East Somalia’s prolonged the shortage of rain, which has already caused food supply to fail and brought unemployment in farming areas, could also affect the production of electricity, and thus reduce the output from the nation’s mines. The mining industry, and especially copper mining, uses a huge amount of electricity and is almost completely dependent on the government Electricity Supply Commission. But the Commission has recently asked the mines what would happen if electricity supplies were reduced by ten, twenty or thirty percent. The Commission’s power stations which reduce the electricity using coal as fuel, are mostly situated near the large coalfields of Eastern Province. But this area has little water so the cooling towers at the power stations have to be supplied with water from elsewhere. The problem now is that water levels in all rivers and lakes have fallen dangerously low and, in some cases, are well below the intake pipes which feed into the pipelines which supply the cooling towers. In a separate attempt to solve the problem, engineers are spending some forty million dollars on building a series of small dams across the Haro river. It is hoped that these dams will make the water level at the Malawa Dam rise so that water can then be pumped through a new pipeline to the power stations. This will take time and it is now the dry season. Very little rain falls before October or November, and after a shortage which has lasted for four years and is believed to be the worst in two centuries, nobody can say whether the rain will be sufficient. The amount of electricity and water used by the mines has tended to increase in recent years. The mines which produce about half the country’s export earnings, need electricity in order to pump fresh air through their workings and to drive machines which crush vast quantities of rock. Each mine also has to provide accommodation for as many as three thousands workers. 36. How might East Somalia’s lack of rain affect electricity supplies and mining? A. Electricity supplies to mines may be cut by up to thirty percent. B. Copper mines may be unable to pump water by October. C. Copper mines are having to use less electricity D. Coal supplies are failing to reach power stations 37. Where does Electricity Supply Commission produce most of its electricity? A. At the Malawa Dam C. In Eastern Province B. Along the Haro River D. Near the copper mines 38. The action that the engineers are taking . A. should get enough water to the mines B. may not help if the rain is sufficient C. will use up a lot of electricity D. will become effective towards the end of the year 39. The engineers aim to . A. get more water into the Haro river C. dig out artificial lakes near the dam B. change the direction of the Haro river D. keep more water at the Malawa Dam 40. Why are the copper mines important to East Somlia? A. Their costs and production are rising. B. They bring in fifty percent of what the country earns. C. They train many skilled mechanics. D. Each mine employs approximately 3,000 people. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. II . Cho os e t he be st an sw er fr om A, B, C or D to f ill i n t he ga ps i n t h e f o ll o w i n g p a ss a g e .
