 Sunlight is solar energy. Sunlight is needed for growing plants that you eat to get energy. Sunlight
is also used to make clean electricity. Burning fossil fuels to make electricity pollutes our atmosphere and
rivers. Fossil fuels are expensive and limited sources of energy. Nuclear fission is used to create enormous
amount of heat and electricity. However, nuclear fission forms dangerous radioactive waste.
 Sunlight offers many ways to get energy. A window can allow warm sunlight into your room. Solar
water-heating systems can use sunlight to warm the water for your home, swimming pool and school.
Sunlight also warms the Earth and causes wind. Electricity can be made by wind generators.
 Photovoltaic, or PV system use a type of material that converts sunlight into electricity. PV
systems can power your air conditioner or a satellite like the International Space Station. PV systems are
also used to run a calculator, recharge cell phone, or even power lightweight cars.
 Sunlight is also changed into electricity by concentrating solar power or CSP systems. CSP systems
have mirrors that focus the sunlight. The concentrated sunlight turns water into steam which turns a turbine
that is connected to an electric generator. A CSP system usually uses sunlight to make steam. The stored 
heat is used to make electricity at night. During cloud days, many CSP plants can also burn natural gas to 
provide the heat that is used to turn water into steam. Sunlight provides the energy needed to grow plants 
and make large amount of environmentally friendly heat and electricity. Solar energy can provide power 
today and for a long time in the future.

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 from 36 to 42.
 Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of pollution, it is 
very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals is highly subjective 
and, therefore, variable. Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly irritating, whereas exposure to 
higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a 
by-product of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the 
quality of life for those who are exposed to it.
 Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is, 
therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection. 
 Noise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes accustomed. 
Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. 
In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict, the skin pales, and muscles tense. 
Infact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response
