in Mysore.So, Mysore is fast moving in Tandem Jump in Skydiving.This city has offered many camps for skydiving.The camps provide Static Jumps, Tandem Jumps and Accelerated Free Fall.When flying like a bird amid the winds, you would agree Mysore is truly one of the best places for skydiving.‎ The first Tandem Jump was not about jumping from high altitude but was of the 30 seconds ride of flying like a bird.No past experience is required.You'll be attached to an instructor who will guide you through the whole skydiving experience.Tandem skydiving is most popular with beginners.In Tandem jump, participants are connected by a harness (安全带) to the instructor.In skydiving camp the instructor gives all information to the participant through the whole free fall and landing.A few hours of training is still required for participants.Skydiving is one of ‎ the most exciting adventure sports in the world.‎ All first time skydiving jumpers are encouraged to jump.If something goes wrong on the way down, you don't have to blame yourself so that you can only concentrate on the beauty and the thrilling feel of free fall from skies.The skydiving training consists of multiple activities that are performed by any skydiving student.However, the tandem master remains primarily responsible for safe and timely parachute (降落伞) opening.‎ A Solo Jump Course is for those who would like to continue flying without any support of an instructor.A Tandem Jump Course is not only for skydiving lovers but also for those who would like to have skydiving as a career through their life.This course is progressing towards a License Course.If you want a license you need to attend tenhour theory classes.A License Course is the one that also needs to complete twentyfive free falls.Then you can apply for the course to move further ahead in the direction of working in the field of skydiving in India.‎ 语篇解读：跳伞运动在印度的迈索尔市蓬勃发展，被许多人青睐。其中双人跳伞是新手最喜欢的。在这种跳伞活动中，你不必担心你的安全，你只需欣赏美丽的天空和地貌。‎ ‎9．In the first

more preventive action to protect sea life against abandoned, lost or waste fishing gear (装备), otherwise known as ghost gear.It is unclear whether the incident was caused by active fishing gear or lost or abandoned ghost gear.But we believe this case highlights the threat to marine wildlife from human activity.‎ Another tragedy happened.The global head of our Sea Change campaign, Ingrid Giskes, said, “The sad story of an entangled (被缠住的) 33ft whale off the coast in Shenzhen in China highlighted the potential risks to marine life.” Ingrid explained how whales can become entangled in large, heavy fishing nets: “These floating death traps can drag them for miles, restricting their movement and ultimately exhausting them until they drown.”‎ We launched the Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI) in 2015.It is an alliance (联盟) of governments, industry representatives, and nongovernmental organizations with a shared commitment to tackle the problem.Members include Young's Seafood, the Marine Conservation Society, supermarket giant Sainsbury's, Surfers Against Sewage and Austral Fisheries.‎ ‎“Abandoned and lost fishing gear leads to one of the greatest threats to marine animal welfare.We estimate that ghost gear kills around 136,000 seals, sea lions and large whales every year through entanglement and ingestion, with many more suffering devastating injuries.” But this is only one of the greatest threats to marine animals.‎ The GGGI gathers information about the scale of the ghost gear problem globally, develops best practice guidelines and information for ‎ the fishing industry and seafood sector and works on the ground to find out sustainable solutions to challenges around fishing gear disposal and collection.Urgent preventative action is needed.We're calling on more organizations to support the GGGI.We need to work together to make change.‎ ‎“We can't afford to be selfsatisfied about protecting marine life.This is a reminder that we need preventive action and we need action quickly.”‎ 语篇解读：海洋动物被困于废弃渔具致死或受伤的事件不断发生，GGGI组织呼吁更多的组织行动起来，采取更积极的措施对海洋动物进行保护。‎ ‎13．What do the two tragedies mainly tell us?‎ A．Human activity threatens marine wildlife.‎ B．Waste fishing gear is the cause of the incidents.‎ C．People have fully realized the risks of ghost nets.‎ D．Sperm whales are seriously endangered recently.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段“But we believe this case highlights the threat to marine wildlife from human activity.”可知，鲸鱼死亡事件明确说明了人类活动对于海洋动物的威胁。‎ ‎14．What does the underlined word probably mean in Paragraph 4?‎ A．Permanent. B．Severe.‎ C．Facial. D．Emotional.‎ 解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据语境可知，前面的内容表述了很多海洋动物死于鬼网，这里应该是即使这些动物不死，也会遭受严重的伤害。故B项符合题意。‎ ‎15．What's the writer's purpose in writing this passage?‎ A．To explain to us the cause of whales' being endangered.‎ B．To remind us of the damage we did to sperm whales.‎ C．To appeal to us for the protection of marine wildlife.‎ D．To accuse of those who fish illegally in the oceans.‎ 解析：选C　写作意图题。文章以两宗鲸鱼死亡事件为开端，讲述了鬼网对海洋动物的危害，谈及了对海洋动物进行保护的非官方组织GGGI，并号召其他相关组织积极投入到保护海洋动物的行动中来。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 ‎(2018·成都市诊断性检测)Color is in everything we touch, taste, smell and feel.It evokes (唤起) emotion without any thought.__1__ We are all familiar with it, but do you know the following facts?‎ Silver will save you life.When buying a new car and finding yourself facing various choices, you can't think clearly.Your best choice is to go with silver.Silvercolored cars are least likely to be involved in a car accident.__2__ Another reason is the silver color's ability to have a look of cleanliness.‎ ‎__3__ Tough prisoners and crazy patients?
