Now, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a ri
22、sky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds. I would consider bungee jumping (蹦极) to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place 200 meters above the ground with an elastic (弹性的) rope tied to your feet. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope
23、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 around the world have now tried bungee include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs. Why do people t
24、ake 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, peoples lives were constantly in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous bat
25、tle for survival. Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live ad work in quite safe conditions; they buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as
26、bungee jumping.（分数：10.00）(1).Of the risky activities, bungee jumping_. A. offers an immediate excitement B. is a fashion C. makes one relaxed D. makes one brave（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).In bungee jumping, you _.

29、 is _. A. Dangerous Sports: What and Way B. Boredom of Modern LifeC. Bungee Jumping; Is It Really Dangerous? D. Need for Exercise（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Task 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In spite of all stories of prosperity in the United States, not only does poverty exist there, but crimes of various types have be
30、en increasing at alarming rate. Most acts of violence were committed by young people . 57% of the criminals arrested in 1979 were youths below 25 of age. Everyone agrees that crime is party a result of bad material conditions: poverty, lack of education, living without a settled home, being parentle
31、ss, sufferings from other kings of misfortune, etc. There are also other factors than material conditions which are responsible for the sharp increase of crime rate. In the first place, some state laws provide a death penalty but some protection. It is therefore possible and easy for anyone in the c
32、ountry to get a gun. Finally, there has been too much shown on TV and too much reported in newspaper of all kinds of crimes-the details of which are so accurately described that even children know how to duplicate what they have seen or read.

Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons; most of t
39、hem move to find food more easily, but others move get away form places that are too corwded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移) is probably the migration of the fi
40、sh, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move
41、all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea. Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody
42、 knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go . So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we dont. Maybe living things just like to travel.（分数：8.00）(1).The majority of animals migrate for?_. A. place B. safety C. Food D. warmth（分数：2.00）

45、gs. But these records of a trees life really say a lot more. Scientists are using tree rings to learn whats been happening on the suns surface for the last ten thousand years. Each ring represents a year of growth. As the tree grows, it adds a layer to its trunk, taking up chemical elements from the
46、 air. By looking at elements in the rings from a certain year, scientists can what elements were in the air that year. Dr. Stevenson is analyzing one element, carbon-14, in rings from both living and dead trees. Some rings go back almost ten thousand years to the end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson f
47、ollowed the carbon-14 track back in time, he found carbon-14 levels changed with the intensity of solar buring. You see, the sun has cycles. Sometimes it burns fiercely, and at other times its relatively calm. During the suns violent periods, it throws off charged formation of carbon-14 on earth. Wh
48、en there is more solar wind activity, less carbon-14 is produced. Ten thousand years of tree rings show that the carbon-14 level rises and falls about every 420 years. The scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle.（分数：10.00）(1).The purpose of the scientists in studying
49、 tree rings is to _A. examine the chemical elements in the Ice Age B. look into the pattern of solar wind activityC. analyze the pattern of solar wind activity D. find out the origin of carbon-14 on earth（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What effects the amount of carbon-14 on earthA. The lifecycle of trees B. The number of trees C. The intensity of solar burning D. T
