V. Read the following passage carefully.
Coal, oil, and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of its 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 amount of electricity without polluting the atmosphere;
however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they create the difficult problem of what to do with nuclear

waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for communities located
far from moving water. Wind power is a pollution-free source of renewable energy but it cannot be used in
many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind. Solar power is renewable, it does not cause pollution
and it does not add the earth’s heat load. However, it is difficult to collect and store. Solar power also requires
expensive equipment.
