The official residence of the president of the United States is the White House, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, in Washington, D.C The Commissioners of the
District of Columbia held a meeting in 1792 and decided to hold a contest for the best
design for the Presidential House James Hoban, an architect born in Ireland, was the winner His bid for the construction of the mansion asked for $200,000, but the final cost
Trang 4of the building came to twice that amount The work on the project began during the
same year, and the grounds of approximately one and a half miles west of the Capitol
Hill were chosen by Major Pierre-Charles
L’Enfant, who was in charge of city planning However, the construction continued for several more years, and George Washington had stepped down as president before the building was habitable When John Adams, the second president of the United States and his wife Abigail moved in 1800, only six rooms had been completed
The grey sandstone walls of the house were painted white during construction, and the color of the paint gave the building its name The building was burned on August
24, 1814, and James Hoban reconstructed the house for President James Monroe and his family, who moved there in 1817 The north portico was added to the building in
1829, water pipes were installed in 1833, gas lighting in 1848, and electricity in 1891 In
1948, inspectors announced that the building was so dilapidated that it was beyond
repair and suggested that it was cheaper to construct a new one than repair the existing dwelling However, the national sentiment was to keep the original form intact, and
Congress appropriated $5million dollars for repairs In 1961, Jacqueline Kennedy
launched a pro.4 gram to redecorate the rooms and appointed a Fine Arts Committee to
make choices of furnishing and colors
The house of the president accords its residents a great deal of space The living quarters contain 107 rooms, 40 corridors, and 19 baths The White House contains a doctor’s suite, a dentist’s office, a large solarium, a broadcasting room, and a two-floor basement for storage and service rooms The office in which the president works is not located in the White House, but in a separate building called the West Wing The White House stands on 16 acres of park like land and overlooks a broad lawn, flower gardens, and wood groves

Read the following passage and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each for the questions
In the course of history, human inventions have dramatically increased the average
amount of energy available for use per person Primitive people in cold regions burned
wood and animal dung to heat their caves, cook food, and drive off animals by fire The first step toward the developing of more efficient fuels was taken when people
discovered that they could use vegetable oils and animal fats in lieu of gathered or cut
wood Charcoal gave off a more intensive heat than wood and was more easily
obtainable than organic fats The Greeks first began to use coal for metal smelting in the
4th
century, but it did not come into extensive use until the Industrial Revolution
In the 1700s, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, most energy used in the United States and other nations undergoing industrialization was obtained from
perpetual and renewable sources, such as wood, water streams, domesticated animal labor, and wind These were predominantly locally available supplies By mid-1800s, 91 percent of all commercial energy consumed in the United States and European countries was obtained from wood However, at the beginning of the 20th century, coal became a major energy source and replaced wood in industrializing countries Although in most
regions and climate zones wood was more readily accessible than coal, the latter
represents a more concentrated source of energy In 1910, natural gas and oil firmly replaced coal as the main source of fuel because they are lighter and, therefore, cheaper
to transport They burned more cleanly than coal and polluted less Unlike coal, oil could
be refined to manufacture liquid fuels for vehicles, a very important consideration in the early 1900s, when the automobile arrived on the scene
By 1984, nonrenewable fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, provided over
82 percent of the commercial and industrial energy used in the world Small amounts of energy were derived from nuclear fission, and the remaining 16 percent came from burning direct perpetual and renewable fuels, such as biomass Between 1700 and 1986,
a large number of countries shifted from the use of energy from local sources to a
centralized generation of hydropower and solar energy converted to electricity The energy derived from nonrenewable fossil fuels has been increasingly produced in one location and transported to another, as is the case with most automobile fuels In
countries with private, rather than public transportation, the age of nonrenewable fuels
has created a dependency on a finite resource that will have to be replaced
Question 43: What is the main topic of the passage?
A Applications of various fuels B Natural resources and fossil fuels
C A history of energy use D A historical overview of energy rates Question 44: The phrase “per person” is closest in meaning to

Question 49: According to the passage, what was the greatest advantage of oil as
fuel? A It was a concentrated source of energy
B It was lighter and cheaper than coal
C It replaced wood and coal and reduced pollution
D It could be converted to automobile fuel
Question 50: According to the passage, the sources of fossil fuels will have to be
replaced because
A they need to be transported B they are not efficient
C their use is centralized D their supply is limited
