们有责任去强化自己的好习惯，改掉坏习惯。此外，我们还要和思想积极的人交往。最后一段是总结，强调我们要对生活中的各个方面负责，这样我们才能踏上成功之路。根据文章的脉络可以看出，作者在文中强调了我们的主观行为和主观选择决定了我们的成功。故A选项适合作标题。B、D选项实际上是一个意思：取得成功的方式。这两个选项覆盖面太广，而本文只强调了取得成功的部分因素。C选项根本就没有提及成功这个话题，与文章主体内容不符。
【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。例如在第五小题中，学生可以根据前两段和最后一段得出文章中心。

Bethany Hamilton has become a source of inspiration for millions through her story of faith, determination and hope. And now her story has become a major movie which is entitled Soul Surfer.
On October 31, 2003, at the age of 13, Bethany was attacked by a 15-foot tiger shark while surfing just off the shore of Hawaii. Bethany said, “It came out of the blue. I had no warning at all; not even the slightest sign of danger on the horizon. The waves were small and inconsistent, and I was just kind of rolling along with them, relaxing on my board with my left arm dangling (悬摆) in the cool water. I remember thinking, ‘I hope the surf picks up soon...’”
“That’s all it took: a split second. I felt a lot of pressure and a couple of lightning fast tugs (猛拽). Then I watched in shock as the water around me turned bright red. Somehow, I stayed calm. My left arm was gone along with a huge piece of my surfboard...”
Her friends had to get her to the beach, which took 20 minutes of paddling. After losing more than 40 percent of her blood and making it through several surgeries, Bethany was well on her way to recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude. In January 2004, Bethany made her return to surf competition and with no intention of stopping, Bethany continued to enter and shine in competitions. Initially, she adopted a custom-made board that was longer and slightly thicker than standard and had a handle for her right arm, making it easier to paddle, and she learned to kick more to make up for the loss of her left arm.
Just over a year after the attack, she took first place—winning her first National Title. Now she competes with the world’s best and travels the globe.
