V. Read the passage and choose one correct answer for each question.
Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world's energy resources
are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them economically and
try to find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Marvin Burnham of the New England
Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear power is
the only alternative.
However, many people don't approve of using nuclear power because it is very dangerous. What would
happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect the future
generations. The most effective thing is that we should use natural resources as economically as possible.
1. According to the passage, using nuclear power is ________
A. dangerous B. interesting C. safe D. cheap
2. Radioactivity from nuclear power ________
A. the future generations do nothing with it
B. alters a new kind of energy
C. are necessary to cure diseases
D. causes cancer and has bad effect on the future generations
3. How much fuel is left?
A. No one know exactly B. Let's use it as much as we would like
C. It will never be used up D. There is a lot of fuel
4. We should use coal, oil and gas ________
A. as economically as possible B. carelessly
C. as much as possible D. all are incorrect
5. According to Professor Marvin Burnham, ________
A. Nuclear power is the only alternative coal, oil and gas and we have to conserve are incorrect
B. Nuclear power is the only alternative coal, oil and gas
C. We have to conserve
D. Nuclear power is the only alternative coal, oil and gas and we have to conserve are correct

ENERGY: It is the ability to do work. We use energy every day in many different ways. It is essential for our
lives. The gas we use to make a cup of coffee for breakfast is energy, the petrol in the bus that brings us to
school is energy, the electricity that we use to give us light is energy, the battery that powers our mobile
phone is energy. But where does this energy come from?
SOURCES OF ENERGY
Sources of energy are divided into 2 groups, Renewable energy and Non-renewable energy.
Renewable energy is a source which can be replenished and is always available. It continues to be available for
use by humans indefinitely
Non-renewable energy is a source which cannot be replenished and eventually it will be used up. It disappear
after the use and can’t be used again.
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
[DAY 14 – HANDOUT – 7A] April 21, 2021
WIND ENERGY is a good example of renewable energy. It is the transformation of wind energy into electricity,
using wind turbines. Wind turbines are normally grouped together in windy locations to form wind farms.
Nowadays, many countries are developing wind energy, in fact the electricity produced by wind power is
increased by more than 40% in recent years. This production only represents 1% of world-wide electricity use.
The world’s largest offshore wind turbines are in Great Britain. The turbines are 70 meters high and provide
electricity for 3,000 houses.
SOLAR ENERGY – Hot water solar panels
Solar energy is widely used today in many countries, many governments around the world are trying to
encourage this alternative energy source. It comes from the sun. this energy will exist as long as the sun exists
Exercise 1: Fill in the grid by using the following words: oil, wind, solar, coal, natural gas, geothermal, ocean,
biomass, nuclear, hydroelectric, tidal, wood

BÀI READING CUỐI
Ruins the landscape, injure birds, do not pollute the air, can be noisy, only work in windy countries, last a long
time.
Solar panels don’t work at night, in winter there is less sunshine and so less energy, there are no fuel costs, it
doesn’t pollute, in cooler areas solar panels can’t produce very hot water, it is safe, it is easy to use, the panels
take up a lot of space
Very efficient, more and more difficult to find new reserves, easy to transport, expensive, produces a lot of air
pollution, relatively safe
