The Chinese attempted to parachute in the 10th century, a thousand years before we did. The Chinese did what we would tod
23、ay 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 stupe
24、fied 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 speed
25、s, 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 be
26、fore 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.
27、 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 a recognized as extreme sport enjoyed by many.46. The underlined word “stupefied” in para

31、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 pro
32、blem 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
33、 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
34、 of the country, and without a passport or money.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 f
35、ilm. 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
36、 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.”51. Hories boat was mainly powered by _.Asea wavesBsea windsChis strengthDgas52. From the passage we learn that _.AHorie undertook the voyage with a partner this
37、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 is 7,000 kilometers from San Francisco53. Horie was arrested in San Francisco after his voyage in 1962 mainly because _.Ahe h
38、ad broken Japanese lawBhe had kept it a secret from othersChis action had put people in dangerDhe had no passport to America54. 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
39、.CHis voyage had the theme of protecting the environment.DHe wrote an exciting book after the voyage.55. 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)Ask someone wha
40、t they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in
41、the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical households waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items a
42、re packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of areas for burying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling
43、 helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encoura
44、ging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to
45、a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to
46、climb.56. What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.57. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _ .A. the tendency of cutting household
47、 wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging overuse58. According to the text, recycling _ .A. helps control the greenhouse effectB. means burning packaging for energyC. is the solution to gas shortageD. leads to a waste of land59. What can
48、be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.60. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B. Need
49、less material is mostly recycled.C. People like collecting recyclable wastes.D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.(D) Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider f
50、rom California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign c
51、ountries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson dec
52、ided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow
53、as a person，” said the 30yearold man.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when Im dealing
54、 with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”61.
