read the text then answer the question that follow

Energy is very important in modern life. People use energy to run machines, heat and cool their homes, cook, give light, transport people and products from place to place. Most energy nowadays comes from fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal and natural gas. However, many people are worried about them because burning fossil fuels causes pollution. In addition, if we don’t find new kinds of energy, we will use up all the fossil fuels in the 21st century. Scientists are working to find other energy sources for the future

1. are petroleum, coal, and natural gas fossil fuels?

2. what will happen if we don't find new kinds of energy?

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 questions.

Geothermal energy is natural heat from the interior of the Earth that is converted to heat buildings and generate electricity. The idea of harnessing Earth’s internal heat is not new. As early as 1904 , geothermal power was used in Italy . Today, Earth’s natural internal heat is being used to generate electricity in 21 countries , including Russia, Japan, New Zealand, Iceland, Mexico, Ethiopia, Guatemala, EI Salvador, the Philippines, and the United States .Total worldwide production is approaching 9,000 MW (equivalent to nine large modern coal-burning or nuclear power plants)-double the amount in 1980 .Some 40 million people today receive their electricity from geothermal energy at a cost competitive with that of other energy sources. In EI Salvador , geothermal energy is supplying 30% of the total electric energy used. However, at the global level, geothermal energy supplies less than 0,15%of the total energy supply.

Geothermal energy may be considered a nonrenewable energy source when rates of extraction are greater than rates of natural replenishment. However, geothermal energy has its origin in the natural heat production within Earth , and only a small fraction of the vast total resource base is being utilized today. Although most geothermal energy production involves the tapping of high heat sources, people are also using the low-temperature geothermal energy of groundwater in some applications.

What is true about geothermal energy production worldwide?

A. Because it is a new idea, very few countries are geothermal energy sources

B. Only countries in the Southern Hemisphere are using geothermal energy on a large scale 

C. Until the cost of geothermal energy becomes competitive, it will not be used globally

D. Geothermal energy is already being used in a number of nations, but it is not yet a major source of power
