Part III Reading Comprehension (2.5 points each, 50 points in all)
Directions: After reading the following passages, you will find questions or unfinished statements. for each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Task 1
Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Now, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
I would consider bungee jumping (蹦极) to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place 200 meters above the ground with an elastic (弹性的) rope tied to your feet. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people around the world have now tried bungee include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.
Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people's lives were constantly in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live ad work in quite safe conditions; they buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
46. Of the risky activities, bungee jumping________.
A. offers an immediate excitement B. is a fashion
C. makes one relaxed D. makes one brave
47. In bungee jumping, you ______.

B. In order to keep one safe, a rope is tied to the feet of the jumper.

Everyone agrees that crime is party a result of bad material conditions: poverty, lack of
education, living without a settled home, being parentless, sufferings from other kings of

There are also other factors than material conditions which are responsible for the sharp

how to duplicate what they have seen or read. All there have resulted in a high frequency of
crimes committed both by professional criminals and by nonprofessional ones in murder,
drug smuggling, robbery, etc.

Move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons;most of
Them move to find food more easily, but others move get away form places that are too
Corwded.
When cold weather comes,many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes
Give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移)
Is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”.This fish is born in fresh
Water but it travels many miles to salt water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern
Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too
Crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside,
And many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year,
When the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk
Across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where
They go .

You can tell age of a tree by counting its rings.But these records of a tree’s life really
say a lot more. Scientists are using tree rings to learn what’s been happening on the sun’s surface
for the last ten thousand years. Each ring represents a year of growth. As the tree grows, it adds
a layer to its trunk, taking up chemical elements from the air. By looking at elements in the rings
from a certain year, scientists can what elements were in the air that year. Dr.Stevenson is analyzing one element, carbon-14, in rings from both living and dead trees. Some rings go back
almost ten thousand years to the end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson followed the carbon-14
track back in time, he found carbon-14 levels changed with the intensity of solar buring.You see,
the sun has cycles.Sometimes it burns fiercely, and at other times it’s relatively calm. During the sun’s violent periods, it throws off charged formation of carbon-14 on earth. When t
