Ⅴ.阅读理解
You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight.They hit one another hard.At
the start they only fight with their fists.But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with
chairs.And so it goes on until one of the men crashes(撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet
to the ground below.He is dead!
Of course he isn’t really dead.With any luck he isn’t even hurt.Why?Because the men who
fall out of high windows or jump from fastmoving trains,who crash cars or even catch fire,are
professionals.They do this for a living.These men are called stuntmen.That is to say,they perform
tricks.
There are two sides to their work.They actually do most of the things you see on the
screen.For example,they fall from a high building.However,they do not fall on to hard ground but
on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床垫).Again,when they hit one another
with chairs,the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows,the glass is
made of sugar!
But although their work depends on trick of this sort,it also requires a high degree of skill
and training.Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing.For example , when he is
“blown up” in a battle scene,he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right
moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work,but they lead dangerous lives.They often get
seriously injured,and sometimes killed.A Norwegian stuntman,for example,skied over the edge
of a cliff(悬崖) a thousand feet high.His parachute(降落伞) failed to open,and he was killed.
In spite of all the risks,this is no longer a profession for men only.Men no longer dress up as
women when actresses have to perform some dangerous actions.For nowadays there are
stuntwomen,too!
1.Stuntmen are those who ________.
A.often dress up as actors
B.prefer to lead dangerous lives
C.often perform seemingly dangerous actions
D.often fight each other for their lives
2.Stuntmen earn their living by ________.
A.playing their dirty tricks
B.selling their special skills
C.jumping out of high windows
D.jumping from fastmoving trains
3.When a stuntman falls from a high building,________.
A.he needs little protection
B.he will be covered with a mattress
C.his life is endangered
D.his safety is generally all right
4.Which of the following is the main factor(因素) of a successful performance?
A.Strength. B.Exactness. C.Speed. D.Carefulness.
5.What can be inferred from the author’s example of the Norwegian stuntman?
A.Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.
B.The percentage of serious accidents is high.
C.Parachutes must be of good quality.
D.The cliff is too high.
fine adj.美好的;晴朗的
生义:n.罚款,罚金;vt.罚款
(1)It’s a fine day.天气晴朗。
(2)The man will get a fine if he parks the car here.
如果一个人在这里停车,他将会被罚款。
(3)I was fined thirty dollars for speeding.
我因超速被罚款 30 美元。

无希望的,符合语境。hopeful 有希望的;possible 可能的;likely 可能的。]
2.A [句意为:该公司因违反安全条例而被罚款 2 万英镑。fine 罚款;deserve 值得;
finish 完成;design 设计。]
3.A [wish,hope 和 want 表示主观愿望,这与 because 引导的原因状语从句“因为她
是最棒的”没有因果关系。而 deserve 表示“应该”,与 because 引导的原因状语从句存在因果
关系。]
4.B [句意为:一次促销活动中,我只花了 10 美元就买了一件衣服,真划算。bargain“减
价品,便宜货”,符合题意。]
5.B [句意为:没必要挤,我们一个接一个地上火车。one after another 陆续地,一
个接一个地。]
6.B [句意为:由这位护士负责的所有孩子都受到了很好的照顾。take charge of 掌管,
负责;in the charge of 被……掌管,被……负责;in charge of 掌管,负责。由句意知选 B
项。]
7.C [句意为:Sam 只通过观察别人用电脑就学到了一些电脑知识。bring up 提出;
养育;呕吐;look up 查询;查阅;pick up 自然而然地或无意中学会;set up 建立,创立。]
8.D [so...that...(如此……以致于……)在句中引导结果状语从句。在 such...that...句型
中,such 后接名词。]
9.B [allow doing sth.允许做某事;allow sb.to do sth.允许某人做某事。]
10.D [marry 作“嫁,娶”解时,可作及物动词,其后直接接宾语;marry/get married
表示瞬间动作,不与时间段连用;be married (to)可与时间段连用,综上知本题选 D。]
Ⅴ.1.C [深层理解题。根据文章第二段第四句“Because the men who fall out of high
windows...or even catch fire, are professionals.”及第二 段后两句 “These men are called
stuntmen.That is to say,they perform tricks.”可知正确答案为 C 项。]
2.B [细节理解题。由第四段第一句“But although their work depends on trick of this
sort,it also requires a high degree of skill and training.”可知正确答案为 B 项。]
3.D [细节理解题。 从文中第三段第三、四句“For example,they fall from a high
building.However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes
covered with a mattress.”知正确答案为 D 项。]
4.B [深层理解题。由文中第四段后两句“Often a stuntman’s success depends on
careful timing.For example,when he is ‘blown up’ in a battle scene,he has to jump out of the
way of the explosion just at the right moment.”可知特技演员的成功表演要求最主要因素不
是小心、仔细,而是要精确。正确答案为 B 项。]
5.A [推理判断题。从倒数第二段可以推断出特技演员有时会出事故。因此正确答案为 A
项。]
