Wind power is a renewable energy source that harnesses the natural movement
of air to generate electricity. Large wind turbines, typically placed in areas with
strong and consistent winds, convert kinetic energy into mechanical power,
which is then transformed into electrical energy through a generator. Unlike
fossil fuels, wind power does not produce harmful emissions, making it an
environmentally friendly alternative for electricity production.
The efficiency of wind power depends on factors such as wind speed, turbine
design, and location. Offshore wind farms tend to be more productive than
onshore ones because wind speeds are generally higher over water. However,
setting up offshore wind farms requires more advanced technology and higher
costs compared to land-based installations. Despite these challenges, many
countries are investing in wind power to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and
combat climate change.
Wind energy has some drawbacks, including noise pollution and its impact on
bird populations. Additionally, because wind is an intermittent energy source,
it cannot always provide a constant supply of electricity without storage
solutions like batteries. Nevertheless, ongoing technological advancements aim
to improve wind power efficiency and address these challenges, making it an
increasingly important component of the global energy mix.
39. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The environmental effects of fossil fuels
B. The advantages and challenges of wind power
C. The development of offshore wind farms
D. The impact of wind power on wildlife
40. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. The cost of setting up offshore wind farms
B. The role of wind turbines in generating electricity
C. The economic benefits of wind power
D. The environmental impact of wind energy
41. The word "intermittent" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. unpredictable B. constant C. strong D. renewable
42. What does the word "it" in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Electricity B. Wind power
C. Noise pollution D. Bird populations
43. Where are wind speeds generally higher?
A. In cities B. On land C. Over water D. Near mountains
44. Why are some countries investing in wind power?
A. To increase noise pollution
B. To reduce reliance on fossil fuels
C. To improve bird populations
D. To eliminate all energy challenges
45. What is one way to address wind power's intermittency issue?
A. Relying only on offshore wind farms
B. Using battery storage solutions
C. Installing more fossil fuel plants
D. Avoiding wind power altogether
