三、阅读理解(共10小题;每小题2分，满分20分)
A
Some people say extreme（极限）sports are dangerous - and they're probably right - but hey, if you're not afraid of getting hurt, You might as well do it with style! It is reported that regular sports are not completely safer than extreme ones. Here is an introduction to three new extreme sports.
·Ostrich(鸵鸟)Racing

South Africa and Jacksonville, Florida, USA are the two homes of ostrich racing. Why do some guys like to attend this extreme sport? The show is that sometimes four or even ten ostriches are marching forward and at a time and this is seriously strange. For the supporters, there's a chance to ride an ostrich. Although if you don't want to be bitten or kicked, you can use carts（木车）like ostriches for racing instead.
·BASE Jumping

BASE represents several words—Buildings, Spans，Earth Spans mean bridges and Earth means cliffs(悬崖), but then the beauty of BASE jumping is that it's just launching(发射)yourself from anywhere possible with a parachute(降落伞)ready to go.

Although BASE jumping dates back to 1978, it has been popular quite a lot recently because there are pieces of videos on the Internet and every jump is a new possibility.
·Bird Man Suits
The bird man suit has a few names—the flying squirrel suit, wing-suit and bat-suit, it's a specially designed suit that lets you glide(滑翔) through the air at controlled speeds—adding a

little extra to your usual skydiving experience. This is probably the closest we are going to fly. If combining(结合)this with BASE jumping, you'll get some serious death-defying(挑战死亡的) excited feelings.
26. According to the passage, why is ostrich racing seriously strange?
A. Because ostriches may bite and kick people.
B. Because supporters have chances to ride ostriches.
C. Because four or even ten ostriches are marching forward at a time.
D. Because it has two homes, South Africa and Jacksonville, Florida, USA.
27. The following places are suitable for BASE jumping except .
A. the Little Mermaid B. Mount Fuji
C. the Leaning Tower of Pisa D. the Tower Bridge
28. What is NOT the function of the bird man suit?
A. It helps control flying speed.
B. It helps squirrels and bats fly.
C. It helps people experience gliding through the air.
D. It can help people get serious death-defying excited feelings.
B
It was the first day of class. Two of her new ESL (English as a Second Language) classmates wanted to know where Tara was from. They were both from Korea. Because Tara looked Korean, one of the women asked Tara, in English, if she was from Korea. Tara replied, "No, I'm not." Then the women took turns asking Tara if she was from Japan, or Thailand, or China. To each question, Tara answered them a simple no. Laughing, one woman said to the other, "She's not from anywhere!" The two went to their desks, talking to each other in Korean.
The next day, the teacher divided the students into groups of four. The students in each group asked introductory(介绍的)questions of each other. A student in Tara's group asked her, "Where are you from?" Tara answered that she was from Korea. The two women who had questioned Tara the day before were sitting only a few feet away. Both of them heard Tara's answer.
"Aha!" they both exclaimed, "You ARE from Korea!" Tara smiled and said yes. Then she apologized(道歉)to both of them for lying the day before. She told them that she had not wanted to get into a Korean conversation with them. It had been her experience that many ESL students continued to speak their mother language in ESL class, and Tara had not come to ESL class to practice her Korean. In her opinion， ESL students should try to speak English only.
"I agree." said Rose.
"You're 100 percent right." agreed Jenny, "Rose and I must stop speaking Korean to each other. Right，Rose?" Rose nodded，and then said something in Korean. All three women laughed.
The next half a year, Tara became friendly with both women, although she never spoke a word of Korean to them during class or break.

A. cried in fear B. shouted in surprise
C. screamed with joy D. announced with excitement

A. Tara said she was from Korea because she knew the student in her group was also from Korea
B. Tara said she was from Korea because she wanted to make friends with the student in her group
C. Tara said she wasn't from Korea because she didn't like Rose and Jenny and wasn't willing to speak Korean with them
D. Tara said she wasn't from Korea because she didn't want Rose and Jenny to speak Korean with her the following days

Jack thought himself a basketball fan. He watched quite a lot of American NBA basketball games. Not only did he watch them, he spent much of his free time playing on the court too. Then came the final year of his middle school. All of his regular teammates stopped showing up on the court because they were simply too busy preparing for the high school entrance exam to play.

Jack's basketball friends and he have left for different places, but they still keep in touch. He knows Peter is now a manager of a local bank. Simon is currently a freshman at a university.
