problems in the world, for example, pollution problems.
By Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – https://violet.vn/quocbinh72

Trang 2/4

Air pollution is the first kind. It mostly comes from fumes released from motorbikes, cars,
airplanes, trains and poisonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped anywhere,
even in the city where many people are living. The second pollution problem is sea pollution.
Many people earn their living from fishing in the sea, and the fish they catch feed many people.
But the sea has become so polluted from oil spills and factory wastes that the fish are dying. This
pollution is not only killing the fish, but is also affecting those people who eat fish.
Seldom do you find a place nowadays that is not polluted. This problem is growing more
difficult every day. We must find a good solution that makes the world a better place to live.

Read the following passage and Mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this
discovery has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive
engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was
the next invention that provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond
these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability. On the other hand, we
make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that drive our electric
trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in
steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by
electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in
a furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee. Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been
harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable
for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or
conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances. To generate electricity, huge
turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery.
When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere
with smoke from coal. Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an
accident. A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to
make electricity. The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation.
Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to
the environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly,
they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet
improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this
happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by
trucks and cars that bum fossil fuels.
Question 36: The word “adaptability” in paragraph 1 is the closest meaning to ______.
A. possibility
