【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三则新闻：阿联酋迪拜，展示摩天轮；中国张家界，世界上最高的蹦极重新开放；泰国曼谷，闲置的出租车用作蔬菜地。
31. C 推理判断题。根据“Jump operator Jonni Deaker says that the height makes the jump easier. ‘When you're this high，it kind of feels like skydiving，’ he said.”可知根据乔尼·迪克的说法，这个高度对蹦极有优势。故选 C。
32. C 推理判断题。根据“Visitors to the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge can once again drop 260 metres into the canyon below，now that the world's highest bungee jump has reopened.”可推理出，世界上最高的蹦极对人们来说并不陌生。故选 C。
33. A 文章出处题。短文主要介绍了三则新闻：阿联酋迪拜，展示摩天轮；中国张家界，世界上最高的蹦极重新开放；泰国曼谷，闲置的出租车用作蔬菜地，由此可推理出，以上所有新闻可能来自《世界日志》。故选 A。

【分析】
这是一篇多新闻片段组合的阅读理解，解题时可以按照题干引导逐步推进：
1. 第31题直接抓取人名Jonni Deaker作为关键词，快速定位到张家界蹦极的对应新闻板块，找到人物原话后和选项逐一匹配即可；
2. 第32题是推断类题目，需要逐个核对每个选项的细节，排除和原文表述矛盾、无中生有的错误选项，筛选出符合逻辑的正确答案；
3. 第33题判断文章出处，先梳理三则新闻的共同属性，排除只覆盖单篇内容的片面选项，选出最匹配的刊物类型。
【解析】
31. 定位到第二则张家界蹦极的新闻，原文明确提到Jonni Deaker表示“the height makes the jump easier”，说明这个高度对蹦极这项运动是有利的：
选项A：原文完全没有提到蹦极吓人、刺激的相关表述，属于无中生有，错误；
选项B：原文没有提及蹦极很危险，不符合内容，错误；
选项C：高度对蹦极有好处，和原文表述含义一致，正确；
选项D：原文说的是高度让蹦极这项运动整体更容易，并非跳跃过程中跳者感觉更轻松，曲解原意，错误。
32. 逐一比对选项排除错误项：
选项A：原文迪拜眼“is able to carry up to 1,750 visitors at a time”，up to是“最多、高达”的含义，并非选项里的at least（至少），表述矛盾，错误；
选项B：原文明确说明摩天轮有48个舱，不是49个，和原文不符，错误；
选项C：新闻提到世界最高蹦极“reopens（重新开放）”，说明它此前就已经面向公众开放过，对人们来说并不陌生，推理成立，正确；
选项D：划线词cucumbers和卷心菜、西葫芦并列，属于种植的蔬菜，并非菜床，错误。
33. 梳理三则新闻的属性：分别是迪拜的新地标摩天轮、中国的蹦极项目重开、泰国闲置出租车改造成种植区，覆盖全球不同国家的新鲜资讯：
选项B《文化活动》、D《极限运动》都只能覆盖部分内容，无法涵盖第三则种蔬菜的新闻；
选项C《国家地理》主打地理相关科普内容，和这几则社会新闻属性不符；
选项A《世界日志》适合收录全球各地的趣味短新闻，是最匹配的出处，正确。
【答案】
31. C 32. C 33. A
【知识点】
细节理解，推理判断，文体常识
【点评】
本题属于新闻类应用文阅读，整体难度适中，重点考察学生快速定位原文信息、甄别干扰选项的能力，易错点集中在31题容易误选D、32题混淆up to和at least的语义差异，做题时要注意严格贴合原文表述，不要主观脑补额外信息。
