Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and take millions of years to form, renewable energy sources are virtually limitless. The most common types of renewable energy include solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal energy.Solar energy is harnessed by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. These cells are typically made of silicon and are arranged in panels to capture more sunlight. Solar energy is a clean and abundant source of power that can be used to generate electricity for homes, businesses, and even entire communities.Wind energy is generated by converting kinetic energy from wind into electrical power. Wind turbines are the most common devices used to capture wind energy. These turbines consist of large blades that rotate when wind blows, which then spins a turbine to generate electricity.Hydroelectric power is produced by using water flow to spin turbines. This type of energy is often harnessed by building dams across rivers to create reservoirs of water. When the water is released from the reservoir, it flows through turbines, generating electricity.Geothermal energy is obtained by utilizing the Earth’s internal heat.Geothermal power plants use steam or hot water to generate electricity. This form of energy is considered to be one of the most reliable and sustainable sources of power.Questions:1.What is the main purpose of photovoltaic cells in solar energy systems?a) To capture windb) To convert sunlight into electricityc) To store water in reservoirsd) To heat homes during winter2.Which of the following is a direct consequence of building a dam for hydroelectric power?a) Increased soil erosionb) Increased water pollutionc) Decreased water flow in the riverd) Increased deforestation3.Why is geothermal energy considered to be a reliable source of power?a) It is easily accessible in most parts of the worldb) It is free from any environmental pollutionc) It can be generated continuously without any interruptionsd) It is cheaper than other forms of renewable energyAnswers:1.b) To convert sunlight into electricity2.c) Decreased water flow in the river3.c) It can be generated continuously without any interruptions三、完型填空（15分）The following passage is about a school event.
