III READING Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answers.
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 is also being tested Some experts expect 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 to day it supplies only 4 percent The oceans are another potential source of energy Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy
of ocean currents, tides, and waves to electricity Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy
a Choose the best answer A, B, C or D to answer the questions:
1 What provided one third of the electricity in the United States fifty
years ago?
A wind B waste products C water D oil
2 What could best replace the phrase “geothermal power” in the
passage?
A heat from the earth
B gases in the earth's atmosphere
C steam that shot up out of the earth
D water in the ocean, lake, or river

4 According to the author, what is the impracticability of using coal,

A They take a lot of time B They are
expensive

resources
b Decide the following statements are True (T) or False (F)
1 Today, water power provides only five percent of the
electricity used in the United States
2 Experiments are underway to produce electricity by
making use of temperature differences in ocean water
3 Fifty years ago, water power supplied about twenty percent
of the electricity used in the U.S
4 Many people are burning waste products to produce
electricity
