Choose the correct word in one of the following three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letter(s) of the word. Remember to wr

2、ite the answers on the answer sheet.Is paragliding more dangerous than parachuting? There are three elements that support the argument that though 46. （ ） of them is safe, one is far less dangerous than the other. Those three elements are training, preparation, and skill level.Training for the first

3、 parachute jump is a 47. rel（ ）simple process. Commonly a morning of instruction and practice can result 48. （ ）a persons first jump the same afternoon. In contrast, paragliding training is much more involved, taking anywhere from one to three months before the first flight occurs. It is 49. （ ）(leg

4、al) to fly without a license, and various competence levels must be passed to be able to move from soaring to something more involved such as cross-country flying.Preparation for a parachute jump is minimal 50. （ ）best. Most jumpers have their chutes packed for them, so all they have to do is climb

5、into the plane. Some pack their own chutes, but still, this is minor. In paragliding the pilot lays out their canopy on the ground, checks it and the lines, and then must wait for the right wind conditions before launching. The fact that the chute and lines can be seen makes a 51. tre（ ）difference a

6、s any problems can be seen before launch, something that is impossible with parachuting. This is a very important difference because almost all parachuting 52. acc（ ）are the result of equipment failure. Jumpers rely almost totally on their equipment and not their skill, the reverse of the paraglidin

7、g pilot.It is this difference in skill levels that makes paragliding the safer option. The 53. （ ） (great) the skill the pilot develops, the less chance they might get into a dangerous situation when flying. Also, if they do get into a dangerous situation, it is far more likely that they will be abl

8、e to escape. With parachuting it is the 54. opp（ ）. Ultimately skill does not matter. Even the most experienced jumper will be 55. （ ）(able) to do anything in the event of major equipment failure. Like Russian roulette, the question is how many times a person jumps before statistics catch up with th

9、em.【参考答案及解析】46. 【考点分析】语义判断【解题思路】本段第一句就给出两项运动进行比较，即滑翔伞运动是否比跳伞运动更危险。第二句though引导让步关系状语从句，与后面句子的逻辑关系应为“尽管两者都不安全，但是其中一个比另一个更危险”，neither of后面一般接续复数的名词或代词，表示“两者都不”，因此本题所填词应该是neither。47. 【考点分析】【解题思路】根据所填词所处的位置判断，此处应该填一个修饰形容词simple的副词，根据提示的前三个字母和句意“初次跳伞训练是一个（相对）简单的过程”，此空应选词是relatively。1 / 348. 【考点分析】词义判断【解题思

10、路】本段首句已经明确表达了，初次跳伞训练相对简单，延续这一意思，第二句描述“只需要一个早晨的教学和练习就可以在当天下午见到成效”，此句中result有见效之意，但它是不及物动词，需要加介词表达“导致的结果”，因此此空填入介词in。49.【考点分析】语义判断【解题思路】本段第三句表明“滑翔伞运动要复杂的多，需要一至三个月的时间才能进行首次飞行”，第四句重申了这项运动需要多么的严谨，“没有飞行执照的话，飞行是”，提示的词是legal合法的，如果填legal，显然和前几句逻辑关系相悖，只有填illegal违法的，才符合上下文意思。50. 【考点分析】【解题思路】根据句意，本段首句主系表结构完整，所填

11、词需要和best连用，构成副词来修饰前面的形容词minimal，依照句子的意思，可选介词at和best构成介词短语at best，意为“最好”，整句话理解成“对于跳伞的准备最好少一点”。51. 【考点分析】【解题思路】本段“in paragliding the pilotbefore launching.”主要说的是滑翔伞运动中飞行员需要做哪些准备工作，这和前面描述跳伞运动不需要做太多准备截然相反，再根据本空所提示的三个字母和其所在的句子意思“降落伞和航线会造成的不同”得出，应该填入tremendous巨大的。52. 【考点分析】【解题思路】本题处在原因从句的主语位置，因此确定应该是一个名词，

12、根据提示的三个字母和本句句意“这是个很重要的不同，因为所有跳伞（事故）都是由于设备失灵引起的。”可知，所填词应为accident，由于系动词为复数are，因此accident也要用复数形式accidents。53. 【考点分析】【解题思路】本段第一句说“滑翔伞运动因为其技术水平方面更有保障而成为更安全的选择”，根据第二句后半句的句式本句的句式应该是“the morethe more”，所以前半句横线处应填的是great的比较级greater。54. 【考点分析】【解题思路】本段第二句说明对于滑翔伞运动中的飞行员而言，技能越好，危险情形就会越少。第三句谈到相比之下，跳伞运动的飞行者则是怎么样的，根据提示的三个字母和
