2. SECOND TERM ENGLISH EXAM
PART ONE: Reading (15 points) A/Comprehension:(07pts)
Read the text carefully then do the activities.
Have you ever stopped to think how your life would
change if the world ran out of oil? Take a look at your daily
activities.
The roof of your home is probably made waterproof by an
oil product, bitumen: The same product is used for the road
surface outside your home. In the kitchen and the bathroom you
will probably see some plastic fittings such as tiles and working
surfaces, curtains and detergent. All owe their origin to the oil
known as petroleum which means, in Latin, “Petra”: rock and
“Oleum”: oil. Look inside the medicine cupboard for more
products. Cosmetics such as face creams, lipsticks and hair
preparations are often based on petroleum.
Scientifics predict that the world’s known oil resources
will run out early in this century. But long before then the world will
have to decide on its priorities. Can we afford to use so much of
our limited Petroleum supplies for private motoring? Should
planes compete on similar routes and fly long distances with
empty passenger seats? What alternative energies can be
developed?

of invention”, which means that when you are faced with a need,
you discover some way to satisfy it. So, our wonderful world is full
of renewable energies: solar, wind, ocean, biomass…
