Between 1990 and 2010, the number of people with access to electricity has increased by 1.7 billion, and as the global population continues to rise so will the demand for cheap energy. A global economy reliant on fossil fuels, and the increase of greenhouse gas emissions is creating drastic changes to our climate system. This is impacting every continent. One of the solutions is encouraging the utilization of clean energy to become cheap energy sources.
Efforts to encourage clean energy has resulted in more than 20% of global power being generated by renewable sources as of 2011. Nevertheless, still one in five people lack access to electricity. As the demand continues to rise there needs to be a substantial increase in the production of renewable energy across the world. Ensuring universal access to affordable electricity by 2030 means investing in clean energy sources such as solar, wind, and thermal. In addition, adopting cost-effective standards for a wider range of technologies could also reduce the global electricity consumption by buildings and industry by 14%. This means avoiding roughly 1,300 mid-size power plants. Expanding infrastructure and upgrading technology to provide clean energy in all developing countries is a crucial goal that can both encourage growth and help the environment.
1. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is…
A. To inform the readers about the ways in utilizing clean energy to meet the energy demands.
B. To judge the use of fossil fuels as the energy sources that have emitted greenhouse gas.
C. To evaluate the course of actions that has been done in supplying energy for the world.
D. To propose a solution for shifting the large demand of fossil energy to clean energy.
E. To explain the proper methods that should be used to fulfill the energy demands.

Thomas Matulessy, also known as Kapitan Pattimura or Ahmad Lussy or simply Pattimura,
was an Ambonese soldier and National Hero of Indonesia.
Pattimura was born on 8 June 1783 in Saparua, Maluku; the name Pattimura was his pseudonym. His parents were Frans Matulessia and Fransina Tilahoi, and he had a little brother named Yohanis.

At the point when purchasing a house, you must make sure to have it checked for termites. A termite is much like an burrowing little creature in its mutual propensities, albeit physically the two creepy crawlies are unmistakable. Like those ants, termite states comprise of diverse classes, each

A couple of conceptive termites establishes the province. At the point when new conceptive termites create, they leave to shape another province. They utilize their wings just this on time and after that sever them. The specialist termites are little, dazzle and wingless, with delicate bodies.

Fungi, of which there are over 100,000 species, including yeasts and other single-celled
organisms as well as the common molds and mushrooms, were formerly classified as members of the plant kingdom. However, in reality they are very different from plants and today they are placed in a separate group altogether. The principal reason for this is that none of them possesses chlorophyll,
and since they cannot synthesize their own carbohydrates, they obtain their supplies either from the breakdown of dead organic matter or from other living organisms. Furthermore the walls of fungal
cells are not made of cellulose, as those of plants are, but of another complex sugarlike polymer
called chitin, the material from which the hard outer skeletons of shrimps, spiders, and insects are made. The difference between the chemical composition of the cell walls of fungi and those of plants
is of enormous importance because it enables the tips of the growing hyphae, the threadlike cells of the fungus, to secrete enzymes that break down the walls of plant cells without having any effect on those of the fungus itself. It is these cellulose-destroying enzymes that enable fungi to attack anything made from wood, wood pulp, cotton, flax, or other plant material.
The destructive power of fungi is impressive. They are a major cause of structural damage to building timbers, a cause of disease in animals and humans, and one of the greatest causes of agricultural losses. Entire crops can be wiped out by fungal attacks both before and after harvesting. Some fungi can grow at +50°C, while others can grow at -5°C, so even food in cold storage may not
be completely safe from them. On the other hand, fungi bring about the decomposition of dead organic matter, thus enriching the soil and returning carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. They also enter into a number of mutually beneficial relationships with plants and other organisms. In addition, fungi are the source of many of the most potent antibiotics used in clinical medicine, including penicillin.
14. What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss?
A. differences between simple and complex fungi
B. functions of chlorophyll in plants

of fungi?
A. Fungi are no longer classified as plants
B. Some single-cell organisms are no longer classified as fungi.
C. New methods of species identification have been introduced
D. Theories about the chemical composition of fungi have been revised.
