SOLAR ENERGY

Sunlight carries huge amounts of energy. You can feel the Sun’s energy when sunlight warms your skin on a summer day. To capture the Sun’s energy, scientists have developed solar cells, called photovoltaic cells. These cells convert sunlight into electricity. When sunlight hits a solar cell, some of the light energy is absorbed. This light energy causes the particles in the solar cell to move faster, and the movement of these particles creates electricity.

In some places, large panels of solar cells harvest sunshine to make electricity for homes and businesses. Solar cells have been placed on cars and appliances, too. Since the Sun sends abundant free energy streaming toward Earth 24 hours a day, people in many parts of the world, not just the sunniest places, have fixed solar cells and solar panels on the roofs of their houses or businesses to lower their energy costs. Experts say that the huge installation of solar panels in sunny regions could generate enough electricity to supply an entire country. Capturing this energy can help overcome our diminishing energy supply. New ways to capture this energy are being developed an the time to maximize efficiency.

1. What is the source of solar energy?

a. sunlight b. photovoltaic cells c. solar panels d. electricity

2. Solar cells are used __________

a. to collect energy from the sun b. to provide sunlight to houses

c. to convert sunlight into electricity d. both a and c are correct

a. Solar cells absorb all of the light energy from the sun.

b. The light energy causes the particles to move faster to make electricity.

c. Solar energy can be used to power homes and businesses only.

d. Large solar panels have been placed on cars and appliances.

4. As used in line 9, ‘abundant’ most nearly means .

a. Unlimited b. dangerous c. plentiful d. clean

5. Where have people fixed solar panels?

a. In the sunniest places b. Anywhere outside their houses

c. Inside their houses d. On the roofs of their houses

6. As used in line 14, ‘diminishing’ most nearly means .

a. Decreasing b. increasing c. unending d. restoring

7. According to the passage, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT

a. the Sun produces a large amount of energy.

b. solar energy could provide enough electricity for the whole world

c. scientists are constantly developing new ways to capture the Sun’s energy

1. The Advantages of Clean Energy Sources (Lợi ích của năng lượng sạch)

2. Comparing Different Energy Sources (So sánh các nguồn năng lượng khác nhau)

Choosing the best option for energy can be difficult. Coal power is the most popular form of energy today because coal plants aren't expensive to build. However, they can produce a lot of pollution. Other non-renewable energy sources, like natural gas, are cleaner than coal, but they still aren't good for the environment.

Countries are now moving to renewable sources of energy like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power.

Wind and solar power plants are clean and cheap to run, but they aren't cheap to build. Also, wind turbines are noisy and need windy weather to work well, and solar power doesn't work at night. Hydroelectric plants also don't cause pollution, but they can be expensive to build and affect the environment by stopping fish from moving freely. For these reasons, countries and cities usually choose a mix of energy types.

Read the text then answer the questions. (Đọc và trả lời câu hỏi)

Dear guests, I’d like to talk to you today about renewable and non-renewable energy. Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources. They include oil, coal, and natural gas. They can be used to create energy, generate electricity, or drive big machinery. Unfortunately, they are harmful to the environment. Viet Nam still relies mostly on non-renewable energy sources, however, hydro power is increasingly used here too.

Hydro and nuclear power can generate a great deal of energy. They are renewable and plentiful. However, hydro power is limited because dams cannot be built in certain areas. Nuclear power can provide enough electricity for the world’s needs, but it is dangerous. The sun and the wind are other alternative sources of energy. The wind turns turbines to

make electricity. Solar power can be converted into electricity. It can be used to heat or cool our houses. Although there are some disadvantages, these alternative energy sources can offer abundant amounts of clean, safe electricity. They will be valued more and more in the future in Viet Nam.

1.How many types of energy sources are mentioned in the text? What are they?

2.What are the disadvantages of hydro and nuclear power?

3.Why do you think the wind and the sun are called alternative sources of energy?

4.What types of energy does Viet Nam use most?

5.What does the professor think Viet Nam will use more in the future?
