Almost all our energy comes from oil, coal and natural gas. We call them fossil fuels. The earth’s
fossil fuels are running out. What would happen if there were no oil, coal and gas on earth?
Scientists are trying to find and use other alternative sources of energy. We can use energy
from the sun, the wind and the water.
Solar energy is unlimited. It supplies all the energy used to grow plants, to evaporate water for
rain, and to maintain the temperature of the planet. All are necessary for human life. If we’re able to
collect solar energy, we’ll be sure to make good use of this abundant source of power.
Another source of energy from nature is the wind. Wind power is clean and plentiful. Energy
from the wind has been used for centuries to move ships, grind grain, pump water and do other kinds
of work. In more recent time, wind power has been used to generate electricity.
Water can also provide power. For a long time, people have used water to power machines.
Some early uses of water power were to mill grain, saw wood and power machinery for the textile
industry. Today water power is mostly used to generate electricity.
11. We are asking the question “What would happen if there were no oil, coal and gas on earth?” because ___.
A. we are now depending so much on fossil fuels.
B. we are looking forward to seeing great changes.
C. we are looking for other alternative sources of energy.
D. other sources of energy can come from the sun, the wind and the water.
12. Which of the following can NOT be used as alternative sources of energy?
A. coal/gas B. the sun/the water
C. the sun/the wind D. solar energy/nuclear power
13. Centuries ago, people used wind power to ___.
A. maintain the earth’s temperature B. get water from underground
C. grow plants D. generate electricity
14. Up till now, water energy has been used for ___.
A. similar purposes C. the textile industry
B. moving ships D. different purposes

15. The word “plentiful” in line 8 mostly means ___.
A. fresh B. natural C. available D. limited

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question.
Predictions about the Cities of the Future
Cities are built to survive and prosper. Over the years, we have learned to transform our surroundings according to our needs. We have cut through mountains to make more land and created artificial islands to make skyscrapers. City planning, as an organized profession, has existed for less than a century. However, a considerable amount of evidence (both archaeological and historical) proves the existence of fully planned cities in ancient times. Over the years, humans have made some mistakes in terms of using an excessive amount of resources for cities. This gives rise to the question of how sustainable the cities of the future would be. We might be looking at smart cities in which street lights would only switch on when you are close by and traffic light would be eliminated by smart driving. The cities of the future would try to save our resources rather than deplete them. An example of an advanced city is Kansas. Plans are in place to make Kansas a smart futuristic city in the future. Planners are considering introducing sensors to monitor the water mains. Warning would be issued to city officials when the infrastructure requires repair or replacement. In this way, the city would never be at risk of having broken pipes. While the idea sounds fantastic, a large amount of rational critique has called this plan an oversold dream. Amy Glasmier is an urban planning professor at MIT. She is a smart city skeptic who believes that all the research and talk is great but gravely oversold.
Question: All of the following statements may be true about smart cities EXCEPT that ______.
A. street lights automatically switch on when necessary
B. traffic light would be controlled by smart driving
C. smart driving wouldn’t need traffic light
D. cities in the future would conserve energy
Đáp án:
Tất cả các câu sau đây có thể đúng về các thành phố thông minh NGOẠI TRỪ ______.
A. đèn đường tự động bật khi cần thiết
B. đèn giao thông sẽ được kiểm soát bởi lái xe thông minh
C. lái xe thông minh sẽ không cần đèn giao thông
D. các thành phố trong tương lai sẽ bảo tồn năng lượng
Thông tin: We might be looking at smart cities in which street lights would only switch on when you are close by and traffic light would be eliminated by smart driving.
eliminate: loại bỏ
Tạm dịch: Chúng tôi có thể nhìn vào các thành phố thông minh, trong đó đèn đường sẽ chỉ bật khi bạn ở gần và đèn giao thông sẽ bị loại bỏ nhờ việc lái xe thông minh.
=> All of the following statements may be true about smart cities EXCEPT that traffic light would be controlled by smart driving.
