Questions number 6 – 10 refer to the text below.
There are three reasons why solar energy generation has not developed more rapidly.
First, the cost per watt of solar cell generation is more expensive than that steam power or nuclear power generation. Therefore, researchers are still looking for ways to make solar cells cheaper.
Second, nature plays a large part in solar cell generation. For example, some days are cloudy and rainy; because there is not always fine weather, solar energy cannot be generated every day. No solar energy is generated at night. Consequently, solar cells must have the capacity to store energy for use during these times, and these storage cells are very expensive, As a result, only in low latitude areas can enough solar energy be generated effectively at these times.
Finally, building plants for solar cell generation is extremely expensive. A very large space is needed, and the need for maintenance is constant.
For all these reason, it is very difficult to develop solar plants and make solar cell energy available to the general public for a competitive price. Despite all these problems, I believe the day will come when we use solar energy cells because they are a form of clean energy with no pollution.
6. Efforts have been made to develop solar cell energy because __________
a. it can be Generated at any time
b. it is reversible
c. it is easy to generate
d. it does not cause any pollution
e. it is not costly
7. The development of solar energy for public has been rather slow due to the following, EXCEPT________
a. the nature of solar energy it self
b. the high cost of production
c. the condition of nature
d. the high construction costs of the plant
e. the daily maintenance of the plant.
8. Which of the following statement is TRUE about solar cells?
a. Great progress has been made in the development of solar cell energy.
b. Solar cells can generate and store energy during the night.
c. Unlike solar cell energy, nuclear energy is more expensive to generate.
d. Producing solar energy is quite a profitable business nowadays.
e. Generating solar cell energy greatly depends on the condition of the weather.
9. The author expects that __________
a. effort to develop solar cell energy will be stopped immediately
