Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate
solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs, so no
new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other
renewable sources, they also possess many advantages. Wind and water power rely on turbines which are
noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no
moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long life time.
However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy during daytime
because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to work effectively. The
main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as traditional sources such as coal,
oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will
reduce as more and more people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy.
1. What does the passage primarily discuss?
A.Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
B.Solar energy’s advantages over other sources ofenergy.
C.The cost of solar energy.
D. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels
2. What does the word they in line 4 refer to?
A. solar energy users. B. other renewable resources. C. advantages. D. solar cells.
3. What is NOT mentioned as an advantage of solar cells?
A. They require little maintenance. B.They are non-polluting.
C. They cost little to produce. D. They operate quietly.
4. Which of the following is NOT a traditional source of energy?
A.solar energy B. oil C. coal D. gas
5.What does the word advantages in line 12 mean ?
A. very bad B. resources C. benefit D.friendly

Computing is now at the same stage as printing was when the first printing presses were
used. Before printing presses were invented, only rich people like kings and dukes could afford to
buy books. Often these people were unable to read and hadn’t enough time to learn. In any case,
the books were so big that it was difficult for anyone to relax with a book as we do today. They
wanted booked because they were expensive and there was something magical about them. Only a
few people were able to write, and it took an extremely long time to write a book. Monks and
other people who could write said ordinary people could not learn to read.
The position with computers is very similar today. A few years ago, computers were very
large and expensive. Business managers and rich people ordered them but they didn’t know how
to use them. In many countries, however, the situation has now completely changed. Lots of
people not only own microcomputer but also know how to use them.
