The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are burning
garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil
is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes.
Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale and coal tars. But to date that
process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills.
Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being tested.
Some experts are trying utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams and rivers.
Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but today
it supplies only four percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways

to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves into electricity. Experiments are also underway to
make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.

A) The Use of Water Products for Energy

A combination of water, salt, air pollution, sun, sand, and wind is destroying the huge statue just outside
Cairo. This five-thousand-year-old statue, which has the body of a lion and the face of a human being, is too
badly damaged to be completely saved. First, there is not a good drainage system around the statue and too
much water has been running into the stone statue for several years. As a result, tiny pieces of salt have been
left on the stone and have damaged it. Second, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is
also destroying the ancient statue. The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is damaging the statue even
faster. Third, the statue is being destroyed by extremes of temperature. The air is very cold at night, but
during the day the stone of the statue becomes very hot under the strong sunlight. Other natural forces such
as severe sandstorms attack the statue as well. Finally, the tourists who visit the statue every day also cause a
lot of damage to it.

The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American ideal than
an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we
had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among
different American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one-third of all current American families fit
the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none
still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are
single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total,
consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually
divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal.
Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the
traditional one.
46) With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?
A) The traditional American family
B) The nuclear family
C) The current American family

D) The ideal family

48) The word “current” could best be replaced by which of the following?
A) typical B) present
C) perfect D) traditional
49) According to the passage, married couples whose children have grown or who have no children
represent.
A) 100 / 3 percent of households
B) 20 percent of households
C) 7 percent of households
D) 3 percent of households
50) Who generally constitutes a one-person household?
A) A single man in his twenties

Many years ago, people often said, “A woman’s place is in the home” But Americans do not feel that way any
more. Today, women make up about 43 percent of the American labour force. There are about 45 million
working women in the United States, and a large number of them are married with children.
In 1980 for the first time in the nation’s history, there were more working wives than household wives.
Looking back to 1940, we can see a picture of some very rapid change. In 1940, only 15 percent of married
women held jobs. Today most young women choose to work even when they have young children. Why do
they work? The most important reason is that they need to earn money. But another reason is that women to
day are better educated and they have more opportunities to work in various professions than women had
earlier.

A new study says increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may affect the growth of forests near
the equator. They found that trees in many tropical forests seem to be growing and dying at a faster rate than in
the past, and the increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are responsible. Many plants grow
faster when they receive extra carbon dioxide and trees that grow faster also die sooner than they would
normally.
Carbon dioxide is produced by factories and motor vehicles. The gas rises into the atmosphere and traps the
sun’s heat. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they change sunlight to energy. When trees
die, however, they put carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.
The report says that the dead trees in the tropical forests may then be replaced by trees and plants that grow
fast in the sun. But because the new trees grow faster than those they replace, they are less dense. So they
remove less carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The report also warns that fast growing plants could prevent the growing of other kinds of plants that usually
grow in areas of low sunlight, which increases the loss of different kinds of plants and animals in the tropical
rain forests.
46) What is the main idea of the reading passage?
A) The increased level of carbon dioxide causes changes in the growth of trees in rain forests.
B) The death of large trees affects the level of carbon dioxide in the tropical forests.
C) Trees grow faster when they receive extra carbon dioxide.
D) Fast growing plants could prevent the growing of other kinds of plants
47) What will happen to trees that grow fast?
A) They will absorb less carbon dioxide than those growing slowly.
B) They will die sooner than they would normally.
C) They will create fewer problems than slowly-growing trees.

D) They will put more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
48) How do trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
A) By putting back carbon dioxide into the air.
B) By dying slowly.
C) By changing sunlight to energy
D) By growing faster
49) Which of the following DO NOT produce carbon dioxide?
A) Factories
B) The sunlight
C) Automobiles
D) Motor vehicles
50) Why do fast-growing trees remove less carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than slowly-growing
ones?
A) Because they die sooner.
B) Because they grow faster.
C) Because they grow in much less density.
D) Because they do not let other kinds of plants grow with them.
