last very long. this means that all vehicles such as cars, trains, buses, planes and ships that need oil to work will not be able to run. so it will be necessary to develop a new system of transport which uses a fuel more than oil. electric vehicles are one possibility. in britain, most families have at least one car and this car is used every day. it could be that only one person in the family drives the car to work or for shopping. the number of cars on the road which are almost empty perhaps helps to explain why the oil is used up so quickly. the family car is a very useful form of transport but it is also a great waste of energy, especially if it is compared with buses or trains. much petrol is used by a car which is traveling at 120 kilometers an hour. clearly, it would be better if there were fewer cars on the road and more speed limits so that the oil which is left will last as long as possible.about 25% of britains total consumption of energy is domesticit is used only in the home. just over 20% is used for transport. most of the energy is used in industry. it is difficult to suggest any possible energy conservation in industry because many of the suggestions would mean that some people would lose their jobs. it is important that industry produces the same amount of products using the same amount of workers.obviously, conservation is not going to be the answer to the energy crisis（危机）. the most it can do is to give more time for a better solution to be found. the more time which is available for new sources of energy to be developed, the better it is because there is still a lot of work to be done in order to find suitable, safe methods of producing energy.56in britain, what reason could help to explain why oil is used up very quickly?a. people use cars every day. b. most families have at least one car.c. many cars on the road are almost empty. d. electric vehicles are used.57which of the following is true?a. compared with buses and trains, the family car is useful and can save energy.b. a car driving at the speed of 80 kilometers per hour uses half as much petrol as a car traveling at 160 kilometers per hour.c. it is possible for people to develop vehicles.d. limitation of the number of cars on the road and their speed will help the oil last longer.58what does the underlined word “domestic” mean in paragraph two?a. for household use. b. on the road. c. slow driving. d. fast driving.59what is a better way to solve the problem of the energy crisis?a. governments should cut down the number of family cars on the road.b. the speed of vehicles must be limited.c. new sources of energy should be found and developed.d. factories should cut down on production. beventslong march exhibit the shanghai history museum is putting on an exhibition to mark the 60th anniversary of the long march. on show are more than 220 photos and 40 items that explain with pictures how the communist red army drew back from its besieged (被围困的) bases

influence their success in school, and children with fewer friends are more likely dropping out of school, becoming sad and other problems. making and keeping friends is more than childs play when 6-year-old rachel returned to school on a recent monday morning, her eyes immediately scanned the playground for her friend abbie. though they were only separated by a weekend, the girls ran right into each others arms and hugged, recalls rachels mother kathryn willis of gilbert. it was like a scene from a movie. most parents instinctively (本能地) know that having friends is good for their child. experts agree that friendship is not simply childs play, but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life. a skill for life childhood friendships serve as a very important training ground for adulthood, says dr. robbie adler-tapia, psychologist with the center for childrens health & life development. researcher william hartup states, peer relations contribute significantly to both social and cognitive (认知的) development. hartup concludes that the single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior, but rather, how well a child gets along with other children. the work of arizona state university proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids, so is the lack of friends detrimental.good friendships dont just happen experts agree that it is basic for children to develop high-quality friendships. but, researchers warn, these friendships dont necessarily just happen. often, a good friendship begins with involved （卷入，牵连）parents. valley psychologist dr. lynne kenney markan believes kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading.bad company many parents worry about the quality as well as the quantity of their childs friendships. when she was in 1st grade, her supposed best friend began calling her names and threatening to hurt her, says mindy miller. my daughter wasnt allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class. it really crushed (压跨) her spirit. i told my daughter she didnt need a friend like that. ill bend over backwards to help my son get together with a friend i think is good for him, adler-tapia says. i dont look at it as manipulation (操纵), just positive parental involvement. 64the example of rachel and abbie is used to show that _.a. childhood friendship is of great benefit to their growth b. a positive friendship helps children solve emotional and physical problems c. it is a proven（被证明的） fact that peer friendship is the most rewarding experience throughout life d. rachel missed her friend abbie very much because of their separation of one weekend 65the underlined word detrimental could be replaced by _.a. valuable b. disappointing c. accurate d. harmful 66we can learn from the passage that high-quality friendship most probably results from _.a. social skills and good study habits b. school grades and classroom behaviors c. academic success and social adaptation d. positive parental involvement and social skills 67from the last paragraph we can conclude that dr. robbie adler-tapia agrees that _.a. parents should regard making friends as something that just happens b. its wise for parents to support and encourage healthy peer relationships c. parents only need to help their children to deal with difficult social situations d. parents are supposed to encourage their children to make as many friends as they can dmontreal(reuters)-crossing the us-canada border(边界) to go to church on a sunday cost a us citizen $10,000 for breaking washingtons strict new security(安全)rules. the expensive trip to church was a surprise for richard albert, who lives right on the canadian border. like the other half-dozen people of township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for albert. the nearby quebec village of st. pamphile is where they stop, eat and go to church.there are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between canada and us-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.as a result, albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the u
