Yours, Mary C - Reading comprehension (5 pts) Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions 4 To those who consider nuclear power the most useful alternative energy, nuclear power seems in some ways much cleaner than other sources of energy. Take oil and coal as an example. When they are used in power stations, a great deal of smoke that contains some kinds of acid is produced. Even if the smoke is cleaned by filters, the acid still escapes into the air and can be carried by clouds from power stations to many other places. When it rains, the acid comes down with the rain. As a result, the fish in lakes and trees in forests begin to die. However, to those who are against nuclear power, they believe that the problem is not just the danger of an accident in the atomic power station. Highly radioactive material is used. Radioactivity can cause cancer and many other illnesses. Only a part of the material is used. The rest-called waste - is just as radioactive element. Although it is very dangerous, this radioactive waste is often thrown into the sea. Nobody can be certain what will happen to it there. Only one thing is certain, it will be dangerous for at least 240,000 years. Another problem is that what will happen if there is an explosion in the nuclear reactor. If one explodes near a large city, how many people will die? Some experts argue that this is impossible. But the argument will go on for a long time. It is also clear that nuclear power can never be the only alternative source of energy. Some other possibilities are solar power from the sun, wind power and tidal power. We must conserve energy, too. Conservation will become more and more of a necessity. 1. How can smoke from power stations cause death to fish and trees ? 2. To those who are against nuclear power, what is the most dangerous problem? 3. Why is the waste from the power station considered the most dangerous? 4. How long do radioactive elements remain the bad effect ? 5. Where can people get tidal power ? - The end - 5 sở giáo dục và đào tạo hp trờng thpt lê quý đôn ---*--- Đề thi thử đại học môn tiếng anh(đ.án) Thời gian làm bài: 90' Ngày . tháng .năm 2007 A.
