Ex XII: Read the text carefully, then do the tasks.

SOLAR ENERGY
Sunlight carries huge amounts of energy. You can feel the Sun’s energy when sunlight warms your skin on a
summer day. To capture the Sun’s energy, scientists have developed solar cells, called photovoltaic cells.
These cells convert sunlight into electricity.
When sunlight hits a solar cell, some of the light energy is absorbed. This light energy causes the particles in
the solar cell to move faster, and the movement of these particles creates electricity.
In some places, large panels of solar cells harvest sunshine to make electricity for homes and businesses.
Solar cells have been placed on cars and appliances, too. Since the Sun sends abundant free energy
streaming toward Earth 24 hours a day, people in many parts of the world, not just the sunniest places,
have fixed solar cells and solar panels on the roofs of their houses or businesses to lower their energy
costs.
Experts say that the huge installation of solar panels in sunny regions could generate
enough electricity to supply an entire country. Capturing this energy can help overcome our diminishing
energy supply. New ways to capture this energy are being developed an
the time to maximize efficiency.
1. What is the source of solar energy?
a. sunlight b. photovoltaic cells
c. solar panels d. electricity

4. As used in line 9, ‘abundant’ most nearly means .
a. unlimited b. dangerous c. plentiful d. clean
5. Where have people fixed solar panels?
a. In the sunniest places b. Anywhere outside their houses
c. Inside their houses d. On the roofs of their houses
6. As used in line 14, ‘diminishing’ most nearly means .
a. decreasing b. increasing
c. unending d. restoring
7. According to the passage, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT
a. the Sun produces a large amount of energy.
b. solar energy could provide enough electricity for the whole world
