问题    Read the texts from an article, For five questions, match each rule (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET.
Marvin Burnham
   We are in an energy crisis and we will have to do something quickly. Fossil fuels are rapidly running out. The tragedy is that fossil fuels are far too valuable to waste on the production of electricity. Just think of all the things you can make from oil! If we don’t start thinking ways to face the problem, it will be too late.
Catherine Woodstock
   Instead of burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be produced from any source of energy. We can do research on solar energy, wind power, wave power, tidal power, hydroelectric schemes etc; otherwise, our fossil fuels will run out, and we’ll all freeze or starve to death. We really won’t survive unless we start working on cleaner, safer sources of energy.
Michael Parkhurst
   In the past, we consumed too much energy. If we didn’t waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. You can save more energy by conservation than you can produce for the same money. Unless everyone realize the seriousness of energy crisis and stop wasting, our resources will not support us for long.
Charles Wicks
   I don’t agree with some of the estimates of world energy reserves. More oil and gas is being discovered all the time. If we listened to the pessimists, none of us would sleep at night. In the short term, we can still rely on the fossil fuels—oil, coal and gas. Researches are going on and new sources of energy will be found in the future. So there is nothing to worry about.
Jennifer Hughes
   Some people think nuclear power is away to solve the problem, but think of the potential danger of it. There is no perfect machine. I mean, why do aeroplanes crash? Machines fail. People make mistakes. What would happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? And an accident must be inevitable—sooner or later. Huge areas would be evacuated, and they could remain contaminated with radioactivity for years. If it happened in your area, you wouldn’t get a penny in compensation. No insurance company covers nuclear risks. Radioactivity causes cancer and may affect future generations, too.
   Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
[A] We should take steps to solve the problem.
[B] Saving the present resources is the most important thing.
[C] Nuclear power is an ideal alternative.
[D] We should develop alternative sources of power.
[E] I’m optimistic about the future of energy.
[F] Nuclear power is not secure.
[G] Energy crisis is inevitable.
