II. Đọc đoạn văn sau và chọn một đáp án đúng trong số A, B, C hoặc D.
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.
36. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The ways and places to install solar cells.
B. The differences between solar energy and others.
C. The advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
D. The requirements for the installation of solar cells.
37. In which place can solar energy be used?
A. Almost anywhere D. Only on house roofs
C. Only in new space D. In some large areas
38. The word “they” in line 6 refers to ______.
A. renewable sources B. solar cells C. house roofs D. turbines
39. According to the passage, we can only generate solar energy during daytime because this system
depends on ______.
