第二节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

My friend Tom came across an accident when driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was 36 was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of 37 as a result of exhausted（用尽的）battery. Nothing could be done but 38 in the cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke(亮了) and then the 39 of the rescue team.

It is almost 40 that he could stand the horror(恐怖) in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 41: “First of all I checked my 42 conditions and found myself not in danger. As there was no 43 to call for help, I leaned（斜靠）back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 44. In this way I dozed（打盹）off.”

His story put an end to my regret for the 45 of an exploration that happened last year. A group of young men 46 to explore a mountain cave and got lost. 47 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 48. Finally, they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the 49 team that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 50 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 51 themselves, they would probably have sensed a faint light glowing(发出) not far away.

Don’t you think that you can compare it with 52 itself? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are lost in darkness. Focus that it’s unclear to you yet and you needn’t put up struggle 53. It seems to be a negative（消极的）attitude, 54 a person who can do so must have foresight（预见）as well as a great 55 in the first place.

36.A.hopeless B.worse C.more D.best

37.A.service B.way C.control D.work

38.A.cry B.lie C.wait D.sleep

39.A.delay B.success C.team D.arrival

41.A.plan B.decision C.explanation D.excuse

42.A.physical B.mental C.working D.medical

43.A.method B.way C.tools D.strength

44.A.rotting(腐烂) B.spreading C.bleeding D.running

45.A.loss B.failure C.disappointment D.sadnes

46.A.had B.managed C.tried D.planned

47.A.Willing B.Unable C.Determined D.Deciding

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A

Long time ago, a woman had two pots (罐), one on each end of a pole (扁担). She carried the pole with the pots across her neck.

One of the pots had a crack (裂缝) in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered (递送) a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full.

For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection.

One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman by the well: “I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”

The old woman smiled: “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them.”

“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate (装饰) the table. Without you being just the way you are, I would not have this beauty.”

Each of us has our own cracks. But it’s these cracks that make our lives together so interesting and meaningful.

A. Ashamed. B. Happy. C. Excited. D. Proud.

57. Where were the flowers growing?

A. On both sides of the path. B. In the woman’s house.

C. On the perfect pot’s side. D. On the cracked pot’s side.

① The woman picked the flowers and decorated the table.

② The woman told the truth to the cracked pot.

③ The cracked pot talked to the woman about its crack.

④ The woman found a crack on one pot.

⑤ The woman planted some flower seeds.

A. ④⑤①③② B. ⑤④③②① C. ④③①②⑤ D. ④⑤③①②

59. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?

A. Never laugh at old women. B. Try your best to be perfect in life.

C
