The oil resources which are left will not 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 Britain’s total consumption of energy is domestic—it 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.
小题1:In 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.

小题2:Which 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.
小题3:What does the underlined word “domestic” mean in Paragraph Two?
A.For household use.B.On the road.
C.Slow driving.D.Fast driving.
小题4:What 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.

举一反三
Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.
However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?

Animals Can Sense Natural Disasters
Among the dead in South Asia’ s tsunami(海啸)were many tourists at Sri Lanka’ s national wildlife park at Yala. But very few of the park’s animals — elephants, buffaloes, monkeys and wild cats — appear to have died. There are theories that animals can sense natural disasters and run away to safety.
First, it’s possible that the animals may have heard the quake before the tsunami hit. The underwater burst produced sound waves known as infrasound(次声). Humans can’t hear infrasound, but many animals including dogs, elephants, tigers and pigeons can.
A second early warning sign the animals might have sensed is ground vibration(震动). The great quake would have produced vibrational waves known as Rayleigh waves. These vibrations move through the ground like waves moving on the surface of the ocean but faster. They travel at ten times the speed of sound. The Rayleigh waves would have reached Sri Lanka hours before the water hit. Mammals, birds, insects and spiders can sense Rayleigh waves. So the animals at Yala might have felt the Rayleigh waves and then run to higher ground.
But what about humans? While we can’t hear infrasound, we can feel it, although we don’t necessarily know we’re feeling it. We also experience Rayleigh waves by special sensors in our joints(关节), which exist just for that purpose. Sadly, it seems we don’t pay attention to the information when we get it. Maybe we screen it out because there’s so much going on before our eyes and in our ears.
小题1:Why did few animals at Yala die when the tsunamis that caused a huge number of human deaths hit?
A.Because human beings cannot hear the infrasonic sound.
B.Because the animals were staying at a higher place in the park.
C.Because the animals were able to run much faster than human beings.
D.Because the animals might have picked up the danger signals and ran away.
小题2:Which of the statements about “Rayleigh waves” is true?
A.Rayleigh waves can be felt both by animals and human beings.
B.Rayleigh waves, just like infrasonic sound, can only be felt by animals.
C.Rayleigh waves are vibrational waves that usually cause quakes or tsunamis.
D.Rayleigh waves move on the ocean surface at a speed ten times that of sound waves.
小题3:According to the passage, which of the statement is true?
A.We can’t feel the infrasound so we can’t be informed of the danger.
B.We ignore the information of tsunami’s coming even though we can also get it.
C.We were so busy on our minds that we feel neither infrasound nor Rayleigh waves.
D.We can feel Rayleigh waves and infrasound so we can escape the danger like animals.

Nothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet.  Besides, those who are self-confident can in turn inspire confidence in others: their audience, their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success.
So how can we build a sense of self-confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to success?
First, do what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it. Believe in yourself and believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them.
Second, govern your behavior based on what other people think. What"s more important, be willing to take risks and go the extra miles to achieve better results, in which case mistakes can not be avoided. Don"t hesitate to admit your mistakes, and learn from them. Next, work hard to settle the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices. Building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through. And what"s even better is that the things you"ll do to build self-confidence will also build success -- after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement. No one can take this away from you!
As you sow, so shall you reap. With your perseverance and improvement, you are getting closer to success. At this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments and compliments graciously. "Thanks, I really worked hard on that prospectus. I"m pleased you recognize my efforts. " The congratulations and compliments from others will promote you to gain further success.
Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every, aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it. Self-confidence really can be learned and built on. Besides, whether you"re working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it"s well-worth the effort!
小题1:Those who are truly confident
A.succeed without effort and hard work
B.encourage people around to become confident

If you are thinking of putting your child in a private high school instead of a public one, you should do some research. You will find that most private schools offer some advantages.
One of the most important details of a good high school is small class size. Many public schools might have 30 or even 35 students in each class. However, many private schools limit the size to about 15 to 20 kids per class. This is a good thing because it allows each teacher to offer every student more attention.
Another thing to mention is the interesting classes. For example, while the typical (典型的) high school might only offer Spanish and French as foreign languages, private schools often have several other languages to choose from. This is especially important if your child is actually interested in studying a particular language that is not usually offered. Of course, many colleges also consider the various (各种各样的) classes as a good thing, since they can teach students more different subjects than usual.
Some colleges actually work closely with schools to make sure students are prepared well to get an advanced education. This means that teachers are careful to teach skills that can be used in college. Also, college teachers may be on-hand to talk to students and give them advice. If you think your child could use some help of this kind, which would likely help prepare him or her for college, you should look into schools offering these things.
A simple visit to the website or campus (校园) of a local private high school could give you the answers you are looking for. If you think your child would benefit from and appreciate these advantages, you should start researching. You are sure to find at least one that offers these benefits.
小题1:By writing this text, the author is probably encouraging parents to    .
A.pay attention to their children’s study
B.appreciate the advantages of public schools
C.help their children choose right colleges
D.send their children to private high schools
小题2:In the third paragraph the author stresses the importance of      .
A.teacher’s roleB.different kinds of classes
C.learning foreign languagesD.proper study methods
小题3:According to the text, colleges might like to choose students who    .
A.live close to collegesB.have interest in sports
C.have wide knowledgeD.come from public high schools
