21、题） A After many days of anxious waiting, the Olympic mascots （吉祥物） were finally chosen at eight p.m. on November 11,2005. 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 t
22、he 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
23、 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
24、 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 protec
25、t 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
26、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 bes
27、t 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 a
28、lso 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 w
29、hole world will have a better understanding of the Chinese spirit.” 51. _ represents the sports, such as diving, surfing, swimming and so on. A. JingjingB. NiniC. HuanhuanD. Beibei 52.

37、Pennsylvania C In the 19thcentury 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
38、 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
39、 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 de
40、sert 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 trave
41、lers 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
42、 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 19thcentury,Americans moved from the east to the
43、west because they _. A. enjoy the tripB. 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 _.

44、sert C. the desert is dangerous but it is full of life D. till now, people know little about the desert 61. 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 plane 62. In the desert, animals will die _. A. if they move about B
45、. if they cannot make holes underground C. if they come out at night D. if they drink much water D Li Ao, a famous Taiwan writer, TV commentator, historian and lawmaker, arrived in Beijing on September 19, 2005 for his first visit to the mainland after 56 years. Li, 70, said he was driven not by nos
46、talgia（怀旧）curiosity, insisting the did not come to see the old China he had lived in, but rather “to see the new China”. During his visit, he spoke to students at three top universitiesPeking University, Tsinghua University and Shanghai Fudan University. He also met schoolmates of his former primary
47、 school in Beijing, visited the Palace Museum and participated in TV programs and online chats. Waving his new passport before departing Monday from Taipei, Li said he was eager to make his first trip since his family left the mainland in 1949. After visiting Beijing, he headed to Shanghai, where he
48、 gave a lecture at Fudan University. After that he visited Hong Kong and then returned to Taiwan on September 30. At a conference organized by Hong Kongbased Phoenix Satellite Television, Li said he hoped the trip would promoted（增进）cultural exchanges across the Taiwan Straits. Li was born in the cit
49、y of Harbin in Northeast China and grew up in Beijing. At the age of 14, he moved with his family to Shanghai and from there to Taiwan in 1949. He is well-known by mainland intellectuals（知识分子）for his satire（讽刺文学） ，sharp commentaries and criticism. He is also honored as a loyal supporter of Chinas re
50、unification （重新统一） , and he believes that the sooner reunification comes, the more beneficial（有益）it will be for Taiwan.
