IV. Read the following passage carefully, and then answer the questions below
We can develop alternative sources of energy, and unless we try, we'll never succeed. Instead of burning fossil
fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be produced from any
sources of energy.
If we didn't waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. We can save more energy by conservation
than you can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on solar energy, wind power, tidal power,
hydroelectric plans…, our fossil fuels will run out and we'll all freeze or starve to death.
Many countries are spending much more on research because energy from the sun, the waves and the wind
lasts for ever. We really won't survive unless we start working on cleaner, safer sources of energy.
1. What can electricity be produced from?
........................................................................................................................................................................................
2. What will happen unless we do research on solar energy and other alternative sources of energy?
........................................................................................................................................................................................
3. What are many countries doing?
........................................................................................................................................................................................
4. What will happen unless we start working on cleaner, safer sources of energy?
........................................................................................................................................................................................
V. Read the passage and decide if each statement below is True or False.
Energy is fundamental to human beings. Many poor people in developing countries
do not have modern sources of energy like electricity or natural gas, with which their
life can be improved.
People who live in mountainous areas have to gather wood for fuel. This takes a lot of
time. For many people living in rural areas, biogas is the largest energy resource
available. The main use of biogas is for cooking and heating, but it can also provide
energy for public transport. As biogas is smoke-free, it helps the problem of indoor air
pollution. Moreover, it is made from plant waste and animal manure. They cost almost nothing.
The tendency to use renewable energy sources in developing countries is on the increase because non-renewable
ones are running out. In the future, the wind and the sun will be used as the most important environmentally
friendly energy sources.
VOCABULARY
fundamental (adj) = essential = very important: thiết yếu
smoke-free (adj) = no smoke: ko tạo khói
tendency (n) = trend: xu hướng
renewable (adj)  can be replaced naturally and easily in short time: có thể tái tạo
non- renewable (adj)  CANNOT be replaced naturally and easily in short time: không thể tái tạo
run out = use up: hết
Statements:
1. Non-renewable sources are being used up.
2. Many poor people in developing countries do not have little electricity.
3. Biogas is a new source of energy available for poor people.
4. Biogas creates a lot of smoke.
5. The new energy source is not costly.
