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
Vitamins, taken in tiny doses, are a major group of organic compounds that regulate the mechanisms by which the body converts food into energy They should not be confused with minerals, which are inorganic in their makeup Although in general the naming of vitamins followed the alphabetical order of their identification, the nomenclature of individual substances may appear to be somewhat random and disorganized Among the 13 vitamins known today, five are produced in the body Because the body produces sufficient quantities
of some but not all vitamins, they must be supplemented in the daily diet Although each
vitamin has its specific designation and cannot be replaced by another compound, a lack of
Trang 5one vitamin can interfere with the processing of another When a lack of even one vitamin in
a diet is continual, a vitamin deficiency may result
The best way for an individual to ensure a necessary supply of vitamins is to maintain a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods and provides adequate quantities of all the compounds Some people take vitamin supplements, predominantly in the form of tablets The vitamins in such supplements are equivalent to those in food, but an adult who maintains
a balanced diet does not need a daily supplement The ingestion of supplements is recommended only to correct an existing deficiency due to unbalanced diet, to provide vitamins known to be lacking in a restricted diet, or to act as a therapeutic measure in medical treatment Specifically, caution must be exercised with fat-soluble substances, such as vitamins A and D, because, taken in gigantic doses, they may present a serious health hazard over a period of time
Question 36: According to the passage, vitamins are
C miscellaneous substances D major food groups
Question 37: How many vitamins must be derived from nourishment?
Question 38: The author implies that foods
A supply some but not all necessary vitamins
B should be fortified with all vitamins
C are equivalent in vitamin content
D supplement some but not all necessary vitamins
Question 39: The phrase “daily diet” is closest in meaning to
A weight loss or gain B sufficient quantities C nourishment intake D vitamin tablets Question 40: A continual lack of one vitamin in a person’s diet is
A contagious B desirable C preposterous D dangerous
Question 41: With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?
A A varied diet needs to be supplemented with vitamins
B An inclusive diet can provide all necessary vitamins
C Vitamins cannot be consistently obtained from food
D Vitamins should come from capsules in purified form
Question 42: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A Adopting vitamins to control weight
B The individual’s diet for optimum health
Trang 6C Vitamin categorization and medical application
D The place of vitamins in nutrition
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
Geothermal energy is natural heat from the interior of the Earth that is converted to heat buildings and generate electricity The idea of harnessing Earth’s internal heat is not new As early as 1904 , geothermal power was used in Italy Today, Earth’s natural internal heat is being used to generate electricity in 21 countries , including Russia, Japan, New Zealand, Iceland,
Mexico, Ethiopia, Guatemala, EI Salvador, the Philippines, and the United States Total worldwide production is approaching 9,000 MW (equivalent to nine large modern coal-burning
or nuclear power plants)-double the amount in 1980 Some 40 million people today receive their
electricity from geothermal energy at a cost competitive with that of other energy sources In EI
Salvador , geothermal energy is supplying 30% of the total electric energy used However, at the global level, geothermal energy supplies less than 0,15%of the total energy supply
Geothermal energy may be considered a nonrenewable energy source when rates of extraction are greater than rates of natural replenishment However, geothermal energy has its origin in the natural heat production within Earth , and only a small fraction of the vast total resource base is being utilized today Although most geothermal energy production involves the tapping of high heat sources, people are also using the low-temperature geothermal energy of groundwater in some applications
Geothermal Systems
The average heat flow from the interior of the Earth is very low, about 0,06% W/m2.This
amount is trivial compared with the 177 W/m2from solar heat at the surface in the United States However, in some areas, heat flow is sufficiently high to be useful for producing energy For the most part, areas of high heat flow are associated with plate tectonic boundaries Oceanic ridge systems (divergent plate boundaries) and areas where mountains are being uplifted and volcanic island arcs are forming (convergent plate boundaries) are areas where this natural heat flow is anomalously high One such region is located in the western, United States, where recent tectonic and volcanic activity has occurred
On the basis of geological criteria, several types of hot geothermal systems (with temperatures greater than about 800C , or 1760F)have been defined, and the resource base is larger than that of fossil fuels and nuclear energy combined A common system for energy development is hydrothermal convection, characterized by the circulation of steam and / or hot water that transfers heat from depths to the surface
Trang 7Geothermal Energy and the Environment
The environmental impact of geothermal energy may not be as extensive as that of other
sources of energy , but it can be considerable When geothermal energy is developed at a
particular site, environmental problems include on-site noise, emissions of gas, and disturbance
of the land at drilling sites, disposal sites, roads and pipelines, and power plants Development of geothermal energy does not require large-scale transportation of raw materials or refining of chemicals, as development of fossil fuels does Furthermore, geothermal energy does not produce the atmospheric pollutants associated with burning fossil fuels or the radioactive waste associated with nuclear energy However, geothermal development often does produce considerable thermal pollution from hot waste-waters, which may be saline or highly corrosive,
producing disposal and treatment problem
Geothermal power is not very popular in some locations among some people For instance, geothermal energy has been produced for years on the island of Hawaii, where active volcanic processes provide abundant near surface heat There is controversy, however, over further exploration and development Native Hawaiians and others have argued that the exploration and development of geothermal energy degrade the tropical forest as developers construct roads, build facilities , and drill wells
In addition, religious and cultural issues in Hawaii relate to the use of geothermal energy For example, some people are offended by using the “breath and water of Pele” ( the volcano goddess) to make electricity This issue points out the importance of being sensitive to the values and cultures of the people where development is planned
Future of Geothermal energy
At present, geothermal energy supplies only a small fraction of the electrical energy produced in the United States However, if developed, known geothermal resources in the United States could produce about 20,000 MW which is about 10% of the electricity needed for the western states Geohydrothermal resources not yet discovered could conservatively provide four times that amounts (approximately 10% of total U.S electric capacity) About equivalent to the electricity produced from water power today
Question 43: What is true about geothermal energy production worldwide?
A Because it is a new idea, very few countries are geothermal energy sources
B Only countries in the Southern Hemisphere are using geothermal energy on a large scale
C Until the cost of geothermal energy becomes competitive, it will not be used globally
D Geothermal energy is already being used in a number of nations, but it is not yet a major
source of power

nonrenewable resource because
A The production of geothermal energy is a natural process
B Geothermal energy comes from the Earth
C We are not using very much geothermal energy now
D We could use more geothermal energy than is naturally replaced
Question 47: According to paragraph 3, the heat flow necessary for the production of
geothermal energy
A Is like solar heat on the Earth’s surface B Happens near tectonic plate boundaries
C Must always be artificially increased D May be impractical because of its location Question 48: The word considerable in the passage is closest in meaning to
Question 49: In paragraph 5, the author mentions the atmospheric pollution and waste products
for fossil fuel and nuclear power
A To introduce the discussion of pollution caused by geothermal energy development and
Question 50: According to paragraph 6, the production of geothermal energy in Hawaii is
controversial for all of the following reason EXCEPT
A The volcanoes in Hawaii could be disrupted by the rapid release of geothermal energy
B The rainforest might be damaged during the construction of the geothermal energy plant
C The native people are concerned that geothermal energy is disrespectful to their cultural
traditions
D Some Hawaiians oppose using geothermal energy because of their religious beliefs
