In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a
greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there are a number of readily
available, renewable resources that are both cost- effective and earth – friendly. Two such resources are
solar power and geothermal power. Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant
that it could meet the needs of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy is
easily harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. In the US alone,
more than 100, 000 homes are equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar
roof tiles. And in other parts of the world, including many developing countries, the use of solar system is
growing steadily.
Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal
power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth. Hot water and steam
that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which is
produces electricity. Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of
fossil fuel resources. And as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly
simple. A prime example of effective geothermal use is in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity
where over 80 percent of private homes are heated by geothermal power. Solar and geothermal energy are
just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional energy sources. The time is long overdue to
invest in the development and use of alternative energy on global scale.
Câu 20: The word prime in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.
A. minor
B. trivial
C. major
D. slight
Câu 21: What is the main topic of this passage?
A. Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized.

B. How energy resources are tapped from nature.
C. The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources.
D. Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide.
Câu 22: What best describes the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To convince people of the benefits of developing alternative energy sources.
B. To outline the problems and solutions connected with global warming.
C. To describe the advantages and disadvantages of alternative energy use.
D. To warn people about the hazards of fossil fuel use.
Câu 23: According to the passage, what can be inferred about solar roof tiles?

production?

B. Because they are free and available worldwide.
C. Because fossil fuels are no longer available.
D. Because global warming has increased the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth.

MICKEY MANTLE
Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He played for the New York
Yankees in their years of glory. From the time Mantle began to play professionally in 1951 to his last year
in 1968, baseball was the most popular game in the United States. For many people, Mantle symbolized
the hope, prosperity, and confidence of America at that time.
Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both right-handed and lefthanded. He won game after game, one World Series championship after another, for his team. He was a
wonderful athlete, but this alone cannot explain America’s fascination with him. Perhaps it was because
he was a handsome, red-haired country boy, the son of a poor miner from Oklahoma. His career, from the
lead mines of the West to the heights of success and fame, was a fairy-tale version of the American dream.
Or perhaps it was because America always loves a “natural”: a person who wins without seeming to try,
whose talent appears to come from an inner grace. That was Mickey Mantle.
But like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of problems. He played
without complaint despite constant pain from injuries. He lived to fulfill his father’s dreams and drank to
forget his father’s early death. It was a terrible addiction that finally destroyed his body. It gave him
cirrhosis of the liver and accelerated the advance of liver cancer. Even when Mickey Mantle had turned
away from his old life and warned young people not to follow his example, the destructive process could

not be stopped.
Despite a liver transplant operation that had all those who loved and admired him hoping for a
recovery, Mickey Mantle died of cancer at the age of 63.

A. hit with the bat on either side of his body
