Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D):
There are many sources of pollution in our modern world. At present, the most serious sources
are acid rain, car exhaust fumes and oil spills. Factory chimneys give out smoke that contains
sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. These gases combine with moisture in the atmosphere to form
sulphuric acid and nitric acid. When it rains, these acids dissolve in the rain and make it acidic.
Acid rain is believed to be the worst pollution of all. It has harmed aquatic life by turning many
lakes into lifeless bodies of water. Car exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and lead which are
highly poisonous. In big cities, the exhaust fumes build up and pose a health hazard to human
beings. Pollution of the sea by oil threatens marine life. Much of the oil comes from ships that clean
their fuel tanks while at sea. Offshore oil wells also discharge vast amounts of oil into the sea.
Pollution of the sea can also be caused by oil spills.

the United States, windmills have been used for pumping water or grinding grain. Today, the windmill's
modern equivalent - a wind turbine - can use the wind's energy to generate electricity.
Wind turbines, like windmills, are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. At 100 feet (30 meters)
or more above ground, they can take advantage of the faster and less turbulent wind.
Wind turbines can be used as stand-alone applications, or they can be connected to a utility power grid or
even combined with a photo voltaic (solar cell) system. For utility-scale sources of wind energy, a large
number of wind turbines are usually built close together to form a wind plant. Several electricity
providers today use wind plants to supply power to their customers.
Stand-alone wind turbines are typically used for water pumping or communications. However,
homeowners, farmers, and ranchers in windy areas can also use wind turbines as a way to cut down on the
use of electricity. Thus, they pay less money for their bills.
Small wind systems also have potential as distributed energy resources. Distributed energy resources refer
to a variety of small, modular power-generating technologies that can be combined to improve the
operation of the electricity delivery system.
1. The word “harnessing” in line1 is closest in meaning to…….
A. testing

B. controlling

C. playing

D. producing

C. growing plants

D. generating electricity

2. Wind turbines can be used for……..
A. water drainage
