A

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if you love doing sports．Sports are a very important part of human life．However, some are considered to be more dangerous, such as extreme sports．Because of the danger those sports can lead to, many people believe they should be banned(禁止)．I strongly believe that extreme sports are not a danger and should not be banned．There are many reasons for letting them stay a part of our life．Firstly, extreme sports can increase confidence．Secondly, extreme sports challenge people and develop their skills．And last but not least, extreme sports can add to a person’s experience, determination and courage．

Some people say that extreme sports are much too risky, and there is always a danger of serious injury or even death．But if you want to remove risks, you will have to avoid many other human activities like driving and traveling by plane．Even crossing a road is dangerous!

Many popular sports in fact can make players injured easily．Football, basketball, gymnastics, figure skating and other sports can lead to bad results．Do you know that football is one of the most dangerous sports？A professional football player gets up to 200 injuries of different kinds every year! And the incidents where a player dies during the match are not very rare．

Sports do not just have positive physical effects, but they also have mental and social benefits for those who take part in them．I think that taking away elements of risk, danger, and challenge would leave all sports meaningless．Our society will be healthier if more people take part in all types of sports．Banning dangerous sports only limits the freedom of choosing from a wide range of sports that people should feel free to take part in．

Of course, if you want to take part in an extreme sport, you should always be well prepared．After all, safety comes first．

【解题导语】　本文是一篇议论文。极限运动有一定的风险性，很多人倡议禁止极限运动，但作者不赞成这样做。

A　解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的Do you know that football is one of the most dangerous sports? A professional football player gets up to 200 injuries of different kinds every year! And the incidents where a player dies during the match are not very rare．可推测，作者认为足球运动也很危险。

On any given day, you can find most 10­year­old boys throwing a ball around outside, riding their bikes, or playing video games．But Braden Baker is different．

Braden is a hearing impaired(受损的) 5th­grader and has to wear hearing aids(助听器)．Unluckily, Braden’s dog Chewy found his hearing aids on the floor and destroyed them—not once, but twice—and they had to be replaced．But at $3，500 to $6，000 a pair, Braden’s carelessness was costly．

Braden’s mother Ashley sat Braden down and had a long talk about taking better care of his hearing aids, explaining just how much they cost．“I told him that he was lucky we could buy another pair and that some people couldn’t afford a new pair，” Ashley said．

Those words clearly stuck in Braden’s mind, who realized that not every child who needed hearing aids could afford them．So recently, the 10­year­old took it upon himself to start a GoFundMe page to raise money for those who aren’t so lucky．

Braden made a video to explain why he wanted to raise money．Ashley said, “We weren’t really sure how it would turn out．He began with a goal of $1, 000．We woke up the next morning and found that it had raised $400．”

This encouraged him to start making even more videos．Fast­forward a few months and Braden’s GoFundMe page has raised over $15，000, which Braden donated to the Oticon Hearing Foundation．And that money will be used to help other families buy hearing aids for their children．

The project has not only taught Braden the value of money, but according to his mom，“he’s learned that if you put a small idea into action, amazing things can happen．”

As for Braden’s advice to those looking for ways to give back to others？“Don’t give up！Any small idea can get really big．”

【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了10岁的听障男孩发起筹资网页，帮助贫困听障儿童购买助听器的故事。

5．Why did Braden change his hearing aids?

A．He wanted a better pair of hearing aids．

B．The old pairs were destroyed by his dog．

C．His hearing problem became more serious．

D．He lost the old pairs because of his carelessness．

B　解析：细节理解题。由第二段的第二句可知，Braden的狗找到并弄坏了他的助听器。

6．What has led to Braden starting a GoFundMe page?

A．His mother’s words about the usefulness of hearing aids．

B．His mother’s encouragement for him to do good things．

C．His wish to help poor children with hearing problems．

D．His need to buy a new pair of hearing aids．

C　解析：细节理解题。由第四段中的Braden’s mind，who realized that ．．．raise money for those who aren’t so lucky 可知，Braden了解到有些听障儿童买不起助听器，因此他想筹资帮助这些孩子。

7．How did Braden and his mother feel when the page was started?

A．Uncertain． B．Satisfied．

C．Hopeful． D．Unexpected．

A　解析：细节理解题。由第五段中的We weren’t really sure how it would turn out．可知，一开始发起筹资网页时，Braden和妈妈都不确定结果会怎样。

8．What has Braden learned from working on the project?

A．One should always use money smartly．

B．A small idea can make a big difference．

C．Videoing is a good way to reach people．

D．It’s important to dream big and hold on to it．

B　解析：细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的he’s learned that if you ．．．things can happen 可知，Braden 通过筹资学到一件事：将小小的想法付诸行动，会有很棒的结果出现。
