(1)More and more young athletes are taking part in risky, adventurous activities called "extreme sports", or "X-sports". Its philosophy is to get as close to the edge as possible.
(2)In the past, young athletes would play hockey or baseball. Today, they want risk and excitement—the closer to the edge the better. They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains. They windsurf near hurricanes, go white-water rafting through rapids, and bungee-jump from towers.
(3)Extreme sports started as an alternative to more expensive sports. A city kid who didn’t have the money to buy expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun. But now it has become a whole new area of sports, with specialized equipment and high levels of skill. There’s even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter X-Games, which includes snow mountain biking and ice climbing. An Extreme Games competition is held each summer in Rhode Island. It features sports such as sky surfing, where people jump from airplanes with surfboards attached to their feet.
(4)What makes extreme sports so popular? "People love the excitement," says Murray Nussbaum, who sells sports equipment. "City people want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging. The new e-quipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt." An athlete adds, "Sure there’s a risk, but that’s part of the appeal. Once you go mountain biking or snowboarding, it’s impossible to go back to bike riding or skiing. It’s just too boring."
(5)Now even the older crowd is starting to join in. Every weekend a group of friends in their early 30s get together. During the week they work as computer programmers in the same office. On Sundays they rent mountain bikes that cost $2,000 each and ride down steep mountains together.
(6)Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefer to play baseball or basketball or watch sports on TV. But extreme sports are definitely gaining in popularity.
Which of the following is NOT true about extreme sports according to the passage?
选项
A、Extreme sports are not as popular as baseball or basketball.
B、Extreme sports are principally popular among young people.
C、Extreme sports will have a more and more prosperous market.
D、Extreme sports require more skills than most of the other sports.
答案
D
解析
第3段第3句只提到极限运动需要high levels of skill,但没有比较是否比别的运动需要“更多的”技巧,因此D的说法不正确,正符合题干要求。根据最后一段第2句可知A正确。根据第2段及第6段可知B正确。根据最后一段可知C正确。
