Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions
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 nuclearpower. 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 peoplewant their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity. There have been
protests against nuclearenergy 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 nuclearpower, then we may have more serious problems in the
future.
