第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分 ）

第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

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

When we are unfamiliar with something, we may feel nervous and fearful. The help of others is a good way to make us pull through. I write for a big newspaper, and I wanted to write a story about parachute(降落伞) jumping. To make it a realistic as well as exciting story, I decided that I first had to make a jump myself. Unfortunately, I am not good at any sport of any kind, let alone parachute jumping. My friend Mr. Smith was willing to give me a hand. He took me to a ground school. The first day's training included several hours of instruction but not my first drop from an airplane. For this, I had to wait until the following morning. The next morning, after a hurried, anxious breakfast, I was taken to the airfield. There, two heavy parachutes were put on my back. Then I was asked to make my way to a small plane which had just stopped slowly on the runway. Once on the plane, it was soon climbing. I began to feel nervous. As we reached one thousand meters, Harry, my teacher, hooked(钩) a line from my parachute to a steel ring inside the plane. The line was to pull my parachute open after I jumped. "Get ready, Henry," Harry said. I moved carefully to the door. I wanted to cry, "No, no, no!" but no word came. "Jump!" Harry called out loudly. "Jump!" To my surprise, kicking like a frog, I did jump. Away from the plane, and down, down I fell. It worked! The air seemed to hold me up. I was very happy. Then I felt a quick pull. My big parachute had opened! It was like the best surprise I'd ever had. I looked down. There were rivers, trees, fields and houses. I heard the soft sound of the air. This was fun!

51. The writer made a parachute jump himself ________. A. to learn more about parachute jumping B. to make his story realistic and exciting C. to have a rest from his busy work D. to prove to others his skill and courage52.

B

I was reading a recent post on a bog I really like, and it got me thinking about my younger, more impressive high school self. So I decided to write a letter to my younger self.
