答案及解析：

31. 本题考查连词辨析。“But”表示转折关系，意为“但是”;“Or”表示选择关系，意为“或者”;“So”表示因果关系，意为“所以”。前文提到“I am not a brave girl, and even a little mouse scares me.(我不是一个勇敢的女孩，甚至一只小老鼠都会吓到我)”，后文说“I've been crazy about bungee jumping.(我对蹦极很着迷)”，前后形成转折关系，所以用“But”，选A。

32. 本题考查名词辨析。“task”意为“任务”;“sport”意为“运动”;“subject”意为“学科”。蹦极是一种运动，所以这里应该选“sport”，表示“一天，我通过上网在泰国找到了一个进行这项刺激运动的好地方”，选B。

33. 本题考查名词辨析。“magazine”意为“杂志”;“newspaper”意为“报纸”;“website”意为“网站”。根据前文“by surfing the Internet(通过上网)”可知，是在网站上看到的地址，所以选“website”，选C。

34. 本题考查动词辨析。“walked”意为“步行”;“ran”意为“跑”;“drove”意为“开车”。前文提到“a young man jumped out of a car(一个年轻人从车里跳出来)”，说明他们是开车去的蹦极地点，所以用“drove”，选C。

35. 本题考查动词短语辨析。“put out”意为“熄灭;伸出”;“put on”意为“穿上;戴上”;“put off”意为“推迟;拖延”。根据语境“a harness(安全带)”可知，这里是说系上安全带，用“put on”合适，选B。

36. 本题考查名词辨析。“legs”意为“腿”;“ears”意为“耳朵”;“eyes”意为“眼睛”。蹦极时要绑住腿和脚踝以保证安全，所以这里用“legs”，选A。

37. 本题考查动词辨析。“tied”意为“系;绑”;“divided”意为“分开;划分”;“spread”意为“传播;展开”。根据前文“tied my legs and ankles well(把我的腿和脚踝绑好)”可知，这里是说站起来感觉到脚踝被绑在一起，用“tied”，选A。

38. 本题考查形容词辨析。“close”意为“近的”;“far”意为“远的”;“short”意为“短的”。根据语境可知，作者要尽可能向前跳得远，所以用“far”，“as far as I could”表示“尽我所能远”，选B。

39. 本题考查反身代词辨析。“themselves”意为“他们自己”;“himself”意为“他自己”;“myself”意为“我自己”。本句主语是“I”，这里表示“我感觉自己向上，就像乘坐快速电梯一样”，要用反身代词“myself”，选C。

40. 本题考查副词辨析。“sadly”意为“悲伤地”;“angrily”意为“生气地”;“proudly”意为“自豪地”。根据前文“I spread my arms wide, laughing loudly(我张开双臂，大声笑着)”可知，作者此时的心情是自豪的，所以用“proudly”，选C。
