题目内容

【题目】Come out and let us teach you how to skydive today! We are located in Xenia, Ohio and is within a reasonable driving distance of major cities in Ohio. Situated on a private airport, Skydive Greene County offers world-class training. We didn’t start skydiving but we are Ohio’s oldest skydiving school which opened in 1961!

Tandem Skydiving

Tandem skydiving is required if this is your first time skydiving. After filling out paperwork and watching a short video, you will be ready to make your skydive. Somewhere around 11,500 feet you will be secured to your tandem instructor. The door will open and you exit the plane.

Your freefall with your instructor will last for approximately 40-50 seconds. We can almost guarantee this will be the most exciting minute of your life as you reach the speed of around 120 mph, falling for about two miles back to the earth!

Don’t forget to have a video taken of your skydive to show all those that didn’t think you would jump from an airplane!

Static Line Courses

Once you have made your tandem skydiving, you can move on to our Static Line Program. The Static Line Jump is the traditional way to learn to skydive. We have classes throughout the year. Every student will be led through the entire day by a licensed instructor. Never does the student feel unattended.

Once training is over, students will make their first jump on that very same day! If the weather does not cooperate, you can come back the next day, or we will re-schedule a time to make your skydive.

试题分析:本文是一篇关于教读者如何跳伞的一个学校广告宣传。

【1】 细节理解题。排除法。选项A，从文中第一段。Skydive Greene County offers world-class training. 跳伞格林县提供世界一流的培训，并未指在Ohio提供培训。故A错误；选项B，从文中第一段We didn’t start skydiving but we are Ohio’s oldest skydiving school which opened in 1961! 刚开始我们没有跳伞，但我们是俄亥俄州最古老的跳伞学校，在1961年创办的！，该学校只是在俄亥俄州是最古老的，并不定是美国最古老的，故B错误；选项D，从文中第五段Every student will be led through the entire day by a licensed instructor. 每个学生将被一个有执照的教练通过整整一天的指导。故D错误。而选项C，从文中第三段Your freefall with your instructor will last for approximately 40-50 seconds. 你和你的导师的自由落体状态将持续大约 40-50 秒。以及We can almost guarantee this will be the most exciting minute of your life as you reach the speed of around 120 mph, falling for about two miles back to the earth! 我们几乎可以保证当你达到大约 120 英里的时速，大约两英里落回地球，这将是你生命中最刺激的一分钟 ！故选C。

【2】细节推断题。从文中第二段Somewhere around 11,500 feet you will be secured to your tandem instructor. 在某处你会固定在你的双人教练11,500英尺左右。所以可知双人跳伞将不得不与专业教练一起。故选B。

【3】细节分析题。结合第六段Once training is over, students will make their first jump on that very same day! 培训结束后，学生将尝试他们在当天的第一跳 ！可知学生们会马上尝试自由下落，故选D。

【题目】On a freezing cold day, a couple had to move into a small apartment because of their failure in business．The husband worked day and night to support the family but with no care of his wife．So she thought, “He doesn't love me any more, he just cares about his business ．．．not me”．

One day, she was about to take a shower when he stopped her at the door, “Let me take it first, okay？”“Why not me first？” she asked．“I am tired, honey, you take it later, okay？”She was entirely unhappy．

One day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer．A few words came into her sight．Reading them, she burst into tears．It was his diary：

Today, I was quite sad．She asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said to her, I was exhausted．She was unhappy．In her mind, I treated her not as well as usual, but what could I do? I was not as rich as before! We moved to the small apartment, and there was only one shower in the bathroom．It was so cold to take a shower in such a cold winter．But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warmer．So every day I rushed to the bathroom first．I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer, even if it was only 1℃．

Now I cannot give her a comfortable life, take her to good restaurants, or buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1℃ love．

【题目】After the Summer Olympics are over, when all the athletics have gone home and the television audience has switched off, another group of athletics and fans will arrive at the host city, and another competition will begin．These are the Paralympics, the games for athletes with a disability．But in Beijing in 2008, for the first time, one of the greatest Paralympics will not be taking part．

She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thormpson．Born with spina bifida （脊椎裂） which left her paralyzed from the waist down．Tanni used a wheelchair from the age of 7．At first, she was not keen on sport, apart from horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom．But in her teens, she started taking sports more seriously．She tried swimming, basketball and tennis．Eventually

she found athletics, and never looked back．

Indeed, Tanni’s athletic career took off．In 1984, when she was 15, she pulled off a surprise victory in the 100metres at the Junior National Wheelchair Games．

