Part 3: Read the following passage and answer the following
questions. (1,0 pt)
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 lifetime.
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 of energy.
C. The cost of solar energy.
D. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels.
2. Which of the following is the main disadvantage of solar energy mentioned in the
passage?
A. It is expensive.

B. Solar cells require large areas to operate.

C. It is unfriendly to the environment.

D. It depends on sunlight.

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

III. Read the passage below and then choose the correct answer A, B, C or D. (1.0 pt)
Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to
become the dominant language of international communication. English as we know
it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French
that was introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English
was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as
Wales, Scotland or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries,
English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including
slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English
speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these
communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of
international business, banking and diplomacy.

Currently, about 80% of the information stored on computer systems
worldwide is in English. Two – thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and
English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports,
and air traffic controllers. Today there are more than 700 million English users in the
world, and over half of these are non-native speakers, constituting the largest number
of non-native users than any language in the world.
1. What is the main topic of this passage?
A. The number of non-native users of English
B. The French influence on the English language
C. The expansion of English as an international language
D. The use of English for science and technology
2. The word “emerged” in paragraph 1 means________.
A. appeared

B. hailed

C. frequented

D. engaged

3. Approximately, when did English begin to be used beyond England?
A. in 1066

B. around 1350

C. before 1600

D. after 1600
