Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following
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.
Question 39. What is the main topic of this passage?
A. The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources.
B. Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized.
C. How energy resources are tapped from nature.
D. Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide.
Question 40. Which of the following words could best replace the word “abundant”?
A. a lot B. scarce C. little D. enough
Question 41. The word “it” in the second paragraph refers to_____________
A. solar energy B. the earth C. sunlight D. energy consumption
Question 42. 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 43. What best describes the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To warn people about the hazards of fossil fuel use.
B. To convince people of the benefits of developing alternative energy sources.
C. To describe the advantages and disadvantages of alternative energy use.
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 following questions from 44 to 50.
Do you like tuna? People in many countries like to eat tuna whether it is canned, cooked, or raw.
Unfortunately, humans are now eating too much tuna, and some species are becoming rare.
The name “tuna” refers to over 48 species of carnivorous fish that live in Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and
Mediterranean oceans. The most important commercial species of tuna are yellowfin, bluefin, bigeye, albacore, and
skipjack. Skipjack makes up the majority of canned tuna, while the other species are served either raw or cooked.
While the fishing of skipjack tuna is currently sustainable, it is widely accepted that the other species have
been severely overfished. In particular, bluefin tuna stocks are now at risk of collapse. From 1976 to 2006, the
population of bluefin decreased by 92%. Overfishing continues despite repeated warnings. In 2009, scientists
recommended that the quota for northern bluefin be set at 7,500 tonnes, but the Atlantic Tuna Commission set it at
16,000 tonnes. Even this limit was ignored, with the total catch of Atlantic bluefin estimated to be 60,000 tonnes in
2009.
The reason for this overfishing is that yellowfin, bluefin, and bigeye tuna are prized for use as sashimi (raw
fish). This makes them very valuable. In 2011, a bluefin tuna weighing 342 kilograms was sold in Tokyo for 32, 49
million yen (US $ 396,000). Recently, the sashimi-tuna species have become so rare, and their price is so high that
many sashimi restaurants have had to close.
In response to decreasing tuna stocks, scientists have been trying to breed tuna in captivity. In 2009, an
Australian company succeeded in breeding southern bluefin tuna in land-based tanks. This is an important
development because tuna farming currently relies on raising juvenile tuna that are caught in the wild. Catching
these juvenile tuna makes overfishing even worse.
Everyone needs to work together to help the wild tuna survive. You can help to save the wild tuna, too. Next
time you have tuna, check to make sure you aren’t eating a wild bluefin, yellowfin or bigeye. Hopefully, if we all
play our part, it won’t be too long before stocks of tuna recover to their former levels.
Question 44: What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Declining tuna stocks and our actions B. Causes of the low population of tuna
C. Various types of tuna D. The reasons why many people like tuna
