the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Powering the Future
As we continue to face the impacts of climate change, having a green environment (1)___________.
To achieve this, the world is shifting towards green energy, and two particular types of energy at the
centre of this movement are solar power and wind power.
Solar power is all about harnessing the energy of the sun by using solar panels to convert sunlight
into usable electricity. 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. (2)__________. This means that solar panels are often less useful it they are installed in
places where sunny weather is not typical.
Wind power, on the other hand, involves converting the energy of the wind into electricity using
large turbines. 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 regardless of the time of day. This means that if there were
(3)_________, it could be a viable way to provide energy for major cities and even for whole
regions.
Wind and solar power contribute significantly to a green environment by reducing our reliance on
fossil fuels, (4)__________. Additionally, using renewable energy sources helps promote spending
on sustainable development by creating new career opportunities in the green energy sector.
For now, the biggest challenge of adopting green energy is the costs associated with installation and
infrastructure, but the benefits unquestionably outweigh the downsides. If we want to stop the climate
crisis and create a better and more sustainable future, (5)__________.
Question 1.
A. offering significant benefits to our society and the environment
B. has become increasingly important to the future of our society
C. enhance residents’quality of life and living standard
D. which has become a critical issue in the future of our society
Question 2.
A. Depending on the time of day and weather conditions, solar energy is only available in rich
countries
B. Therefore, the ability to generate solar power depends on the time of day and weather conditions
C. Despite depending on the time of day and weather conditions, solar energy is available in many
countries
D. However, the ability to generate solar power depends on the time of day and weather conditions
Question 3.
A. more investments in wind power B. the most investments in wind power
C. the most investments on wind power D. more investments on wind power

B. helping us cut down on pollution and slowing climate change
C. helping us cut down on pollution and slow climate change
D. to help individuals cut down on pollution and slowing climate change

C. green energy improves people's quality of life
D. green energy sources will undoubtedly be the key
VII/ Read the following passage and choose A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer.
People may think that food choice is only important for keeping a healthy weight. However, the way
we eat and the food choices we make every day also have a big impact on the environment.
Food production is a major contributor to climate change. The process of growing, manufacturing,
and transporting food, especially meat and dairy products, involves the use of fossil fuels. We all
4
know that burning fossil fuels releases a huge amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. All the
ingredients for our meals require land, water, and energy to produce, so the food we choose can either
increase or decrease our carbon footprint. In addition, transporting food over long distances can
create more greenhouse gas emissions.
So what should we do? We should start by eating local and organic food. This can not only limit the
amount of carbon dioxide produced during transportation, but can also help us avoid pesticides that
are harmful to both humans and the environment. We should also choose a healthier diet with less
animal-based food and more vegetables. Raising livestock for food requires huge amounts of water
and grain, and can cause deforestation and pollution. Cows and sheep release methane as they digest
plants and grass. Although it is shorter lived than carbon dioxide, methane is a lot more powerful
than carbon dioxide at warming the Earth.
That is why we should try to eat less red meat and dairy products. Making responsible food choices
will not only improve our health and well-being, but will also have a positive impact on the
environment.
1. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Food choices for a healthy diet B. How food choices can affect the environment
C. The negative effects of eating red meat D. The process of producing dairy products
2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2 as a contributor to the carbon footprint
of our food?
A. Food production requires land, water, and energy.B. Food production requires the use of fossil
fuels.
C. Food transportation creates greenhouse gas emissions. D. Food waste in landfills emits methane.
3. The word “manufacturing” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A. inventing B. producing C. packing D. processing
4. The word 'it' in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. methane B. sheep C. pollution D. Earth
5. Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the passage?
A. Carbon emissions will be lower if we choose to eat local food.
B. A lot of water is used for raising animals.
C. Methane emitted from cows and sheep is the main cause of global warming.
D. Eating less red meat can be good for your health.
In recent years, there has been a significant trend among young people to live green. This
movement focuses on making choices that help protect the environment and promote sustainability.
Many young people now prefer eco-friendly products and lifestyles that reduce their carbon footprint.
According to a recent survey by Nielsen, about 73% of Millennials and Gen Z consumers are
willing to pay more for sustainable products. This shows that they care about the environment and
want to make a positive impact . The same survey found that 81% of young people feel it is essential
to be environmentally responsible. This shift in thinking is influencing businesses to adopt greener
practices.
[I] One popular aspect of living green is the use of reusable items. [II]Young people are
increasingly using reusable bags, water bottles, and straws instead of single-use plastics. [III] A
report from Statista indicates that the global market for reusable bags was valued at around $6 billion
in 2020 and is expected to grow by 5% each year. [IV] This reflects a growing awareness of the
harmful effects of plastic waste.
Another important trend is the interest in plant-based diets. Research shows that around 48% of
young people are trying to eat less meat. Many believe that adopting a plant- based diet can
significantly reduce their environmental impact. A study from the University of Oxford found that
cutting down on meat and dairy could reduce an individual’s carbon footprint by up to 73%.
Overall, the trend of living green among young generations is growing stronger. As they continue
to make conscious choices about their lifestyles, their efforts will play a crucial role in creating a
more sustainable future for our planet. This movement not only benefits the environment but also
inspires others to join in for meaningful change.
