When we accept the evidence of our unaided eyes and describe the Sun as a yellow star, we have summed up the
most important single fact about it-at this moment in time.
It appears probably, however, that sunlight will be the color we know for only a negligibly small part of the Sun's
history. Stars, like individuals, age and change. As we look out into space, we see around us stars at all stages of
evolution. There are faint blood-red dwarfs so cool that their surface temperature is a mere 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit,
there are searing ghosts blazing at 100,000 degrees Fahrenheit and almost too hot to be seen, for the great part of their
radiation is in the invisible ultraviolet range. Obviously, the "daylight" produced by any star depends on its temperature;
today(and for ages to come) our Sun is at about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and this means that most of the Sun's light is
concentrated in the yellow band of the spectrum, falling slowly in intensity toward both the longer and shorter light
waves.
That yellow "hump" will shift as the Sun evolves, and the light of day will change accordingly. It is natural to
assume that as the Sun grows older, and uses up its hydrogen fuel-which it is now doing at the spanking rate of half a
billion tons a second- it will become steadily colder and redder.
(Adapted from A collection of TOEFL Reading comprehension 4)

A. Faint dwarf stars B. The evolutionary cycle of the Sun

A. so strong B. far C. negligible D. unaided

A. yellow "hump" B. day C. Sun D. hydrogen fuel
Question 34. Why are very hot stars referred to as "ghosts"?
A. They are short- lived. B. They are mysterious.
C. They are frightening. D. They are nearly invisible
Question 35. Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The Sun’s history is still mysterious.
B. All the stars depend on the Sun for light.
C. The Sun is too hot to be seen by naked eyes.
D. The sun never uses up its hydrogen fuel.
Read the following 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
Modern civilization is heavily dependent on energy. Without reliable power sources, we couldn’t operate
machines, use transportation, communicate via the Internet, or do many other things. Although everyone recognizes the
importance of energy, deciding what kind of energy the world should use in the future is not a simple task. The two
leading candidates for this role are green energy and nuclear energy.
Currently, most of the energy we use is derived from fossil fuels. Although this energy source has got us this far,
there are several problems with it. For starters, it is a finite resource which is quickly running out. Some analysts have
even estimated that the Earth could run out of coal and oil within the next 50 years. Burning fossil fuels also creates large
amount of pollution, which is harmful to the environment. Although fossil fuels still provide the majority of our power,
governments are seeking better energy sources to use going forward.
Green energy is one option that is becoming increasingly attractive. It includes technologies such as solar, wind,
and hydro power. These are seen as clean sources of energy because they cause very little pollution. In addition, they are
completely renewable, so there is no danger that it will run out. The major disadvantage with green energy sources is
that they are not cheap.
The other alternative is nuclear power. Like green energy, it is also a renewable source of power that will not run
out, and it also doesn’t produce air pollution. In addition, nuclear power is more reliable than green energy, as it doesn’t
depend on sunshine, rain, or wind to operate. The major issues with nuclear power are safety concerns and nuclear
waste. Nuclear power plants create a considerable amount of nuclear waste which is extremely hazardous to people’s
health. If they happen to have a meltdown, this could destroy the surrounding area for years to come.
The recent nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan brought this reality into the spotlight once again. In response,
Germany announced it would close down eight of its nuclear plants immediately, and close the rest by 2022. Meanwhile,
other nations refuse to give up on nuclear power, stating that these disasters are rare. The debate of whether to use
green or nuclear power will likely continue for some time. In the end, it is quite possible that both energy sources will be
used to fuel our planet.
