Gió, nước, không khí, băng và nhiệt đều hoạt động để gây xói mòn. Khi gió thổi qua vùng đất, nó thường nhặt những hạt cát nhỏ. Khi những hạt cát tấn công vào những tảng đá rắn, những tảng đá

đang dần mòn đi. Bằng cách này, các sườn đồi rất cứng đá bị mòn bởi gió.
Khi các hạt đá hoặc đất bị nới lỏng theo bất kỳ cách nào, nước chảy sẽ đưa chúng xuống sườn đồi. Một số đá và hạt đất được đưa vào suối và sau đó xuống biển.
Đất bị che phủ bởi cây cối, cỏ và các loại cây khác mòn rất chậm, và vì vậy mất rất ít đất. Rễ cây giúp giữ cho đá và đất tại chỗ. Nước rơi trên đồng cỏ chạy chậm hơn so với nước rơi trên mặt đất

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there
are a number of readily available, renewable resources that are both cost-effective and earth-friendly. Two such resources are solar power and geothermal power.
Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the needs of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy is
easily harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. In the US alone, more than 100,000 homes are equipped with solar electric systems in the
form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of the world, including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily.


Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the
earth. Hot water and steam that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which is produces electricity. Geothermal energy is 50,000
times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel resources. And as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple. A prime
example of effective geothermal use in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity where over 80 percent of private homes are heated by geothermal power.
Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional energy sources. The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of
alternative energy on global scale.
BÀI DỊCH
Trong thời kỳ tăng nóng lên toàn cầu và giảm nguồn cung cấp nhiên liệu hóa thạch, chúng ta phải bắt đầu đặt ưu tiên lớn hơn vào khai thác các nguồn năng lượng thay thế. May mắn thay, có một
số tài nguyên có sẵn, tái tạo sẵn có hiệu quả về chi phí và thân thiện với trái đất. Hai nguồn tài nguyên như vậy là năng lượng mặt trời và năng lượng địa nhiệt.
Năng lượng mặt trời, đạt tới trái đất thông qua ánh sáng mặt trời, rất dồi dào đến nỗi nó có thể đáp ứng nhu cầu tiêu thụ năng lượng trên toàn thế giới gấp 6.000 lần. Và năng lượng mặt trời dễ
dàng khai thác thông qua việc sử dụng các tế bào quang điện chuyển đổi ánh sáng mặt trời thành điện năng. Chỉ tính riêng ở Mỹ, hơn 100.000 ngôi nhà được trang bị hệ thống điện mặt trời dưới
dạng tấm pin mặt trời hoặc tấm lợp mặt trời. Và ở các nơi khác trên thế giới, bao gồm nhiều nước đang phát triển, việc sử dụng hệ thống năng lượng mặt trời đang phát triển đều đặn.
Một nguồn năng lượng thay thế khác, rất phong phú ở các khu vực địa lý cụ thể, là năng lượng địa nhiệt, tạo ra năng lượng bằng cách khai thác nhiệt từ dưới bề mặt trái đất. Nước nóng và hơi

nước bị mắc kẹt trong các bể ngầm được bơm lên bề mặt và được sử dụng để chạy một máy phát điện, tạo ra điện. Năng lượng địa nhiệt rộng hơn 50.000 lần so với toàn bộ nguồn cung cấp nhiên
liệu hóa thạch đã biết. Và như với năng lượng mặt trời, công nghệ cần thiết để sử dụng năng lượng địa nhiệt khá đơn giản. Một ví dụ điển hình về việc sử dụng địa nhiệt hiệu quả ở Iceland, một
khu vực có hoạt động địa nhiệt cao, nơi hơn 80% nhà riêng được làm nóng bằng năng lượng địa nhiệt.
Năng lượng mặt trời và địa nhiệt chỉ là hai lựa chọn thay thế có khả năng tái tạo đầy hứa hẹn cho các nguồn năng lượng thông thường. Thời gian là quá hạn để đầu tư vào sự phát triển và sử dụng
năng lượng thay thế trên quy mô toàn cầu.

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which
once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct. What is alarming about the case of the
Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal
gratification This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction Animals such as Bengal tiger as well as other endangered species are valuable



gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals, such as Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable
parts of the world’s ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival and the survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land
to animal reserves. They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support. This
money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made
from endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed.
