What is AFP? AFP is a comprehensive,16 jump program designed to train an individual with a strong foundation to become a solo,certified skydiver by building strong freefall and canopy skills.Upon completion of the AFP program,students will need to make 9 solo jumps and learn to pack in order to attain an A license. What is an A license? An A license certifies that a skydiver can safely jump with other skydivers and visit other skydiving centers.Attaining an A license requires a physical test,passing of a written test,a United States Parachute Association membership,a minimum of 25 jumps and showing ability to pack a parachute. How is AFP different from tandem training? Unlike a tandem skydive,your first jump will have you at the controls flying your very own parachute!On your first skydive,two instructors will jump alongside you giving you feedback using hand signals throughout the skydive.At the end of the freefall,you will deploy your own parachute and our ground crew will then talk you down via wireless radio giving you instructions based on the flight plan introduced during the first jump course.Click here to see an example of what jump number one looks like! 【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了南卡罗来纳州跳伞的培训课程,介绍了自由落体课程的内容,如何 获得跳伞执照,该培训课程与其他高空跳伞课程的不同等。 21.When you have skydive training with AFP,. A.you can watch video before skydiving B.your jumps will be set down immediately C.you will get feedback by watching videos D.you must do some video debriefs first 答案 C 解析细节理解题。根据第一部分的最后一句“All jumps are video recorded and are used during video debriefs after the skydive for immediate feedback and learning.”可知,所有的跳伞都用录像记录下来,跳 伞后可以立刻得到反馈。 22.On your first skydive with AFP,you . A.will be flying your very own parachute B.will be accompanied by two instructors C.can talk to the instructors via wireless radio D.can get feedback by watching video 答案 B 解析细节理解题。根据最后一部分的“.two instructors will jump alongside you giving you feedback using hand signals throughout the skydive.”可知,第一次跳伞的时候会有两个教练陪你跳,并且在跳伞 的过程中用手语给你反馈。 23.Where is the passage taken from? A.A travel journal. B.A sports magazine. C.A newspaper. D.A website. 答案 D 解析推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“Click here to see an example of what jump number one looks like!” 可知,所选文章出自一个网站。 B UPS(联合包裹) driver Ryan Arens was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman,Montana,when he heard an unearthly sound.“Like a cry for help,” he told the Dodo.It was December 2019,and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that crya half-submerged brown-and-white wirehaired hound(猎犬),struggling to hold to a thin layer of ice.How she got there no one knows,but an elderly man was already on the scene.Hed entered the pond in a rowboat and was knocked at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.It was slow going,and Arens,44,thought he stood a better chance. “Animals are my weakness,” he told the Great Falls Tribune,explaining why he stripped(拆开) down to his boxers and socks,even though the temperature was freezing cold,and commandeered the rowboat. His heart thumping,Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other mans rock to smash away at the ice.He gave one strong knock and slipped off the boat,crashing into 16 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under.Using nervous energy to keep warm,he swam about five feet toward her,grabbed hold of her collar,and pulled her to the ice.He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore,where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner,a retired veterinarian.Once in the house himself,Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both defrosted(解冻).A few more minutes in the pond,the vet told Arens,the dog would have likely suffered cardiac arrest(心脏骤停). The next day,Arens was back working the same neighborhood when the dogs owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie.“Would you like to meet her?” he asked. He opened the door to his pickup(皮卡),and Sadie rushed out.She made a beeline for Arens,leaping on him and bathing him in wet kisses.That special delivery,says Arens,“was the highlight of my UPS career.” 【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一位汽车司机从冰冷的水中救出一只宠物狗的故事。 24.The underlined word “unearthly” most probably means . A.terrifyingB.strange C.interestingD.pleasant 答案 B 解析词义猜测题。根据下文的“Like a cry for help”猜测,该单词的意思相当于“奇怪的”,所以选 B 项。 25.What was an elderly doing when Ryan Arens arrived on the scene? A.He was skating on the ice. B.He was rowing in the pond. C.He was trying to save the dog. D.He was walking on the path. 答案 C 解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but an elderly man was already on the scene.Hed entered the pond in a rowboat and was knocked at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog”可知,那个人试图救 那只狗。 26.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A.Why Arens fell into the water. B.How Arens rescued the dog. C.How dangerous it was in freezing water. D.Who the dog belonged to. 