Earth orbits the sun while the moon orbits Earth. Occasionally, all three of them become aligned with one another. When this happens, an eclipse occurs. There are two types of eclipses: solar and lunar. Both are rare events simply because, due to the movement of all three celestial bodies, the times when they line up with one another are infrequent. Solar eclipses are easily the more spectacular of the two. For a solar eclipse to occur, the moon's orbit must take it between Earth and the sun. While the sun is much larger than the moon, the relative nearness of the moon to Earth makes it appear to be the same size as the sun when viewed from the ground. Thus, when the sun, Earth, and moon are perfectly aligned, the moon appears to cover the entire sun. This is a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse may be either total or partial. When a total eclipse happens, the sun is completely obscured by the moon. The sky darkens, and it appears to be night time. However, most solar eclipses are partial ones. When they take place, the sun is only partly covered by the moon. When a solar eclipse happens, it is observable from a fairly small area on the planet. Thus, when there is a solar eclipse in North America, it is highly unlikely that it will be visible in Africa or Australia. A solar eclipse only lasts for a few minutes since all three heavenly bodies are in continual motion. People must also take care when viewing a solar eclipse since looking directly at it can cause damage - including blindness - to their eyes. Lunar eclipses happen when Earth moves directly between the sun and the moon. When this occurs, the planet blocks sunlight from reflecting off the moon. Lunar eclipses take place at night. During one, the moon appears very orange and is practically red in color. There are two different types of lunar eclipses. Taken together, the result is that lunar eclipses happen more frequently than solar eclipses. In addition, lunar eclipses may last for hours and can be seen from a wider area on the planet. There is no harm in directly observing a lunar eclipse either, so looking at one will not damage a person's eyes. 28. What is the passage mainly about? A. How eclipses have affected history B. Two types of eclipses C. The problems eclipses cause D. Solar eclipses 29. What is the word ‘spectacular’ in line 5 closest in meaning to? A. distinct B. impressive C. lost lasting D. common 30. Why is the moon able to cover the sun during a solar eclipse? A. Because of its large size B. Because of its brightness C. Because of its closeness to Earth D. Because of its rotation 31. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about solar eclipses? A. How they can harm people B. How long they may last C. How much of the sun cannot be seen during them D. How often they happen 32. What can be inferred from the passage about lunar eclipses? A. It is possible to see them from every-where in the world. B. They are less dangerous to people than solar eclipses. C. Superstitious people believe they bring bad luck. D. During a full moon, they can be extremely bright.

Câu VII. Đọcđoạnvănsauvàtrảlờicáccâuhỏi.(0,8điểm) Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages. Wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy. 1. Where can we install solar cells to generate solar energy: on house floor or the house roofs? __________________________________________________________ 2. What are the disadvantages of wind and water power? __________________________________________________________ 3. Do solar cells require much maintenance? __________________________________________________________ 4. Which is more expensive, solar energy or traditional sources of energy? __________________________________________________________

Organic food is the cheapest when bought directly from a farmer or producer, either via a box scheme, farmers market or farm shop. Buying local, organic food will often cost less than the non-organic equivalent. Unfortunately, most of us cannot access organic food directly from the producer, and therefore it tends to be more expensive than the basic non-organic equivalent in the supermarkets. It does pay to shops around. Some organic products cost less than premium non-organic products. You might be pleasantly surprised. If you are on a tight budget, but would like to buy more organic food, then you could try prioritising your purchases. Items such as organic flour, milk, bread and butter can be cheaper. If you compare prices, you may actually find that many organic brands are cheaper than their conventional equivalents and are often on special offer. There are other reasons, besides nutrition, that people choose organic food - such as taste, to avoid pesticides and a concern for the environment. The organic movement does promote better soil and it stands to reason that in the long run, organic farming is better for overall soil quality. Let’s not forget the most important factor in your diet, as far as fruit and vegetables are concerned, is to eat as much and as wide variety as possible. a) T or F 1.
