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
In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a
greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources Fortunately, there are a number of readily
available, renewable resources that are both cost- effective and earth – friendly Two such resources are solar power and geothermal power
Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the needs
of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use
of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity In the US alone, more than 100, 000 homes are equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles And in other parts of the world, including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily
Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth Hot water and steam that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which produces electricity Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel resources and as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple A prime example of effective geothermal use in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity where there are over 80 percent of private homes, are heated by geothermal power
Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional energy sources The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on global scale
36: What is the main topic of this passage?
A The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources
B Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized
C How energy resources are tapped from nature
D Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide
Trang 437: According to the passage, why should we consider using alternative energy sources?

correct answer to each of the questions from 66 to 75
Just as optical fibers have transformed communication, they are also revolutionizing medicine These
ultra-thin, flexible fibers have opened a window into the living tissues of the body By inserting optical fibers through natural openings or small incisions and threading them along the body's established
pathways Physicians can look into the lungs, intestines, heart and other areas that were formerly
inaccessible to them
The basic fiber-optics system is called fiberscope, which consists of bundles of fibers One he illuminating
bundle, carries light to the tissues Is is coupled to a high intensity light source Light enters the cores of
the high-purity silicon glass and travels along the fibers A lens at the end of the bundle collects the light
Trang 7and focuses it into the other bundle, the imaging bundle Each fiber is the bundle transmits only a tiny fraction of the total image The reconstructed image can be viewed through an eyepiece or displayed on television screen During the last five years, improved methods of fabricating optical fibers have led to a reduction in fiberscope diameter and an increase in the number of fibers, which in turn has increased
resolution
Optical fibers can also be used to deliver laser light By use of laser beams, Physicians can perform
surgery inside the body, sometimes eliminating the need for invasive procedures in which healthy tissue
must be cut through to reach the site of disease Many of these procedures do not require anesthesia and
can be performed in a physician's office These techniques have reduced the risk and the cost of medical care
