Question

【题目】 Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports activities.Of course，there have always been people who have looked for adventure— those who have climbed the highest mountains，explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans.Now，however，there are people who seek(寻找)a risky activity，which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.

Bungee jumping is a good example of such an activity.You jump from a high place 200 metres above the ground with an elastic(有弹力的)rope tied to your feet.You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground.It__is__reported__that__two__million__people__around__the__world__have__now__tried__bungee__jumping.

Why do people take part in such activities like this？Some psychologists(心理学家)suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring.In ancient times，people had to face danger and difficulties.They had to go out and hunt for food.Diseases could not easily be cured，and there was a continuous battle for survival(生存)．

Nowadays，according to many people，life offers little excitement.They live and work in comparatively safe environments；they buy food in shops；there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.It is necessary for some of these people to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

【答案】

【2】A

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

本文介绍了越来越多的人参加危险运动，以及他们参加危险运动的原因。

【1】推理判断题。根据You jump from a high place 200 metres above the ground with an elastic(有弹力的)rope tied to your feet.You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground.可知，人们在蹦极时，脚上系着一个有弹力的绳子是防止自己撞到地上，因此这是为了保护自己。故选C。

【2】词义猜测题。根据It is reported that two million people around the world have now tried bungee

jumping表示“据报道世界各地200万人尝试过蹦极”，因此蹦极非常受欢迎，故选A。

【3】推理判断题。根据In ancient times，people had to face danger and difficulties.可知，在古代，人们必须面对很多危险和困难，因此古代的人没有被很好地照顾，因此A项不正确。故选A。

【4】推理判断题。根据Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports activities.和Some psychologists(心理学家)suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring.可知，本文作者介绍了很多人参加一些危险的运动，可能是因为现代社会的生活安全而无聊，但是没有说这些危险的运动好或坏。故选D。

认真阅读题干，根据题干要求，在文中寻找答案所在的语句或段落，进行分析理解，词义猜测，推理判断和概括归纳，选出正确的选项。例如小题1，根据You jump from a high place 200 metres above the ground with an elastic(有弹力的)rope tied to your feet.You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground.可知，人们在蹦极时，脚上系着一个有弹力的绳子是防止自己撞到地上，因此这是为了保护自己。故选C。
