Question 31 - 40.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the questions.
As we continue to face the impacts of climate change, having a green environment has become increasingly important to the future of our society. To achieve this, the world is shifting towards green energy, and two particular types of energy at the centre of this movement are solar power and wind power.
(I) This highly efficient form of energy produces zero emissions, so it can significantly reduce our carbon footprint. (II) Moreover, solar panels are perfect for installation on a small scale, such as in private homes, since they require very little maintenance and have a long lifespan. (III) However, the ability to generate solar power depends on the time of day and weather conditions. This means that solar panels are often less useful if they are installed in places where sunny weather is not typical. (IV)
Wind power, on the other hand, involves converting the energy of the wind into electricity using large turbines. Wind power doesn’t produce any greenhouse gases, but it is not ideal for private use since turbines require consistent care. However, wind farms can be installed on a large scale and are able to produce electricity continuously regardless of the time of day. This means that if there were more investments in wind power, it could be a viable way to provide energy for major cities and even for whole regions.
Wind and solar power contribute significantly to a green environment by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, helping us cut down on pollution and slow climate change. Additionally, using renewable energy sources helps promote spending on sustainable development by creating new career opportunities in the green energy sector.
For now, the biggest challenge of adopting green energy is the costs associated with installation and infrastructure, but the benefits unquestionably outweigh the downsides. If we want to stop the climate crisis and create a better and more sustainable future, green energy sources will undoubtedly be the key.

Which of the following best summarises the passage?
In response to the challenges of climate change, the growing use of renewable energy sources is the cornerstone of the energy transition, and no type of energy is better than solar and wind power.
In the context of climate change, the energy transition with two particular types of energy at the centre of this movement, namely solar power and wind power, will definitely address the need for a better and more sustainable future.
In response to climate change, the green transition is adopted to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change, as well as preserve and improve the state of the environment.
The critical importance of and the strong commitment to energy transition in climate change response are highlighted.

✅ Đáp án: In the context of climate change, the energy transition with two particular types of energy at the centre of this movement, namely solar power and wind power, will definitely address the need for a better and more sustainable future.
🔎 Lí do: ✔️ Đoạn 1: giới thiệu bối cảnh và trọng tâm: “As we continue to face the impacts of climate change, having a green environment has become increasingly important…” → trước biến đổi khí hậu, năng lượng xanh là giải pháp thiết yếu; đồng thời nêu rõ “two particular types of energy at the centre of this movement are solar power and wind power.” ✔️ Đoạn 2: nói về solar power — ưu điểm và hạn chế: “This highly efficient form of energy produces zero emissions” và “the ability to generate solar power depends on the time of day and weather conditions.” → năng lượng mặt trời sạch nhưng phụ thuộc thời tiết. ✔️ Đoạn 3: nói về wind power — đặc điểm và tiềm năng: “Wind power doesn’t produce any greenhouse gases” và “it could be a viable way to provide energy for major cities and even for whole regions.” → điện gió ổn định, có thể cung cấp năng lượng cho khu vực lớn. ✔️ Đoạn 4: nêu tác động chung của hai nguồn năng lượng: “Wind and solar power contribute significantly to a green environment by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.” → hai nguồn này giúp giảm ô nhiễm và thúc đẩy phát triển bền vững. ✔️ Đoạn 5: kết luận: “Green energy sources will undoubtedly be the key.” → năng lượng xanh là chìa khóa cho tương lai bền vững. → Tất cả dẫn đến ý chính: chuyển đổi sang năng lượng xanh, đặc biệt là điện mặt trời và điện gió, là hướng đi tất yếu cho tương lai bền vững.
🚨 Những đáp án còn lại thì sao? ❌ In response to the challenges of climate change… no type of energy is better than solar and wind power: sai - bài không so sánh “tốt hơn” với các nguồn khác. ❌ In response to climate change, the green transition is adopted to reduce emissions…: bỏ qua trọng tâm “solar và wind power”. ❌ The critical importance of and the strong commitment to energy transition…: khái quát quá, không phản ánh nội dung cụ thể của các đoạn.
