Grade 9 UNIT 7. SAVING ENERGY
Almost all our energy comes from oil, coal, and natural gas. We call them fossils fuel. The
earth’s fossil fuels are running out. What will happen when there are no oil, coal, and gas on
earth?
Scientists are trying to find and use other alternative sources of energy. We can use energy
from the sun, the wind and the water.
Solar energy is unlimited. The sun supplies all the energy used to grow plants, to evaporate
water for rain, and to maintain the temperature of the planet. All are necessary for human life. If
we are able to collect solar energy, we will be sure to have this abundant source of power.
Another source of energy from nature is the wind. Wind power is clean and plentiful. Energy
from the wind has been used for centuries to move ships, grind grain, pump water and do other
forms of work. In more recent times, wind has been used to generate electricity.
Water can also provide power. For a long time, people have used water to power machines.
Some early uses of water power were mill grain, saw wood, and power machinery for the textile
industry. Today water is mostly used to generate electricity.
A.
A. rain B. creat C. maintain D. the wind
E. sources F. sunlight G. fossil fuels H. alternative
[
1. The text mention four …. sources of energy.
2. Energy from … is limited, but energy from the sun isn’t.
3. The result of water that evaporate is ….. .
4. Solar power helps …. our planet’s temperature.
5. Plants can’t grow without …. .
1. We are asking for questions “What will happen when there is no oil, coal and gas on
earth?” because …… .
A. we are looking for other alternative sources of energy.
B. we are looking forward to seeing great changes.
C. we are now depending so much on oil, coal and natural gas.
D. other sources of energy can come from the sunm the wind, and the water.
2. Which pair of words can be used alternatively?
A. the sun / the wind C. energy / power
B. rain / temperature D. plentiful / unlimited
3. Centuries ago, people used the wind power to …. .
A. maintain the earth’s temperature C. grow plants
B. get water form underground D. generate electricity
4. Up till now, water energy has been used for …. .
