20,2017,British adventurer Tom Morgan went up over South Africa seated in a camp chair fastened to 100 helium balloons.During the two-hour flight,the balloonist covered 16 miles and reached heights of up to 8,000 feet.Though Morgan later called the experience “unbelievably cool”,he did admit feeling “somewhere between terrified and delighted” during the flight.Morgan,the founder of the League of Adventurists,a British group whose mission is to make the world “less boring”,says the flight was initially supposed to take off from Botswana.However,after strong winds tore the balloons three times,the team decided to attempt it from the outskirts(郊区) of Johannesburg.Given that they only had enough helium(氦) left for one more try,Morgan was happy he was finally able to complete the flight without any unlucky accidents.The adventurer says though the helium flight appears similar to Carl Fredricksens house flight in Pixars Up,his inspiration came from an article on a 1905 gas balloon race.Morgan and his League of Adventurists now hope to add cluster balloon racing to their list of exciting events,which double as fundraisers.Though Morgan is the first to think of introducing helium balloon-powered flights as a sport,he isnt the first person to attempt the dangerous feat.US adventurer Jonathan Trappe has completed numerous such flights,including one across the English Channel.In 2010,Oregon pilot Kent Couch even took a friend along on an attached chair.A year later,National Geographic repeated the scene from Up by using helium balloons to fly a small house,complete with two brave residents,across North Americas Mojave Desert.1.Paragraph 1 mainly serves as a(n) . A.introductionB.summaryC.praiseD.example2.Why did the flight start from the outskirt of Johannesburg?A.Its

reached heights of up to 8,000 feet.”,之后文章就此展开,由此可知,第一段的作用是引入。2.D推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However,after strong winds tore the balloons three times,the team decided to attempt it from the outskirts of Johannesburg.”判断D项正确。3.C细节理解题。根据第三段中的“his inspiration came from an article on a 1905 gas balloon race”可知,C项正确。4.A细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Jonathan Trappe has completed numerous such flights”可知,Jonathan Trappe在氦气球飞行方面经验丰富。.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者失业了,由于年龄的原因,找工作很困难,于是作者决定追求自己的梦想,开一家餐馆。petitive考查形容词。该空修饰名词market,应用形容词,所以填competitive。2.a考查冠词。此处泛指一种不利条件,且disadvantage的首字母发音是辅音,所以填不定冠词a。3.to realise考查非谓语动词。此处是动词不定式作真正主语,it是形式主语。4.What考查名词性从句。“ was most difficult”是一个主语从句,所填的词在从句中作主语,且位于句首,故填What。 5.existing/existent考查形容词。修饰名词café应用形容词,故填existing/existent,表示“现存的”。6.luck考查名词。空格前有形容词great,因此要用名词形式。7.relatives考查名词复数。根据as well as前面的friends可知,该空应为名词,且relative作名词时可数,故此处用复数形式。8.was考查动词的时态及主谓一致。此处指当时的情景,要用过去时;且本句的主语是I,谓语动词要用第三人称单数,故填was。9.better考查副词的比较级。根据句中的than可知,此处用比较级形式。10.for考查介词。be grateful for是固定搭配,意为“对感激”。- 4 -
