Questions and Answers

1.
The Controversy of Harnessing Solar Energy We often hear about solar
cars, solar heating, and solar batteries. But will solar energy ever be a
major source of energy for society?Solar energy is cheaper than other
fossil fuels because we can get an abundant source from the sun. In sunny
desert areas, 50 % of the sun’s radiation that reaches the ground could be
used to produce electricity for businesses and industry and to provide heat,
light, and hot water for homes. Experimental solar ponds can also produce
hot water to drive generators.Unfortunately, we can’t yet power our homes
entirely on sunlight. Solar energy can only be used effectively in bright light.
Its greatest potential therefore is in hot countries that have clear skies for
most of the year. But, unfortunately most houses are not in the sunniest
parts of the world. Moreover, in order to harness solar power solar cells are
very cheap to run, but relatively expensive to buy and many people can’t
afford them.Needless to say, solar energy is a useful and non-pollution
source of energy. Unfortunately, solar cells, the main device to harness the
sun’s energy are still very expensive.Where can solar energy be used
effectively?  In …. 
A. 
Summer

B. 
Industries

C. 
Hot countries

D.

Pros and Cons on Video Games     Nowadays, the video game industries
are developing rapidly. They have become multi-billion dollar industries.
Video games have become an important part not only of children's lives but
also of adults. Nevertheless, there are some arguments whether video
games have a good or bad influence on children.     People who believe in
the good influence of video games say that video games kill children's
boredom and refresh their minds after a tiring school day. These games
encourage children to be more creative because the games challenge
children to win. The games sharpen their brains.     On the other hand,
video games discourage children from studying. They find it hard to
concentrate on their studies because the games they play are on their
minds during school. Some children even skip their extracurricular activities
to play games.     In addition, video games too often expose children to
violence. Two years ago, a student in the USA shot his teacher and some
of his friends. Newspapers said that the boy was deeply influenced by
violence in video games he used to play.     It is obvious that video games
have many more disadvantages than advantages. So, parents should be
careful in selecting appropriate games for their children. What is the
purpose of the writing above ? 
A. 
To get more information about the influence of video games.

B. 
To know more information about the influence of video games.

C. 
To have influences of video games.

D. 
To share the controvercy of playing video games.

E. 
To get the advantages and disadvantages of video games.

Department Stores are large retail stores selling many different kinds of
merchandise arranged in separate departments. Such stores are found in
nearly every important city in the world, and the large department stores
often contain more than 100 separate departments. The two major
categories of merchandise sold in department stores generally are apparel
and home furnishings. Besides making many diverse items available for
purchase in one place, department stores offer numerous services,
including delivery and mailing of purchases; credit service, usually in the
form of charge accounts; and fashion shows.            The organization of a
modern department store is often complex because of the large number of
goods and services provided. Typically, the operation of a store is
conducted through five principal divisions: the merchandising division,
responsible for the buying and pricing of merchandise; the sales promotion
division, in control of advertising, display, public relations, and other related
matters; the personnel division, which supervises employment and the
training and welfare of employees; the operations division, responsible for
customer and selling services, for deliveries, and for the receiving, marking,
and maintenance of merchandise; and the finance and control division,
which deals with accounting, customer credit, expense control, and other
financial and budgetary matters. Within these five divisions are many
subdivisions. The heads, or managers, of the five principal divisions are
responsible to the general manager.            Some stores find it practicable
to lease certain areas within the premises to outside concerns, which then
run their own departments under the name of the department store. This
arrangement is most frequently used for such specialized goods or services
as millinery, photographic supplies, shoe repair, and beauty salons.How

Department Stores are large retail stores selling many different kinds of
merchandise arranged in separate departments. Such stores are found in
nearly every important city in the world, and the large department stores
often contain more than 100 separate departments. The two major
categories of merchandise sold in department stores generally are apparel
and home furnishings. Besides making many diverse items available for
purchase in one place, department stores offer numerous services,
including delivery and mailing of purchases; credit service, usually in the
form of charge accounts; and fashion shows.            The organization of a
modern department store is often complex because of the large number of
goods and services provided. Typically, the operation of a store is
conducted through five principal divisions: the merchandising division,
responsible for the buying and pricing of merchandise; the sales promotion
division, in control of advertising, display, public relations, and other related
matters; the personnel division, which supervises employment and the
training and welfare of employees; the operations division, responsible for
customer and selling services, for deliveries, and for the receiving, marking,
and maintenance of merchandise; and the finance and control division,
which deals with accounting, customer credit, expense control, and other
financial and budgetary matters. Within these five divisions are many
subdivisions. The heads, or managers, of the five principal divisions are
responsible to the general manager.            Some stores find it practicable
to lease certain areas within the premises to outside concerns, which then
run their own departments under the name of the department store. This
arrangement is most frequently used for such specialized goods or services
as millinery, photographic supplies, shoe repair, and beauty salons.How

lines or over cable television network cables. In the strictest sense, a
modem is a device that converts between analog signals, such as sound
waves, and digital signals, which are used by computers. However, the
term has also come to include devices that permit the transmission of
entirely digital signals. Modems transmit data at different speeds,
measured by the number of bits of data they send per second (bps). A 28.8
Kbps modem sends data at 28,800 bits per second. A 56 Kbps modem is
twice as fast, sending and receiving data at a rate of 56,000 bits per
second.What does paragraph 1 tell us about?
A. 
The signals used by modem.

ENCYCLOPEDIA Encyclopedia or Encyclopedia is a reference work that
provides information on a range of subjects. Encyclopedias can encompass
many areas of interest, or they can focus on a particular field of study, such
as a geographic area, an ethnic group, a time period, or an academic
discipline.             Most encyclopedias have hundreds or thousands of
articles, each addressing a distinct topic. Many of the articles contain
illustrations, maps, photographs, and other media elements that help
readers understand concepts. For centuries encyclopedias were published
as multivolume sets of books, but in the late 20th century they appeared in
new formats, such as CD-ROM, digital video disc (DVD), and on the
Internet.             The term encyclopedia comes from the Greek words
enkyklios paideia, meaning “comprehensive education” and originally
signifying instruction in all branches of knowledge, or a comprehensive
education in a specific subject. This concept gave rise to the idea of
collecting the materials for such instruction into a single work, in which the
contents and relations of the various arts and sciences would be explained
systematically. Attempts to produce books of this kind were made more
than 2,000 years ago, although the name encyclopedia was not given to
such works until the 16th century. How are the encyclopedias published? 
A. 
In the form of films.

B. 
In the form of books only.

C.
