    阅读理解

    　　You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight．They hit one another hard．At the start they only fight with their fists(拳头)．But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs．And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below．He is dead!

    　　Of course he isn't really dead．With any luck he isn't even hurt．Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals(专业人士)．They do this for a living．These men are called stuntmen(替身演员)．That is to say, they perform tricks．

    　　There are two sides to their work．．They actually do most of the things you see on the screen．For example, they fall from a high building．However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床垫)．Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!

    　　But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training．Often a stuntman's success depends on careful timing(时间测量)．For example, when he is "blown up"in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of th explosion(爆炸)just at the right moment．

    　　Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives．They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed．A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff(悬崖)a thousand feet high．His parachute failed to open, and he was killed．

    　　In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only．Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action．For nowadays there are stunt-girls too!

    (1)

    Stuntmen are those who ________

    [　　]

    A．

    often dress up as actors

    B．

    prefer to lead dangerous lives

    C．

    often perform seemingly dangerous actions

    D．

    often fight each other for their lives

    (2)

    Stuntmen earn their living by ________

    [　　]

    A．

    playing their dirty tricks

    B．

    selling their special skills

    C．

    jumping out of high windows

    D．

    jumping from fast moving trains

    (3)

    Usually when a stuntman falls from a high building ________

    [　　]

    A．

    he needs little protection

    B．

    he will be covered with a mattress

    C．

    his life is endangered

    D．

    his safety is generally all right

    (4)

    What can be inferred from the author's example of the Norwegian stuntman?

    [　　]

    A．

    Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman．

    B．

    The percentage of serious accidents is high

    C．

    Parachutes must be of good quality．

    D．

    The cliff is too high．

    As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating(发电)and transmission (输送) system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.
    The 19 th century saw land grants(政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.
    Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.
    So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species(物种) will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.
    The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.
    The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.
    【小题1】What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?

    A．Small towns along the railways became abandoned.
    B．Land in the West was hard to manage.
    C．Some railroad stops remained underused.
    D．Land grants went into private hands.
    【小题2】What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?
    A．The use of money and power.
    B．The transmission of power.
    C．The conservation of solar energy.
    D．The selection of an ideal place.
    【小题3】What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?
    A．Disapproving.B．Approving.C．Doubtful.D．Cautious.
    【小题4】Which is the best title for the passage?
    A．How the Railways Have Affected the West
    B．How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced
    C．How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West
    D．How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled
