解析:

(1)

silly在此和前文及第四段第二句中的stupid相呼应,表示“愚蠢的”。

(2)

as引导定语从句,不用which,因as is known(to all), as everybody can see之类的定语从句已成为固定搭配,as有“正如”之意。

(3)

从下文中多个国家和人数上可以看出应用popular,表示“流行”。

(4)

dive表示“向下猛冲,俯冲”。

(5)

saved表示蹦极的人只通过一根绳子来系着他们的“安危”。含“被拯救”之意。

(6)

hitting在这里表示“撞击”。

(7)

started up表示“起源”,开创,强调“开始”。

(8)

下文谓语动词用的是现在完成时,只有since then适合作它的时间状语。

(9)

happen表示“一次次的发生”,而appear只表示首次“露面,出现”。

(10)

although引导让步状语从句,整个句子意思是“虽然在一些国家被禁止,但在美国和其他一些国家还是流行起来了”。

(11)

前后对比,前面流行,而这里表示被禁止。

(12)

at在这里相当于at the speed of,“以……的速度”。

(13)

break这里指蹦极线断开。

(14)

从上下文看,这里是表示乐观兴奋的感叹,只有great适合。

(15)

由上文的first, then,推断这里应用last,意为“最近的一次”。

(16)

从本文来看,蹦极已成为一项运动,而不是一般的活动。

(17)

damage在这里表示“伤害”,相当于hurt。

(18)

从下文but的转折来看,应填nobody。

(19)

chances在这里表示“可能性”,死亡的几率。而不能用adventure“冒险,奇遇”。

(20)

properly意为“适当”,包含的意思较全面。
