On board were Chris, who was taking a tourist, and Ants, the cameraman. Chris indicated I should exit first and the other three would 37 . Later I knew it was this 38 that saved my life.
At 12,000 feet Chris rolled up the door and nodded that it was time for my exit. I put my foot on a step just beside the door, and in an instand the propeller blast (螺旋桨气流) threw me against the side of the plane, half in, half out.

My parachute (降落伞) got caught and my 40 and legs were pushed backwards, powerless, in the strong wind.
I was strangely 41 ．To a skydiver, being at 12,000 feet is a good thing．Altitude is your friend；being close to the ground is deadly and will kill you．

It was actually very 43 ．If any one of a number of factors had been different, I would have 44 ．I could have hit the plane with my head．If I had been the last to exit, the pilot alone would have been unable to free me, and even if he had been aware that I was 45 underneath the plane, he would still have had to land at some point．
Blue Skies, Black Death is the skydivers' mantra （咒语）．On the one hand, there's the freedom and 46 of the open sky．But in order to 47 this joy, you must accept that there is usually only one result if something goes wrong．

Part III Reading comprehension (30 marks)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
Increasingly over the last few years, we have become familiar with the range of small electronic devices or “smart” accessories （附件,饰品 ）．Pocket heart -rate monitors for joggers and electronic maps are just the first examples of many new products that promise to change our lives in all sorts of surprising ways．
As a scientist at New York University．Rosalind Picard tries out different smart accessories before they go on the market．One of these was the so-called " frown （皱眉）headband"．Rosalind was shocked to realize just how often she frowned．Stuck in a traffic jam recently, Rosalind kept hearing the sounds of the tiny sensor inside the band worn around her forehead -each time she frowned in annoyance, the sensor gave out a signal．
Another computer scientist , Stevcn Feiner, is working on a pair of glasses that will do more than help you to see ．Imagine you want to try a restaurant in a foreign city but you're not familiar with the dishes on the menu． If you are wearing a pair of Steven's glasses ．all you have to do is glance above the restaurant’s doorway and your glasses will immediately become windows to the Internet, offering you full details of the meals served inside．The glasses could also be used to help people make speeches, give chefs access to the latest recipes and even provide doctors with patient information while they carry out operations．
At the moment, Steven's invention looks more like a large ski mask than a pair of glasses．
It's a headset connected to a hand-held computer and a Global Positioning System （ GPS ） receiver, which tracks the wearer's position．But he says that these head-worn displays will eventually get smaller and lighter as technology improves．
And, of course, this new technology has a fashionable as well as a useful application．A chemical engineer named Roben Langer has invented a new microchip that, if put inside a ring, can give off different smells according to a person's mood．That, of course, may or may not appeal to you．And, in the end , it is shoppers ．not scientists , who will determine which of these smart accessories will succeed as fashionable items and which are sure to join history's long list of crazy inventions．
It is clear, however ,that as computers get smaller and cheaper．Lhcy will pop up in all sorts of easily-wearable accessories ．even in the buttons on your coat．What’s marc, this is something that's going to happen a lot sooner than we all expect．
56．When Rosalind wore the headband, she was surprised at .
A．how well the sensor worked B．how she was affected by traffic
C．how strong the signal was D．how uncomfortable it was
57． For people eating out, Steven’ s glasses can ,
A．give them a restaurant's location
B．let them see a restaurant's environment
C．inform them about a restaurant’s menu
D．tell them about a restaurant's quality
58．What is the current problem with Steven's glasses?
A．Limited function． B．Inconvenience．
C．High cost． D．Poor Internet access．
59．In general, what does the writer think about smart accessories?
A．They will soon be widely available．
B．Much more research is needed into them．
C．Only a few of them will appeal to shoppers．
D．Most of them are considered to be crazy inventions．
60．What's the writer's purpose in writing this passage?
A．To advertise some smart access ones．
B．To tell interesting stories about smart accessories．
C．To argue that smart accessories are fashionable．
D．To introduce the idea of smart accessories．
B
One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend．“One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states．" said Neville Alexander．Doctor of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town．
In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from Immigration ．many countries have introduced language laws in the laws in the last decade ．In some ,the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters． One of the first such legal provisions was the 1994 " Toubon law' in France．but the idea has been copied in many countries since then．Such efforts to govern language use are often dismissed as futile by language experts ．who are well aware of the difficulty of controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process．
It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the 'purity" of a language by law． Since the time of Shakespeare ． English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language．English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world．But the has not been a barrie
