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. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 about fossil fuels? A. They are not clean. B. They include coal, oil and natural gas. C. They won't last forever. D. They generate the most energy on Earth. Question 11. The phrase cost a fortune in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by ________. A. are very expensive B. are affordable  C. require much effort D. earn the most money Question 12. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?  A. Solar power is a promising energy source but remains expensive and requires improvements in design. B. 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. The word it in paragraph 3 refers to _______.  A. a cloudy day B. wind power C. Denmark D. renewable electricity Question 14. The word ugly in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______. A. detrimental B. beautiful C. boring D. insignificant Question 15. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Wind energy is the only alternative source that can replace fossil fuels today. B. Wind energy is considered the most efficient alternative source of energy at present. C. Wind energy is the cheapest and most widely used energy source in the world. D. Wind turbines produce more electricity than any other renewable energy source. Question 16. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?  A. Wind power is a perfect energy source and works efficiently in all weather conditions. B. Solar energy is affordable and can provide electricity even when the sun is not shining. C. Solar power has become cheaper and is now more practical for homes and businesses.  D. Fossil fuels are environmentally friendly and will continue to be our main energy source. Question 17. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?  A. We must use as much solar and wind energy as possible to meet future demands. B. Solar and wind energy are already enough to replace fossil fuels in the coming years. C. Renewable energy sources are unlimited, so we do not need to worry about shortages. D. People should rely only on solar and wind power instead of other energy alternatives. Question 18. Which of the following best summarises the passage?  A. Future energy needs will require renewable sources, including wind and solar, which are promising,  but challenges like cost, efficiency, and availability remain.  B. Fossil fuels will still be widely used in the future, but alternative energy sources like solar and wind  will be necessary despite challenges like space, cost, and weather.  C. The world’s energy demand is decreasing, and renewable sources like solar and wind are promising  but have limitations such as cost and reliability.  D. Solar and wind energy are the best solutions for future energy, but their effectiveness depends on  technological advancements and environmental conditions.
