One way is the greater production of mon energy sources(能源), such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.Another way is energy conservation(节能), which means using energy more efficiently(有效地). In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometre down. At six kilometres, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped(压;抽)down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.75.How many ways of dealing with the energy problem are discussed in the text?A.TwoB.ThreeC.FourD.Five.76.From the text we learn that coal .A.is quite easy to produce B.is not used most efficientlyC.is the most mon source of energyD.could be renewed only by new technology77.The writer tells about the special houses because they A.show the excellent skills of the buildersB.serve as an example of energy conservationC.are heated by different sources of energyD.are warmer than other types of houses78.The underlined words geothermal energy in the third paragraph mean .A.renewable source B.underground sourceC.heat inside the earth D.temperature of the earth短文改错：There is public library in every town in Britain.There are branch library in many villages.Anyone may borrow books , and it cost nothing to borrow them.
