VII, Read the passage and answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D
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.
