MONTREAL (Reuters)-Crossing the US-Canada border (邊界) to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen $ 10 000 for breaking Washington's strict new security(安全) rules.

　　The expensive trip to church was a sur-prise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-doz-en people of Township 15, crossing the bor-der is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.

　　There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5 530-mile border between Canada and the 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 US after attending church in Cana-da, as usual. The US customs (海關(guān)) station in this area is closed on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, fol-lowing a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally(非法).

　　Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border check-point.

　　Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I'm living in a prison, ”he said.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來源： 題型：閱讀理解

　　In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers（探險(xiǎn)者） landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space？"

　　H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.

　　Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Chunnel", a tunnel（隧道）connecting England and France, is now complete.

　　But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called "Alice Cities." The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome（太陽(yáng)能穹頂）would cover the whole city.

　　Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H. G. Wells’ "moon people" would agree. Would you？

56. The explorers in H. G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the "moon people"____.

　　A. knew so much about the earth

　　B. understood their language

　　C. lived in so many underground cities

　　D. were ahead of them in space technology

57. What does the underlined word "it"（Paragraph 2）refer to？

　　A. Discovering the moon's inner space.

　　B. Using the earth's inner space.

　　C. Meeting the "Moon people" again.

　　D. Traveling to outer space.

58. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?

　　A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.

　　B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.

　　C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.

　　D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.

59. What would be the best title for the text？

　　A. Alice Cities-cities of the future

　　B. Space travel with H. G. Wells

　　C. Enjoy living underground

　　D. Building down, not up
