Jill's very first thought was not to tell (3) - about what she had found She would memorize all the answers and do extremely well in the test After some hard (4) -, however, she knew that it would be a very (5) - thing to do Besides, it would not be fair to her classmates In the end, Jill returned the paper to her History teacher, Miss James

"Thanks, Jill I have been looking high and low (6) - it," said the teacher

"I I've read all the questions already, Miss James," Jill confessed

Miss James told her (7) - as she would think of new questions for the test Jill's heart sank She was half hoping that the test would be cancelled (8) -, she did her best in the new test later that day A few days later, the test papers (9) - returned to the class To her pleasant surprise, Jill discovered that she had scored eighty marks

"You know something," she told her friends "I could easily have scored full marks if I (10) - on this test But I wouldn't be as pleased as I am now with the eighty marks I obtained."

Exercise 8: 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 questions below.

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

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 is 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 is in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity where 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 1: What is the main topic of this passage?

A The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources.

B How energy resources are tapped from nature.

C Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized.

D Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide.

Question 2: According to the passage, why should we consider using alternative energy sources?

A Because fossil fuels are no longer available.

B Because global warming has increased the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth.

C Because they are free and available worldwide.

D Because conventional energy resources are being depleted, and they cause environmental damage Question 3: Which of the following words could best replace the word “harnessing”?

A Capturing B Harassing C Depleting D Exporting

Question 4: The word “it”in the passage 1 refers to ………

A geothermal power B solar power C sunlight D abundant

Question 5: 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 6: According to the passage, which of the following is true about solar power?

A There is very little of it available in Iceland.

B It is being used in 100, 000 private homes worldwide.

C It is 6,000 times more powerful than energy from fossil fuels.

D There is enough of it to far exceed the energy needs of the world.

Question 8: What can be inferred about the use of geothermal energy in Iceland?

A It is widely used 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.
