III. Read the passage carefully, and then answer the questions: (2.0pts)
About twenty percent of the world’s present energy comes from the sun in one form or
another. Special devices have already been made available to put on the roofs of houses and
flats to catch the sun’s rays and thus heat water. Thousands of these devices are now being
used to provide energy in homes throughout the United States while more than a million
solar water-heating units have already been built in homes in Japan. Other purposes for
which solar energy is at present being used include the removal of salt from seawater,
irrigation and sewage disposal.

heating but for cheap ways of cooking food, drying crops and lighting homes.
