It seemed to be covered with 48 thin blue lines, but which 49 line was this stream? 50 , we sat down to rest in the shade and I felt like 51 the map into the water. About fifteen minutes later, a boat came along and I asked the owner of the boat if he could give us a 52 to the nearest town. I 53 that we had been out for a walk and somehow got lost. The owner of the boat invited us aboard and I felt very 54 when he told me that he had helped hundreds of soldiers pass their map-reading test!

第三部分 阅读理解：（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
What’s the furthest you have ever cycled?
Perhaps you cycle to school or to work, or maybe at most a short cycling trip with friends? How would you feel about spending months on the road travelling on your own from the UK to China, by bike?
For the British cyclist Pete Jones, camping in the wild and cycling long distances through inhospitable terrain(无人区) are his second nature.
An experienced explorer through places such as the Tianshan Mountains and the Tibetan Plateau, Mr. Jones is currently taking a great journey across the Eurasian continent from Britain to China.
Having lived on and off(断断续续地) in Xinjiang for three years, and having visited the country many times since 1992, Pete Jones is no stranger to China. But he says many people there are puzzled by his strong love for cycling, asking why he would choose to cycle when he can afford a car. Indeed, while there are about 400 million bicycles in China, where it has long been the preferred means of transport, rapid economic growth has caused a rapid development in car ownership. Edward Genochio, another British cyclist who pleted a 41,000km trip to China and back, said one of his goals was to “tell people cycling is a safe, sustainable and environmentally friendly means of getting about.”
In the UK, the last few years have seen a rise in the number of people choosing two wheels over four, with some estimates saying the number of people cycling to work has almost doubled in the last five years. Politicians also see cycling as a way to prove that they are concerned about the environment, with people such as London mayor Boris Johnson often riding to work under his own steam. But we may have to wait some time before we see him emulating(效仿) Pete Jones in attempting to cycle all the way to China.
56. By saying “second nature”（Paragraph 3）, the author wants to say that ________.
A. Pete Jones has a gift for cycling
B. Pete Jones has a special interest in nature
C. Pete Jones has a different skill in cycling
D. cycling has bee an innate part for Pete Jones
57. Which of the following can replace the underlined words in the last Paragraph?
A. on a steam bicycle
B. without help from anyone else
C. getting rid of his energy
D. giving off steam
58. The purpose for Genochio to travel between the UK and China by bike is ________.
A. the same as Pete Jones
B. to vote for the mayor of London
C. to call for more people to protect the environment
D. to raise money to buy a car
59. According to the passage, what doesn’t help Pete Jones make the great trip?
A. Being unable to afford a car
B. Having visited China many times
C. Having lived in China for some time
D. Being quite experienced in such trip
60. The author is _________ the intention of Boris Johnson’s cycling
A. supportive to B. confident in C. doubtful about D. sympathetic to
B