In 1988, Tanni went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul．She won bronze in the 400 metres．Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelona．Paralympics．Tanni won gold in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 metres relay, setting two world records in the process．In the same year she achieved the first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon victories．

Tanni’s enduring success had been part motivation（动机）, part preparation, “The training I do that enables me to be a good sprinter（短跑运动员） enables me to be good at a marathon too．I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever distance I want to race．I am still competing at a very high lever, but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart．”

Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007．Her wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games．

In spite of ups and downs, she never take her fate lying down．In her splendid life, she has won an amazing eleven gold medals, four silvers and one bronze in series of Paralympics--- a top lever athletic career covering two decades．She has won the London Wheelchair Marathon six times, more than any other competitor, and she has set over thirty world records．

What advice does she have for young athletes? “Work hard at your studies, and then train, train and train again．”

【1】Which of the following sports did Tanni like before thirteen?

A．Basketball B．Swimming．

C．Tennis． D．Horse-riding．

【2】When did Tanni win her first Olympic gold medal?

A．In 1984． B．In 1988．

C．In 1992． D．In 2007．

【3】The underlined word “that” in the 5th paragraph refers to _______．

A．fifty weeks’ training

B．being a good sprinter

C．training almost every day

D．part motivation and part preparation

A．Union is strength

B．Never too late to learn．

C．Well begun is half done．

D．No pains, no gains．

【题目】These days, it seems that almost all of us are too serious．My older daughter often says to me, “Daddy, you’ve got that serious look again．” Even those of us who are committed to non-seriousness are probably too serious．People are frustrated and anxious about almost everything -- being five minutes late, witnessing someone look at us wrong or say the wrong thing, paying bills, waiting in line, overcooking a meal, making an honest mistake -- you name it, and we all lose perspective（理性判断） over it．

The root of being anxious is our unwillingness to accept life as being different, in any way, from our expectation．Very simply, we want things to be a certain way but they’re not a certain way．Life is simply as it is．Perhaps Benjamin Franklin said it best: “Our limited perspective, our hopes and fears become our measure of life, and when circumstances don’t fit our ideas, they become our difficulties．” We spend our lives wanting things, people, and events to be just as we want them to be -- and when they’re not, we fight and we suffer．

The first step in recovering from over-seriousness is to admit that you have a problem．You have to want to change, to become more easygoing．You have to see that your own anxiety is largely of your own creation -- it’s made up of the way you have set up your life and the way you react to it．

The next step is to understand the link between your expectations and your frustration level．Whenever you expect something to be a certain way and it isn’t, you’re upset and you suffer．On the other hand, when you let go of your expectations, when you accept life as it is, you’re free．

A good exercise is to try to approach a single day without expectation．Don’t expect people to be friendly．When they’re not, you won’t be surprised or bothered; if they are, you’ll be delighted．Don’t expect your day to be problem-free．Instead, as problems come up, say to yourself, “Ah, another barrier to overcome．” As you approach your day in this manner you’ll notice how elegant life can be．Rather than fighting against life, you’ll be dancing with it．Pretty soon, with practice, you’ll lighten up your entire life．And when you lighten up, life is a lot more fun．

【1】Why are people easily frustrated and anxious these days?

A. Because their children are disappointing．

B. Because they have to look serious in public．

C. Because life is becoming a greater burden．

D. Because people have lost sensible judgment．

【2】According to Benjamin Franklin, what was the cause of over-seriousness?

A. The fact that people’s perspective, hopes and fears are limited．

B. The fact that people can’t change life itself．

C. The fact that things fail to meet people’s expectations．

D. The fact that circumstances turn out to be difficult．

【3】In what pattern is this article developed?

A. Phenomenon, causes and solutions．

B. Problems, explanation and conclusion．

C. Examples, causes and arguments．

D. Phenomenon, analysis and conclusion．

【4】What might be the best title for the passage?

A. People seem to be too serious

B. Life is simply as it is

C. Hopes can turn into difficulties

D. A good exercise removes over-seriousness

【题目】 I took ______ possession of the house in 1970, but now it is in ______ possession of an old man.
