* Read the passage, then answer the questions.
In Britain, natural gas is the most popular fuel for heating homes and cooking. It is piped all over the country from the gas fields below the North Sea. Natural gas is used chiefly as a direct source of energy, although it is also used in the chemical industry. At the moment the supply is plentiful, but it will be running short by the end of the century and will run out during the 21 st century unless new supplies are found. We could do without natural gas, as coal gas can be used as a substitute, and there should be enough coal to last for several centuries. However, it is a form of energy that is not only cheap but also highly efficient.
1. What is natural gas used for?
Natural gas is used for heating homes and cooking.
2. Where does it come from?
it comes from all over the country from the gas fields below the North sea.
3. What is natural gas used chiefly as?
Natural gas is used chiefly as a direct source of energy, although it is also used in the chemical industry.

Yes, it is.
5. What will happen if we can’t find new supplies?
If we can't find new supplies natural gas will run out.
6. When will it run out?
It will run out during the 21stcentury.
7. What can be used as a substitute for natural gas?
coal gas can be used as a substitute for natural gas.
8. How long should there be enough coal to last?
There should be enough coal to last for several centuries.
9. Is natural gas expensive?
It is cheap.
10. Is it efficient?
Yes, it is.
XI. Read the passage carefuliy, then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
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 conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear 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 cuncer and may badly affect the future gencrations. The most effective thing is that we should use natural resources as economical as possible

Coal, oil, and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of irs power. However, not only are supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. Therefore, it's important to improve, explore and develop such alternative energy sources as nuclear, water, solar and wind power. Each of these alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.
Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they create the difficult problenı of what to do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for communities locnted far from moving water.Wind power is a pollution-free source renewable energy but it cannot be used many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind. Solar power renewable, it does not cause pollution and it does not add the earth's heat load. However, it ia dilficult to coilect and store. Solar power also requir eensive equipnent
Every source of energy has its disadvantages. One way to minimize them is to use less energy. Conservation efforts coupled with renewable energy resoucs wll ensure supplies of clean, affordable energy for humanity's future.
1. Coal, oil and natural gas .............
a. are very great in amount
c. pollute the atmosphere
b. will never be used up
d. supply most of its power
( Mk đã chú thích bằng cách in đậm key word/ sentense ở trên đoạn văn nhé.!!! )
2. Nuclear power plants
a. are difficult to build ..............
c. are very cheap to maintain
b. pollute the atmosphere
d. create the problem of nuclear waste
( Câu a,c ko đúng vì phía trên họ nói là they are costly to build and maintain : Chúng thì quá là đắt đỏ để mà xây dựng và duy trì ; còn câu c thì phía tren họ nói là without polluting the atmosphere : ko hề gây ôi nhiễm tới không khí. )
3. Wind power...............
a. cannot be used in places that has strong wind
b. is never completely used up
c. is a source of pollution
d. cannot replace itself .
( Câu này hơi khó hơn, mk phải dịch một chút Wind power is a pollution-free source renewable energy but it cannot be used many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind: Năng lượng gió là nguồn năng lượng tái tạo không ô nhiễm nhưng nó không thể được sử dụng nhiều nơi trên thế giới, những nơi mà không có đủ gió. )
4. What is the advantage of these alternatives?
a. They are environmentally friendly energy sources
b. They are non renewable forms of energy

( Bn xem mấy câu mk đánh dấu trên đoạn nha trong câu đó sẽ có key words/ sentences cho đáp án nha .!!! )
5. From the passage, it can be inferred (suy ra) that to solve our energy problem...................
a. we will have to stop using many of our modern conveniences
b. scientists will have to find one major source of nonpolluting energy
c. scientists will have to find ways to increase our supplies of coal, oil, and gas
d. a combination of conservation and invention will be needed
(Cái này nằm ở đoạn cuối : Conservation efforts coupled with renewable energy resources will ensure supplies of clean, affordable energy for humanity's future : Sự nỗ lực bảo tồn cùng với các nguồn năng lượng tái tạo sẽ đảm bảo nguồn cung cấp năng lượng sạch, giá cả phù hợp cho tương lai của toàn nhân loại )
Tick cho mk nha!!!
