Coal, oil, and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of irs power. However, not only are supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. Therefore, it's important to improve, explore and develop such alternative energy sources as nuclear, water, solar and wind power. Each of these alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.
Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they create the difficult problenı of what to do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for communities locnted far from moving water.Wind power is a pollution-free source renewable energy but it cannot be used many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind. Solar power renewable, it does not cause pollution and it does not add the earth's heat load. However, it ia dilficult to coilect and store. Solar power also requir eensive equipnent
Every source of energy has its disadvantages. One way to minimize them is to use less energy. Conservation efforts coupled with renewable energy resoucs wll ensure supplies of clean, affordable energy for humanity's future.

Part 3. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Circle A, B, C or D to indicate your answers. (1.0 point)
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. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power is also being tested.
Some experts expect 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.
