二、完形填空 20分（每题1分，共20小题）
A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. 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.
Don’t 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 it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle 49 . It seems to be a negative attitude, 50 a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place.
31. A. least B. worst C. largest D. shortest
32. A. service B. way C. order D. work
33. A. cry B. lie C. wait D. sleep

After many days of anxious waiting, the Olympic mascots（吉祥物）were finally chosen at eight p.m. on November 11,2023. This marks the start of the 1,000-day countdown to the 2023 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 2023. 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.
“I’ve always been confident in the whole process, because I’m 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 China’s 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, I’m a perfect symbol for the spirit of the Olympics——higher, 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. Beibei
52. The underlined word “that” (Para.7) refers to _______.
A. a high altitude B. 70-100 km per hour
C. the oxygen level D. the spirit of the Olympics
53. From the third paragraph we know _________.
A. it took more than one year to select the 2023 Olympic mascots
B. the Chinese dragon should have been the 2023 Olympic mascot
C. Monkey King had been less popular with people before August 2023
D. five mascots chosen from a range of animals surprised many people
54. What does the passage center on?
A. The introduction made to the 2023 Olympic mascots.
B. Teenagers’ opinions released about the 2023 Olympic mascots.
C. The reason why the five are chosen as the 2023 Olympic mascots.
D. The mark of the start of the 1,000-day countdown to the 2023 Beijing, Olympic Games.

In the 19th century Americans from the eastern states moved out west to settle in the rich new lands along the Pacific coast. 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 Powell’s 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 America—925 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.

A. enjoy the trip B. wanted to make their home there
C. wanted to find new grassland there D. had no water to drink
