Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventurethose who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds. I would consider bungee-jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high placeperhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon 200 meters above the ground with an elastic有弹性的rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers. It is estimated 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 involve jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs(悬崖). Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists心理学家 suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago peoples lives were constantly under threat. 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 and work in comparatively(相对地) safe environments; they buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee-jumping.21. More and more people today are .A. trying activities such as bungee-jumping B. climbing the highest mountains C. coming close to death in sports D. looking for adventures such as exploring unknown places 22. People take part in dangerous sports nowadays probably because .A. they have a lot of free time B. they can go to hospital when they are injured C. their lives are short of excitement D. they no longer need to hunt for food 23. What does the underlined word “thrill in the first paragraph mean?A. A strong feeling of excitement. B. A feeling of unhappiness.C. A feeling of being upset. D. A feeling of being frightened.BMany people go mad when they sit next to a child who is screaming in an airplane. Some travelers get nervous, not only because planes are packed and foot space is limited, but also because crying babies get on their nerves. In some cases parents dont do anything to stop screaming, in others nothing helps to calm a child down.Now more and more travelers are demanding child-free flights or sections reserved for families on planes. Some passengers would even pay extra money if they could avoid the crying and screaming of children in the cabin. Many parents are in favor of the suggestion as well because crying children are a stress for them too. A section for parents and their children would give families a chance to laugh, cry and talk to their children. The airlines themselves, however, do not like this idea. They say that flying is a tough industry and they are not going to tell passengers to take another flight if they want a certain one. There are many difficulties in family sections on planes too. How would you arrange the seating? What if parents want to sit in the back row and children up in the front? What would happen if a large family suddenly cancelled a flight? If you provide an area for families some people might then want a section for obese肥胖的 people, or ones only for seniors. Airlines simply can't let that happen. One airline official especially trained to handle children says there are things parents can do to make flying with children more stress-free. You could supply an infant(婴儿) with something to do during a flight or request a seat in the last row of the plane where you wouldn't bother anyone else. In any case, it's important to stay calm.24."Child-free flights" in the second paragraph probably refers to “flights . A. without children B. without payment C. with crying babies D. with a lot of toys 25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? A. Nothing can be done to calm a crying child down on a plane. B. You can avoid sitting with children if you pay extra money. C. Children screaming in the cabin can be tolerated by other passengers. D. Airlines would have many difficulties if passengers could choose their seats. 26. What's the airlines' attitude towards dividing special sections on planes? A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Optimistic. CJohn and Bobby joined the same company together just after they graduated from university the same year. Both of them worked very hard.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research. 31 Try the following steps:Calm yourself. 32 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Dont wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. 33 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. 34 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view.Dont forget to forgive yourself. 35 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you dont do it.A. Try to see things from your offenders angle. B. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.C. How should you start to forgive? D. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique. E. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time. F. Why should you forgive?G. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.第三局部 英语知识运用共两节，总分值30分第一节 完形填空共20小题；每题1分，总分值20分阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最正确选项。Bill Whites father is a lawyer.
