Read the followingpassage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.

Most people think of computers as very modern inventions, products of our new technological age.But actually the idea for a computer was (21)_______ out over two centuries ago by a man called Charles Babbage.

Babbage was born in 1791 and grew up to be a brilliant mathematician.He drew up plans for several calculating machines (22)_______ he called “engines”.But despite the fact that he started building some of these he never finished any of them.Over the years people have argued (23)_______ his machines would ever work.Recently, however, the Science Museum in London has finished building an engine based on one of Babbage’sdesigns.

Read the followingpassage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes.

Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale and coal tars. But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being tested.

Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the US, but today it supplies only 4 percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.
