The Chinese attempted to parachute in the 10th century, a thousand years before we did. The Chinese did what we would today call base diving; that is, they jumped off a place that would allow them to float from a height to the ground.The first person to attempt to parachute was a Frenchman named Jacques Garnerin. He jumped from his hot-air balloon at the end of the 18th century and did tricks on the way down and stupefied the crowds by landing safely on the ground. At the end of the 19th century, Kathie Paulus, a brave German woman, became famous for her skydiving skills.Once the airplane was invented, skydiving took on a whole new form. The airplane made it possible to dive from greater heights at greater speeds, allowing for more range in the movements in the air. A woman named Tiny Broadwick became the first woman to jump from a plane in 1913 and dive free fall in 1914.Skydiving was not called skydiving until the middle of the 1950s, when Ronald Young invented the word. It had been called parachuting before this and was mainly used by the military to land troops in inland locations, or for pilots to jump out of their planes when necessary. Once World War I was over, parachuting became a sport, which we now call skydiving.After World War II, this activity became more a hobby than a military action. Soldiers were trained in parachuting and enjoyed the thrill(兴奋) so much that they continued on for fun. From this, teams and competitions were formed. Skydiving schools appeared in the late 1950s and now it is recognized as an extreme sport enjoyed by many.11. The underlined word “stupefied” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.A. disappointedB. encouragedC. surprised D. attacked12. Who was the first woman to jump from a plane?A. Jacques Garnerin.B. Kathie Paulus.C. Tiny Broadwick.DRonald Young.13. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?AThe Chinese attempted different skydiving skills in the 10th century.BSkydiving became popular after the airplane was invented.CThe word skydiving was first used in a military action.DThere were no skydiving schools until the late 1950s.14. According to the passage, skydiving _.A. was invented in GermanyB. became popular as an extreme sport after World War IIC. was once called parachuting before Paulus invented this wordD. was mainly used by the military for fun during World War I15. What would be the best title for this text?AThe history of skydiving.BThe popularity of skydiving.CWhat is skydiving?DWhy is skydiving an extreme sport? (B)Japanese sailor Kenichi Horie has finished a 110-day solo voyage across the Pacific Ocean in a boat pushed by sea waves to win another world first.Weak waves and ocean water movements made his arrival late, which was going to be in late May. “When waves were weak, the boat slowed down. Thats a problem which needs to be solved,” the adventurer told reporters from his boat in western Japan. His 9.5-meter-long boat can move like a dolphins tail, and it rises or falls with the waves.Horie reached his destination in the channel between the main Japanese islands just before midnight after covering about 7,000 kilometers from Hawaii.Horie first made world record in 1962 when, at the age of 23, he became the first person to sail alone across the Pacific. He made the three-month voyage from his hometown in spite of breaking Japanese law, which did not allow his citizens to sail on their own out of the country, and without a passport.He was arrested upon arrival in San Francisco but the city mayor freed him, gave him a 30-day visa and made him an honorary citizen. News of his achievement made him a hero back home in Japan and his book of the voyage In the Pacific was made into a film. Since then, he has completed many sailing trips across the Pacific and around the world.After his latest adventure with an environmentally friendly theme, Horie planned to return to his hometown on Sunday. He said, “Throughout history, mankind has used wind for power, but no one has appeared to be serious about wave power.” Horie told the reporter, “I think Im a lucky boy as this wave power system has remained untouched in fact.”16. Hories boat was mainly powered by _.Asea wavesBsea windsChis strengthDgas17. From the passage we learn that _.AHorie undertook the voyage with a partner this timeBit took Horie about twenty days more to cross the Pacific this time than in 1962CHorie made his first voyage across the Pacific alone at the age of 18DHories destination was 7,000 kilometers from San Francisco18. Horie was arrested in San Francisco after his voyage in 1962 mainly because _.Ahe had broken Japanese lawBhe had kept it a secret from othersChis action had put people in dangerDhe had no visa to America19. Which of the following statements best proves that Hories latest voyage was meaningful?AHe was made an honorary citizen of San Francisco.BIn Japan he was regarded as a hero.CHis voyage had the theme of protecting the environment.DHe wrote an exciting book after the voyage.20. The author wrote the article mainly to _.Astart an ocean crossing movementBtell us a piece of interesting newsCmake Horie known to the worldDencourage people to learn from Horie(C)Last nights meteor(流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valleys mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the citys lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointments. ”Astronomersscientists who study stars and planets-have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association. “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.” Countless more animals casualties(伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase persons chances of getting cancer. Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.21. It happened last night that _.A. the citys lights affected the meteor watching B. the meteors flew past before being noticedC. the city light show attracted many peopleD. the meteor watching ended up a social outing22.

Animals living habits may change suddenly.C. Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.D. Animals survival is threatened (威胁) by outdoor lighting.24. Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to _.A. lessen the chance of getting cancer B. create an ideal observation conditionC. ensure citizens a good sleep at night D. enable all creatures to live in harmony25.
