解析：

(1)	silly在此和前文及第四段第二句中的stupid相呼應，表示“愚蠢的”。
(2)	as引導定語從句，不用which，因as is known(to all), as everybody can see之類的定語從句已成為固定搭配，as有“正如”之意。
(3)	從下文中多個國家和人數上可以看出應用popular，表示“流行”。
(4)	dive表示“向下猛沖，俯沖”。
(5)	saved表示蹦極的人只通過一根繩子來系著他們的“安危”。含“被拯救”之意。
(6)	hitting在這里表示“撞擊”。
(7)	started up表示“起源”，開創，強調“開始”。
(8)	下文謂語動詞用的是現在完成時，只有since then適合作它的時間狀語。
(9)	happen表示“一次次的發生”，而appear只表示首次“露面，出現”。
(10)	although引導讓步狀語從句，整個句子意思是“雖然在一些國家被禁止，但在美國和其他一些國家還是流行起來了”。
(11)	前后對比，前面流行，而這里表示被禁止。
(12)	at在這里相當于at the speed of，“以……的速度”。
(13)	break這里指蹦極線斷開。
(14)	從上下文看，這里是表示樂觀興奮的感嘆，只有great適合。
(15)	由上文的first, then，推斷這里應用last，意為“最近的一次”。
(16)	從本文來看，蹦極已成為一項運動，而不是一般的活動。
(17)	damage在這里表示“傷害”，相當于hurt。
(18)	從下文but的轉折來看，應填nobody。
(19)	chances在這里表示“可能性”，死亡的幾率。而不能用adventure“冒險，奇遇”。
(20)	properly意為“適當”，包含的意思較全面。
