Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To
generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed on
house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy.
Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages. Wind and water power
rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent
and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long
lifetime. However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy
during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to
work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as
traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive. Scientists
