What did Mike do to end his normal and dull life? [br]
In this section, you will hear a monologue. The monologue will be read twice. After the monologue, there will be a one-minute pause. During the pause, read the questions and the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
Skydiving
I’m Mike. It all started one evening after another typical nine to five day. I was sitting at home thinking, " There has to be more to life than this," when an ad came on the television: " Try skydiving," it said.
The next day, I called my local skydiving centre and booked my first jump.
I spent a day training and then I was ready for my first jump. Or almost. First, I had to sign a document to say that I understood I was taking part in an activity that could end in serious injury. At that moment I realized that I was about to do something voluntarily that would put my life at risk and as I signed, I wondered if I was completely mad.
I will never forget my first jump. Five of us walked to the runway and got into a plane barely big enough to hold three people. I was beginning to feel nervous, but the others were chatting and joking and I started to feel more relaxed. It was a beautiful, cloudless day and the sun was just going down. It took us about 20 minutes to get to 11, 000 feet and then the trainer opened the plane door—the view took my breath away. Suddenly, it was time to jump and as I pushed myself away from the plane, I don’t know what I was thinking, my mind went blank.
Words cannot describe the excitement and the astonishment I experienced while I was free-falling.
At 5 , 500 feet I pulled the cord and the parachute opened immediately. Suddenly, everything was silent and peaceful. Twice I shouted, "This is absolutely incredible," though I knew there was nobody to hear me. It was the most amazing four minutes of my life.
选项
A、Nothing.
B、He was going to die.
C、He was going to fly.
D、It was fun.
答案
A
解析
麦克描述中提到开始跳伞时,自己根本不知道在想什么,大脑一片空白“Suddenly,itwas time to jump and as I pushed myself away from the plane,I don’t know what I wasthinking,my mind went blank”,故A项正确。
