A. Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
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 (.001), it 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. Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
If you want to make your school green, think beyond your classrooms. Here are some suggestions that are
all easy and simple to follow, and can make a big difference in reducing your carbon footprint and creating a
sustainable community.
One of the places where both teachers and students often spend some of their time is the library. An eco-
friendly reading space is likely to create a favourable impression on library users, and bring some significant
educational benefits. For example, you can install energy-saving products like fans instead of air-conditioners
which consume a lot of energy. You can also use biodegradable dust cloths or old T-shirts to clean the
environment. In addition, to raise public awareness, allocate a clearly visible space on the noticeboard for everyday
green tips like ‘Let others reuse your book'.
Sporty students may prefer to spend more time in the swimming pool than in the library. Therefore, keeping
this place safe and green will also help to raise their environmental awareness. Remember that chlorinated pool
water may cause red eyes and itchy skin to some people if they spend much time in the pool. An ideal alternative
would be a salt-water pool, which can be naturally clean and economical. In case warm water is required, think of
solar heating to save the environment as one pool with gas or electric heater may emit tons of carbon dioxide each
year.
Finally, focus on the school gym, which is perhaps the most interactive and exciting place for all school
staff. Think of installing low-flow taps and showers to save gallons of water per minute and energy-saving lights to
cut the cost of electricity. Moreover, make sure that the airflow pathways are clear and free of mould, mildew and
other allergens.
Question 8. What do you think is the best title for the text?
A. How to make your community green B. Ways to raise students' awareness of enviroment.
C.How to make your school green D. How to make your family green
Question 9. Which energy-saving product is NOT mentioned in the text?
A. Fans B. Solar heating
C. Energy-efficient windows D. low-flow taps and showers
Question 10. Where may sporty students prefer to spend more time ?
A. in the swimming pool B. in the library
C. in the house D. in the classroom
Question 11. What can best replace the word “sustainable” in the paragraph?
A. polluted B. green C. endanger D. disappointed
Question 12. The word “their” in paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A. Sporty students B. red eyes C. allergens D. public
C. Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the word or phrase that best fits each
of the numbered blanks.
