Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single-engined aero plane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didnt 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 (冲) into the sea. Just before dawn, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed fire 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. ks5u 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 flights to show that women had a place in aviation (航空) and that air travel was useful.9. Which of the following statements is NOT the difficulty which Amelia Earhart met in her flight from North America to England? A. She was caught in a storm. B. The altimeter went out of order. C. Her engine went wrong. D. She lost her direction.10. When Amelia Earhart saw fire coming from the engine, what did she do? A. She did nothing but pray for herself. B. She changed her direction and landed in Ireland. C. She continued flying. D. She lost hope of reaching land.11. According to the passage, what was Amelia Earharts reason for making her flights? A. To set a new record for flying time. B. To be the first woman to fly around the world. C. To show that aviation was not just for men. D. To become famous in the world.12. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Amelia EarhartFirst Across the Atlantic B. Amelia EarhartPioneer in Womens Aviation C. A New Record for Flying Time D. A Dangerous Flight from North America to England阅读下面短文，用完整句子回答小题，并对小题的陈述进行判断You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes(撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead! ks5u Of course he isnt really dead. With any luck he isnt even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast-moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides of their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntmans success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment. Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff(悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute(降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls too!. Please define(给下定义) “stuntman”. ks5u_. What
