ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES

Fossil fuels are the cause of many problems. They create terrible pollution which leads to global warming. Many wars are fought to control oil and gas fields. Fossil fuels are also nonrenewable resources. They will be exhausted someday. Societies around the world suffer when fuel shortages occur.

Can solar power completely replace fossil fuels? Solar power is clean, safe, and inexpensive. But the idea of replacing fossil fuels with solar power alone is totally unrealistic. Current solar cell technology is not advanced enough. Solar cells are not dependable. They are useless in cloudy and rainy weather as well as at night. Also, they take up too much space. Then they fail to produce sufficient amounts of power.

The soft energy path is a good alternative to fossil fuel reliance. The soft energy path is an energy conservation plan. It is an alternative to the hard energy path. Hard energy is defined as harmful and nonrenewable. Fossil fuels and nuclear power are included. On the other hand, soft energy is defined as renewable and environmentally safe energy. Solar and wind power are soft energy. Biofuel and geothermal energy are also included.

There are many proponents of the soft energy path. They believe the solution lies in new energy production methods. The first step is to practice careful conservation in our use of hard energy technologies. Then, many new soft energy sources will be phased into use as soft energy technology improves.

Some critics claim this will damage all energy production. They feel fossil fuels are important. They want to control as much oil production as possible. They think fossil fuel consumption is good for industry.

Countries such as Canada and Sweden are taking the soft energy path. Canada is currently lessening its reliance on gasoline. In the next few years, all gasoline will contain a percentage of biofuel. Sweden has committed to decrease its reliance on oil by 40%. It says it can do this before the year 2020.

51. According to the passage, which of the following is true about the soft energy path?

A. It is an energy conservation plan.

B. It is harmful and nonrenewable fuel.

C. It is useless in cloudy and rainy weather.

D. It is biofuel and geothermal energy.

52. According to paragraph 6, all of the following are true EXCEPT:

A. The soft energy path has been adopted by Canada and Sweden.

B. Canada is trying to use less gasoline every year.

C. All gasoline in Canada will contain some biofuel in a few years.

D. Sweden will cut down on the consumption of oil by 90% in the future.

53. The word exhausted in the passage is closest in meaning to

A. wasted

B. used up

C. worn out

D. burned

54. In stating that many soft energy sources will be phased into use, the author means that they will

A. be an alternative to the hard energy path

B. be used gradually

C. be adopted by Sweden and Canada

D. damage all energy production

We use many different energy sources to do work for us. Energy sources are classified into two groups - renewable and nonrenewable. Non-renewable energy sources are those that take millions of years to form and will run out some day. It is energy that comes from fossil fuels such as coal, crude oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels are mainly made up of carbon and were formed millions of years ago. The chemical reaction which takes place when we burn fossil fuels releases carbon compounds such as...

Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.

Coal, oil, and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of irs power. However, not only are supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. Therefore, it's important to improve, explore and develop such alternative energy sources as nuclear, water, solar and wind power. Each of these alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.

Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they create the difficult problenı of what to do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for communities locnted far from moving water.Wind power is a pollution-free source renewable energy but it cannot be used many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind. Solar power renewable, it does not cause pollution and it does not add the earth's heat load. However, it ia dilficult to coilect and store. Solar power also requir eensive equipnent

Every source of energy has its disadvantages. One way to minimize them is to use less energy. Conservation efforts coupled with renewable energy resoucs wll ensure supplies of clean, affordable energy for humanity's future.

1. Coal, oil and natural gas .............

a. are very great in amount

c. pollute the atmosphere

b. will never be used up

d. supply most of its power

2. Nuclear power plants

a. are difficult to build ..............

c. are very cheap to maintain

b. pollute the atmosphere

d. create the problem of nuclear waste

3. Wind power...............

a. cannot be used in places that has strong wind

b. is never completely used up

c. is a source of pollution

d. cannot replace itself .

4. What is the adyantage of these alternatives?

a. They are environmentally friendly energy sources

b. They are non renewable forms of energy

c. They are all very practical

d. They are inexpensive to exploit

5. From the passage, it can be inferred that to solve our energy problem...................

a. we will have to stop using many of our modern conveniences

b. scientists will have to find one major source of nonpolluting energy

c. scientists will have to find ways to increase our supplies of coal, oil, and gas

d. a combination of conservation and invention will be needed

Hello students. Today I'd like to tell you some information about types and sources of energy. Energy is classified into two main groups: renewable and non-renewable.The energy generated from natural sources such as the sun, wind, rain, and tides is called renewable energy. They are plentiful and can be generated again and again. They also have low carbon emissions so they are considered green and environment-friendly. Moreover, using renewable energy can reduce your electricity bills....
