After years of hype and false starts, the shift to clean power has begun to accelerate at a pace that has taken the most experienced experts by surprise. Even leaders in the oil and gas sector have been forced to confront an existential question: will the 21st century be the last one for fossil fuels? It is early, but the evidence is mounting. Wind and solar parks are being built at unprecedented rates, threatening the business models of established power companies. Electric cars that were hard to even buy eight years ago are selling at an exponential rate, in the process driving down the price of batteries that hold the key to unleashing new levels of green growth. “This clean energy disruption has just started and what is striking is how much of a financial impact it is already having on some companies,” says Per Lekander, a portfolio manager at London's Lansdowne Partners hedge fund, who has tracked global energy markets for more than 25 years. “It hit the electricity sector first, in Europe in 2013 and then the US two years later. Now it has spread to the auto sector and I think the oil industry is next.” The shift has come as increased government efforts to curb climate change and smog have driven down costs and spurred technical advances, creating a green energy industry that looks nothing like it did a decade ago: expensive and sluggish. Today, China and India have picked up the baton and are driving a sector that has spread to every continent. The result was a banner year for green energy in 2016. Question 1. It is stated in the passage that in the past, green energy ____. A. used internationally with great efficacy B. received huge investment from government C. was disfavored at the beginning D. was the main sources of energy using by humans Question 2. The fear of leaders from oil and gas sector company comes from ____. A. the likelihood of fossil fuel to exhaust by the end of the 21st century B. the sufficiency of energy produced by green power C. the changes in manufacturing oil and gas D. green power companies enjoying huge investment from the government Question 3. The price of electric cars has been ____. A. rising rapidly B. increasing steadily C. falling exponentially D. fluctuating wildly Question 4. In which year was the electricity sector in US hit by the use of green energy? A. 2013 B. 2014 C. 2015 D. 2016 Question 5. The word "sluggish" is closest in meaning to ____.
A. inactive B. developed C. promising D. ineffective PASSAGE 2: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. If “suburb” means an urban margin that grows more rapidly than its already developed interior, the process of suburbanization began during the emergence of the industrial city in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Before that period the city was a small highly compact cluster in which people moved about on foot and goods were conveyed by horse and cart. But the early factories built in the 1830's and 1840's were located along waterways and near railheads at the edges of cities, and housing was needed for the thousands of people drawn by the prospect of employment. In time, the factories were surrounded by proliferating mill towns of apartments and row houses that abutted the older, main cities. As a defense against this encroachment and to enlarge their tax bases, the cities appropriated their industrial neighbors. In 1854, for example, the city of Philadelphia annexed most of Philadelphia County. Similar municipal maneuvers took place in Chicago and in New York. Indeed, most great cities of the United States achieved such status only by incorporating the communities along their borders. With the acceleration of industrial growth came acute urban crowding and accompanying social stress conditions that began to approach disastrous proportions when, in 1888, the first commercially successful electric traction line was developed. Within a few years the horse-drawn trolleys were retired and electric streetcar networks crisscrossed and connected every major urban area, fostering a wave of suburbanization that transformed the compact industrial city into a dispersed metropolis. This first phase of mass-scale suburbanization was reinforced by the simultaneous emergence of the urban Middle class whose desires for homeownership in neighborhoods far from the aging inner city were satisfied by the developers of single-family housing tracts. Question 1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The growth of Philadelphia B. The Origin of the Suburb C. The Development of City Transportation D. The Rise of the Urban Middle Class Question 2. The author mentions that areas bordering the cities have grown during periods of ____. A. industrialization B. inflation C. revitalization D. unionization Question 3. The word "encroachment" is closest in meaning to ____. A. the smell of the factories B. the growth of mill towns C. the development of waterways D. the loss of jobs Question 4. Which of the following was NOT mentioned in the passage as a factor in nineteenth-century suburbanization? A. Cheaper housing B. Urban crowding C. The advent of an urban middle class D. The invention of the electric streetcar Question 5. It can be inferred from the passage that after 1890 most people traveled around cities by ____. A. automobile B. cart C. horse-drawn trolley D. electric streetcar PASSAGE 3: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
