22、所给的A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 (A)Most people consider skydiving a product of the 20th century, but its history actually goes further back than that. The Chinese attempted to parachute in the 10th century, a thousand years before we did. The Chinese did what we would today call base diving;

23、that is, they jumped off a place that would allow them to float from a height to the ground.The first person to attempt to parachute was a Frenchman named Jacques Garnerin. He jumped from his hot-air balloon at the end of the 18th century and did tricks on the way down and stupefied the crowds by la

24、nding safely on the ground. At the end of the 19th century, Kathie Paulus, a brave German woman, became famous for her skydiving skills.Once the airplane was invented, skydiving took on a whole new form. The airplane made it possible to dive from greater heights at greater speeds, allowing for more

25、range in the movements in the air. A woman named Tiny Broadwick became the first woman to jump from a plane in 1913 and dive free fall in 1914.Skydiving was not called skydiving until the middle of the 1950s, when Ronald Young invented the word. It had been called parachuting before this and was mai

26、nly used by the military to land troops in inland locations, or for pilots to jump out of their planes when necessary. Once World War I was over, parachuting became a sport, which we now call skydiving.After World War II, this activity became more a hobby than a military action. Soldiers were traine

27、d in parachuting and enjoyed the thrill(兴奋) so much that they continued on for fun. From this, teams and competitions were formed. Skydiving schools appeared in the late 1950s and now it is a recognized as extreme sport enjoyed by many.46. The underlined word “stupefied” in paragraph 2 probably mean

31、ichi Horie has finished a 110-day solo voyage across the Pacific Ocean in a boat pushed by sea waves to win another world first.Weak waves and ocean water movements made his arrival late, which was going to be in late May. “When waves were weak, the boat slowed down. Thats a problem which needs to b

32、e solved,” the adventurer told reporters from his boat in western Japan. His 9.5-meter-long boat can move like a dolphins tail, and it rises or falls with the waves.Horie reached his destination in the channel between the main Japanese islands just before midnight after covering about 7,000 kilomete

33、rs from Hawaii.Horie first made world record in 1962 when, at the age of 23, he became the first person to sail alone across the Pacific. He made the three-month voyage from his hometown in spite of breaking Japanese law, which did not allow his citizens to sail on their own out of the country, and

34、without a passport or money.He was arrested upon arrival in San Francisco but the city mayor freed him, gave him a 30-day visa and made him an honorary citizen. News of his achievement made him a hero back home in Japan and his book of the voyage In the Pacific was made into a film. Since then, he h

35、as completed many sailing trips across the Pacific and around the world.After his latest adventure with an environmentally friendly theme, Horie planned to return to his hometown on Sunday. He said, “Throughout history, mankind has used wind for power, but no one has appeared to be serious about wav

36、e power.” Horie told the reporter, “I think Im a lucky boy as this wave power system has remained untouched in fact.”51. Hories boat was mainly powered by _.Asea wavesBsea windsChis strengthDgas52. From the passage we learn that _.AHorie undertook the voyage with a partner this timeBit took Horie ab

37、out twenty days more to cross the Pacific this time than in 1962CHorie made his first voyage across the Pacific alone at the age of 18DHories destination is 7,000 kilometers from San Francisco53.

40、elp the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way poss

41、ible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical households waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice wit

42、h plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of areas for burying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the proce

43、ss itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reu

44、se their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consu

45、mer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.56. What does t

48、graph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.60. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B. Needless material is most

49、ly recycled.C. People like collecting recyclable wastes.D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.(D) Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first

51、 to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone.
