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"(絕技)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.
48.What is the author's attitude towards BASE jumping?C
A.It should be banned.
B.It should be encouraged.
C.The jumpers should be careful.
D.More sites should be open to jumpers.
49.The author shows his viewpoint byD.
A.listing the numbers
B.using a famous saying
C.explaining causes and effects
D.showing the facts and examples
50.Which of the following is true?B
A.Carl Boenish died in the first BASE jump from the Troll Wall in 1984.
B.Even experienced jumpers can be injured or killed in a certain jump.
C.Teens'parents don't support BASE jumping because it costs money.
D.A BASE jumper can freely choose any place to start the jump.

分析 本文為說(shuō)明文,介紹了一項(xiàng)危險(xiǎn)的運(yùn)動(dòng)--極限跳傘.

解答 48---50 CDB
48.答案C.觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題.根據(jù)最后一段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.可知,作者認(rèn)為極限跳傘是一項(xiàng)很危險(xiǎn)的運(yùn)動(dòng),需要特別小心.故選C.
49.答案D.文章結(jié)構(gòu)題.根據(jù)全文可知,作者先解釋了什么是極限跳傘、它的特點(diǎn)是什么,然后用Carl Boenish的案例說(shuō)明這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)的危險(xiǎn)性.故應(yīng)選D通過(guò)事實(shí)和案例.
50.答案B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段Still,many people,including experienced and skilled jumpers,are still injured or killed every year.可知,即使是有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人也可能會(huì)受傷,甚至是死亡.故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀廣告應(yīng)用文時(shí),應(yīng)該在整體把握文章結(jié)構(gòu)的前提下,主要注意細(xì)節(jié)信息.細(xì)節(jié)題題干都是相應(yīng)原文的變形(如同義改寫、詞性轉(zhuǎn)換等),因此要找到答案一定要找到題干在原文中的出處,再把原文和選項(xiàng)相比較.做題時(shí),根據(jù)所提問(wèn)題用尋讀、跳讀的方法可達(dá)到事半功倍的效果.同時(shí),在閱讀時(shí)也要特別注意文中以粗體、大寫、下劃線等方式加以提示的文字,因?yàn)檫@很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分內(nèi)容的概括.具體答題策略如下:
1、先題后文:
先讀試題,了解考點(diǎn);明確目的,快速捕捉,獲取信息.
2、題干定向:
根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞到文中定位答案范圍,按照題目順序依次而下:?jiǎn)栴}與材料相同:對(duì)號(hào)入座;問(wèn)題與原文相同:同義替換、歸納事實(shí)等.
3、生詞模糊:
遇到生詞;如無(wú)關(guān)答題,直接跳過(guò);涉及答題,則根據(jù)語(yǔ)境、構(gòu)詞法等猜詞.
4、信息補(bǔ)全:
對(duì)于影響理解的省略句,可根據(jù)語(yǔ)境,將其補(bǔ)全.

12.Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles(塑料瓶)?Some people think it is healthy and clean.Others drink bottled water because it's easy-you can carry it around with you.In hot countries,like Greece,we often buy bottles of cold water in the summer.
However,making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons.First of all,we need a lot of oil for plastic products.We usually use oil as a source of energy.If we reduced the number of bottles we made,we wouldn't need so much oil.Plastic bottles also pollute the environment.If we reused all our plastic bottles,we wouldn't need so much space for rubbish dumps.But in Greece,we don't reuse much of the plastic we use.In 2006,Greeks reused only about 10% of plastic waste.The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas.
So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin,stop and think.If you reuse it,you would help the environment.But what can you do when there isn't a bin near you?Well,there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again.For example,an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money,and if you cut a bottle in half,you will have a plant pot.Go green!You can make a difference..
28.What is not mentioned about bottled water in this passage?D
A.It's healthy.
B.It's clean.
C.It's easy.
D.It's expensive.
29.Plastic products are made fromB.
A.energy
B.oil  
C.rubbish 
D.plants
30.Which is the best way to deal with used plastic bottles?A
A.To reuse them.
B.To make a piggy bank.
C.To make a plant pot.
D.To drop them into the river.
31.The underlined part in this passage tells us"C".
A.To make a different life,you'd better go outside.
B.To look different,you'd better wear green clothes.
C.To protect the environment,you can do something.
D.To go green,you should use plastic products.

13.When asked what they most like to eat,teenagers in the UK will say that foods like pizza,burgers and chips are their favorite.
But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should eat.According to the National Diet and Nutrition (營(yíng)養(yǎng)) Survey,far too many young people in the UK between 4and 18eat too much fat,sugar and salt in their diet and take in too many calories.And their intake of starchy carbohydrates (含淀粉的碳水化合物),fiber,iron,vitamins and calcium (鈣) is too low.
For a growing body,eating foods containing plenty of calcium,such as milk,yoghurt (酸奶) and cheese,is very important as calcium is essential for the development of healthy,strong bones.Similarly,foods that are rich in iron are good for young rapidly developing bodies,so red meat,bread,green vegetables,and dried fruit are also good to eat.
It is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can become entrenched (根深蒂固的),so it is important that young people should be educated about what foods are good for them.In 2005,in order to change eating habits and open teenagers'minds to new tastes,chef Jamie Oliver started a"Feed Me Better"project.As part of a television series,"Jamie's School Dinners",he worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more nutritious school meals.Although some teenagers and parents refused to have a try at first,the project went very well and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.
No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but,hopefully,if projects like"Feed Me Better"continue to give out the right messages,more young people will understand the importance of eating healthily.

32.What problem do teenagers in the UK have?C.
A.Most of them are too fat.
B.Most of them eat too little.
C.Many of them don't eat healthily.
D.Many of them are short of exercise.
33.The underlined word"essential"in Paragraph 3is closest in meaning to"D".
A.difficult
B.possible
C.common
D.necessary
34.According to the text,the"Feed Me Better"projectA.
A.proved to be a success
B.taught teachers how to cook
C.was started by the government
D.failed at last
35.Which of the following opinions does the author probably agree to?B.
A.Lifestyle habits are difficult to change.
C.Teenagers should learn to feed themselves better.
B.Old people should eat healthily.
D.Teenagers should never eat fast and junk food.
