Passage6.Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure--- those
who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed
in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, 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（蹦极跳）to be a good example of such an activity. You
jump from a high place (perhaps 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 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 would say as
risky as bungee jumping 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（心理学家）
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（生存）.
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in
comparatively safe conditions; 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 look for danger
in activities such as bungee jumping. （5分钟）
●The writer of the text has a ____ attitude（态度）towards dangerous sports.
A. positive（肯定的）
B. negative（否定的）
C. neutral （中立的）
D. nervous

B.draw the readers’ attention to the topic

Passage8A young man from a village called Nawalapitiya married a young woman from
Maliyuwa, a nearby village. They lived with the man's big family-his parents, his brothers, their
wives and children. The family kept an elephant, in which the young woman soon took a great
interest. Every day she fed it with fruit and sugar.
Three months later the woman went back to her parents' home, having quarreled with her
husband. Soon the elephant refused to eat or work. It appeared to be ill and heart-broken. One
morning after several weeks the animal disappeared from the house.
It went to the woman's home. On seeing her, the elephant waved its trunk and touched her
with it. The young woman was so moved by the act of the animal that she returned to her
husband's home. （3分钟）

Passage10 M ore than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured（受伤）each year. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor window.
Wearing a seat belt（安全带）saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.
Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to $ 50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear
your belt. But it will be the driver's responsibility（责任）to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing seat belt of some kind.
However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing（倒退）your vehicle or you are making a local delivery（发送）or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances（情形）apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court
for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it. （3分钟）
●This text is taken from _____.
A. a medical magazine
B. a police report
C. an advertisement（广告）
D. a government information booklet（小册子）五．推断上下文内容
Passage 11
When early humans hunted and gathered food, they were not in control of their environment. They could only interact with their surroundings as lower organisms did. When humans learned to make fire, however, they became capable of altering their environment. To provide themselves with fuel they stripped bark from trees, causing the trees to die. Clearings were burned in forests
to increase the growth of grass and to provide a greater grazing area for the wild animals that humans fed upon. This development led to farming and the domestication of animals. Fire also provided the means for cooking plants which had previously been inedible. Only when the process
of meeting the basic need for food reached a certain level of sophistication was it possible for humans to follow other pursuits such as the founding of cities. （3分钟）
●The paragraph following this passage would most likely be about ____________.
A. fire
B. hunting
C. farming
D. urbanization （城市化）
六、Practice (Homework)
2008年陕西高考E篇
Did you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? The average women’s brain
that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the
weighs 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown
animal, men must be more intelligent(聪明的) than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women
always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years
matters, not just the size of the
of study, researchers have co ncluded that it’s what’s inside that
and“white matter”. While men have more of the
brain. The brain consists of “grey matter”　
latter, the amount of “thinking” brain is almost exactly the same in both sexes.
It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides
of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak
earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same
time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the
baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time.
There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to
spatial(空间的) tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great
footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,
says one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for
directions … and women often need to!
The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿) are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the
action of children as young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier (障碍物) before him or push
it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact
that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It
may all go back to our ancestors(祖先) ,among whom women needed speech skills to take care of
their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.
If all this disappoints you, it shouldn’t. “The brain changes throughout our lives according to
ologist.

A. Women prefer doing many things at a time.
B. Men do better dealing with one job at a time.
C. Women do not need to tell directions.
