The government is introducing strict new rules on the dumping of ____ by industry.
A. pesticides
B. exhaust fumes
C. toxic waste
D. emissions
Đáp án C
Kiến thức: từ vựng
Giải thích:
Toxic waste (chất thải độc hại) là một thuật ngữ phổ biến khi nói đến việc vứt bỏ các vật liệu hoặc hóa chất nguy hiểm, có thể gây hại cho sức khỏe và môi trường. Chính vì vậy, câu này đang nói về các quy định nghiêm ngặt đối với việc đổ bỏ chất thải độc hại từ ngành công nghiệp.
A. pesticides (thuốc trừ sâu): Mặc dù thuốc trừ sâu cũng có thể gây hại, nhưng "dumping" thuốc trừ sâu không phải là cụm từ thông dụng khi nói về các quy định nghiêm ngặt, và câu này có vẻ liên quan đến những thứ nguy hiểm hơn.
B. exhaust fumes (khí thải): Mặc dù khí thải có thể là một vấn đề nghiêm trọng, nhưng "dumping" không phải là cách diễn đạt thích hợp với khí thải, vì khí thải thường được thải ra không khí, không phải là "dumped."
D. emissions (lượng phát thải): Đây cũng là một từ liên quan đến việc thải ra khí hoặc chất từ một nguồn, nhưng "emissions" thường dùng để nói về khí thải, không phải chất thải vật lý.
Dịch: Chính phủ đang đưa ra các quy định mới nghiêm ngặt về việc đổ chất thải độc hại của ngành công nghiệp.

After years of hype and false starts, the shift to clean power has begun to accelerate at a pace that has taken the most experienced experts by surprise. Even leaders in the oil and gas sector have been forced to confront an existential question: will the 21st century be the last one for fossil fuels?
It is early, but the evidence is mounting. Wind and solar parks are being built at unprecedented rates, threatening the business models of established power companies. Electric cars that were hard to even buy eight years ago are selling at an exponential rate, in the process driving down the price of batteries that hold the key to unleashing new levels of green growth.
“This clean energy disruption has just started and what is striking is how much of a financial impact it is already having on some companies,” says Per Lekander, a portfolio manager at London’s Lansdowne Partners hedge fund, who has tracked global energy markets for more than 25 years.
“It hit the electricity sector first, in Europe in 2013 and then the US two years later. Now it has spread to the auto sector and I think the oil industry is next.”
The shift has come as increased government efforts to curb climate change and smog have driven down costs and spurred technical advances, creating a green energy industry that looks nothing like it did a decade ago: expensive and sluggish.
Today, China and India have picked up the baton and are driving a sector that has spread to every continent. The result was a banner year for green energy in 2016.
It is stated in the passage that in the past, green energy ____
