九年级英语单选题中等难度题查看答案及解析

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 hands. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) 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 well trained. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks (花招，手段). Here are two sides to their work. They 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 stuntmen’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.

Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously hurt, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, flew over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. Although it is full of deadly dangers, this is no longer the work for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stuntwomen too！ (357)

1.Stuntmen are those who ______.

A. often dress up as famous actors     　　

B. prefer to lead dangerous lives

C. often perform dangerous actions

D. often fight each other for their lives

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined sentences in the first paragraph?

A stuntman should _______.

A. crash bravely though a window made of sugar　　　　　　　　　

B. do the well-planned activity at a very moment　　　

C. open his parachute when he jumps down the cliff

D. have got a high degree of skill and training

3.Which could probably the best title of this passage?

A. Fights in the Movies.                B. Crashing Out of the Window.

C. Exciting Films Today.                D. Most Dangerous Work.

Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear did not, a child would burn itself again and again, because fear would not warn the child to keep away from the fire that had burnt him or her before. A really fearless soldier—and some do exist—is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out.

In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: a plane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the wood in your roof , and they later may fall on you , or you may get cancer!

The important thing is not to let fear rule you , but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.

In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is OK.

In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent a plane from crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no plants. In this case , fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you , and you have to try to overcome it.

1.Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if ________.

A.they were given no warning beforehand B.they didn't have any sense of pain at all

C.they had never burnt themselves D.they felt afraid of the fire

2.A really fearless soldier ________.

A.is of a little use to his army B.is not afraid of battles at all

C.is nothing but a dead soldier D.is easy to get killed in a battle

3.People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding dangers because ________.

A.they are warned of the danger and take quick action

B.they are quick both in mind and in action

C.they are calm in face of danger

D.they have gained much experience

4.It is implied but not stated that ________.

A.fear is always something helpful

B.too much fear is harmful

C.fear should be used as a servant and guide

D.fear is something strange and particular
