What was the 31 was that he found himself unable to ask for help his mobile phone went out of 32 as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but 33 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 34 of the rescue.It is almost 35 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 36 : “First of all I checked up my 37 conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no 38 to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 39 . In this way I dozed off.”His story put an end to my regret for the 40 of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men 41 to explore a mountain cave and got lost. 42 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 43 . Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the 44 people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 45 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 46 themselves, they would probably sense a faint light shining not far away.Dont you think that you can compare it with 47 itself? When you meet with obstacles (障碍) in life and work, you are lost in darkness. 48 you its unclear yet and you neednt put up struggle 49 .

This marks the start of the 1,000-day countdown to the 2008 Beijing, Olympic Games.The Olympic mascots are the Olympic flame, the fish, the panda, the Tibetan antelope(羚羊)and the swallow(燕子). They are designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends.Beijing officially started to select the mascots in August 2004. A range of animals and cartoon figures participated in the fierce competition. The lucky five won over other candidates such as the Chinese dragon and the Monkey King, which had been favorites along the way.“Ive always been confident in the whole process, because Im the most precious animal in China. That means I got lots of votes,” said the panda, when Teens interviewed him.He was right. Although some people said he should not have been chosen because he was the mascot of the 1990 Asian Games, he won the support of the majority. Named “Jingjing”, he was chosen because he makes children smile and brings the blessing of happiness wherever he goes. He was chosen to show Chinas desire to protect nature.Unlike the well-known panda, the Tibetan antelope is considered much more sporty than other chosen animals.“I can run 70-100 km pre hour at a high altitude where the oxygen level is just half that of the plains. So you see, Im a perfect symbol for the spirit of the Olympicshigher, faster and stronger,” claimed the “athlete”, whose name is “Yingying”.The fish, “Beibei” stands for prosperity. She will represent water sports. “Nini”, the swallow, stands for good luck and desire for a better life. She will represent gymnastics. The Olympic flame, “Huanhuan”, shows enthusiasm(热情)and best wishes for the Olympics. He will represent ball games.Many teenagers are surprised that Beijing will have five mascots but very excited that they will have more choice when shopping for souvenirs(纪念品).“Stickers(贴画)with pandas and Tibetan antelopes on them will be popular among girls. They will also raise teenagers awareness(意识)of animal protection,” said Jiang Juan, a Esnior 2 girl from Hunan Province.However, Zhang Zhang, 17, from Shanxi Taiyuan No.5 High School is hoping for more: “I hope there will be a cartoon in which the five are the main characters, doing different sports. So the whole world will have a better understanding of the Chinese spirit.”51. _ represents the sports, such as diving, surfing, swimming and so on.A. Jingjing B. Nini C. Huanhuan D. Beibei52. The underlined word “that” (Para.7) refers to _.A. a high altitude B. 70-100 km per hourC. the oxygen level D. the spirit of the Olympics53.

The most difficult part of their trip was crossing the Great American Desert in the western part of the United States by horse and wagon. The western desert can be very dangerous. There is little water and there are few trees. But the desert also has scenery of great beauty. Tall towers of red and yellow stone rise sharply from the flat sandy valley floor. The scene has been photographed many times and appears in movies and on TV. In Arizona, man made dams across the Colorado River have made two large lakes in the middle of the dry desert country. At Lake Powell, the red stone arch of Rainbow Bridge rises high above the blue lake. There are few roads. Many areas of Lake Powells shore can only be reached by boat or on foot. But hikers in this empty desert land sometimes find very old native American pictures, painted on the rocks. In Death Valley, California, the summer temperature rises to 130 degrees. There is less than two inches of rain each year. Death Valley is the lowest place in America925 meters below sea level. In the 1800s, many travelers died when they tried to cross this waterless valley in the terrible heat. Although the desert is dry and seems empty, there is plenty of life if you look closely. Small insects, snakes and rats have learned how to live in the desert heat. They live under ground and come out at night, when it is cool. Plants such as cacti need very little water. When it dose rain in the desert (sometimes only once or twice a year), plants grow quickly, and flowers open in a single day. For a short time, the desert is covered with brilliant colors.59 In the 19th century, Americans moved from the east to the west because they _. A. enjoy the trip B. wanted to make their home there C. wanted to find new grassland thereD. had no water to drink 60. From the passage, we can conclude that _. A. the western desert is a good place for people to live in B. there is little water but there are many trees in the desert C. the desert is dangerous but it is full of life D. till now, people know little about the desert61. If you want to find some old native American pictures painted on the rock you must go _. A. on footB. by boatC. by carD. by plane62. In the desert, animals will die _. A. if they move about B. if they cannot make holes underground C. if they come out at night D. if they drink much water
