There used to be countless Tibetan antelopes（藏羚羊） in Hoh Xil（可可西里）, Qinghai province. However, back in 1997, the number of Tibetan antelopes was smaller because tens of thousands of them had been killed by some people and they sell their wool to make clothes.These rare Tibetan antelopes should be protected.
Tsering, a soldier who has just left the army, arrived in Hoh Xil in 1997. He had heard about the illegal hunting there, then he made a decision to protect the antelopes there.
The central area of Hoh Xil, where Tibetan antelopes give birth, lies around the Zhuonai Lake and Taiyang Lake. There, the weather can change rapidly .The temperature can go as low as-46C.Even in summer, the temperature during the night is about -17 C. Over the 20 years, Tsering and his team have been on duty there to protect antelopes . 
He says that he has a really deep love for the land and the animals after so many years. Back in late 1990s and early s, when the Tibetan antelope protection center had not been built, the men and the baby antelopes would all live together. "I know how those babies try to stand up and take their first steps, but I have not seen how my two daughters stood up or took their first steps," he says. "One of the most comforting things is that now you can see Tibetan antelopes, Tibetan wild donkeys and Tibetan gazelle walking casually along the Qinghai-Tibet railway line and highway. There are many heavy trucks on the road but the animals are used to the traffic and noise. After 20-years protection they know that most humans won't hurt them.
Thanks to Tsering and his men’s efforts, not a single shot has been heard in Hoh Xil since . And the number of Tibetan antelopes has risen from 20,000 to more than 60,000.
54What does the underlined word “illegal” mean in paragraph 2?
   A. 人为旳        B. 违法旳       C. 残忍旳          D. 病态旳
55. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us  ___________.
A. the temperature in Tibet changes quickly.      B. where Tibetan antelopes give birth.
C. it is very cold in Hoh Xil all year round.       D. it’s difficult to protect the Tibetan antelopes.
56. According to paragraph 4 , which of the following is not true?
A. Tsering has a really deep affection for the land and the animals.
B. Tibetan antelopes were afraid that humans would hurt them 20 years ago.
C. Tsering loves the Tibetan antelopes instead of his daughters.
D. Tsering knows a lot about the Tibetan antelopes.
57. Which is the best title for this passage?

Taylor Walker-Lear，an 11-year-old Australian schoolgirl, was born with cerebral palsy(大脑瘫痪), a disease that affects movement and balance. For her, the Great Wall, one of China's best-known faces, is a magic ladder which carried her closer to her dream.
In March , she climbed the highest mountain in Australia at 2,229 meters above sea level. When her mother asked her what her next goal was, she answered: "Mount Everest might be a little too hard right now, but maybe the Great Wall."

Before she started out, they gave her a red chicken doll to bring her good luck. In the tower, Taylor listened to the guide telling the long history of the Great Wall. Her parents lifted her and encouraged her to keep going. It was obviously painful for her to walk so far along the Great Wall. However, she succeeded.
