Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best  answer to each of the following questions from 9 to 18.  FUTURE ENERGY - WHERE WILL WE GET OUR ENERGY?  We are going to have a big energy problem in the future. [I] Today, the world uses 320 billion  kilowatt- hours of energy a day. [II] So, how will we get the energy in the future? [III] Today, we get a lot  of energy from fossil fuels: coal, oil, and natural gas. But fossil fuels are dirty, and they will not last  forever. In the long term, we will have to find alternatives. [IV] We will need renewable energy.  Solar Power  Near Leipzig in Germany, there is a field with 33,500 solar panels. It produces enough energy for  1,800 homes. That’s a lot of energy! However, there are problems. One problem is that solar energy systems cost a fortune to install, but the price is falling. “Thirty years ago, they were cost-effective on  satellites,” says Daniel Shugar, president of PowerLight Corporation. “Today, we can use them for houses  and businesses.” He says that in the future most houses will have solar panels. There are other problems  with solar power. It needs a lot of space, and, of course, it doesn’t work at night. Wind Power  On a cloudy day in Denmark, a wind turbine is producing clean, renewable electricity. Right now,  wind power is the best of the alternative energy sources. But again, there are problems with it. Some  people think wind turbines are ugly. And, of course, there are days when there is no wind.  So, how will our grandchildren get their energy? “We’re going to need everything we can get from  solar, everything we can get from wind,” says Michael Pacheco, director of the National Bioenergy Center,  part of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado. “And still the question  is: Can we get enough?”  (Adapted from World English 1)  Question 9. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?  By 2100, we will use three times as much energy.   A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV] Question 10.

Many solar panels are used in Germany, but they still cannot provide energy during nighttime hours. C. Solar energy has great potential, but it is costly, requires large spaces and doesn't function effectively  every time.  D. Solar panels are becoming cheaper, but they still require sunlight and are not widely used by households  yet.  Question 13.
