19、ple think the search for cleaner energy leads only to renewable resources like sun, wind and water. But it also leads to a fossil fuel. Natural gas is considered the cleanest of the fossil fuels, the fuels created by plant and animal remains over millions of years. Burning it releases fewer pollutan

20、ts than oil or coal. The gas is mainly methane(甲烷). It produces half the carbon dioxide of other fossil fuels. So it may help cut the production of carbon gases linked to climate change. Russia is first in what are called "proved reserves" of natural gas. The United States is sixth. Over t

21、he years, big oil and gas companies recovered much of the easily reached supplies of gas in America. They drilled straight down into formations where gas collects. As these supplies were used up, big drillers looked for similar formations in other countries. But now the industry is taking a new look

22、. Companies are developing gas supplies trapped in shale rock two to three thousand meters underground. They drill down to the shale（页岩）, then go sideways and inject high-pressure water, sand or other material into the rock. This causes the rock to break, or fracture, releasing the gas. Huge fields

23、of gas shale are believed to lie under the Appalachian Mountains, Michigan and the south-central states. Gas shale exploration is being done mainly by small to medium sized companies. Eric Potter is a program director in the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin. ERIC POTTE

24、R: "The types of opportunities that are left for natural gas exploration in the U.S. have changed. So it's a different class of resource - not as easy to develop, and not even recognized as something worth pursuing, say, twenty years ago." He says more than half the gas in the United S

25、tates is now coming from these new reserves. But hydraulic fracturing can also produce debate and anger over the risk of groundwater pollution. This method of drilling is not federally supervised under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Some in Congress want to end that exemption（免除）from the law. Natural

26、gas provides Americans with about one-fourth of their energy. And, unlike oil, most of it is produced in America. Gas producers invested heavily in reaching new supplies when prices were high. But prices are down sharply now because the recession（经济衰退）cut demand for energy. So energy expert Eric Pot

27、ter says it is too early to know how the new gas shale reserves will affect the market.36. Which of the following statements is TRUE about fossil fuels? A. Fossil fuels are a kind of renewable resource just like sun, wind and water. B. Burning natural gas releases more pollutants than oil or coal. C

28、. Fossil fuels were created millions of years ago by plant and animal remains. D. Using fossil fuels may help change the climate.37. What does the writer mean by saying “now the industry is taking a new look”? A. The U.S. will be ranked first in natural gas because it has huge fields of gas shale. B

29、. People gain natural gas from shale rock using a method different from the traditional ones. C. Gas shale exploration will bring human beings abundant supply of natural gas. D. There should be no concern over the energy shortage because the industry is developing.38. When did gas producers invest h

30、eavily in finding new supplies of natural gas? A. When peoples demand for energy increased. B. When natural gas provided Americans with about one-fourth their energy. C. When Americans began to look for cleaner energy D. When the economy was in recession.39. Which one is TRUE about gas shale explora

31、tion? A. It is against the Safe Drinking Water Act.B. It was considered not worth doing twenty years ago. C. It will release pollutants to the water.D. It will bring down the price of natural gas.

43、luable start in life. Reading is the basic part of education and a little childs reading ability will influence his school success greatly. Learning difficulties, many of which begin from poor reading skills, can damage a school little childs confidence and affect his future achievement. Young child

44、ren are programmed to learn and they can learn better with encouragement. Ten to twenty minutes of reading a day still leaves plenty of time for play.Many parents are concerned that learning to read is too challenging a task for a pre-school child, but they should also remember that most children le

45、arn to speak by the time they are 3. Learning a language is probably the single most challenging task any individual can undertake, yet children do it without formal instruction, achieving the fluency much better than adult language students.There is a window of opportunity in terms of IQ developmen

46、t, which is most open during a childs early years. A scientific study, carried out by Dr. Peter Huttenlocher at the University of Chicago, showed that the number of connectors, called synapses（神经元突触）, between the nerve endings in a newborn babys brain is similar to the number in the average adult br

47、ain. These synapses increase rapidly during early childhood. By 12-22 months a childs brain has about 50% more synapses than the average adult brain. After that the synapses which are not in use begin to atrophy（衰退）. For most people, from age 16, the number remains steady. It begins to drop again as

48、 we move into our golden years. Doing intellectual activities at a young age, such as learning to read, can stimulate and preserve these connectors in the brain resulting in a long-term beneficial effect on IQ development.Another notable study is probably the Milwaukee project. This study took a gro

49、up of babies, all of whose mothers had low IQs, and gave them special training for seven hours a day, five days a week, until they started first grade. By the age of 6 these children had an average IQ 30 points higher than their contemporaries. The overwhelming conclusion is that the early intellect

50、ual stimulation can have a positive, long-term effect on a little childs brain development.From birth you should talk to and explain things to your baby. Reading to him can be a wonderful way of spending quality time with your child. The enjoyment of books and being familiar with the idea of print w

51、ill pave the way for learning to read later.If your child is a fast learner you can help him realize his potential by introducing him to the joy of the printed word at an early age. This will lay the foundations for both a high achieving school career and a lifelong love of reading. If your child sh

52、ows early signs of reading difficulties, your efforts may help him get rid of such problems before he goes to school.It can be difficult to teach your own child because emotional issues arise easily. Online programs for learning to read English are excellent options. They allow children to repeat ne

53、w materials as many times as they need to, without wearing out the parents patience.43. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Children should be taught to read at an early age.B.
