Read the following passage and choose A, B, C, and D to answer the following questions ( 5 pts) The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of waste. Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale and coal tars. But today, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being tested. Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only four percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of the temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy. 1. Which is the best title of the passage? A. The Use of Water Productions for Energy B. The Search for Alternative Sources of Energy C. Efficient ways of Disposing of Waste D. New Discoveries in Geothermal Power 2. Fifty years ago. one third of the electricity in the United States was provided by A. wind B. waste products C. water D. oil 3. In the second paragraph, the phrase “synthetic fuels” could best be replaced by which of the following phrases? A. biological fuels B. low burning fuels C. fast burning fuels D. artificial made fuels 4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as an alternative source of energy? A. Burning of garbage B. Geothermal power C. Synthetic fuels D. Electricity 5. According to the author, the impractically of using coal, oil shale and coal tars as sources of energy is due to: A. their being time consuming B. their being money consuming C. their scarcity of sources D. the lack of technology IX. Read the following passage and choose the correct answers (A, B, C, or D). (5 points) Day after day we hear about how anthropogenic development is causing global warming. According to an increasingly vocal minority, however, we should be asking ourselves how much of this is media hype and how much is based on real evidence. It seems, as so often is the case, that it depends on which expert you listen to, or which statistics you study. Yes, it is true that there is a mass of evidence to indicate that the world is getting warmer, with one of the world's leading weather predictors stating that air temperatures have shown an increase of just under half a degree Celsius since the beginning of the twentieth century. And while this may not sound like anything worth losing sleep over the international press would have us believe that the consequences could be devastating. Other experts, however, are of the opinion that what we are seeing is just part of a natural upward and downward swing that has always been part of the cycle of global weather. An analysis of the views of major meteorologists in the United States showed that less than 20% of them believed that any change in temperature over the last hundred years was our
5. own fault-the rest attributed it to natural cyclical changes. There is, of course, no denying that we are still at a very early stage in understanding weather. The effects of such variables as rainfall, cloud formation, the seas and oceans, gases such as methane and ozone, or even solar energy are still not really understood, and therefore the predictions that we make using them cannot always be relied on. Dr. James Hansen, in 1988, was predicting that the likely effects of global warming would be a raising of world temperature which would have disastrous consequences for mankind: "a strong cause and effect relationship between the current climate and human alteration of the atmosphere”. He has now gone on record as stating that using artificial models of climate as a way of predicting change is all but impossible, in fact, he now believes that, rather than getting hotter, our planet is getting greener as a result of the carbon dioxide increase, with the prospect of increasing vegetation in areas which in recent history have been frozen wastelands. In fact, there is some evidence to suggest that as our computer-based weather models have become more sophisticated, the predicted rises in temperature have been cut back. In addition, if we look at the much reported rise in global temperature over the last century, a close analysis reveals that the lion's share of that increase, almost three quarters in total, occurred before man began to 'poison' his world with industrial processes and the accompanying greenhouse gas emissions in the second half of the twentieth century. So should we pay any attention to those stories that scream out at us from billboards and television news headlines, claiming that man, with his inexhaustible dependence on oil-based machinery and ever more sophisticated forms of transport is creating a nightmare level of 'greenhouse gas emissions, poisoning his environment and ripping open the ozone layer? Doubters point to scientific evidence, which can prove that, of all the greenhouse gases, only two percent come from man-made sources, the rest resulting from natural emissions. Who. then, to believe: the environmentalist exhorting us to leave the car at home, to buy re-usable products packaged in recycled paper and to plan! trees in our back yard? Or the sceptics, including, of course, a lot of big businesses who have most to lose, when they tell us that we are making a mountain out of a molehill? And my own opinion? I he jury's still out as far as I am concerned! 1. The author A. believe that man is causing global warming. B. believes that global warming is a natural process. C. is sure w hat the causes of global warming are. D. does not say what he believes the causes of global warming are. 2.

C. often the facts depend on which expert you listen to. D. you should not speak to experts. 3. More than 80% of the top meteorologists in the United States are of the opinion that A. global warming should make us lose sleep. B. global w arming is not the result of natural cyclical changes but man-made. C. the consequences of global warming will be devastating. D. global warming is not man-made, but the result of natural cyclical changes. 4. Our understanding of weather A. leads to reliable predictions. B. is variable. C. cannot be denied. D. is not very developed yet. 5. Currently, Dr James I Jansen's beliefs include the fact that A. it is nearly impossible to predict weather change using artificial models.
