Not even a week afterward, Mario Richard, a Canadian base-jumper, died in Italy during a wingsuit flight, when he “apparently failed to clear a rock by three meters.” And most recently, Hungarian wingsuit flyer Victor Kovats died in Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park in Zhangjiajie on Oct. 9 during a practice flight ahead of the World Championships.According to Mei-Dan, six to seven percent of the 3,000 or so base-jumpers who use wingsuits or parachutes die each year a huge number when you consider the most dangerous job in America, logging which has an annual death rate well under one percent of the workers.Base-jumpers and wingsuit flyers are experienced. They have hundreds of practice before trying to fly from buildings, cliffs and towers. The same goes for those who drop from helicopters above mountains and valleys and then use their wingsuits to try to whiz by(飞速掠过) as close as possible to the rocks and ridges below.Among the dangers, said Mei-Dan, is the temptation to “push the envelope ” : To try to get close to a rock wall, for example, than anyone else. “ When you push the envelope and you can not have any error at all, or you have to pay for it with your life.”So why do it? The experience of flying toward the ground in a wingsuit is almost indescribable. “Its something that you really have to try to understand what type of feeling you get when youre free falling next to a cliff,” Mei-Dan said. 41. Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Trying wingsuit flying once is enough.B. Wingsuit flying is always easy to do.C. Wingsuit flying lasts only a short time.D. Even a single mistake in wingsuit flying is disastrous.42. How did other flyers react to the recent deaths of their fellows?A. They thought the deaths could have been avoided.B. They felt the need of reconsidering the safety of wingsuit flying.C. They were sad and were in deep sorrow.D. They felt sad but did not find the deaths surprising.43. What does the third paragraph tell us?A. How the three wingsuit flyers died.B. Why wingsuit flying is so dangerous.C. Where wingsuit flying is most dangerous.D. What a wingsuit flyers career is like.44. What does the underlined phrase “push the envelope” mean?A. To attempt to push further in a wingsuit. B. To risk moving the envelope away.C. To be determined to give up on oneself.D. To try to go beyond the normal limits of something.45. The extreme sports enthusiasts like wingsuit flying because they _.A. want to know what it feels likeB. wish to describe the experienceC. enjoy the wonderful experienceD. devote themselves to scientific research 【参考答案】4145 DDADC 【2014高考训练题】What would it be like to take a walk on the surface of Mars?

In addition to writing interesting material, many famous writers, such as Edgar Allan Poe, were larger-than-life characters with personal histories that are as interesting to read as the stories they wrote. Poes rocky life included being driven off from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1831 and an ongoing battle with alcohol. Yet, despite heavy gambling debts, poor health, and terrible unemployment, Poe managed to produce a body of popular works, including “The Raven” and “The Murders in the Rue Morgue.”Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick, once lived among the man-eaters in the Marquesas Islands and wrote unusual tales inspired by his years of service in the U.S. Navy. Dublin-born Oscar Wilde was noted for his charismatic personality, his outrageous lifestyle, and creating witty catchphrases such as, “Nothing succeeds like excess.” D.H. Lawrence wrote shameful novels that were often cut, and Anne Rice led a double life writing bestselling horrible novels under her real name and using “A.N. Roquelaure” for the lowbrow unhealthy novels she penned on the side. Nonconformist(不墨守成规的)author and naturalist Henry David Thoreau once fled to the woods and generated enough interesting material to fill his noted book Walden. Thoreau wrote on the issue of passive resistance protest in his essay “Civil Disobedience” and served time in jail for refusing tax payments in protest of the United States governments policy towards slavery. American short story writer O. Henrys colorful life was ruined by tragic events, such as being accused and sentenced for stealing money from an Austin, Texas bank. Despite his success selling his short stories, O. Henry struggled financially and was nearly bankrupt when he died. As diverse as these famous authors backgrounds were, they all led unconventional lives while writing great literary works that will endure throughout the ages. The next time you read an interesting book, consider learning more about the author by reading his or her biography so you can learn about the unique life experiences that shaped his or her writing. 72. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Edgar Allan Poe? A. He had his own interesting personal history as other famous writers. B. He graduated from United States Military Academy at West Point in 1831. C. He once had heavy gambling debts and fell down with illness. D. He managed to produce popular works no matter how rocky his life was. 73. What can you infer from Para.2?A. D.H. Lawrence and Anne Rice once wrote similar type of novels. B. Anne Rice used a pen name because her novels were quite popular.C. Anne Rice used different names when she wrote bestselling novels. D. Henry David Thoreau enriched his books by living in the forests. 74. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Henry David Thoreau was passionately opposed to horrible events. B. Anne Rice always used a pen name to conceal her true identity. C. Herman Melville stayed with man-eaters during his naval service. D. O Henrys life was colorful though he had lots of difficulties. 75. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. many famous writers lived nontraditional lives B. most famous writers were usually troublemakers C. writers had to lead interesting lives to generate materialsD. the biographies of famous writers are always inspirational【参考答案】7275BACADirections: Read the following three passages.

Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression (忧郁症). The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They wont tell that to their parents.Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression - eating or mood changes - and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.65. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.B. Parents should forbid their childrens love.C. Romance is a two edged sword for adults. D. Romance is good for young people.66. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.B. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.C. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.67. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.B. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.C. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.D. The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.68. Whats the authors attitude towards puppy love?A. Confused. B. Disapproving. C. Disinterested. D. Scared. 【参考答案】65-68: ACDB
