Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventurethose who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled in unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are more and more people who hunt for an immediate excitement from a dangerous activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds. Bungee jumping is a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place 200 metres above the ground with an elastic (弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high mountains. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some scientists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has bee safe and uninteresting. Not very long ago, peoples lives were constantly in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food. If they were badly ill, it was not easy for them to get well again. In fact, life was a continuous battle for living and existing.Nowadays, according to many people, 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 bee ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping. 56. The best title for the text is _A. Dangerous sports: What and why? B. The tiredness of modern life.C. Bungee jumping: Is it really dangerous? D. The need for excitement.57. More and more people today _. A. are climbing the highest mountains B. are traveling in unknown placesC. are ing close to death in sports D. are trying bungee jumping58. In bungee jumping, you _.A. jump as high as you can B. tie yourself to a rope and fall to the groundC. slide down a rope to the ground D. fall towards the ground without a rope59. People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because _.A. they have a lot of free time B. they can go to hospital if they are injured C. their lives are short of excitement D. they no longer need to hunt for foodBThere are several advantages in planting trees：they firm the soil，soak(渗透) up extra water and take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. However，it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming. We all know that tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the winds power. The problem is that some of the dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon dioxide. Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and Central Asia. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface.Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a treeplanting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean.Andy，an environmental scientist has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work shows clearly the plexity of the system. For this reason the need is to focus on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than doing anything else.Robert, an American scientist, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. “We are studying why the soil carbon disappears，but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground pared to grass, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees.” said Robert.In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground.Countries that plan to fight against global warming by planting trees may have to think again. Solutions to environmental problems are often more plex than they first appear，and understanding the Earths climate is a very great challenge.60People usually hold the opinion that _.A. huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxideB. planting trees could reduce global warmingC. huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the EarthD. planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms61Andy, an environmental scientist, believes that_.A. environmental problems are more plex than expected B. trees shouldnt have been planted in dry placesC. dust plays a more important part than treesD. carbon dioxide is harmful to everything62Roberts experiment proves that _.A. trees absorb more carbon than grassB. carbon can turn grass into dustC. less carbon can make trees grow fasterD. grassland areas should be covered by forests63The best title for this passage is “_”A. The importance of planting treesB. The dust clouds soak up carbon dioxideC. Is it really useful to plant trees to reduce global warming?D. Why the soil carbon disappears CExplore the State of CaliforniaCalifornia is one of the most interesting states of America that offers a lot of wonderful sceneries and fun attractions.
