Question

【题目】An American skydiver has survived a 7, 600-meter jump from an airplane, although he did not use a parachute(降落伞). Luke Aikins dropped into a huge safety net on Saturday after falling for about two minutes over the desert in California. Aikins reached a speed of 193 kilometers per hour during the jump. He fell safe into a net. Cranes(起重机) 【1】(hold) the net about 65 meters over the desert floor. The 42-year-old husband and father has jumped out of planes thousands of times, but never once 【2】 he left a plane without a parachute. Aikins said he was nervous before this jump. “We’re talking about jumping without a parachute,” he told reporters. "I take that very 【3】 (serious). It’s not a joke.” Aikins prepared for two years 【4】(make) the jump. Three skydivers with parachutes made the jump with him. They recorded the event with a video and carried the 【5】 (equip) that Aikins needed, like an oxygen mask. Aikins rolled in the air just moments before he hit the net so as to land on his back. The sky-diver did not move for several seconds as the net was lowered to the ground. Then, Aikins stood, waved his arms and hugged his wife.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】held

【2】had

【3】seriously

【4】to make

【5】equipment

【解析】这是一篇记叙文。美国跳伞运动员Luke Aikins在没有降落伞的情况下，成功从7, 600米高空的飞机上跳下。文章记叙了Luke Aikins成功跳机的全过程。

【1】考查时态。由上一句“He fell safe into a net”可知，该部分描述的是Aikins落下来时起重机的作用，故该句时态和上一句一致，故该空填hold的过去式。

【2】考查倒装和时态。句意：但是，他从未在没有降落伞的情况下离开过飞机。该句指的是Aikins之前（这一次没有降落伞就跳下来）的情况，故该句应用过去完成时态。never置于句首，句子用部分倒装，故该空填助动词had。

【3】考查副词。句意：我非常认真地对待这件事。修饰动词take，要用副词，故该空填seriously。

【4】考查非谓语动词。句意：Aikins准备了两年来进行这次跳机行动。准备的目的是“跳机”，故该空表目的，用动词不定式形式。

【5】考查名词。carry后面缺少宾语，作宾语需用名词，故该空填equip的名词equipment（装备，设备）。equipment是个不可数名词。
