Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. 
 The invention of the incandescent light bulb by Thomas A. Edison in 1879 created a demand for a cheap, readily available fuel with which to generate large amounts of electric power. Coal seemed to fit the bill, and it fueled the earliest power stations (which were set up at the end Of the nineteenth century by Edison himself). As more power plants were constructed throughout the country, the reliance on coal increased. Since the First World War, coal-fired power plants have accounted for about half of the electricity produced in the United States each year. In 1986 such plants had a combined generating capacity of 289,000 megawatts and consumed 33 percent of the nearly 900 million tons of coal mined in the country that year. Given the uncertainty in the future growth of nuclear power and in the supply of oil and natural gas, coal-fired power plants could well provide up to 70 percent of the electric power in the United States by the end of the century. Yet, in spite of the fact that coal has long been a source of electricity and may remain one for many years (coal represents about 80 percent of United States fossil-fuel reserves), it has actually never been the most desirable fossil fuel for power plants. Coal contains less energy per unit of weight than natural gas or oil; it is difficult to transport, and it is associated with a host of environmental issues, among them acid rain. Since the late 1960's problems of emission control and waste disposal have sharply reduced the appeal of coal-fired power plants. The cost of ameliorating these environmental problems, along with the rising cost of building a facility as large and complex as a coal-fired power plant, has also made such plants less attractive from a purely economic perspective. Changes in the technological base of coal fired power plants could restore their attractiveness, however. Whereas some of these changes are evolutionary and are intended mainly to increase the productivity of existing plants, completely new technologies for burning coal cleanly are also being developed.

FAIR PLAY FOR WOMEN IN FOOTBALL
 In 2011, the Japanese women’s football team beat the United States to win the World Cup. It was big news in Japan, and star players such as Homare Sawa became household names. It seemed that, at last, women’s football in Japan was getting the attention and respect that it deserved. A year later, however, when the team arrived at the airport to fly to the Olympic Games in London, the players were shocked to discover that their national football association had booked seats in business class for the men’s football team, but seats in the economy section of the plane for Homare and her teammates. Despite all their success and self-sacrifice, they were still second-class citizens in the world of football.
 Since the first World Cup in 1991, women’s football has grown rapidly. In fact, it has become arguably the fastest growing sport in the world. However, the astonishing story of how appallingly the Japanese world champions have been treated is typical of the way that football associations and sports media ignore and patronize women’s football. The situation is very unfair, and many people believe that attitudes should change.
 In recent years, women footballers have shown as much commitment to their sport as male footballers, but they have earned very little in comparison to the millions of euros that even average male professionals earn. It is, of course, true to say that men’s football raises a lot more money from ticket sales and sales merchandise, and major men’s football matches get much bigger TV audiences than women’s games, so nobody is suggesting that women should get the same pay as men.
 However, what women in football want is more investment, support and exposure. Research at a British university showed that, although almost half the football teams at the university were women’s teams, they received 30% less funding than the men’s teams, they could only practise and play on the best football pitches when the men’s teams didn’t need them, and, in the university newspaper, very few of the sports articles were about women’s sport.
 There are other reasons why women’s football deserves more support. First of all, the success of women’s football has been very positive for society. It has persuaded more and more girls to take up sport, and this has had enormous benefits in terms of improving the health and raising the self-esteem of young women. Secondly, it has made young women realise that team sports are for them, and that they cannot only be participants, but they can also be knowledgeable supporters. This is good for both men’s and women’s football. The number of female supporters at men’s games is rising these days, and that’s because more and more women have played the game and fallen in love with it.
Question 43: The word "merchandise" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to.....
A. sales manager	B. selling machines
C. goods that are bought and sold	D. shop assistant
Question 44: On the flight to attend the Olympic Games.....
A. only members of the national football association had seats in business class.
B. the women’s team sat in a different section to the men’s team.
C. all Japanese football players had to sit in the economy section of the plane.
D. the members of the women’s team did not sit together.
Question 45: How is the tone of this passage?
A. advocating	B. neutral	C. critical	D. informative 
Question 46: According to the text, women’s football is good for society because.....
A. it has encouraged more girls to participate in sport.
B. more men are starting to watch women’s football.
C. there are fewer women supporters at men’s games.
D. young women think team sports are only for men.
Question 47: The writer of the text argues that female footballers.....
A. ought to work harder to raise money from ticket sales and merchandise.
B. deserve to see more of their matches on TV and reported in newspapers.
C. should earn the same as men because they show the same commitment.
D. don’t play enough matches at universities in Britain.
Question 48: According to the text, women’s football.....
A. has become increasingly popular since the 1990s.
B. is as big today as it was during the first World Cup in 1991.
C. is undoubtedly bigger than any other sport.
D. has rapidly become less popular in recent years.
Question 49: As a result of winning the 2011 World Cup, some female Japanese footballers.....
A. were chosen to represent Japan at the Olympics.	B. became very well-known in Japan.
C. moved to the US to play football.	D. joined the Japanese football association.
Question 50: The word "It" in paragraph 5 refers to......
A. more girls' taking up sport	B. support for women's football 
C. success of women’s football	D. society's attitude of women's fooball
