15、ly C Especially D Even III阅读理解（共 20 题，每小题 3 分，满分 60 分） A Empty Deserts 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 th
16、e 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
17、and appears in movies and in TV. In Arizona, man made dams(大坝 ) across the Colorado River have made two large lakes in the middle of the dry desert country. At Lake Powell, the red stone arch（弓形结构） of Rainbow Bridge rises high above the blue lake. There are few roads. Many areas of Lake Powells shor
18、e 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
19、 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
20、 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 does 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 brillia
21、nt colors. 36.In the 19th century, Americans moved from the east to the west because they _.

If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, or an active person
24、who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are likely to be strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is wha
25、t psychologists tell us. They have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effects that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we dont choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you do so as soon as you open your eyes, or at least as soon a
26、s you could see clearly. Black is depressing while light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one does, and a red dress adds warmth and cheer to sad winter days. It is a fact that factory work
27、ers work better, harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a few colorful things. Also remember that you will know your friends (and your enemies) bet
28、ter when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And dont forget that anyone can guess a lot about you when you choose a piece of handkerchief. 40.

I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me, without them, there would be nothing to say to you to
32、day. So heres what I want to tell you today: Get a life. A real life , not a desire of the next promotion (提升 ), the bigger paycheck, the larger house. Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you .And remember that love is not leisure (休闲 ), it is work. Pick up the
33、phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

34、eally bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all: I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good
35、in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
