Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatestpower in the world It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted It travels so easilyand with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances
To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned In Australia they use coal orwater to drive this machinery When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines withoutpolluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal
Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident A tragedy onceoccurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity The reactor leaked,which caused many deaths through radiation
Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the
environment They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays Most importantly, they hope to
trap sunlight more efficiently We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in thecapacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary When this happens, electric cars will beviable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels

Question 47: Electric magnets are used in steel works to
A lift heavy weights up to ten tons B test the steel for strength
C heat the molten steel D boil a jug of water
Question 48: The advantage of harnessing the power of the tides and of sunlight to generate electricity is
that they
A do not pollute the environment B are more reliable
C are more adaptable D do not require attention
Question 49: Which of the following power sources causes pollution by emitting harmful gases?
A Sunlight B Petrol C Water D Wind
Question 50: The best title for this passage could be

Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery hasbeen Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power It was used to drive engines and waspassed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms Petrol mixed with air was the
Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 351
Trang 18next invention that provided power Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine Beyond thesesimple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability
On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways From the powerful voltages thatdrive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electricmagnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered byelectricity An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in afurnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee
Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatestpower in the world It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted It travels so easilyand with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances
To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned In Australia they use coal orwater to drive this machinery When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines withoutpolluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal
Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident A tragedy onceoccurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity The reactor leaked,which caused many deaths through radiation
Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the
environment They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays Most importantly, they hope to
trap sunlight more efficiently We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in thecapacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary When this happens, electric cars will beviable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels

paragraph to
A suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy

C It can be made with ease D It is cheap and easy to use
Question 44: What do we call machines that make electricity?
A Generators or turbines B Voltages
C Electric magnets D Pipes and radiators
Question 45: The main forms of power used to generate electricity in Australia are
A water and coal B wind and gas
C sunlight and wind power D atomic power and water

A scientists B the tides C harmful effects D new ways
Question 47: Electric magnets are used in steel works to
A boil a jug of water B test the steel for strength
C lift heavy weights up to ten tons D heat the molten steel
Question 48: The advantage of harnessing the power of the tides and of sunlight to generate electricity is
that they

C are more adaptable D are more reliable
Question 49: Which of the following power sources causes pollution by emitting harmful gases?
A Sunlight B Petrol C Wind D Water
