some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. in the past, peoples lives were constantly under threat（威胁）. they had to go out and hunt for food. diseases could not easily be cured, and there was a continuous battle（战斗）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 seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.( )41. the best title for the text is .a. dangerous sports: what and why?b. the boredom of modern lifec. bungee jumping: is it really dangerous?d. the need for excitement( )42. more and more people today _.a. are trying activities such as bungee jumping b. are climbing the highest mountainsc. are coming close to death in sports d. are looking for adventures such as exploring unknown places( )43. in bungee jumping , you _.a. jump as high as you can b. slide down a rope to the ground c. tie yourself to a rope and fall to the ground d. fall towards the ground without a rope( )44. people probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because _. a. they have a lot of free timeb. they can go to hospital if they are injuredc. their lives lack excitementd. they no longer need to hunt for food ( )45. the writer of the text has a _ attitude (态度)towards dangerous sports.a. positive（积极的） b. negative（否定的）c. neutral（中立的）d. nervous 五词汇运用。（满分20分） 1. after hearing the bad news, he seemed _(happy).2. when i see the sun, i have the feeling of _(warm)3. dont make much noise in the classroom. many students _(revise) for the coming exam.4.we should help each other, because everyone needs _(other) help.5. excuse me. can i buy two tickets for the concert?im sorry youre too late. all the tickets _ (sell) out this morning.6. what problems do they have _ (raise) money for the students from mianyang?7. zhang yimou, one of the most famous _ (direct) in china, has brought us an amazing and creative opening ceremony.8. more people would lose their lives without the _ (fireman) help.9.it is all the chinese _ wisdom and hard work that make the chinese film industry step into the world better.
