问题     Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Some of the best swimming, snorkeling and sea kayaking can be found here. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano(火山) surfing and land diving.
    Volcano Surfing
    On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises more than 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts(爆发) almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano—without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous—the perfect extreme sport (极限运动).
    Land Diving
    Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The original activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony. A man ties tree vines (树藤) to his legs. He then jumps headfirst from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head—without breaking the vine or hitting the earth hard. Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazing test of bravery.
In the last paragraph "the earth" refers to________.
选项 A、the ground
B、the tree
C、the tower
D、the local people
答案A
解析 根据最后一段第三、四句“A man ties tree vines to his legs. He then jumps headfirst from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head…”可知，一个男人把树藤绑在腿上；然后他头朝下从一座高塔跳下，用他的头顶接触地面。由此可推知，the earth意为“地面”，与A项(地面)意思最为接近。B项意为“树”；C项意为“塔”，D项意为“当地人”，这三项均不符合题意。故选A。
