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

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 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 there are 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

production?

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions or indicate the correct answer to each of them

Lighthouses are towers with strong lights that help mariners plot their position, inform them that

land is near, and warn them of dangerous rocks and reefs They are placed at prominent points on the

coast and on islands, reefs, and sandbars

Every lighthouse has a distinctive pattern of light known as its characteristic There are five basic

characteristics: fixed, flashing, occulting, group flashing, and group occulting A fixed signal is a steady

beam A flashing signal has periods of darkness longer than periods of light, while an occulting signal’s periods of light are longer A group- flashing light gives off two or more flashes at regular intervals, and a group – occulting signal consists of a fixed light with two or more periods of darkness at regular intervals

Some lighthouses use lights of different colors as well, and today, most lighthouses are also equipped with radio beacons The three types of apparatus used to produce the signals are the catoptric, in which metal is used to reflect the light; the dioptric, in which glass is used; and the catadioptric, in which both glass and metal are used

In the daytime, lighthouses can usually be identified by their structure alone The most typical

structure is a tower tapering at the top, but some, such as the Bastion Lighthouse on the Saint Lawrence

River, are shaped like pyramids, and others, such as the Race Rock light, look like wooden houses sitting

on high platforms Still others, such as The American Shoal lighthouse off the Florida Coast, are skeletal towers of steel Where lighthouses might be confused in daylight, they can be distinguished by day- marker patterns – designed of checks and stripes painted in vivid colors on lighthouse walls

In the past, the job of lighthouse keeper was lonely and difficult if somewhat romantic Lighthouse keepers put in hours of tedious work maintaining the lights Today, lighthouses are almost entirely automated with humans supplying only occasional maintenance Because of improvements in navigational technology, the importance of lighthouses has diminished There are only about 340 functioning lighthouses in existence in the United States today, compared to about 1,500 in 1900, and there are only about 1,400 functioning lighthouses outside the United States Some decommissioned lighthouses have been preserved as historical monument

Question 71: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the functions of

lighthouses?

A To help sailors determine their location

B To warn of danger from rocks and reefs

C To notify sailors that bad weather is approaching

D To indicate that land is near

Question 72: The word “prominent” is closest in meaning to _

A dangerous B conspicuous C picturesque D famous

Question 73: In the context of this passage, the author uses the term “characteristic” to refer to a

_

A period of darkness B person who operates a lighthouse

C pattern painted on a lighthouse D distinctive light signal

Question 74: According to the passage, what kind of signal has long periods of light that are regularly

broken by two or more periods of darkness?

A Flashing B Group occulting C occulting D Group flashing

Question 75: According to the passage, a catoptric apparatus is one that uses _

A lights of various colors B metal

C glass D a radio beacon

Question 76: For which of the following does the author NOT provide a scientific example in the third

paragraph?

A A lighthouse shaped like a pyramid B A lighthouse made of steel

C A lighthouse with day-marker patterns D A lighthouse that resembles a house on a platform

Question 77: The word “tapering” is closest in meaning to which of the following?

A Soaring B Narrowing C Opening D Rotating

C there are not many lighthouses

D there are a number of lighthouses with similar structures

Question 79: The author implies that, compared to those of the past, contemporary lighthouses

A employ more powerful lights B require less maintenance

C are more difficult to operate D are more romantic

Question 80: There is information in the fourth paragraph to support which of these statements?

A There are more lighthouses in the United States now than there were in 1900

B There are more lighthouses in the United States today than in any other single country

C There are more functioning lighthouses in the United States today than there are lighthouses
