Read the passage and then decide which word (A, B, C or D) best fits each space.

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 wastes.

Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale and coal tars. But to date 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 are trying 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 into electricity. Experiments are also underway to

make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.

A) The Use of Water Products for Energy

A combination of water, salt, air pollution, sun, sand, and wind is destroying the huge statue just outside

Cairo. This five-thousand-year-old statue, which has the body of a lion and the face of a human being, is too

badly damaged to be completely saved. First, there is not a good drainage system around the statue and too

much water has been running into the stone statue for several years. As a result, tiny pieces of salt have been

left on the stone and have damaged it. Second, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is

also destroying the ancient statue. The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is damaging the statue even

faster. Third, the statue is being destroyed by extremes of temperature. The air is very cold at night, but

during the day the stone of the statue becomes very hot under the strong sunlight. Other natural forces such

as severe sandstorms attack the statue as well. Finally, the tourists who visit the statue every day also cause a

The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American ideal than

an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we

had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among

different American groups.

The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one-third of all current American families fit

the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none

still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are

single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total,

consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually

divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal.

Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the

traditional one.

46) With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?

A) The traditional American family

B) The nuclear family

C) The current American family



D) The ideal family

47) The author implies that …………………

A) there have always been a wide variety of family arrangements in the United States.

B) racial, ethnic, and religious groups have preserved the traditional family structure.

C) the ideal American family is the best structure.

D) fewer married couples are having children.

48) The word “current” could best be replaced by which of the following?

A) typical B) present

C) perfect D) traditional

49) According to the passage, married couples whose children have grown or who have no children

represent.

A) 100 / 3 percent of households

B) 20 percent of households

C) 7 percent of households

D) 3 percent of households

50) Who generally constitutes a one-person household?

A) A single man in his twenties

C) A single woman in her late sixties

D) A divorced woman

Many years ago, people often said, “A woman’s place is in the home” But Americans do not feel that way any

more. Today, women make up about 43 percent of the American labour force. There are about 45 million

working women in the United States, and a large number of them are married with children.

In 1980 for the first time in the nation’s history, there were more working wives than household wives.

Looking back to 1940, we can see a picture of some very rapid change. In 1940, only 15 percent of married

women held jobs. Today most young women choose to work even when they have young children. Why do

they work? The most important reason is that they need to earn money. But another reason is that women to

day are better educated and they have more opportunities to work in various professions than women had

earlier.

A new study says increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may affect the growth of forests near

the equator. They found that trees in many tropical forests seem to be growing and dying at a faster rate than in

the past, and the increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are responsible. Many plants grow

faster when they receive extra carbon dioxide and trees that grow faster also die sooner than they would

normally.

Carbon dioxide is produced by factories and motor vehicles. The gas rises into the atmosphere and traps the

sun’s heat. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they change sunlight to energy. When trees

die, however, they put carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.

The report says that the dead trees in the tropical forests may then be replaced by trees and plants that grow

fast in the sun. But because the new trees grow faster than those they replace, they are less dense. So they

remove less carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The report also warns that fast growing plants could prevent the growing of other kinds of plants that usually

grow in areas of low sunlight, which increases the loss of different kinds of plants and animals in the tropical

rain forests.

46) What is the main idea of the reading passage?

A) The increased level of carbon dioxide causes changes in the growth of trees in rain forests.

B) The death of large trees affects the level of carbon dioxide in the tropical forests.

C) Trees grow faster when they receive extra carbon dioxide.

D) Fast growing plants could prevent the growing of other kinds of plants

47) What will happen to trees that grow fast?

A) They will absorb less carbon dioxide than those growing slowly.

B) They will die sooner than they would normally.



C) They will create fewer problems than slowly-growing trees.

D) They will put more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

48) How do trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?

A) By putting back carbon dioxide into the air.

B) By dying slowly.

C) By changing sunlight to energy

D) By growing faster

49) Which of the following DO NOT produce carbon dioxide?

A) Factories

B) The sunlight

C) Automobiles

D) Motor vehicles

50) Why do fast-growing trees remove less carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than slowly-growing

ones?

A) Because they die sooner.

B) Because they grow faster.

C) Because they grow in much less density.

D) Because they do not let other kinds of plants grow with them.

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 wastes.

Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale and coal tars. But to date

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 are trying 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 into electricity. Experiments are

also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.
