correct answer to each of the questions
Because geologists have long indicated that fossil fuels will not last indefinitely, the U.S government finally acknowledged that sooner or later other energy sources would be needed and, as a result, turned its attention to nuclear power It was anticipated that nuclear power plants could supply electricity in such large amounts and so inexpensively that they would be integrated into an economy in
which electricity would take over virtually all fuel-generating functions at nominal cost Thus, the
government subsidized the promotion of commercial nuclear power plants and authorized their
Trang 3construction by utility companies In the 1960s and early 1970s, the public accepted the notion of
electricity being generated by nuclear power plants in or near residential areas By 1975, 54 plants were fully operational, supplying 11 percent of the nation’s electricity, and another 167 plants were at various stages of planning and construction Officials estimated that by 1990 hundreds of plants would be on line, and by the turn of the century as many as 1000 plants would be in working order
Since 1975, this outlook and this estimation have changed drastically, and many utilizes have cancelled existing orders In some cases, construction was terminated even after billions of dollars had
already been invested After being completed and licensed at a cost of almost $6 billion, the Shoreham Power Plant on Long Island was turned over to the state of New York to be dismantled without ever having generated electric power The reason was that residents and state authorities deemed that there was no possibility of evacuating residents from the area should an accident occur
Just 68 of those plants under way in 1975 have been completed, and another 3 are still under construction Therefore, it appears that in the mid1990s 124 nuclear power plants in the nation will be
in operation, generating about 18 percent of the nation’s electricity, a figure that will undoubtedly decline as relatively outdated plants are shut down
Question 26: What was initially planned for the nation’s fuel supply in the 1950s and in the early
1960s?
A Expansion and renovation of existing fuel-generating plants
B Creation of additional storage capacities for fossil fuels
C Conversion of the industry and the economy to nuclear power
D Development of an array of alternative fuel and power sources
Question 27: How does the author describe the attitude of the population in regard to nuclear power as
fuel in the early to the mid 1970s?
A Apprehensive
B Ambivalent
C Receptive
D Resentful
Question 28: In line 5, the word “nominal” is closet in meaning to _
A so-called B minimal C exorbitant D inflated
Question 29: In line 7, the word “notion” is closet in meaning to _
Question 30: In line 13, the phrase “this outlook” refers to _
A the number of operating nuclear plants
B the expectation for increase in the number of nuclear plants
C the possibility of generating electricity at nuclear installations
D the forecast for the capacity of the nuclear plants
Question 31: It can be inferred from the passage that government officials made a critical error in
judgment by
Trang 4A disregarding the low utility of nuclear power plants
B relying on inferior materials and faulty plant design
C overlooking the possibility of a meltdown, however remote
D locating installation in densely wooded areas
Question 32: In line 14, the word “terminated” is closet in meaning to

A is continuing on a smaller scale

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
According to some accounts, the first optical telescope was accidentally invented in the 1600s by children who put two glass lenses together while playing with them in a Dutch optical shop The owner
of the shop, Hans Lippershey, looked through the lenses and was amazed by the way they made the nearby church look so much larger Soon after that, he invented a device that he called a “looker”, a long thin tube where light passed in a straight line from the front lens to the viewing lens at the other end of the tube In 1608 he tried to sell his invention unsuccessfully In the same year, someone described the
“looker” to the Italian scientists Galileo, who made his own version of the device In 1610 Galileo used his version to make observations of the Moon, the planet Jupiter, and the Milky Way In April of 1611, Galileo showed his device to guests at a banquet in his honor One of guests suggested a name for the device: telescope
When Isaac Newton began using Galileo’s telescope more than a century later, he noticed a problem The type of telescope that Galileo designed is called a refractor because the front lens bends, or refracts, the light However, the curved front lens also caused the light to the separated into colors This meant that when Newton looked through the refracting telescope, the images of bright objects appeared with a ring of colors around them This sometimes interfered with viewing He solved this problem by designing a new type of telescope that used a curved mirror This mirror concentrated the light and reflected a beam of light to the eyepiece at the other end of the telescope Because Newton used a mirror, his telescope was called a reflector
Very much larger optical telescopes can now be found in many parts of the world, built on hills and mountains far from city lights The world’s largest refracting telescope is located at the Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin Another telescope stands on Mount Palomar in California This huge reflecting telescope was for many years the largest reflecting telescope in the world until an even larger reflecting telescope was built in the Caucasus Mountains A fourth famous reflector telescope, the Keck Telescope situated on a mountain in Hawaii, does not use a single large mirror to collect the light Instead, the Keck uses the combined light that falls on thirty-six mirrors
Trang 5Radio telescopes, like optical telescopes allow astronomers to collect data from outer space, but they are different in important ways First of all, they look very different because instead of light waves, they collect radio waves Thus, in the place of lenses or mirror, radio telescopes employ bowl-shaped disks that resemble huge TV satellite dished Also, apart from their distinctive appearance, radio telescope and optical telescopes use different methods to record the information they collect Optical telescopes use cameras to take photographs of visible objects, while radio telescopes use radio receivers
to record radio waves from distant object in space

C It was sold by a shop owner D It was invented by accident

Question 37: What did Newton notice about Galileo’s telescope when he used it?
A It had many problems B It refracted the light
C It was called a refractor D It had a curved mirror
Question 38: What did Newton do with Galileo’s telescope?
A He called it reflector B He sent it back to Galileo
C He improved it D He stopped using it after his notice
Question 39: When did Newton start to use Galileo’s telescope?
A in the 17th century B in the 18th century
C in the 16th century D in the 15th century
Question 40: Where does the largest reflecting telescope stand?
