2．BASE Jumping
BASE jumping is a very dangerous sport of using a parachute to jump from fixed objects．It has become popular with those individuals who are constantly looking for new and exciting things to do．Because BASE jumping is very dangerous，it is sometimes considered a"stunt"（绝技）or"daredevil activity"rather than a sport．
BASE stands for the four categories of fixed launch points for a BASE jump：building，antennae，span（bridge），and earth（cliff）．"BASE numbers"are awarded to those jumpers who have completed at least one jump from each of the categories．A BASE number qualifies a participant as a recognized BASE jumper．
Carl Boenish made the first official BASE jump from the Troll Wall in Norway in 1984．Unfortunately，Carl Boenish was killed two days after that first BASE jump as he tried to make another BASE jump off the Troll Wall．Improvements in equipment have helped reduce BASE jumping deaths．Still，many people，including experienced and skilled jumpers，are still injured or killed every year．There are no reliable statistics on the number of people killed or injured while BASE jumping，but it is certainly more dangerous than skydiving．Because of the high death rate，BASE jumping has not gained widespread acceptance．This is also one of the reasons that it is illegal in many countries，A BASE jumper needs to get permission to use both the place from which the jump starts and the landing area．Some places，like the Troll Wall，are banned because of the high level of danger．However，many sites are still open to jumpers．
BASE jumping is something that teenagers shouldn't do．It can easily injure or kill them．It also requires a lot of time，energy and money．As parents expect their children to have good judgment，they should think hard before they do anything that is really dangerous．

20．The following are the results of the tests done by"Family and Home Magazine"on some Pocket Tape-Recorders on the market now．
Pearlcorder S702 64
This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording．Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible，but it doesn't turn off automatically．
Tape length：30minutes per side．Weight：240g．
Sony M9  49.95
Small and very good looking，Sony's latest offering scored most for its appearance．Sounds clear，but there is slight machine noise．The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders．It doesn't switch off automatically，but a red light shows if the machine is still running．
Tape length：60minutes per side．Weight：195g．
Sony M400 115
Lots of little control buttons that make a noise are difficult to use．Recording is good but machine noise loses points．Tape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful．
Tape length：60 minutes per side．Weight：230g．
Imperial OEM MC7 29.95
Cheap and simple compared with the rest，but recording is good as long as there is no background noise．Use only its own-make of cassette．No light to show it is on； no fast-forward button and the record button makes a loud noise．
Tape length：30 minutes per side．Weight：285g．
Philips 585 80
Handsome and simple to use，but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm-designed for dictation．No recording light．
Tape length：15 minutes per side．Weight：220g．

60．The machine that produces the best recording with the least unwanted noise isA．
A．Pearlcorder S 702    B．Sony M9     C．Sony M400 D．Imperial OEM MC7
61．If you want a machine which turns off automatically and weighs very little you should chooseC
A．Pearlcorder S 702     B．Sony M9   C．Sony M400     D．Philips 585
62．Which of the following allows you to record longest but costs you least？D
A．Philips 585     B．Imperial OEM MC7   C．Sony M400     D．Sony M9
63．What disadvantage does only the Imperial OEM MC7 have？B
A．No light shows when it is on．B．It requires a special cassette．
C．It picks up background noise．D．The record button makes a noise．

18．Masako Kai
I don't think it's good for teens to devote so much time to training for the Olympics because I think that too much pressure is not good for anybody and some young athletes want to do other things．If they are training all day for the Olympics，they will forget how to enjoy athletic events and will hate them．They need to take a rest sometimes．
Hiromi Maruyama
I think if the teenager wants to take part in the Olympics，to practice many hours each day is not bad．Watching the Olympics on TV．I feel like taking part in the Olympics．Then I am willing to make that kind of sacrifice（牺牲）．It is very good memory and gives confidence to athletes，so I think that if teenage athletes spend a lot of time on practice，it is good．
Ai Onitsuka
I think it's not good for youngsters，but if they want to win the Olympic Games，they have to practice many hours every day．Most young people want freedom，but if they want to accomplish something，it is important that they accept some restrictions（限制）．
Maybe they feel very annoyed and they want to stop their practice，but these feelings are connected to their strong will to win the Olympic Games．But it is more important that they take holidays sometimes．They have to refresh their feelings，so they can practice with new spirit．
Meiko Miyagawa
Most Olympic athletes start practicing sports in early childhood．The practice is very hard．Sometimes they cry，but they continue the practice because they like their sports．When I watched a TV sports interview，a small girl said，"I want to become an Olympic champion．"I was surprised because the girl was only 6years old．

65．What are the four people talking about？D
A．How teens practice for the Olympics．
B．Why teens want to take part in the Olympic Games．

67．According to Ai Onitsuka，D．
A．young athletes should practice hard every day
B．young athletes usually feel annoyed during the training

Dear Mayor，
I am Li Yue，a seniorⅡstudent．Recently I've read in the newspaper that our government will provide citizens with free bicycles to travel around．The majority of citizens are delighted to hear his discussion，while there are still some different voices，worrying that it will merely be a waste of money．
There is no doubt that this decision will encourage more citizens to ride bicycles．Consequently，it contributes to reducing thge traffic pressure in our city as well as the emission or the greenhouse gases，thus in a way slowing the process of global warming．For us citizens，not only is riding bicycle an economic way to transport but it offers us a good chance to exerciseThank you for reading my letter．I am sure all citizens are looking forward to a more convenient life and a greener world．
Yours faithfully，

Li Yue．

13．Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s．The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong．People watched him，and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach．Popeye helped sell 33percent more spinach than before!Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets．Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable．
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong，but this is not true．Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable．
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake．In the 1890s，a group of people studied what was inside vegetables．This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did．The group wrote the number wrong，and everyone accepted it．
Today，we know that the little iron in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is．However，spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid．
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong．Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along．
59．A good title for this reading passage isB．
A．Popeye the Sailor
B．The Truth About Spinach
C．A Mistake with Numbers
D．Folic Acid Makes You Strong
60．Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor？A
A．They thought spinach made them strong．
B．They thought Popeye was funny．
C．Spinach had a lot of iron．
D．People liked folic acid．
61．A research group told people that spinachD．
A．made Popeye strong
B．was a green vegetable
C．had less iron than other green vegetables
D．had more iron than other green vegetables
62．The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength fromB．
