【主旨大意】本文介绍了希腊的一个能帮助使用轮椅的残疾人享受大海的系统。
24. C【点拨】different不同的；easy容易的；difficult困难的；common正常的。根据第一段首句“People who have trouble walking or ... have a hard time enjoying the beach.”可知，不能走或移动的人很难享受海滩，因此可以推断，在海滩上用轮椅移动是很困难的。故选C。
25. A【点拨】disabled残疾的；healthy健康的；happy快乐的；bored无聊的。根据上文“offer a new way to people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves”可知，这个系统的使用对象是用轮椅的人，由此推断，此处表示使残疾的游客容易移动。故选A。
26. B【点拨】mainly主要地；safely安全地；finally最终地；well好，对。上文提到坐轮椅的游客，因此应该是“安全地”。故选B。
27. C【点拨】make制造；warn警告；solve解决；decide决定。Seatrac就是设计用来解决这个问题的。故选C。
28. D【点拨】根据上文“visitors to move around easily, or to get in and out of the sea”可知，此处指Seatrac可将残疾人平稳顺利地送入海中。故选D。
29. A【点拨】brings带来；takes带走；fetches拿来；creates创造。根据下文可知，是把椅子带回到斜坡的顶部，bring...back意为“把……带回来”。故选A。
30. C【点拨】take a walk去散步；take a break休息；take a shower洗澡；take a trip去旅行。根据下文“after going for a swim”并结合常识可知，在游泳后应该是去洗澡。故选C。
31. C【点拨】friends朋友；teachers教师；inventors发明家；doctors医生。根据上文“Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece.”及“The idea for it came...”可知，这个主意来自其中一个发明家。故选C。
32. C【点拨】phone手机；car汽车；wheelchair轮椅；boat船。根据下文这个朋友说他喜欢大海，但是不喜欢像一袋土豆一样被带进海里可知，这个系统的灵感来源是一个轮椅的使用者。故选C。
33. A【点拨】chance机会；tool工具；trip旅行；change改变。根据语境可知，此处表示多亏了这个系统，使用轮椅的人们可以有机会去海里凉爽一下。故选A。
