Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world's energy
resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use
them economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Marvin
Burnham of the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start saving coal, oil and gas
before it is too late; and solar power is the only alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it's very dangerous. What
would happen if there was a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly
affect the future generations. The most effective thing is that we should use natural resources as
economical as possible.
