the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 37
knowledge gamed during his travels as the basis for his early novels In 1837, at the age of eighteen, Melville slimed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to Liverpool, England His experiences on this trip served as a basis for the novel Redburn (1849) In
1841 Melville set out on a whaling ship headed for the South Seas After jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea This South Sea island sojourn was a backdrop to
frigate that was returning to the eastern United States around Cape Horn The novel White-Jacket (1850) describes this lengthy voyage as a navy seaman With the publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal following among readers eager for his tales of exotic places and situations However, in 1851, with the publication of Moby Dick, Melville's popularity
started to diminish Moby Dick, on one level the saga of the hunt for the great white whale, was also a heavily symbolic allegory of the heroic struggle of humanity against the universe The public was not ready for Melville's literary metamorphosis from romantic adventure to philosophical symbolism It
is ironic that the novel that served to diminish Melville's popularity during his lifetime is the one for which he is best known today
Trang 4A. he had unofficially left his ship
B. he was on leave while his ship was in port
C. he had finished his term of duty
D. he had received permission to take a vacation in Tahiti
A a romantic adventure
B. a single-faceted work
C. a short story about a whale
D. symbolic of humanity fighting the environment
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 from 38 to 45 SMART ENERGY 1 The next few decades will see great changes in the way energy is supplied and used In some
major oil producing nations, 'peak oil' has already been reached, and there are increasing fears of
global warming Consequently, many countries are focusing on the switch to a low carbon economy
This transition will lead to major changes in the supply and use of electricity Firstly, there will be an
increase in overall demand, as consumers switch from oil and gas to electricity to power their homes
and vehicles Secondly, there will be an increase in power generation, not only in terms of how much
is generated, but also how it is generated, as there is growing electricity generation from renewable
sources To meet these challenges, countries are investing in Smart Grid technology This system aims
to provide the electricity industry with a better understanding of power generation and demand, and to
use this information to create a more efficient power network 2 Smart Grid technology basically involves the application of a computer system to the electricity
network The computer system can be used to collect information about supply and demand and
improve engineer's ability to manage the system With better information about electricity demand,
the network will be able to increase the amount of electricity delivered per unit generated, leading to
potential reductions in fuel needs and carbon emissions Moreover, the computer system will assist in
reducing operational and maintenance costs 3 Smart Grid technology offers benefits to the consumer too They will be able to collect
real-time information on their energy use for each appliance Varying tariffs throughout the day will give customers the incentive to use appliances at times when supply greatly exceeds demand, leading
to great reductions in bills For example, they may use their washing machines at night Smart meters
can also be connected to the internet or telephone system, allowing customers to switch appliances on
or off remotely Furthermore, if houses are fitted with the apparatus to generate their own power,
appliances can be set to run directly from the on-site power source, and any excess can be sold to the grid
Trang 54 With these changes comes a range of challenges The first involves managing the supply and demand Sources of renewable energy, such as wind, wave and solar, are notoriously unpredictable, and nuclear power, which is also set to increase as nations switch to alternative energy sources, is inflexible With oil and gas, it is relatively simple to increase the supply of energy to match the increasing demand during peak times of the day or year With the sources of renewable energy, this is far more difficult, and may lead to blackouts or system collapse Potential solutions include investigating new and efficient ways to store energy and encouraging consumers to use electricity at off-peak times
5 A second problem is the fact that many renewable power generation sources are located in
infrastructure New infrastructures therefore must be built Thankfully, with improved smart technology, this can be done more efficiently by reducing the reinforcement or construction costs
6 Although Smart Technology is still in its infancy, pilot schemes to promote and test it have already started Consumers are currently testing the new smart meters which can be used in their homes to manage electricity use There are also a number of demonstrations being planned to show how the smart technology could practically work, and trials are in place to test the new electrical infrastructure It is likely that technology will be added in 'layers', starting with 'quick win' methods which will provide initial carbon savings, to be followed by more advanced systems at a later date Cities are prime candidates for investment into smart energy, due to the high population density and high energy use It is here where Smart Technology is likely to be promoted first, utilising a range of sustainable power sources, transport solutions and an infrastructure for charging electrically powered vehicles The infrastructure is already changing fast By the year 2050, changes in the energy supply will have transformed our homes, our roads and our behaviour
