I. Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer from A, B, C or D.
Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has been.
Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines rooms. Petrol mixed with
air was the next invention that and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm provided power.
Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not
much adaptability.
On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that drive our
electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in
steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity. An
electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a furnace, or to boil a jug
for a cup of coffee.
Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in
the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with
incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances.
To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water to
drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the
atmosphere with smoke from coal.
Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy once occurred
at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor leaked, which caused
many deaths through radiation.
Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the environment. They
may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more
efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar
cells to create more current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid
itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels.
46. The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to ________.
A. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy.
B. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity.
C. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy.
D. discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity.
47. Electric magnets are used in steel works to _________.
A. lift heavy weights up to ten tons. B. test the steel for strength.
C. heat the molten steel. D. boil a jug of water.
48. The advantage of harnessing the power of the tides and of sunlight to generate electricity is that they _______
A. do not pollute the environment. B. are more reliable.
C. are more adaptable. D. do not require attention.
49. The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to _________.
A. harmful effects B. the tides C. scientists D. new ways
50. The best title for this passage could be _________.
A. “Types of Power Plants” B. “Electricity: Harmful Effects on Our Life”
C. “How to Produce Electricity” D. “Why Electricity Is So Remarkable”
