Question

1．Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities．Of course，there have always been people who have looked for adventure（冒险）---those who have climbed the highest mountains，traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans．Now，however，there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky（冒险的） activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds．I would consider bungee（蹦极） jumping to be a good example of such an activity．You jump from a high place （perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon） 200meters above the ground with an elastic（有弹性的） rope tied to your ankles．You fall at up to 150kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground．It is said that about 2million people around world have now tried bungee jumping．Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff（悬崖）．
For the reasons，some psychologists explain that many people think their life in modern societies has become safe and boring．Not very long ago，people's lives were constantly（持续的） in danger．They had to go out and hunt for food，diseases could not easily be cured，and life was a continuous battle（战争） for survival．
Nowadays，according to many people，life offers little excitement．They live and work in comparatively safe conditions； they buy food in shops； and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill．The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping．
根据短文内容，完成下列小题．
84．Are there many people who are taking part in the dangerous sports？Yes，there are．．
85．How many kinds of dangerous sports does the writer refer to？Three kinds of sports．
86．How long does a bungee jumping usually last？For a few minutes or even seconds．
87．What do many people think of their life nowadays？Their life is too safe and boring．
88．What does the writer tell us in the last two paragraphs？The writer tells us why people take part in such dangerous activities．．

Answer 1

分析 短文讲了在世界各地，越来越多的人参加危险的运动和活动，作者举了详细的例子，及其说明人们参加这么危险的活动的原因．

解答 答案：84．Yes，there are．细节理解题．根据第一段第一行句子Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities．在世界各地，越来越多的人参加危险的运动和活动．可知有很多人参加了危险的运动．故答案为Yes，there are．
85．Three kinds of sports．细节理解题．根据第一段第一行句子Of course，there have always been people who have looked for adventure（冒险）---those who have climbed the highest mountains，traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans．当然，总有人在寻找冒险--那些爬上最高的山峰，游历世界上不为人知的地方，或乘着小船穿过最伟大的海洋．可知作者说了三种运动．故答案为Three kinds of sports．
86．For a few minutes or even seconds．细节理解题．根据第一段第二行句子however，there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky（冒险的） activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds．I would consider bungee（蹦极） jumping to be a good example of such an activity．然而，有人从一个危险的活动中寻找即时的刺激，这种活动可能只持续几分钟甚至几秒钟，我认为蹦极是这种活动的一个很好的例子．可知蹦极可能只持续几分钟甚至几秒钟．故答案为For a few minutes or even seconds．
87．Their life is too safe and boring．细节理解题．根据第二段第一句some psychologists explain that many people think their life in modern societies has become safe and boring．一些心理学家解释说，很多人认为他们的生活在现代社会已成为安全和无聊的．可知他们的生活过于安全而乏味．故答案为Their life is too safe and boring．
88．The writer tells us why people take part in such dangerous activities．细节理解题．根据第二段第一句some psychologists explain that many people think their life in modern societies has become safe and boring．一些心理学家解释说，很多人认为他们的生活在现代社会已成为安全和无聊的．和第三段第一句Nowadays，according to many people，life offers little excitement．现在，对于许多人来说生活缺少了兴奋．可知最后两段主要说作者告诉我们为什么人们参加这么危险的活动．故答案为The writer tells us why people take part in such dangerous activities．