答案 A 解析主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“He gave one strong knock and slipped off the boat,crashing into 16 feet of freezing water.”可知,这里介绍的是他为什么掉进水里了。 27.What did Sadie do when its owner opened the door of the pickup? A.She jumped on him. B.She kissed him. C.She ran directly to Arens. D.She remained still. 答案 C 解析细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Sadie rushed out.She made a beeline for Arens,”可知,Sadie 直接 跑向了 Arens。 C If youre a cycling lover,you will have to pay a lot of attention to your bicycle and maintain it well,for bicycle parts are exposed to wear and tear (磨损) over time and you have to examine the bicycle to see if there are any signs of wearing such as scratches,dents (凹陷),etc.Sometimes,a part may not work because it has exceeded its life expectancy.Sometimes,you will need to find replacement parts for it to keep up the performance of the bicycle. Different parts of a bicycle will wear at different rates so it is very important that you have a basic understanding about the role played by each part.One of the most important parts of the bicycle is the frame.You will need to choose a frame that lasts for a very long time.Of course,you will see some paint scratches after some time.When youre selecting a frame,you have to think about the material.Aluminium(铝) frames will not rust easily,but they have a higher chance to dent.Steel frames will be hard to dent,but you will need to make sure they get a good paint job so that they wont rust. Wheels also experience a lot of wear and tear and you should go for a professional seller when you want to buy wheels.There are different types of wheels that you can buy,like Zipp wheels that provide more aerodynamic efficiency (空气动力学效能).Investing in new tyres instead of going for used is a good idea because you will be able to get more use out of it.The same goes for chain as theres a higher chance of a used chain breaking.You may also experience shifting problems.However,some parts of bicycles such as pedals can be used for a long time and you can find different styles. Other parts that you can buy used are seats,handlebars and the stem.When you are buying handlebars,you have to see if there are any dents or if they have been bent out of shape.There shouldnt be any cracks in the seat post or the handlebars.There are many shops where you can buy parts,so you will have to check the references to see how customers respond to them before you buy anything. 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。对于自行车爱好者而言,了解自行车的各个部分如何工作非常 重要。文章针对自行车各个部分,如:车架该如何选择、对于车轮和链条的选择等提出了详细的建议 作为参考。 28.According to the passage,cycling lovers should . A.buy a new bicycle to keep up the performance B.replace the bicycle parts with signs of wearing C.choose aluminium frames rather than steel ones D.learn how each part of the bicycle basically works 答案 D 解析细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Different parts of a bicycle will wear at different rates so it is very important that you have a basic understanding about the role played by each part.”可知,自行车的不 同部件磨损速度不同,所以对每个部件的作用有一个基本的了解是非常重要的。即自行车爱好者应 该了解自行车的各个部分是如何工作的,故选 D 项。 29.Which parts may be replaced by the used ones? A.Wheels and chains. B.Tyres and seats. C.Handlebars and stems.

Different parts of a bicycle will wear at different rates so it is very important that you have a basic understanding about the role played by each part.One of the most important parts of the bicycle is the frame.You will need to choose a frame that lasts for a very long time.Of course,you will see some paint scratches after some time.When youre selecting a frame,you have to think about the material.Aluminium(铝) frames will not rust easily,but they have a higher chance to dent.Steel frames will be hard to dent,but you will need to make sure they get a good paint job so that they wont rust. Wheels also experience a lot of wear and tear and you should go for a professional seller when you want to buy wheels.There are different types of wheels that you can buy,like Zipp wheels that provide more aerodynamic efficiency (空气动力学效能).Investing in new tyres instead of going for used is a good idea because you will be able to get more use out of it.The same goes for chain as theres a higher chance of a used chain breaking.You may also experience shifting problems.However,some parts of bicycles such as pedals can be used for a long time and you can find different styles. Other parts that you can buy used are seats,handlebars and the stem.When you are buying handlebars,you have to see if there are any dents or if they have been bent out of shape.There shouldnt be any cracks in the seat post or the handlebars.There are many shops where you can buy parts,so you will have to check the references to see how customers respond to them before you buy anything. 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。对于自行车爱好者而言,了解自行车的各个部分如何工作非常 重要。文章针对自行车各个部分,如:车架该如何选择、对于车轮和链条的选择等提出了详细的建议 作为参考。 28.According to the passage,cycling lovers should .
