VII. Read the following passage and choose A, B, C, and D to answer the following
questions.
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 waste.
Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale and coal
tars. But today, 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 expect 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 to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of the
temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.
1. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. The Use of Water Productions for Energy
B. The Search for Alternative Sources of Energy
C. Efficient ways of Disposing of Waste
D. New Discoveries in Geothermal Power
2. Fifty years ago, one third of the electricity in the United States was provided

A. wind
