Question 56 to 65: Read the passage and choose the correct answer. Identify your choice by marking A, B, C or D
on the answer sheet.
In the course its history, human inventions have dramatically increased the average amount of energy available
for use per person. Primitive peoples in cold regions burned wood and animal dung to heat their caves, cook food, and
drive off animals by fire. The first step toward the developing of more efficient fuels was taken when people
discovered that they could use vegetable oils and animal fats in lieu of gathered or cut wood. Charcoal gave off a more
intensive heat than wood and was more easily obtainable than organic fats. The Greeks first began to use coal for
metal smelting in the 14th century, but it did not come extensive use until the Industrial Revolution.
In the 1700s, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, most energy used in the United States and other
nations undergoing industrialization was obtained from perpetual and renewable sources, such as wood, water streams,
domesticated animal labour, and wind. These were predominantly locally available supplies. By mid-1800s, 91 percent
of all commercial energy consumed in the United States and European countries was obtained from wood. However, at
the beginning of the 20th century, coal became a major energy source and replaced wood in industrializing countries.
Although in most regions and climate zones wood was more readily accessible than coal, the latter represents a more
concentrate source of energy. In 1910, natural gas and oil firmly replaced coal as the main source of fuel because they
are lighter and, therefore, cheaper to transport. They burned more cleanly than coal and polluted less. Unlike coal, oil
could be refined to manufacture liquid fuels for vehicles, a very important consideration in early 1900s, when the
automobile arrived on the scene.
By 1984, nonrenewable fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, provided over 82 percent of the
commercial and industrial energy used in the world. Small amounts of energy were derived from nuclear fission, and
the remaining 16 percent came from burning direct perpetual and renewable fuels, such as biomass. Between 1700 and
1986, a large number of countries shifted from the use of energy from local sources to a centralized generation of
hydropower and solar energy converted to electricity. The energy derived from nonrenewable fossil fuels has created a
dependency on a finite resource that will have to be replaced.
Alternative fuel sources are numerous, and shale oil and hydrocarbons are just two examples. The extraction
of shale oil from large deposits in Asia and European regions has proven to be labor consuming and costly. The
resulting product is sulfur-and nitrogen rich, and large-scale extractions are presently prohibitive. Similarly, the
extraction of hydrocarbons from tar sands in Alberta and Utah is complex. Semi-solid hydrocarbons cannot be easily
separated from the sandstone and limestone that carry them, and modern technology is not sufficiently versatile for a
large-scale removal of the material. However, both sources of fuel may eventually be needed as petroleum prices
continue to rise and limitations in fossil fuel availability make alternative deposits more attractive.
Cu 56: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Applications of various fuels.
B. Natural resources and fossil fuels.
C. A history of energy use.
D. A historical overview of energy rates.
Cu 57: In line 2, the phrase per person is close in meaning to
A. per capita B. per year
C. per family D. per day
Cu 58: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that
A. coal mining was essential for primitive peoples.
B. the Greeks used coal in industrial production
C. the development of efficient fuels was gradual process D. the discovery of efficient fuels was mostly accidental.
Cu 59: The author of the passage implies that in the 1700s, sources of energy were
A. used for commercial purposes
B. used in various combinations
C. not derived from mineral deposits
D. not always easy to locate
Cu 60: In line 16, the phrase the latter refers to
A. wood
B. coal
C. most regions
D. climate zones
Cu 61: According to the passage, what was the greatest advantage of oil as fuel?
A. It was a concentrated source of energy.
B. It was lighter and cheaper than coal.

History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or talkies,
did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were
accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full scale
orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound effect machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at
the same time as the pictures called synchronized sound began soon after the very first films were shown. With
synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented
gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest
disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle
jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue
sequence.
In the sound-on-film system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by
an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization. Short
feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us talking picture.
Cu 76: The word screenings is closest in meaning to _________.
A. revelations
B. demonstrations
C. diversions
D. projections
Cu 77: It can be inferred that ________.
A. most movie theatres had a pianist
B. sound-effects machines were not common because they were expensive
C. orchestra couldnt synchronize sound with the pictures
D. gramophones were developed about the same time as moving pictures
Cu 78: The word sequence is closest in meaning to ________.
A. interpretation
B. organization
C. distribution
D. progression
Cu 79: According to the passage, sound-on-film guaranteed synchronization because the recording was _____.
A. read by an optical sensor
B. inserted beside the image on the film
C. made during the film of the picture
D. marked on the gramophone
Cu 80: The passage is mainly about the ________.
A. development of sound with movies
B. history of silent movies
C. disadvantages of synchronized sound
D. research into sound reproduction
