II. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each
question.
Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually,
the world’s energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is
left. However, we also should use them economically and try to find out alternative
sources of power. According to Professor Marvin Burnham of the New England
Institute of Technology, we have to start saving coal, oil and gas before it is too late;
and solar power is the only alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it’s very
dangerous. What would happen if there was a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity
causes cancer and may badly affect the future generations. The most effective thing is
that we should use natural resources as economical as possible.

III. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each
question.
Almost all our energy comes from oil, coal, and natural gas. We call them fossil
fuels. The earth’s fossil fuels are running out. What will happen when there is no oil,
coal and gas on the earth?
Scientists are trying to find and use other alternative sources of energy. We can use
energy from the sun, the wind, and the water.
Solar energy is unlimited. The sun supplies all the energy used to grow plants, to
evaporate water for rain, and to maintain the temperate of the planet. All are
necessary for human life. If we are able to collect solar energy, we will be sure to
have this abundant source of power.

3. Natural sources of energy are energy from __________.
A. wind B. the sun C. water D. the sun, wind, water
4. The word “abundant” in the passage is closet in meaning with__________.
A. plentiful B. limited C. natural D. necessary
5. We are asking the question, “What will happen when there is no oil, coal, and gas
on the earth?” because __________.
A. we are now depending so much on oil, coal, and natural gas
B. other sources of energy can come from the sun, wind, and water
C. we are looking forward to seeing great changes
D. we are looking for other alternative sources of energy
IV. Read and write T (true)/ F (false) for each statement.
Prepared by Teacher Phan Quynh Huong
The sun is our nearest star, and all of our energy comes from it. The sun sends
out very large amounts of energy every day. We call this energy solar energy or
radiant energy. Without the sun, life on earth would not exist because our planet
would be totally frozen. We use this solar energy in many different ways. The
sunlight lets us see and warms us.
Plants use the light from the sun to grow. They store it as chemical energy. The
energy is stored in their roots, fruits, and leaves. This energy feeds every living thing
on the earth. When humans and animals eat plants, and the food made from plants, we
store the energy in our bodies, in our muscles and in our brain cells.
We use this energy for everything we do. We use energy when we sing a song,
think a thought, tell a joke, climb a ladder, make a pizza, or run a race. Everything
needs energy!
