Despite being less harmful than fossil fuels, renewable energy still has its disadvantages. One significant concern is the impact on local areas. Large-scale renewable projects like solar farms or wind turbines require substantial areas of land. This conversion of land can lead to habitat loss and displacement of wildlife. Hydropower dams, for example, can flood vast areas, altering river ecosystems and affecting traditional land uses. The manufacturing process of renewable energy materials has a huge environmental impact. The operations related to mining the raw materials for solar panels and wind turbines can lead to pollution and habitat degradation because they require large-scale exploitation. The production process itself might be energy- intensive, which increases carbon emissions and raises concerns about the safe disposal of components at the end of their lifespan. Another issue is the intermittent nature of renewable power. Solar energy relies on sunlight, and wind power comes from steady winds. This variability can create challenges for power grid stability, sometimes requiring backup sources like fossil fuels to ensure a reliable energy supply. In summary, the negative effects of renewable energy shouldn't discourage a transition away from fossil fuels. However, it's important to be mindful of these potential costs to minimize negative impacts. Question 29: Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. The Exploration of Renewable Energy B. The Implementation of Renewable Energy C. The Drawbacks of Renewable Energy D.

Solar power and wind power cannot maintain a stable power grid. D. Renewable energy sources will completely replace fossil fuels soon.

However, the way we eat and the food choices we make every day also have a big impact on the environment. Food production is a major contributor to climate change. The process of growing, manufacturing, and transporting food, especially meat and dairy products, involves the use of fossil fuels. We all know that burning fossil fuels releases a huge amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. All the ingredients for our meals require land, water, and energy to produce, so the food we choose can either increase or decrease our carbon footprint. In addition, transporting food over long distances can create more greenhouse gas emissions. So what should we do? We should start by eating local and organic food. This can not only limit the amount of carbon dioxide produced during transportation, but can also help us avoid pesticides that are harmful to both humans and the environment. We should also choose a healthier diet with less animal-based food and more vegetables. Raising livestock for food requires huge amounts of water and grain, and can cause deforestation and pollution. Cows and sheep release methane as they digest plants and grass. Although it is shorter lived than carbon dioxide, methane is a lot more powerful than carbon dioxide at warming the Earth. That is why we should try to eat less red meat and dairy products. Making responsible food choices will not only improve our health and well-being, but will also have a positive impact on the environment.

8. A. inventing B. producing C. packing D. processing Question 32: The word 'it' in paragraph 3 refers to _______. A. methane B. sheep C. pollution D. Earth Question 33: Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the passage? A. Carbon emissions will be lower if we choose to eat local food. B. A lot of water is used for raising animals. C. Methane emitted from cows and sheep is the main cause of global warming. D. Eating less red meat can be good for your health. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions Every culture in the world has marriage and wedding ceremonies. Usually marriages are between one woman and one man. However, in other parts of the world a man may have several wives, or, as in some areas of Tibet and India, a wife may have more than one husband. There are also many different kinds of wedding ceremonies practiced around the world. These ceremonies can be very short and simple, or very long and complicated. One of the largest and most expensive wedding ceremonies in recent times was held in Dubai in 1981. The couple were the son of Sheik Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum and Princess Salama. The wedding ceremony took seven days and cost $44 million. It was held in a large building which looked like a stadium. They needed a large place for their wedding because more than 20,000 guests were invited. The reasons why a man and woman get married also vary. Sometimes they marry because they are in love, sometimes they marry someone through a matchmaker, and sometimes they marry because their parents tell them they must marry. One unusual example of an arranged marriage took place in Bangladesh in 1986. The groom was an eleven- month-old boy and the bride was a three-month-old girl. They were the youngest married couple ever. Their parents arranged the marriage as a way of ending a fight between the two families who had been arguing over a farm for twenty years. Both families thought that they owned the farm, but no one knew exactly. The fight ended for good when the young boy married the young girl. By arranging this marriage, neither family was forced to lose face. The two families agreed to give the farm to the young couple.
