Question

【題目】Kenji Croman 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 literally heard every bone in my body crack．”he said．

Croman has been photographing ocean waves since 2008，sometimes risking his life to get that perfect shot at the surf break．Despite the risks and certain injuries that come with wave photography, the Hawaii resident，body surfer and former competitive swimmer wouldn’t do anything else．The 36-year-old photographer loves the thrill of meeting breaking waves head on，shooting waves as his interest and shooting surfers to pay the bills．

The process of photographing 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，waves and tide will be like at certain times．Croman has both a primary 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 impact of the 10-foot wave that crashed on top of him．

The hardest part of Croman’s job is staying calm in the face of breaking waves when his initial reaction is to panic 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．

試題分析: 本文介紹了36歲的攝影師Kenji Croman冒著生命危險去海洋里拍攝海浪的故事。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。從文中第一段Kenji Croman 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．Kenji Croman 已經(jīng)摔碎他的骨頭，他肩和肘關(guān)節(jié)，而且?guī)缀跹退懒撕脦状�。他也與鯊魚有三次近距離接觸多年了。Kenji Croman的工作應(yīng)該說是很有危險性的，而他卻一直在做，盡管受了很多次傷，可知他的工作是很需要勇氣的，故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。從文中第二段The 36-year-old photographer loves the thrill of meeting breaking waves head on，shooting waves as his interest and shooting surfers to pay the bills．這位36歲的攝影師熱愛那種刺激，遇到破碎波浪出現(xiàn)，將拍攝波浪作為他的興趣且拍攝沖浪者為了支付賬單。故可知他靠拍攝沖浪者來謀生。故選C。

【3】細節(jié)分析題。從文中第四段The process of photographing waves requires more than just swimming out to where the surf breaks and waiting，he says．拍攝波浪過程不僅僅需要游泳到打破了海浪和等待的地方，他說。以及to see what the winds，waves and tide will be like at certain times．來看風(fēng)，海浪和潮汐在確定的時間會是像什么樣子。從這些可以看出，拍攝海浪前的準(zhǔn)備工作有很多，故Kenji Croman查看一些網(wǎng)站，是為了做更好的準(zhǔn)備。故選A。

【4】主旨理解題。從全文可以看出，攝影師Kenji Croman每次都是冒著很大的危險去海洋里拍攝海浪，他會為自己的攝像機做好保護，卻沒有很好的方式來保護自己。故選B。
