三、完形填空：請閱讀下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后從36~55各題所給的四個選項（A、B、C或D）中，選出最佳選項。

A friend of mine met with an accident 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（用盡的）battery. Nothing could be done but  38 in the cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke and then the 39 of the rescue team.

It is almost 40 that he could stand the horror 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 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.

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 not far away.w

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（消極的）attitude, 54 a person who can do so must have foresight as well as a great 55 in the first place.
