Question

More and more people around the world are joining in dangerous sports. Some people climbed the highest mountains; some traveled into unknown parts of the world; some sailed small boats across the largest sea. Now some people begin to look for new excitement.
Bungee jumping (蹦極) and motorcycle racing (摩托車賽) are quite dangerous sports. Bungee jumping only lasts for a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place, about 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (橡膠帶子) tied to your legs. When you jump down, the rubber band pulls you up. About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.
Why do people join in these dangerous sports? Some scientists say that it is because modern life has become safe and it is not interesting. In the past, people lived in danger. They had to go out and look for food, and life was like a fight but was interesting.
Many people think that there is little excitement in life. They live and work in safe places, buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.

解析試題分析：這篇文章講述的是現(xiàn)在越來(lái)越多的人追求危險(xiǎn)的運(yùn)動(dòng)項(xiàng)目，比如爬最高的山，涉足世界上的未知地帶，駕舟橫渡最大海洋等等。文章還介紹了更為驚險(xiǎn)刺激的運(yùn)動(dòng)項(xiàng)目像蹦極和摩托車賽，并解釋了人們追求驚險(xiǎn)刺激的原因。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中信息Now some people begin to look for new excitement. 可知，人們參加這些驚險(xiǎn)運(yùn)動(dòng)項(xiàng)目的原因是追求刺激。故選C。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章第一段內(nèi)容可以知道，爬最高的山，涉足世界上的未知地帶，駕舟橫渡最大海洋都屬于危險(xiǎn)的運(yùn)動(dòng)項(xiàng)目，只有打乒乓球不是。故選B。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中信息You jump from a high place, about 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (橡膠帶子) tied to your legs可知，蹦極時(shí)，會(huì)用橡膠帶子拴住你的腳，然后從200米的高空往下跳。故選B。
【小題4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中信息 They live and work in safe places, buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. 可以判斷，過(guò)去的人們沒(méi)有這些生活條件。故選D。
【小題5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章最后一段Many people think that there is little excitement in life. They live and work in safe places, buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.
可知，許多人認(rèn)為這樣的生活方式相當(dāng)無(wú)趣。故選A。
