We have been harnessing the wind's energy for hundreds of years From old Holland to farms in

the United States, windmills have been used for pumping water or grinding grain Today, the windmill'smodern equivalent - a wind turbine - can use the wind's energy to generate electricity

Wind turbines, like windmills, are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy At 100 feet (30 meters)

or more above ground, they can take advantage of the faster and less turbulent wind.

Wind turbines can be used as stand-alone applications, or they can be connected to a utility power grid oreven combined with a photo voltaic (solar cell) system For utility-scale sources of wind energy, a largenumber of wind turbines are usually built close together to form a wind plant Several electricityproviders today use wind plants to supply power to their customers

Stand-alone wind turbines are typically used for water pumping or communications However,homeowners, farmers, and ranchers in windy areas can also use wind turbines as a way to cut down on theuse of electricity Thus, they pay less money for their bills.

Small wind systems also have potential as distributed energy resources Distributed energy resources refer

to a variety of small, modular power-generating technologies that can be combined to improve theoperation of the electricity delivery system

1 Wind turbines can be used for……

A water drainage B generating electricity C telecommunications D growing plants

2 The word “harnessing” in line 1is closest in meaning to…….

3 The phrase “take advantage of” in line 5 means………

A pay attention to B cause damage to C make use of D take into consideration

4 According to the passage, what is NOT true?

A Wind turbines make customers pay more for their electricity

B Wind turbines can be used for water pumping

C Wind turbines can capture most wind energy at the height of 100 feet and above

D Wind turbines help the residents cut down on money used to pay for electricity

5 It can be inferred from the passage that…

A wind is limited B many wind turbines can’t form a plant

C wind can’t be captured D Wind turbines are of great help
