B. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 7分)
Most of the energy we use for heating, lighting, transportation and manufacturing (制造业) comes from fossil (化石) fuels. These are carbon-based fuels from oil, coal and natural gas. When we burn these fuels we release heat which provides the energy.
There are three main disadvantages to using these fuels. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because of the Greenhouse Effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have nothing left to burn. Thirdly, they are not very efficient. The internal combustion engine (内燃机) that we use in most cars, trucks and buses, for example, is only about 14% efficient.
Scientists are working on another fuel—hydrogen. There are a couple of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel. Firstly, because two-thirds of the earth's surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen. There is an almost unlimited supply of hydrogen. Secondly, burning hydrogen does not cause global warming. Thirdly, it is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels.
Unfortunately there are problems with hydrogen at the present time: there is the problem of separating (分离) it from water cheaply, and there is the difficulty of storing it. It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from safe. It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely low temperatures. It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be a completely new technology before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels. Solving these problems is an urgent (急迫的) matter. Although China, India and Australia have huge amounts of cheap coal, and there are still large oil and gas reserves(储藏量) elsewhere, the effects on the planet’s climate will be bad if they are used. 78. ______ isn’t carbon-based fuel. A) Hydrogen B) Natural gas C) Coal D) Oil 79. Using carbon-based fuels can ______. A) cause traffic accidents B) cause floods and forest fires C) produce hydrogen and oxygen D) produce carbon dioxide 80. The underline word “global”in Paragraph Two means “______”. A) the Earth’s surface’s B) ball-shaped C) world-wide D) atmosphere’s
81. Which of the following is Not True according to the passage? ______ A) It’s not easy but difficult to store hydrogen.
B) Storing hydrogen is dangerous in high pressure tanks. C) There are almost unlimited carbon-based fuels on the Earth. D) Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen.
