Solar power is all about harnessing the energy of the sun by (1) _______. This highly efficient
form of energy produces zero emissions, so it can significantly reduce our carbon footprint.
Moreover, solar panels are perfect for installation on a small scale, such as in private homes, since
they require very little maintenance and have a long lifespan. However, the ability to generate solar
power depends on the time of day and weather conditions. This means that solar panels are often less
useful if they are installed in places (2) .
(3) . Wind power doesn't produce any greenhouse gases, but it is not ideal for
private use since turbines require consistent care. However, wind farms can be installed on a large
scale and are able to produce electricity continuously (4) . This means that if there were
more investments in wind power, it could be a viable way to provide energy for major cities and even
for whole regions.
For now, the biggest challenge of adopting green energy is the costs (5) , but the
benefits unquestionably outweigh the downsides. If we want to stop the climate crisis and create a
better and more sustainable future, green energy sources will undoubtedly be the key.

V/ Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Most cars on the road today use gasoline as fuel. Gas is a non-renewable resource made from oil and
other fossil fuels. This means that it can run out and there will be none left. For this reason, it must be
used carefully. Gas-powered cars are environmentally harmful because they give off greenhouse
gases. Therefore, people should choose eco-friendly, or green, cars, which run partly or entirely on
electricity.
There are two kinds of power on a hybrid car, an engine runs on gas while a motor runs on electricity.
They work together to make the car run more efficiently. When it moves at average speeds, a hybrid
car is powered by a gas engine. During its movement, the car’s kinetic energy charges the battery.
When the car speeds up, it may need the help of the electric motor. Although hybrid cars mostly run
on gas, the electric motor makes them more economical on fuel. Not only that, less gas means fewer
gas emissions are produced in the process of burning fuel for energy.
An electric car runs solely on electricity. The electricity in an electric car is stored in a battery pack.
The battery, which powers a motor that turns the wheels, must be charged once the electricity runs
out. Electric cars save money on fuel, which is a huge expense compared with a small fee to charge
the battery. However, as electric cars can only go as far as their charge will take them, drivers need to
make sure they stay close to charging stations. Those who worry about running out of power often
choose hybrid options. Of course, the greenest way to travel is by walking or cycling

REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF FARMING

Farming provides us with the food that we eat every day. But farming activities also have a strong
warming impact on the global temperature. The good news is that experts have already started
thinking about how to reduce it.
Raising farm animals like cows, goats, and sheep makes the planet hotter. There are billions of them
and they release methane, a greenhouse gas that is much more dangerous than carbon dioxide. That
is why scientists are developing methane-catching face masks for cows. They are intended to reduce
methane emissions by up to 50 per cent per cow.
Another farming activity that heats the atmosphere is growing rice. According to research, emissions
from rice farms have the same warming effect as about 600 coal plants. Flooded rice fields also make
it easier for soil bacteria to produce greenhouse gases. New farming methods have allowed rice to
grow well in drier fields, limit the amount of greenhouse gases, use less water, and produce better
crops.
In addition, land-use increases the global temperature. Plants and trees use CO2 to grow and store
large amounts of carbon underground. Cutting down or burning forests to create farm fields and
land for feeding animals releases tonnes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the
atmosphere every year. Luckily, many countries and world leaders have agreed to protect the forests
and end deforestation.
In short, there are some positive signs that farmers can meet the environmental challenges. However,
although the impact of farming on the global temperature has been reduced, there is still much to do.
Question 1: The word dangerous in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.
A. risky B. remote C. silent D. secure
Question 2: The word effect in paragraph 3 could best replaced by ________.
A. habit B. sunlight C. charger D. impact
Question 3: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Flooded rice fields create conditions for soil bacteria to produce greenhouse gases more easily.
B. Deforestation for farm fields and animal grazing limits significant amounts of carbon dioxide to
release.
C. Unfortunately, experts do not consider seeking ways to reduce the effects of global warming.
D. Farm animals store methane, a greenhouse gas significantly more harmful than carbon dioxide.
Question 4: The word them in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. farm animals B. scientists C. face masks D. methane emissions

5
Question 5: "According to the passage, what do new farming methods help achieve?"
A. They increase the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and use more water for farming.
B. They help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve water, and yield higher-quality crops.
C. They support the expansion of farmland and create new grazing areas for livestock.
D. They promote deforestation and reduce carbon storage in the soil.
Question 6: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Clearing forests for farming and grazing releases significant greenhouse gases annually.
B. Deforestation for farming activities contributes to the annual release of vast amounts of
greenhouse gases.
C. Burning forests for agricultural land significantly increases carbon emissions each year.
D. Clearing forests to expand farmland results in a yearly rise in greenhouse gas levels.
Question 7: In which paragraph does the writer discuss the contribution of farm animals to global
warming?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
Question 8: In which paragraph does the writer highlight the commitment of countries and world
leaders to end deforestation?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
