Answer Questions 71～80 by referring to the comments on 4 different powers in the following magazine article. Note: Answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1. Some choices may be required more than once. A=Hydro power B=Nuclear power C=Coal-fired power D=Solar power Which power… Our demand for electricity is climbing so fast that over the next decade U. S. generating capacity must increase by a third. Fossil fuels supply nearly three-quarters of this energy. But the smoke-belching stacks of coal-fired, gas-fired and oil-fired plants are also responsible for about half of our air pollution. That, we used to think, is a small price to pay for progress. But there is an alternative, one that produces no smoke and can actually create more fuel than it consumes. In many regions it is even cheaper than coal-fired electricity: nuclear power. Already nuclear power is the second largest source of our electricity, and a new family of "failsafe" nuclear reactors-some now under construction in Japan-may one day make nuclear power even cheaper and more plentiful. The only major difference between nuclear and conventional plants is that nuclear fuel is far more radioactive. For this reason, the core must be sealed from the outside environment-and so must the spent fuel, which remains radioactive for years. If other types of power didn’t present equal or worse problems, it would make no sense to consider nuclear power at ail. But they do: Coal is much dirtier than it used to be. The U. S. reserves of clean-burning anthracite are virtually exhausted. Today, power plants must use soft coal, often contaminated with sulfur. When the smoke from this coal is dissolved by precipitation, it results in "acid rain". Burning coal produces carbon dioxide as well, which can act as a blanket, trapping solar heat in our atmosphere. Eventually, this could contribute to global warming, the greenhouse effect, though there is no conclusive evidence that this has begun. Coal also contains a surprising amount of radioactive material. Indeed, a coal-fired electric plant spews more radioactive pollution into the air than a nuclear plant. Oil and natural gas are too scarce to meet our electrical needs now, let alone in the next century. We already import over 40 per-cent of our oil from abroad, and that will likely increase. Solar power seems to be a wonderful idea: Every square yard of sunshine contains about 1 000 watts of inexhaustible energy, free for the taking. The trouble is, the taking isn’t free. To meet our electrical needs, we’d have to build enough collector plates to cover the state of Delaware. No serious student of solar power expects it to be anything but a supplement to conventional electricity for decades. Wind power generated a lot of excitement in the early 1980s, when magazines featured photographs of a "wind farm" at Altamont Pass, California, with hundreds of windmills. Everyone seemed to forget that taxpayers’ money helped buy the farm. Today, the giant blades spin productively only half a year, because winds frequently aren’t strong enough to cover costs. Hydro power is the cleanest practical source of electricity. But in the United States, most rivers that can be profitably dammed already are. Other, more exotic energy schemes would harness ocean tides and waves, nuclear fusion (the process that powers the sun) or heat from the earth’s crust or the sea. But even proponents admit that none of these will become a major source of energy soon. Now Let’s look at the advantages of nuclear power. 1. It’s clean. Radioactive emissions are negligible, much less than the radioactivity released into the air naturally from the earth or produced by cosmic rays. Standing next to a nuclear plant, I am exposed to only one-half of one percent more radiation than when sitting in my living room. A coal station, on the other hand, requires huge dumps of fuel and ashes that menace the environment. Despite a widespread misconception, nuclear waste is not a technical problem. The 108 nuclear plants in the United States generate less than 4 000 tons of fuel waste each year. In fact, all 33 years’ worth of the nation’s spent nuclear fuel would only fill a football field to a depth of five. feet. Non-nuclear hazardous waste, by contrast, totals 275 million tons annually. And nuclear waste is easy to monitor and control. The spent fuel can be kept on the premises for years until it decays to a radiation level suitable for trucking to long-term storage sites. 2. It’s inexhaustible. The U. S. uranium reserves will last many decades, and our long-term supply is guaranted. Through a process called "breeding", a reactor can convert uranium into plutonium-an even better fuel. Breeder reactors, now in use in France, could thus extend the reserves for millions of years. 3. It’s secure. Because it needs so little fuel, a nuclear plant is less vulnerable to shortages produced by strikes or by natural calamities. And since uranium is more evenly scattered about the globe than fossil fuels, nuclear power is less threatened by cartels and international crises. 4. It’s cheap. In France, where nuclear power supplies 70 per-cent of the electricity, nuclear power costs 30 percent less than coal-fired power. This enables France to export electricity to its neighbors. In Canada, where nuclear power supplies 15 percent of the electricity, Ontario Hydro has proposed building ten more nuclear reactors over the next 25 years.* results in "Acid rain" 71. * is already the 2nd largest source of electricity in the U. S. 72. * may give off more radioative pollution into the air than a nuclear plant 73. * can be taken only when large enough collector plates are built 74. * is the cleanest practical source of electricity 75. * costs 30% less than coal-fired power in France 76. * is less easy to subject to shortages caused by strikes and natural disasters 77. * is less threatened by international crises 78. * will not be considered as a supplement to conventional electricity for several decades 79. * could contribute to global warming 80.

