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 theUSalone, 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

Question 49: What is the main topic of this passage? A How energy resources are tapped from nature

B The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources C Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide

Question 53: According to the passage, how is solar energy production similar to geothermal energy production?

A They are both conventional and costly B They both use heat from the earth’s surface C They both require fairly simple technology D They both require the use of a generator

Question 54: 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 “global scale” C after the phrase “growing steadily” D after the phrase “geothermal power”

Question 55: According to the passage, which of the following is true about solar power? A It is 6,000 times more powerful than energy from fossil fuels

B There is enough of it to far exceed the energy needs of the world C There is very little of it available inIceland

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

Question 56: What can be inferred about the use of geothermal energy in Iceland? A It is widely used as a 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 57: What does the author imply about alternative energy sources? A Alternative energy is too expensive for developing countries to produce B Many different types of alternative energy sources exist
