Part III Reading Comprehension (2 x20)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete sentences. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

More and more around the world are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure--those who have climbed the highest mountains, searched into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans.

I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place 200 meters above the ground with a rope tied to your feet. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground.

Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some people suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and uninteresting. But in the past, they had to go out and hunt for food, and diseases could not easily be cured.

Nowadays, life offers little excitement. They live and work in safe conditions, they buy food in shops and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

( )61. According to the passage more and more people around the world today_____.

A. are taking part in games that are very safe

B. are aware of the risk of some activities

C. are trying dangerous activities for excitement

A. jump down to the ground without holding to a rope

B. fasten yourself to a rope and fall from a great height

Passage 2

The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single-engined plane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter failed and she didn't know how high she was flying. At night, and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly plunged into the sea.

Just before dawn, there was further trouble, Amelia noticed flames coming from the engine. Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.

In the end, Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly welcomed in England and Europe. When she returned to the United States, she was honored by President Hoover at a special dinner in the White House. From that time on. Amelia Earhart was famous. What was so important about her flight?Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean alone, and she had set a record of fourteen hours and fifty-six minutes.

In the years that followed, Amelia Earhart made several flights across the United States, and on each occasion she set a new record for flying time. Amelia Earhart made these fights to show that women had a place in aviation and that air travel was useful.