Part B In the following article some paragraphs have been removed. For Questions 66～70, choose the most suitable paragraph from the list A～F to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There is one paragraph which does not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. No matter what your situation is, one of the greatest dangers now is that you’ll stop doing what you’re already doing right. 66. . The first fundamental is maintaining a clear-eyed view of reality, no matter how unpleasantly it may differ from what you expected. It’s amazing how many executives are driven by management fads and slogans, big hairy audacious goals (BHAGs), quantum leaps, inspirational leadership-and then refuse to deviate from course even when the environment changes dramatically. 67. . As the economy slows, you need to wipe your whiteboard clean and rethink your strategy based on what’s realistically achievable. We know of a major chemical company that in the recent era of super growth declared a goal of growing ten times bigger in ten years. It’s a wonderful aspiration, but it shouldn’t be the company’s focus now. 68. . The second fundamental-like the others, it must be non-is to focus on the quality of your people. We hope it’s no longer necessary to argue that this is increasingly your company’s only source of competitive advantage. Yet when times get tough, many companies ease up on recruiting, figuring a slow economy will drive more applicants their way, and they spend less on training as a way to raise profits quickly without doing immediate damage to the business. That’s just dumb, people do become obsolete; they also grow. To put "it in old economy terms, can you imagine postponing maintenance on an aircraft for six months You wouldn’t consider it, yet you may be tempted to do something even worse. Successful companies avoid this mistake. 69. . The third fundamental is continual, day by day insistence on improving productivity. In a slowdown, productivity typically tanks, leading some people to conclude that it is an unavoidable fact of Fife. It isn’t, and improving productivity during a downturn puts a company in a stronger competitive position when things turn up. 70. __. Maintaining a commitment to reality, a focus on people, and rising productivity-assuming you can keep those three plate spinning, you’ll want to make several other moves quickly. (No one said this was easy. ) Speed is the key. Most companies will make most of these eventually, when they’re forced to. Your challenge is to make them first. A. Indeed, researchers have found that when the pressure is on, people exhibit a dismaying tendency to focus on insignificant problems while their perceptions become distorted and they insist on proving that their mistaken view of the situation is actually correct. B. Colgate Palmolive has a remarkable record of improving productivity, as reflected in gross margin, virtually every year for the past 15 years, even during the last recession. In the brutally competitive slow growing business of household products, Colgate’s stock has risen an average of 28% annually over the past five years. C. This company, like most, should be asking how it’s going to be No. l in a new environment. The winning strategies and tactics will not be the same as those for growing tenfold in ten years. All managers will have to be prepared for more frequent shifts in ten years. All managers will have to be prepared for more frequent shifts in priorities, not just at their own companies but also with customers and supply chain partners. D. Based on our long experience-as a consultant working with some of America’s most important companies and as a journalist investigating them-we’re confident that as the economy slows, you’ll be tempted to forget three of the most important fundamentals for keeping any business successful. This is the time when it’s most crucial not to forget them. E. We need to acknowledge when we haven’t done things as well as we would like or when we do something wrong, but getting things wrong does not make us useless people. That does not mean we should not face up to our deficiencies, but facing up means moving forward, not allowing in the past. F. The most valuable airline in the world, Southwest, is one of America’s most desirable employers and in 1999 received 170,000 applications for just 6,000 positions. Yet the company recruits vigorously and never lets up, nor does it get stingy on training. The story is similar at Trilogy, General Electric, McKinley-getting the best people and malting them better is in the DNA of the most successful companies.
