A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the 26 was he found himself unable to ask for help — his mobile phone went out of 27 as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to 28 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that the day broke, and then the 29 of the rescue.
It is almost 30 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 31 : "First of all I checked up my 32 conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no 33_ to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from _34 . In this way I dozed（打盹）off."

Googlefight is a simple service available on the Internet which offers you the chance to
compare two different items and see how many hits (点击) they get on the Google search engine. This seemingly simple device has proved invaluable to users, especially to help win arguments.
For example, imagine that you and your friends are arguing about who are the most popular music or movie stars, you can decide the argument by writing the names in the Googlefight boxes. Let’s say that you are arguing about Jackie Chan and Jet Li. You will quickly discover that Jet Li is mentioned 16 million times on Google pages, whereas Jackie Chan is mentioned a mere 12 million times! In this unscientific way, you can claim victory for one star over another.
But teachers have come up with ways of using Googlefight which are much more useful from an academic point of view, particularly when it comes to studying languages. You can, for example. find out the frequency of two words with the same meaning, and deduce(推断) from the answers which one is more common. For example, let’s take the words “buy” and “purchase”, which mean the same thing（although “buy” is only a verb and “purchase” is both a verb and a noun）. It is immediately clear from Googlefig ht that “buy” is much more commonly used, with a massive three and a half billion hits, compared to only one billion occurrences for the more formal word.
But the real value of Googlefight to the language learner is in determining which is the more common of two phrases. For example, “raining cats and dogs” is an old-fashioned English expression about the weather. Do English speakers still use it? Or are they more likely to say “pouring down”? Googlefight suggests the latter. “Pouring down” has 898,000 Goog le hits, whereas “raining cats and dogs” only has 326,000.
With phrases, it's important to remember that you need to use quote marks to make the search more accurate. For example, if you type in the similar phrases “look after” and “take care of'” without quote marks, the second phrase seems to be more common, but with quote marks, the result is reversed(相反的).
51. What is Googlefight?
A. A fight between two people on Google.
B. A way to make sure you win an argument.
C. A website showing how many hits two different things have.
D. A list of all the websites on Google.
52. If you want to know which star has more website hits, you .
A. can write their names in two boxes C. have 16 million chances to win
B. can decide if it’s Jackie Chan or Jet Li D. have to claim victory in the argument
53. Language teachers find it useful because .
A. there are a lot of words on Google sites
B. it can tell them which of two words appears more often
C. some words mean the same thing
D. common words have a billion hits
54. What must you remember to do if you are checking phrases by Googlefight?
A. Make sure they mean the same thing.
B. Make sure they are different.
C. Remember to put quote marks round the phrase
D. Don’t put quote marks round the phrase.
55. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Googlefight is effective to determine the more common of two phrases.
B. Googlefight is a scientific way to decide an argument.
C. Quote marks can make the search more accurate.
D. Googlefight is invaluable to help win arguments.
第二节:根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分。

(请把答案填在答题纸的横线上)
In so many ways, cyberspace mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. 56 Still others look for friendship, or even love.
Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity(身份)and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. 57 So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. 58
But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. 59 Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. 60 Others fail miserably.
A. Rather, a person’s thoughts—or at least the thoughts they type—are what really count.
B. Others buy and sell products.
C. They’re looking for serious love relationships.
D. But cyberspace is different from the real world in some aspects.
E. Some of these relationships actually succeed.
F. Where else can so many people come together to chat?
G. Chatting online isn’t always reliable.
