Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Because geologists have long indicated that fossil fuels will not last indefinitely, the U.S government finally acknowledged that sooner or later other energy sources would be needed and, as a result, turned its attention to nuclear power. It was anticipated that nuclear power plants could supply electricity in such large amounts and so inexpensively that they would be integrated into an economy in which electricity would take over virtually all fuel-generating functions at nominal cost. Thus, the government subsidized the promotion of commercial nuclear power plants and authorized their construction by utility companies. In the 1960s and early 1970s, the public accepted the notion of electricity being generated by nuclear power plants in or near residential areas. By 1975, 54 plants were fully operational, supplying 11 percent of the nation’s electricity,

and another 167 plants were at various stages of planning and construction. Officials estimated that by 1990 hundreds of plants would be on line, and by the turn of the century as many as 1000 plants would be in working order.

Since 1975, this outlook and this estimation have changed drastically, and many utilizes have cancelled existing orders. In some cases, construction was terminated even after billions of dollars had already been invested. After being completed and licensed at a cost of almost $6 billion, the Shoreham Power Plant on Long Island was turned over to the state of New York to be dismantled without ever having generated electric power. The reason was that residents and state authorities deemed that there was no possibility of evacuating residents from the area should an accident occur.

Just 68 of those plants under way in 1975 have been completed, and another 3 are still under construction. Therefore, it appears that in the mid1990s 124 nuclear power plants in the nation will be in operation, generating about 18 percent of the nation’s electricity, a figure that will undoubtedly decline as relatively outdated plants are shut down

The author of the passage implies that the construction of new nuclear power plants____.

A. is continuing on a smaller scale 

B. is being geared for greater safety

C. has been completely halted for fear of disaster 

D. has been decelerated but not terminated

D. đã bị chậm lại nhưng không dừng hẳn

Dịch bài đọc:

Bởi vì các nhà địa chất từ lâu đã chỉ ra rằng năng lượng hóa thạch sẽ không kéo dài vĩnh viễn, nên chính phủ Mỹ cuối cùng đã thừa nhận rằng sớm hay muộn thì sẽ cần đến các nguồn năng lượng khác, và kết quả là, hướng sự chú ý đến năng lượng hạt nhân. Nó được dự đoán rằng các nhà máy năng lượng hạt nhân có thể cung cấp điện với số lượng lớn mà lại còn rẻ đến nỗi chúng sẽ được hợp nhất vào nền kinh tế mà trong đó điện từ năng lượng hạt nhân sẽ đảm nhiệm hầu hết toàn bộ chức năng tạo điện với chi phí rất nhỏ. Do đó, chính phủ đã trợ cấp cho sự thúc đẩy các nhà máy điện hạt nhân thương mại và ủy quyền xây dựng các nhà máy cho các công ty dịch vụ công cộng. Vào những năm 1960 và đầu những năm 1970, công chúng đã chấp nhận khái niệm điện được tạo ra bởi các nhà máy điện hạt nhân ở trong hoặc gần các khu vực dân cư. Vào năm 1975, 54 nhà máy đã hoạt động hoàn toàn, cung cấp 11% lượng điện quốc gia, và 167 nhà máy khác đang trong các giai đoạn lên kế hoạch và xây dựng. Các quan chức ước tính rằng vào năm 1990, hàng trăm nhà máy điện sẽ đi vào hoạt động, và qua thế kỷ tiếp theo thì có tới 1000 nhà máy điện sẽ vận hành tốt.

Kể từ năm 1975, viễn cảnh và ước tính này đã thay đổi một cách mạnh mẽ, và nhiều người dùng đã hủy bỏ những đơn đặt hàng hiện có. Trong một vài trường hợp, việc xây dựng bị dừng lại kể cả sau khi hàng tỉ đô la đã được đầu tư. Sau khi được hoàn thiện và cấp phép với chi phí gần 6 triệu đô la, nhà máy điện Shoreham ở Long Island đã bị chuyển giao cho tiểu bang New York để phá dỡ mà chưa từng sản xuất ra điện. Lí do là người dân và chính quyền bang cho rằng không có khả năng để sơ tán người dân ra khỏi khu vực bị ảnh hưởng nếu một vụ tại nạn xảy ra.

Chỉ có 68 trong số các nhà máy điện hạt nhân dự kiến vào năm 1975 được hoàn thành, và thêm 3 cái khác vẫn đang xây dựng. Do đó, có một thực tế rằng vào giữa những năm 1990, 124 nhà máy điện hạt nhân ở trong nước sẽ đi vào hoạt động, sản xuất ra khoảng 18% lượng điện quốc gia, con số này không nghi ngờ gì sẽ giảm đi bởi vì các nhà máy dần lỗi thời sẽ bị đóng cửa

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Because geologists have long indicated that fossil fuels will not last indefinitely, the U.S government finally acknowledged that sooner or later other energy sources would be needed and, as a result, turned its attention to nuclear power. It was anticipated that nuclear power plants could supply electricity in such large amounts and so inexpensively that they would be integrated into an economy in which electricity would take over virtually all fuel-generating functions at nominal cost. Thus, the government subsidized the promotion of commercial nuclear power plants and authorized their construction by utility companies. In the 1960s and early 1970s, the public accepted the notion of electricity being generated by nuclear power plants in or near residential areas. By 1975, 54 plants were fully operational, supplying 11 percent of the nation’s electricity,

and another 167 plants were at various stages of planning and construction. Officials estimated that by 1990 hundreds of plants would be on line, and by the turn of the century as many as 1000 plants would be in working order.

Since 1975, this outlook and this estimation have changed drastically, and many utilizes have cancelled existing orders. In some cases, construction was terminated even after billions of dollars had already been invested. After being completed and licensed at a cost of almost $6 billion, the Shoreham Power Plant on Long Island was turned over to the state of New York to be dismantled without ever having generated electric power. The reason was that residents and state authorities deemed that there was no possibility of evacuating residents from the area should an accident occur.

Just 68 of those plants under way in 1975 have been completed, and another 3 are still under construction. Therefore, it appears that in the mid1990s 124 nuclear power plants in the nation will be in operation, generating about 18 percent of the nation’s electricity, a figure that will undoubtedly decline as relatively outdated plants are shut down
