II. Read the passage and answer the questions below. (2.0 points)
Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used
up. Actually, the world’s energy resources are limited. Nobody knows
exactly how much fuel is left. However, we should use energy resources
economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According
to Professor Marvin Burnham of the New England Institute of
Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too
late; and nuclear power is the only alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power
because it is very dangerous. What would happen if there were a serious
nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect the
future generations. The most important thing is that we should use natural
resources as economically as possible.
Questions:
26. Do we know exactly how much fuel is left?
27. According to Professor Marvin Burnham, what do we have to
do?
28. Why do many people disapprove of using nuclear power?
