试题分析：这篇短文说的是越来越多的人愿意去从事一些比较危险的运动，如爬最高的山，去世界上未知的地方旅行、划船过最大的海等。还特别提到了很受欢迎的一种运动---蹦极。作者分析了这种现象可能的原因。

1.句意：现在人们开始寻找新的刺激。根据这段内容可知，以前人们从事一些像爬山、旅行、航海这样的冒险运动，现在又开始寻找新刺激了。故选B。

2.句意：当你跳下来的时候，这个带子会把你拉上来。这里说的是蹦极这项运动，由上句there is a rubber band ( 带子 ) tied to your legs，结合文意可知选D。

3.句意：过去人们生活在危险中。这里是作者在分析这种现象的原因，过去人们的生活就像一场战斗，但却很刺激，现在的人们缺少了这种刺激，所以才通过参加一些危险的运动来寻找刺激。故选A。

4.句意：很多人觉得生活中令人感到刺激的事情太少了。根据这段文意可知，现在的人们生活的很安逸，工作、生活的地方很安全、商店里有食物、生病时医院了有医生，所以他们觉得刺激的事太少了。故选C。

5.根据文章第一段some traveled into unknown parts of the world可知，去世界上未知的地方旅行是一种危险的运动。故选B。
