Extreme sports like skydiving(跳伞运动) are usually associated with young people. However, it’s not always the case. Ibrahim Kalesic, an 88-year-old competitor from Bosnia, is competing in skydiving fearlessly. It has often been suggested that you ignore your age if you want to try or achieve something. ___________ This living legend is a perfect example of this phrase.

In the footage, Kalesic jumped from the plane by himself while fully dressed like a skydiver. He came down to the ground wearing his life-saving parachute(降落伞). He made his 1487th jump since he was introduced to the sport 71 years ago.

Ibrahim Kalesic has led a life filled with crazy adventures. He stated that taking part in such activities provides him a sense of fulfillment(成就感) and purpose in life. He also said that he entered a skydiving competition at the age of 70. It took place in Bosnia’s western town of Bihac. Kalesic has a plan for staying fit at his age. Skydiving is an extreme sport that demands focuses. One needs to get enough sleep for this. He says, to sleep soundly, people must also ensure that they haven’t hurt anyone. At this point, a person may be able to sleep without nightmares(噩梦).

Before becoming a jumping coach himself, Kalesic received instruction at a flying school in Serbia when he was a young man. He broke a Yugoslav record in 1963 by jumping out of a plane at 5, 500 meters. Last month, Kalesic performed 21 jumps in just five days. It happened during a tournament in the town of Prijedor in the northwest.

In his interview with a news organization, Kalesic also discussed his plans. For the next ten years, he stated, he wants to continue doing what he truly enjoys. Additionally, he says that he intends to enter himself as the oldest skydiver into the Guinness World Records.

1.Which sentence can be put in the blank in the first paragraph?

A Wisdom goes with age.

B Age is merely a number.

C Achievement is everything.

D Youngsters are more energetic.

解析：选B。B推理判断题。根据第一段题空前的“you ignore your age if you want to try or achieve something”可知作者建议忽略年龄；结合题空后的“This living legend is a perfect example of this phrase”这位在世的传奇人物就是这句话的完美例子，可知题空处应该填入类似“年龄并不重要”这样的句子，B项“年龄只是一个数字”最符合文意。故选B。

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true about Ibrahim Kalesic?

A He started to skydive at the age of 17.

B He entered a competition in 2004.

解析：选C。C细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句的“he was introduced to the sport 71 years ago”可知今年（2022年）88岁的他71年前（即17岁）第一次接触跳伞；根据第三段第三句的“he entered a skydiving competition at the age of 70”可知他70岁时（即2004年）参加了一个跳伞比赛； 根据第四段第二句的“He broke a Yugoslav record in 1963”可知，他在1963年（即29岁）时打破了南斯拉夫的一项记录，C 项不正确；根据第四段第一句的“Before becoming a jumping coach himself”可知，他自己是一名跳伞教练，即他教别人跳伞。故选C。

解析：选B。B细节理解题。根据第三段的“Kalesic has a plan for staying fit at his age”可知他要继续保持健康；根据最后一段的“he wants to continue doing what he truly enjoys”以及“he intends to enter himself as the oldest skydiver into the Guinness World Records”他要继续跳伞并且想打破一项世界纪录。文中并未提及他还要接受训练。故选B。
