In the future, maybe all cars that run on petrol will be replaced by solar cars, which have been around
for a while, but with recent developments in solar car design and the measurement of photovoltaic cells
becoming smaller, the dream of a truly efficient solar car is more reality than fantasy. A solar car is a
vehicle powered by photovoltaic cells, also called solar cells, which convert sunlight (light energy) into
electrical energy. As a source of energy on earth, there is nothing like the sun: in a mere one thousandth of
one second, the sun emits enough energy to fulfill our planet's energy needs for the next 5,000 years. It is a
staggering fact, and an exciting one. Since the energy from the sun is responsible for renewable resources
such as wind, tides, and heat, solar energy seems to offer the brightest future for not only cars, but for the
entire energy crisis. Despite the appearance that solar energy may be the least feasible among the current
crop of alternative fuel propositions, new solar powered devices and more specifically solar powered cars
are beginning to be developed. How do Solar. Cars work?

<b>Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the</b>
<b>correct word for each of the blanks.</b>


In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their
workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied
jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes workers’
life more enjoyable, it does not actually make them work harder. As far as increasing productivity is
concerned, the variety is not an important factor. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do
his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of
freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used
in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done
to creat it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is
making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now
experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker
contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of
worker’s contribution an important factor, but it is also one we can do something about. To what extent
more money led to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But
perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy
their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we
succeed in making their jobs more enjoyable, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working
hours be so important to them.


<b>Câu 33: Which of the following is not mentioned as a factor leading to greater productivity?</b>
A. Making jobs more varied. B. More money and shorter working hours.
C. Degrees of work contribution. D. Modern and complicated machinery.

D. more money and shorter working hours will not be so concerned
<b>Câu 36: In this passage, the author tries to tell us .</b>


A. how to make workers more comfortable

jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes workers’
life more enjoyable, it does not actually make them work harder. As far as increasing productivity is
concerned, the variety is not an important factor. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do
his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of
freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used
in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done
to creat it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is
making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now
experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker
contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of


worker’s contribution an important factor, but it is also one we can do something about. To what extent
more money led to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But
perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy
their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we
succeed in making their jobs more enjoyable, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working
hours be so important to them.

In the future, maybe all cars that run on petrol will be replaced by solar cars, which have been around
for a while, but with recent developments in solar car design and the measurement of photovoltaic cells
becoming smaller, the dream of a truly efficient solar car is more reality than fantasy. A solar car is a
vehicle powered by photovoltaic cells, also called solar cells, which convert sunlight (light energy) into
electrical energy. As a source of energy on earth, there is nothing like the sun: in a mere one thousandth of
one second, the sun emits enough energy to fulfill our planet's energy needs for the next 5,000 years. It is a
staggering fact, and an exciting one. Since the energy from the sun is responsible for renewable resources
such as wind, tides, and heat, solar energy seems to offer the brightest future for not only cars, but for the
entire energy crisis. Despite the appearance that solar energy may be the least feasible among the current
crop of alternative fuel propositions, new solar powered devices and more specifically solar powered cars
are beginning to be developed. How do Solar. Cars work?


The photo-voltaic cells absorb photons from sunlight. This action generates heat, which the cells then
convert into electrical energy and stores in an on-board battery. This process of conversion is called the
photovoltaic effect. Not surprisingly, such a vehicle has zero emissions, and is very environmentally
friendly. Unfortunately, at the moment photovoltaic cells are extremely inefficient, yet as time progresses
the efficiency of these cells will grow. This will make solar energy and solar cars the fuel and car of the
future-a closer reality.


<b>Câu 30: A solar car is supplied power from _______.</b>


A. photovoltaic cells B. electricity C. petrol D. gas
<b>Câu 31: Which cannot help us to solve the problem of energy crisis?</b>


A. tide B. heat from the moon C. the sun D. wind


<b>Câu 32: According to the text, _______</b>


A. solar energy plans are more feasible than wind energy plans
B. besides solar car, we have also developed solar powered device


C. no powered solar devices have been developed so far


D. tide can supply more energy than the sun
<b>Câu 33: According to the text, _______.</b>


A. up to now, we have designed some solar cars
B. solar cars have been very .popular for many years
C. we have not produced any solar cars yet


D. solar cars are not as much appreciated as other kinds of car
