Dangerous Sports
Around the world more and more people are taking part in danger ous sports and activities．Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure—those who have climbed unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans．Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill, a risky activity, which may only last a few minutes or even seconds．
I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity．You jump from a high place（perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon） 200 meters above the ground with an elastic（有彈性的） rope tied to your feet．You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground．It is said that about 2 million people around the 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 cliffs.
Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring．Not very long ago, people’s lives were constantly in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and there was a continuous battle for survival．
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．The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping．
65．The best title for the text is .
A．Dangerous Sports: What and Why
B．The Boredom of Modern Life

67．The writer of the text has a attitude towards dangerous sports.

65—67 AAC
65．A主旨大意題。B、D只是涵蓋了文章最后兩段的內(nèi)容。A更為全面。C在文章中沒有談到。
66．A推理判斷題。從第一段可以看出“Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities．”是主題句，也是文章討論的中心。B只是一部分人進(jìn)行的運動，不是當(dāng)今的趨勢。C項在文章中沒有提及。D項在文章中是說人們在嘗試，而此處用的是look for．
67．C作者觀點態(tài)度題。作者在文章中客觀地講述了有哪些極限運動以及人們?yōu)槭裁磿䥽L試極限運動。從此可以看出作者的態(tài)度是中立的。

Back in the 15th century, in a tiny village in Germany, lived a family with eighteen children．Eighteen! In order 36 to keep food on the table, the father, a goldsmith by 37 , worked almost eighteen hours a day at his trade．Despite their seemingly 38 condition, two of the eldest children had a dream．They both wanted to pursue their talent for art, 39 they knew well that their father would never be able to 40 either of them to study at the Academy．
After many long discussions at night in their 41 bed, the two boys finally worked out a pact．They would toss （擲） a coin．The 42 would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, 43 his winning brother for the academy．Then, in four years, he would support the Other one．Then Albrecht Durer won the toss and 44 to Nuremberg．Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, 45 his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation．By the time he graduated, he was beginning to 46 considerable fees for himself．
When the young artist 47 home and said to his brother, "And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is your 48 . Now you can go to the Academy to pursue your dream, and I will 49 you．"
Albert rose and wiped the 50 from his cheeks．"No, brother．I cannot go to Nuremberg．It is too 51 for me．Look…look what four years in the mines have done to my 52 ! I cannot even hold a glass, much less make delicate lines on canvas 53 a pen or a brush．"
More than 450 years have 54 ．By now, among Albrecht Durer's hundreds of masterful portraits, "The Praying Hands" is one 55 creation that can catch the world's hearts．

The use of the word imitation（模仿） reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime（犯罪） or violence. First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous. For example, I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree; fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged. I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting（通電觸死） his guard, the technique of doing this being shown in detail. This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons.
In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques, such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe; if we were consulted（請教） before production, I used to advise that the details should not be shown. When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this, since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime.
Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi. made by Jules Dassin in 1954. This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweler’s shop, the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound...one of the most brilliant film sequences（連續(xù)鏡頭） of all time. I remember our discussion at the time. We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it; we believed therefore that it was relatively safe. When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied, so perhaps we were wrong.
31. The writer thinks that____________.
A. the details of the criminal technique should be kept
B. the details of the crime should not be shown on the screen
C. children should not imitate what they see on the screen
D. it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen
32. What is the writer’s attitude（態(tài)度） towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard?
A. The writer likes it very much.
B. The writer is strongly against it.
C. The writer thinks the film has some value.
D. The writer does not show his/her attitude.
33. Parents in prison agreed to film checking because______.
A. they did not want their children to follow them
B. the crime on screen could be imitated without difficulty
C. they had given a talk on it
D. they had made mistakes
34 .All the following statements about“Rififi”are true EXCEPT______.
A. that the robbery shown needs experience and skills
B. that some very good tools were used in the robbery
C. that the film showed the technique in detail
D. that the technique of the robbery was not imitated
35. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. it is hard for children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary
B. only people in prison support film checking
C. only children imitate what they have seen on the screen
D. the writer used to advise the details of crime should be shown

Our boat floated on between walls of forest. It was too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed: where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us form going ashore. In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures an
d the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization.
As for water, there was a choice. We could drink the muddy river water, o
r die of thirst. We drank the water. Men who have just escaped from what appeared to be certain death lost all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result.
One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time: we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.
【小題1】 It can be inferred from the passage that the only thing they could see in a boat was _______.
| A．walls | B．chains of hills | C．tall trees | D．vast land |
A．the country wa s a civilized society | B．the country was a tropical jungle country |
| C．they found a place where they could land | D．they were on a journey home |
| A．They were arrested. | B．They manage d to escape to safety. | C．They were saved by some villagers | D．The passage doesn’t mention it. |
| A．The Problem of Landing | B．An Adventure |
| C．An Entirely New Experience | D．Escape |
