（A）

I boarded a small plane together with my sister and 42 other passengers. While flying over the mountains, the plane encountered violent airflow. Losing control suddenly, it hit an unknown mountain peak. The impact of the crash claimed the lives of a few passengers immediately, leaving many injured including my sister.

Adding a slight chance of being found out, we waited in the open, as opposed to waiting in the plane, even though it was freezing cold. At night, we slept side by side to keep ourselves warm and melted snow into water. We knew our food couldn’t last us long, sticking to the hope that we would be rescued soon.

We knew from radio that the outside world was trying to look for the missing aircraft. However, the aircraft was white and blended in with the snow, making it impossible to be seen from the sky. Later, our hope was dead when we found out via our radio that the rescue effort ended. Now climbing over the mountains ourselves to search for help seemed to be our only chance of survival. Although the crash site was an awful place, with urine（尿）everywhere and smelling of death, I still wished to stay there. But my sister would give in to her injuries soon if we were not rescued. Thus, together with two other people, Canessa and Vizintin, I decided to walk through the icy wilderness for help. Carrying some food and water, the three climbers started our journey. If we had known anything about climbing, we would have realized that we were already finished. The mountain we were about to challenge was one with slopes so steep that it would scare away a team of expert climbers. Our ignorance provided our only chance. We endured exhaustion and starvation and we had reached the top.

To our horror, we found nothing. Disappointed, we were about to give up hope when I spotted a valley at the base of the mountain and again we started making our way down the mountain. Eventually, at the bottom of the mountain we were helped by a local farmer who called the police for help. I then guided the rescue team via a helicopter to the crash site. Finally, after we had endured nineteen cruel days, the world found out that there were 16 survivors who had cheated death despite the odds.

56. Why did they stay outside the plane?

A. Because they didn’t want to stay with dead people inside. B. Because it’s easier to obtain melted snow for water. C. Because they hoped to be seen by the rescue people.

D. Because other passengers were against staying inside. A. Because he could get help from two experienced climbers. B. Because his sister might die without timely medical help. C. Because the crash site was too terrible for him to stay in. D. Because he would like to be tested by the steep mountain slopes.

A. Rescue people didn’t notice the aircraft because of its color at the beginning. B. The public knew where the plane crashed from the radio. C. The author gave up the climb halfway due to disappointment. D. More than half of the plane passengers were finally rescued.

57. Why did the author leave the crash site despite his wish to stay?

58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

59. The underlined sentence had cheated death despite the odds is closest in meaning to ________.

(B)

A. had told lies about death in spite of reality B. had avoided death in spite of huge difficulties C. had treated death with positive attitude D. had almost died in spite of strange expectation
