Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain times of the year, for example,

strawberries in June and turnips in winter. I like my childhood with the seasons. We also made

most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh, so it must be

III. Read the following passage and answer the following questions.

Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To

generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be

installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their

own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages.

Wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down.

Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require

little maintenance and have a long lifetime.

However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy

during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large

area to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice

as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are

expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more

people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy.

36. What does the passage primarily discuss?

A. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.

B. Solar energy's advantages over other sources of energy.

C. The cost of solar energy.

D. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels.

37. What does the word they in line 4 refer to?

A. solar energy users. B. other renewable resources.

C. advantages. D. solar cells.

38. What is NOT mentioned as an advantage of solar cells?

A. They require little maintenance. B. They are non-polluting.

C. They cost little to produce. D. They operate quietly.

39. Which of the following is the main disadvantage of solar energy mentioned in the

passage?

A. It is expensive. B. Solar cells require large areas to operate.

C. It is unfriendly to the environment. D. It depends on sunlight.

40. What does the word advantages in line 12 mean?

A. very bad. B. resources C. benefits D. friendly

Television and Kids

Television is very popular and even has some benefits for kids. It helps very young

children learn the letters of the alphabet, and helps other kids learn about science, cultures,

and world events.

However, researchers show that too much TV is bad for children. For one thing, there is

a link between watching more than four hours of TV a day and being overweight. For

another thing, many TV shows are violent and upsetting. Watching these shows may cause

kids to be more fearful. And of course, more time in front of the TV means less time to

study. Too much TV may also be the cause of lower grades.

Experts do not agree on the solution to these problems. Some say that kids should watch

only educational programs; others say kids should watch no TV at all. And others suggest

teaching them to watch TV as occasional entertainment, not as an everyday hobby.

III. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question .

One of the most devastating forces on Earth is a hurricane. A hurricane begins as a tropical

storm. The storm winds blow in circles around a center, called the "eye." Gradually, the

winds get stronger and stronger. A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when the winds are

120 kilometers per hour or more.

The word "hurricane" comes from Huracan, an evil god of a Central American Indian tribe.

In other parts of the world, hurricanes are known by different names. In East Asia, they are

usually called typhoons, from the Chinese tai-feng, meaning "great wind." In Bangladesh,

Pakistan, India, and Australia, they are known as cyclones. Finally, in the Philippines, they

are called baguios.

Few things in nature have as much power as hurricanes. They can destroy coastal areas with

heavy rains and winds of 250 kilometers per hour or more. Sometimes a hurricane causes

14

the ocean to flood onto land in an event called a storm surge. The total power of a hurricane

may be equal to 10,000 nuclear bombs.
