Ausubel of Rockefeller University in New York, US. says the key renewable energy sources,
including sun, wind and biofuels, would all require vast (31) ______ of land if developed up to large
scale production – unlike nuclear power. That land would be far better left alone, he says.
Renewables look attractive when they are quite small. But if we start producing renewable energy
on a large scale, the fallout is going to be horrible. Instead, Ausubel argues (32) ______ renewed
development of nuclear.
Ausubel draws his conclusions by analysing the amount of energy renewables, natural gas
and nuclear can produce in terms of power per square metre of land used. Moreover, he claims that
as renewable energy use increases, this measure of efficiency will (33) ______ as the best land for
wind, biofuels, and solar power gets used up.
Using biofuels to obtain the same amount of energy as a 1000 megawatt nuclear power plant
would require 2500 square kilometres of farm land, Ausubel says. “We should be sparing land for
nature, not using it as pasture for cars and trucks,” he adds.
Solar power is much more efficient than biofuel in terms of the area of land (34) ______, but it
would still require 150 square kilometres of photovoltaic cells to (35) ______ the energy production
of the 1000 MW nuclear plant. In another example, he says meeting the 2005 US electricity demand
via wind power alone would need 780,000 square kilometres, an area the size of Texas.

indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 36
to 42.
Carbon monoxide poisoning kills and injures many people and animals around the world. The
gas has been a problem since people first began burning fuels to cook food or to create heat. It is a
problem in all parts of the world that experience cold weather.
Carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because people do not know it is in the air. The gas
has no color. It has no taste. It has no smell. It does not cause burning eyes. And it does not cause
people to cough. But it is very deadly. It robs the body of its ability to use oxygen.
Carbon monoxide decreases the ability of the blood to carry oxygen to body tissues. It does

this by linking with the blood. When the gas links with the blood, the blood is no longer able to carry
oxygen to the tissues that need it.
Damage to the body can begin very quickly from large amounts of carbon monoxide. How
quickly this happens depends on the length of time a person is breathing the gas and the amount of
the gas he or she breathes in.
Bộ đề thi thử THPT môn Tiếng Anh 2017

Carbon monoxide poisoning has warning signs. But people have to be awake to recognize
them. Small amounts of the gas will cause a person’s head to hurt. He or she may begin to feel
tired. The person may feel sick. The room may appear to be turning around. The person may have
trouble thinking clearly. People develop severe head pain as the amount of gas continues to enter
their blood. They will begin to feel very tired and sleepy. They may have terrible stomach pains.
Medical experts say carbon monoxide affects people differently. For example, a small child will
experience health problems or die much quicker than an adult will. The general health of the person
or his or her age can also be important. An older adult with health problems may suffer the effects
of carbon monoxide more quickly than a younger person with no health problems. People with heart
disease may suffer chest pains. They may begin to have trouble breathing.

William Henry Gates III (Bill) was born on October 28, 1955, in Seattle, Washington. Bill was
the second of three children in an upper-middle class family. He enjoyed playing games with the
family and was very competitive. He also loved to read. Bill became bored in public school so his

family sent him to Lakeside School, a private school, where he excelled in math and science and did
well in drama and English.
Gates became interested in computer programming when he was 13, during the era of giant
mainframe computers. His school held a fund-raiser to purchase a teletype terminal so students
could use computer time that was donated by General Electric. Using this time, Gates wrote a tictac-toe program using BASIC, one of the first computer languages. Later he created a computer
version of Risk, a board game he liked in which the goal is world domination. At Lakeside, Bill met
Paul Allen, who shared his interest in computers. Gates and Allen and two other students hacked
into a computer belonging to Computer Center Corporation (CCC) to get free computer time but
were caught. After a period of probation, they were allowed back in the computer lab when they
offered to fix glitches in CCC’s software. At age 17, Gates and Allen were paid $20,000 for a
program called Traf-O-Data that was used to count traffic.
In early 1973, Bill Gates served as a congressional page in the U.S. House of Representatives.
He scored 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT and was accepted by Harvard University. Steve Ballmer,
who became CEO of Microsoft after Bill retired, was also a Harvard student. Meanwhile, Paul Allen
dropped out of Washington College to work on computers at Honeywell Corporation and convinced
Gates to drop out of Harvard and join him in starting a new software company in Albuquerque, New

Mexico. They called it Micro-Soft. This was soon changed to Microsoft, and they moved their
company to Bellevue, Washington.
In 1980, IBM, one of the largest technology companies of the era, asked Microsoft to write
software to run their new personal computer, the IBM PC. Microsoft kept the licensing rights for the
operating system (MS-DOS) so that they earned money for every computer sold first by IBM, and
later by all the other companies that made PC computers. Microsoft grew quickly from 25
employees in 1978 to over 90,000 today. Over the years, Microsoft developed many new
technologies and some of the world’s most popular software and products such as Word and Power
Point. Although some have criticized Gates for using questionable business practices, he built
Microsoft into one of the largest companies in the world. He has been described as brilliant but
childlike, driven, competitive, intense, fun, but lacking in empathy.

Bill Gates is one of the richest men in the world. In 2012, his $61 billion dollars in assets made
him the world’s second richest man according to Forbes Magazine. In 2006, Gates announced that
he would cut back his involvement at Microsoft to spend more time on philanthropy and his
foundation. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation supports many causes including the quest to
eradicate Polio, fighting AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis; providing vaccinations for children; and
even reinventing the toilet among many other things.
