In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a

greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources Fortunately, there are a number of readily available,

renewable resources that are both cost- effective and earth – friendly Two such resources are solar power and geothermal power

Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the needs of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity In the US alone, more than 100, 000 homes are equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles And in other parts of the world, including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily

Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth Hot water and steam that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which is produces electricity Geothermal energy is 50, 000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel resources And as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple A prime example of effective geothermal use in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity where over 80 percent of private homes are heated by geothermal power

Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional energy sources The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on global scale

Question 40 What is the main topic of this passage ?

A The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources

B How energy resources are tapped from nature

C Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized

D Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide

Question 41 According to the passage, why should we consider using alternative energy sources ?

A Because fossil fuels are no longer available

B Because global warming has increased the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth

C Because they are free and available worldwide

D Because conventional energy resources are being depleted, and they cause environmental damage

Question 42 Which of the following words could best replace the word “ harnessing”

A Capturing B Harassing C Depleting D Exporting

Question 43 According to the passage, what can be inferred about solar roof tiles?

A They are being used in many undeveloped countries

B They can convert geothermal energy to electricity

C They are more expensive than solar panels

D They contain photovoltaic cells

Question 44 According to the passage, how is solar energy production similar to geothermal energy

production ?

A They both require the use of a generator

B They both use heat from the earth’s surface

C They both require fairly simple technology

D They are both conventional and costly

Question 45 Where is the best place in the passage to insert the following sentence:

“ Although the US is not utilizing geothermal resources to this extent, the Western US has a similar capacity to generate geothermal power”

A after the phrase ” earth-friendly”

B after the phrase “ growing steadily”

C after the phrase “ by geothermal power”

D after the phrase “ global scale”

Question 46 According to the passage, which of the following is true about solar power ?

A There is very little of it available in Iceland

B It is being used in 100, 000 private homes worldwide

C It is 6,000 times more powerful than energy from fossil fuels

D There is enough of it to far exceed the energy needs of the world

Question 47 What can be inferred about the use of geothermal energy in Iceland?

A It is widely used form of energy for heating homes

B Twenty percent of the geothermal energy created is used to heat businesses

C It is not effective for use in private homes

D It is 80 times more effective than traditional forms of energy

Question 48 What does the author imply about alternative energy sources ?

A Many different types of alternative energy sources exist

B Most alternative energy sources are too impractical for private use

C Alternative energy is too expensive for developing countries to produce

D Solar and geothermal energy are the effective forms of alternative power

Question 49 What best describes the author’s purpose in writing the passage ?

A To warn people about the hazards of fossil fuel use

B To describe the advantages and disadvantages of alternative energy use

C To convince people of the benefits of developing alternative energy sources

D To outline the problems and solutions connected with global warming

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 50 to59.

Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit by being flat and hugging the contours There are two very

different types of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways The skates and rays, relatives of the sharks, have become flat in what might be called the obvious way Their bodies have grown out sideways to form great “wings” They look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical and “ the

right way up” Conversely, fish such as plaice, sole, and halibut have become flat in a different way There are

bony fish which have a marked tendency to be flattened in a vertical direction; they are much “ taller” than they

are wide They use their whole, vertically flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate through the

water as they move Therefore, when their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side than on their

bellies- However, this raises the problem that one eye was always looking down into the sand and was

effectively useless – In evolution this problem was solved by the lower eye “ moving” around the other side

We see this process of moving around enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish It starts life swimming near the surface, and is symmetrical and vertically flattened , but then the skull starts to grow in a strange asymmetrical twisted fashion, so that one eye, for instance the left, moves over the top of the head upwards, an old Picasso- like vision Incidentally, some species of 20 flatfish settle on the right side, others on the left, and others on either side

Question 50 The passage is mainly concerned with:

A symmetrical flatfish B bony flatfish

C evolution of flatfish D different types of flatfish

Question 51 The phrase “ hugging the contours” in the line 1 means:

A swimming close to the seabed

B hiding in the sand at the bottom of the sea

C Floating just below the surface

D Lying still on the sea bottom

Question 52 In lines2 5, the author mentions skates and rays as examples of fish that:

A become asymmetrical B appear to fly

C have spread horizontally D resemble sharks

Question 53 It can be inferred from the passage that horizontal symmetrical fish:

A have one eye each side of the head

B have one eye underneath the head

C have two eyes on top of the head

D have eyes that move around the head

Question 54 The word “conversely” in line 5 is closest in meaning to:

A Similarly B Alternatively C Inversely D Contrarily

Question 55 According to the passage, fish such as plaice:

A have difficulties in swimming B live near the surface

C have poor eyesight D have distorted heads

Question 56 The word “ undulate” in line 9 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

Question 57 In line 10, the word “ this” refers to

A the migration of the ancestors

B the practice of lying on one side

C the problem of the one eye looking downwards

D the difficulty of the only one eye being useful

Question 58 According to the passage, the ability of a bony flatfish to move its eyes around is:

Question 59 It can be inferred from the passage that the early life of a flatfish is:

A often confusing B pretty normal C very difficult D full of danger.
