25、阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Lake Victoria is the largest lake in AfricA． It is also the second largest lake in the world． It is an important lake because it is one of the sources(源头) for the longest river in the world, the Nile River．Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power for several African countries．Lake Victoria is a big part of African life．

Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem．It is shrinking．There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda． These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level．For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meters．Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters．There seem to be several reasons for this drop．

One possible reason is drought(干旱)．Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000．Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake．

However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(factories) on Lake Victoria． Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000．Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria． As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level．

Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same．This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life．People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake．Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food． Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water．Plants around the lake will die without the water, and then more animals and people will suffer．Unless the lake fills soon, many people will suffer and die．

【1】Lake Victoria is __________．

A． an important lake in Africa.

B． the largest lake in the world．

C． the source of water, food and power for America．

D． the only source for the Nile River．

【2】What does the underlined sentence “It is shrinking” most probably mean?

A． It is becoming larger．

B． It is becoming more beautiful．

C． It is becoming smaller．

D． It is becoming more useful．

【3】The water level of Lake Victoria is now __________．

A． 2.5 meters

B． 11.9 meters

C． 14.4 meters

D． 9.4 meters

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A． Rain water is the only source for the lake．

B． There has been little rain in the lake area since 2000．

C． The power plants in Uganda provide water for the lake．

D The power plants in Uganda were made larger in 2000．

【5】According to the passage, how can we solve the problems around Lake Victoria?

26、Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure-those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.

I would consider bungee jumping （蹦极跳）to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon)200 meters above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to l50 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that two million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other risky activities include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.

Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people's lives were often in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was harder than that of the present days.

Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in safe environment; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

【1】More and more people today ______.

A. are trying activities such as bungee jumping

B. are climbing the highest mountains

C. are coming close to death in sports

D. are looking for adventures such as exploring unknown places

【2】In bungee jumping, you ______.

A. jump as high as you can

B. slide down a rope to the ground

C. tie yourself to a rope and fall to the ground

D. fall towards the ground without a rope

【3】People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because ______.

A. they have a lot of free time

B. they can go to hospital if they are injured

C. there isn’t so much excitement in life.

D. they no longer need to hunt for food

【4】Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A. Modern Life is Boring

B. Dangerous Sports: What and Why

C. Is Bungee Jumping Really Dangerous

D. Need for Excitement
