Question III. Read the passage and choose the best answers to questions below. Write the
answers on your answer sheet. (10 pts)
In the course of its history, human inventions have dramatically increased the average
amount of energy available for use per person. Primitive peoples in cold regions burned wood and
animal dung to heat their caves, cook food, and drive off animals by fire. The first step toward the
developing of more efficient fuels was taken when people discovered that they could use vegetable
oils and animal fats in lieu of gathered or cut wood. Charcoal gave off more intensive heat than
wood and was more easily obtainable than organic fats. The Greeks first began to use coal for
metal smelting in the 4th century, but it did not come into extensive use until the Industrial
Revolution.
In the 1700s, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, most energy used in the United
States and other nations undergoing industrialization was obtained from perpetual and renewable
sources, such as wood, water streams, domesticated animal labor, and wind. These were
predominantly locally available supplies. By mid-1800s, 91 percent of all commercial energy
consumed in the United States and European countries was obtained from wood. However, at the
beginning of the 20th century, coal became a major energy source and replaced wood in
industrializing countries. Although in most regions and climate zones wood was more readily
accessible than coal, the latter represents a more concentrated source of energy. In 1910, natural
gas and oil firmly replaced coal as the main source of fuel because they are lighter and, therefore,
cheaper to transport. They burned more cleanly than coal and polluted less. Unlike coal, oil could
be refined to manufacture liquid fuels for vehicles, a very important consideration in the early
1900s, when the automobile arrived on the scene.
By 1984, non-renewable fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, provided over 82
percent of the commercial and industrial energy used in the world. Small amounts of energy were
derived from nuclear fission, and the remaining 16 percent came from burning direct perpetual
and renewable fuels, such as biomass. Between 1700 and 1986, a large number of countries
shifted from the use of energy from local sources to a centralized generation of hydropower and
solar energy converted to electricity. The energy derived from non-renewable fossil fuels has been
increasingly produced in one location and transported to another, as is the case with most
automobile fuels. In countries with private, rather than public transportation, the age of non-
renewable fuels has created a dependency on a finite resource that will have to be replaced.
Alternative fuel sources are numerous, and shale oil and hydrocarbons are just two
examples. The extraction of shale oil from large deposits in Asian and European regions has

4
proven to be labor consuming and costly. The resulting product is sulfur-and nitrogen-rich, and
large-scale extractions are presently prohibitive. Similarly, the extraction of hydrocarbons from
tar sands in Alberta and Utah is complex. Semi-solid hydrocarbons cannot be easily separated
from the sandstone and limestone that carry them, and modern technology is not sufficiently
versatile for a large-scale removal of the material. However, both sources of fuel may eventually
be needed as petroleum prices continue to rise and limitations in fossil fuel availability make
alternative deposits more attractive.
71. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Application of various fuels B. Natural resources and fossil fuels
C. A history of energy use D. A historical review of energy rates
72. The phrase “per person” in the first paragraph is close in meaning to __________ .
A. per capita B. per year C. per family D. per day
73. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ___________ .
A. coal mining was essential for primitive peoples
B. the Greeks used coal in industrial productions
C. the development of efficient fuel was a gradual process
D. the discovery of efficient fuels was mostly accidental
74. The phrase “in lieu” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A. in spite B. in place C. in every way D. in charge
75. The author of the passage implies that in the 1700s, sources of energy were _______.
A. used for commercial purposes B. used in various combinations
C. not derived from mineral deposits D. not always easy to locate
76. The phrase “the latter” in the second paragraph refers to ____________ .
A. wood B. coal C. most regions D. climate zones
77. According to the passage, what was the greatest advantage of oil as fuel?
A. it was a concentrated source of energy.
B. it was lighter and cheaper than coal.
C. it replaced wood and coal and reduced pollution.
D. it could be converted to automobile fuel.
78. It can be inferred from the passage that in the early 20th century, energy was obtained primarily
from ___________ .
A. Fossil fuels B. Nuclear fission
C. Hydraulic and solar sources D. Burning biomass
79. The author of the passage implies that alternative sources of fuel are currently _________ .
A. being used for consumption B. being explored
C. available in few locations D. examined on a large scale
80. The word “prohibitive” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________ .
A. prohibited B. provided C. too expensive D. too expedient
