English Prediction For Even Semester 2009

ENGLISH PREDICTION FOR EVEN SEMESTER 2009 Text 1 There are three separate sources of hazard in the process of supplying energy by nuclear power. The radioactive material must travel from its place of manufacture to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are solidly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. There are normally only two methods of transport available, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these involve close contact with the general public, since the routes are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas. Next, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes no radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientist have invented. For example they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into abandoned mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily crack the containers open. Finally, there is the problem of accidental exposure due to a leak or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two hazards, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. Nevertheless, it can happen. Separately, these three types of risks are not great cause for concern. On the whole though, the probability of disaster is still high. Answer the question number 1-5 based on the text. 1) The whole text tells us about

Radioactive wastes become no radioactive when they are sunk in the sea. d. Only earthquakes can change radioactive wastes into no radioactive wastes. e. Natural disasters may cause very serious leaks in buried containers of radioactive wastes. 4) We may conclude from the third paragraph that the problem of

accidental exposure is caused by a. human error b. an earthquake c. radioactive wastes d. hazards e. bad design of the nuclear station 5) In spite of the problems which are likely occur in supplying energy
