For the past decades, the importance of various ecosystems has become widely understood. Therefore, humans have carried out various methods to protect the natural world, including making the switch to green energy sources. Solar energy is harnessed through solar panels and converted into usable electricity. This remarkably efficient energy source generates few harmful emissions, making it a potent tool in reducing our carbon footprint. Furthermore, solar panels are ideally suited for small-scale installations, such as residential homes, as they demand minimal maintenance costs and have a long lifespan. However, the effectiveness of solar power is determined by weather conditions, which makes it less practical in areas where sunny weather is infrequent. Wind power involves the transformation of wind energy into electricity through the use of large turbines. Wind power produces little greenhouse gases, but it is less suitable for private use due to the consistent maintenance requirements of turbines. Nevertheless, wind farms can be deployed on a large scale and are capable of generating electricity continuously. As a result, there could be increased investments in wind power that could offer a stable energy supply to major cities. The combined forces of wind and solar power play a substantial role in promoting an eco-friendly environment by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, reducing pollution and slowing down the progression of climate change. Moreover, the utilisation of renewable energy sources stimulates investment in sustainable development by creating new career opportunities within the green energy sector.
Today, the installation and infrastructure costs are the main obstacles to the transition to green energy. However, they offer undeniable benefits that far outweigh their drawbacks, which can help US ensure a more sustainable future. Question 24: Which of the following benefits is NOT mentioned as solar and wind energy? A. Limit the production of harmful emissions. B. Limit dependence on fossil fuels. C. Limit investment in sustainable development. D. Slow down the process of climate change. Question 26: Which of the following best paraphrases the sentence: "However, the effectiveness of solar power is determined by weather conditions, which makes it less practical in areas where sunny weather is infrequent"? A. Solar power is practical in regions with sunny weather all year round. B. Solar energy is reliable regardless of weather conditions. C. Solar panels are unsuitable for areas with consistent sunny weather. D. Weather conditions limit the effectiveness of solar energy in some areas. Question 25: The word “harnessed” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to A. damaged B. captured C. wasted D. affordable Question 26: The word “stable” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to A. smooth B. consistent C. effective D. intermitten Question 27: The word “they” in paragraph 5 refers to A. benefits B. costs C. obstacles D. energy sources Question 28: Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? A. Green energy sources will be the key to human sustainable future. B. Solar power creates zero greenhouse emissions, so it’s considered completely eco-friendly. C. Using green energy sources can attract more investments into the sector of energy. D. We might not have to rely on fossil fuels if renewable energy is widely supported. Question 29: In which paragraph does the writer mention the role of renewable energy in creating job opportunities? A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5 Question 30: In which paragraph does the writer explain the challenges of adopting green energy? A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5 Read the following passage about green living and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. Green Living [I] Green living, often referred to as sustainable living, encourages individuals to adopt environmentally friendly practices in their daily lives. [II] This lifestyle includes reducing waste, conserving natural resources, and promoting eco-friendly habits, which collectively help to minimize the negative impact on the environment (Davies & Mulligan, 2017). [III] Although green living requires effort and adjustment, its benefits for the planet and future generations are substantial. [IV] One of the fundamental aspects of green living is waste reduction. This can be achieved through practices like recycling, composting, and reducing single-use plastics. According to a report by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), recycling and composting can significantly decrease the amount of waste sent to landfills, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution (EPA, 2021). Additionally, adopting reusable items such as water bottles and shopping bags minimizes reliance on plastic, which is crucial for protecting ecosystems and wildlife. Another key component of green living is energy conservation. Simple changes, like switching to LED light bulbs and using public transportation, can reduce an individual's carbon footprint. A study by the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that energy efficiency improvements, if widely implemented, could decrease global energy demand by up to 40% by 2050 (IEA, 2019). By conserving energy, individuals not only lower their utility bills but also contribute to the re duction of carbon emissions, which is essential for mitigating climate change. Green living also involves making conscious choices about the products we consume. This includes opting for sustainably sourced goods, supporting local businesses, and choosing organic produce. Sustainable agriculture practices reduce the need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers, which can harm both the soil and water sources
