II. Read the passage below and then choose the correct answer A, B, C or D. (2 pts)
One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was a method of using natural gas
for cooking and heating. Large amounts of natural gas are found in the United States, usually several
thousand feet below the surface of the earth. Natural gas is most often found in places where
petroleum, the oil from which gasoline is made, is found. Often the natural gas must be removed
before the oil itself can be reached.
For many years after natural gas was first discovered, it was thought to have no value. Finally,
however, people began to understand its use and to find ways of storing it and moving it from place
to place. Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking and heating. It has
also been used for electric generators and hybrid cars recently. In many ways natural gas is one of our
finest fuels. It can be used for cooking without making the room hot. It is cheap and can be moved
easily from one place to another through long pipelines, some of which are hundreds of miles in
length.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. natural gas is useless B. people once wasted natural gas
C. natural gas is moved in trucks D. natural gas is found where there’s no petroleum
2. This passage as a whole is about _______.
A. discovering natural gas B. finding petroleum.
