PART 2: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the

Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are oil, gas,
and coal. More than 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many
problems with fossil fuel. One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air. Also,
when we take fossil fuel from the Earth, we often cause a lot of damage. Another problem is that
we are running out of it. That is why we need new sources of energy. A big source of energy for
many countries is nuclear power. Thirty-one countries use nuclear power. Many ships also use it.
Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power. Nuclear
power does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn't need to buy as
much as oil from other countries.
However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, nuclear
accidents are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine. In the next 20 years,
about 4,000 people got sick and died. In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in
Japan. Japan is still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident.
Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it is not safe. A lot of
people want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity. There have been
protests against nuclear energy in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan, India, and
many other countries.
Although many people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it. One reason
for this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don't have enough fossil fuel.
However, if we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future.

A. it doesn't take us much time to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident
B. they have been very serious
C. there were serious nuclear accidents in Ukraine in 1986 and in Japan in 2011
D. their effects can last many years
Question 17. What does the word "They" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. supporters B. protesters C. officials D. countries
Question 18. The phrase "clean up" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ………….
A. remove B. block C. evacuate D. disappear
Question 19. Which of the following is TRUE about fossil fuel?
A. It can not pollute the air.
B. Mining fossil fuel does not bring harm to the environment.
C. Its sources are limited
D. We don't use much of it.
