Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate 
the correct answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70. 
 Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this 
discovery has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive 
engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the 
next invention that provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these 
simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability. 
 On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful 
voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from 
the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, 
all are powered by electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass 
of molten metal in a furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee. 
 Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the 
greatest power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It 
travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly 
over vast distances. 
 To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal 
or water to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines 
without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal. 
 Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A 
tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. 
The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation. 
 Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the 
environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they 
hope to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet 
improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this 
happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks 
and cars that burn fossil fuels. 
Question 61: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first 
paragraph to ______. 
A. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy 
B. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity 
C. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy 
D. discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity
