III. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D
Hello students! Today I'd like to tell you some information about types and sources of
energy. Energy is classified into two main groups: renewable and non-renewable.
The energy generated from natural sources such as the sun, wind, rain, and tides is called
renewable energy. They are plentiful and can be generated again and again. They also
have low carbon emissions so they are considered green and environment-
friendly. Moreover, using renewable energy can reduce your electricity
bills. Unfortunately, solar energy can be only used during the daytime but not during
night or the rainy season. Geothermal energy also can bring toxic chemicals beneath the
earth's surface to the top and can create environmental changes.
Non-renewable energy is the energy taken from other sources that are available on earth.
They are limited and will run out in the future. They can't be re-generated in a short time.
Fossil fuels - natural gas, oil and coal - are examples of them. They are cheap and easy to
 5

use. However, when burnt, they release toxic gases in the air so they cause serious
environmental changes such as global warming. And the important thing is that non-
renewable sources will expire someday.
76. What are examples of renewable energy?
A. Sun and wind B. Rain and tides
C. Oil and coal D. Both A & B are correct.
77. What are the advantages of renewable energy?
A. They can't be re-generated. B. They emit a small amount of carbon.
C. They can be used all day. D. All are correct.
78. What are the disadvantages of renewable energy?
A. Solar energy can't be used at night or in the rainy season.
B. They help us reduce our electricity bills.
C. Using geothermal energy can cause environmental changes.
D. Both A & C are correct.
79. What does the word “They” in line 11 imply to?
A. Fossil fuels B. Examples.
C. Toxic gases. D. Chemicals.
80. What is the passage about?
A. non-renewable energy. B. renewable energy.
C. types and sources of energy. D. solar energy.
