问题 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 adventures—those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate 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 said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall building and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff.
Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
A best title for the text is______.

选项 A、Dangerous sports; what and why
B、The boredom of modern life
C、Bungee jumping: Is it really dangerous?
D、The need for excitement

答案A

解析本文讲述的是现代人通过各种极限运动寻找危险的感觉的现象，以蹦极为例子，并且随后给出了心理学家的解释，为什么人们喜欢通过危险的运动寻找刺激。选项A：危险运动：是什么，为什么。很符合文章的内容和结构。选项B：无聊的现代生活。本文侧重于写危险运动的相关内容，而不是侧重于写无聊的现代生活。选项C：蹦极真的危险吗?文章不是专门用来解释蹦极的危险性的，所以不合适。选项D：刺激的需求。它只是文章后来解释为什么人们热衷于危险运动的原因，而不能全面概括文章内容。所以本题选A。
