问题 A.the highest mountains    B.as bungee jumping

    Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities.Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure—【T17】______across the greatest oceans.Now, however, there are people who seek animmediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
    I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity.You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 meters above the ground with an elastic rope tied to your ankles.You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground.It is estimated that two million people around the worldhave now tried bungee jumping.Other activities which【T18】______from tall buildingsand diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.

    Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement.They live and work in comparatively safe environment; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.【T20】______such as bungee jumping.
【T17】
选项
答案D
解析 空格前一句的意思为：世界各地愈来愈多的人正在参加危险的体育活动。空格后一句的意思为：但是，现在有人可以从持续时间只有几分钟甚至几秒钟的冒险活动中获取即时的刺激。故空格所在句的意思应为：当然，总是有人寻求冒险——他们攀登最高的山峰，在世界未知的领域探险或是乘小舟跨越大洋。所以，D项符合题意。
