Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Exactly a decade has passed since a man called Oxygen first threw himself across America. Known for his jumping ability, Oxygen, a Czech, who jumped a nearly 10­foot­wide abyss (深渊). Today, Petr Kops, 21, is wearing Oxygen's pants. “I did not know Oxygen personally, but my sister did，” Kops said. “I wear his trousers for good luck.” Minutes later, Kops was standing at the edge of a 70­foot abyss called Broken Bones.
While it may seem suicidal (自杀的), jumping across a gap is actually an extreme sport that is gaining in popularity. Called rock jumping, or simply jumping, this activity is taking place in the Adrspach­Teplice Rocks, a remote nature preserve in the northeast part of the Czech Republic. Known for its 11 square miles of sandstone, the region has been loved by lifelong rock climbers. “The aim is to get to the top of as many towers as you can.” said Vladimir Prochazka, known as June Bug, a 59­year­old climber and a collector of Czech rock climbing histories.
Jumping is often the most possible way to get to the tower. In most cases, climbers jump with a rope tied around their waist. If they miss the landing — which is not uncommon — they will fall into the wall of the base tower. “Jumping requires fearlessness，” Prochazka said. “Broken or damaged bones are fairly common.” Still, there are those who prefer to experience by jumping without a rope. Among the most well­known of these adventurers are Petr Prachtel and his wife, Zorka, who helped create the sport in the 1960s. They pioneered countless jumps, sometimes without the safety of a rope.

A holiday in the sun? Lovely? But be careful. As the holiday season is coming, it seems reasonable to remind holiday makers of the dangers. Spending too much time in the sun and the sea will be bad for you. Consucla Fernandezz, a Spanish hotel owner, says，“Holiday visitors sometimes are stupid. They go straight to the beach on their first day and lie in the sun too long. Then they begin to feel terrible so they have to stay inside for a few days.”
It is very important to be careful with the sun during the first few days of your holiday. It is better to sunbathe for just half an hour during the first few days and then increase the amount of time each day.
And it's stupid to go to the beach in the middle of the day, when the sun is very hot. The morning is better — or late afternoon.
“It is unwise to take passports and tickets with you when you go shopping or sightseeing. It is much better to put all your valuables in the hotel safe. This is what I always tell my guests，” the owner says. “It is better to be safe than sorry! But they seldom take any notice.”
Of course it's common sense. But tourists seem to leave their common sense at home when they go on holiday!
4．Some holiday visitors are stupid because ________.
A．they go to the beach on their first day, even in the middle of the day
B．they stay in the sun too long to sunbathe with their fellow visitors
C．they get too much sunlight on the beach at the beginning of their holiday
D．they swim in the middle of the day without noticing the harm
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第一段中“Holiday visitors sometimes are stupid. They go straight to the beach on their first day and lie in the sun too long.”可知答案。
5．The Spanish hotel owner advised us to ________.
A．stay longer in the hotel at the end of the holiday
B．take a bath twice a day
C．spend less time on the beach at the beginning of the holiday
D．do more exercise before every noon
解析：选C。细节理解题。文章第二段说明了在开始的几天不应过多地在海滩进行日光浴，而应逐渐增加。
6．The last sentence of this passage means that the tourists ________ when they go on holiday.
A．are overjoyed
B．often leave things at home
C．learn a lot
D．don't know what they should do
解析：选D。细节理解题。该句句意为：但游客们似乎在度假时将这一常识丢在了家里。其内在的含义为游客们在度假时不知道该怎么做。
7．The main idea of the passage is ________.
A．a holiday in the sun must be a pleasure
B．a hotel owner's advice for summer holidays
C．what you should take notice of for your summer holidays
D．what you should do before you have your holidays
解析：选C。主旨大意题。全篇重点介绍了度假的注意事项，故C项对文章主旨有较强的概括性。
