Reading the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to

Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their name from the Japanese expression for "high water in a harbor" These waves are also referred to

by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides Scientists often refer to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from undersea seismic activity

Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater

earthquake or volcano, for example, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced.

This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves These waves can travel great distances at speeds close to 700 kilometers per hour In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable

amplitude, often no more than one or two meters It is when they hit the shallow water the coast

that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 meters

Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis arc Japan and Hawaii Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often comes with little warning and can therefore prove disastrous Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however, originate

thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance

to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for warning of their imminent arrival.

Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii In 1755, Europe experienced a

calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive

tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon

The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the

Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel

Question 45: The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses

A underwater earthquakes B storm surges C tides D tidal waves

Question 46: According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves EXCEPT

that

A they're caused by sudden changes in high and low tides

B they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves

C they are the same as tsunamis

D this terminology is not used by the scientific community

Question 47: The world "displaced" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to

Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that tsunamis

A are often identified by ships on the ocean

B generally reach heights greater than 40 meters

C are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean

D cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean

Question 49: As used in the passage, water that is "shallow" isn't

Question 50: A main difference between tsunamis in Japan and in Hawaii is that tsunamis in

Japan are more likely to

A come from greater distances B be less of a problem

C originate in Alaska D arrive without warning

Question 51: The possessive "their" in the third paragraph refers to

C the Hawaiian islands D thousands of miles

Question 52: A "calamitous" tsunami in the last paragraph is one that is

A at fault B expected C disastrous D extremely calm

Question 53: From the expression "on record" in the last paragraph, it can be inferred the

tsunami that accompanied the Krakatoa volcano

A might not be the greatest tsunami ever B was not as strong as the tsunami in Lisbon

C was filmed as it was happening D occurred before efficient records were kept Question 54: The passage suggests that - the tsunami resulting from the Kr- volcano

A was unobserved outside of the Indonesian islands

B resulted in little damage

C caused volcanic explosions in the English Channel

D was far more destructive close to the source than far away

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer.

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become

commonplace One should be wary , however, of assuming that silent reading came about

simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information

or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed

mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership (độc giả

đặc biệt) on the other By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for

the oral reader The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered

what the term “reading” implied

Question 55: Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because .

A people relied on reading for entertainment

B silent reading had not been discovered

C there were few places available for private reading

D few people could read to themselves

Question 56: The word “commonplace” in the first paragraph mostly means “ ”.

Question 57: The development of silent reading during the last century indicated .

A an increase in the average age of readers

B an increase in the number of books

C a change in the nature of reading

D a change in the status of literate people

Question 58: Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of .

A the decreasing need to read aloud

B the development of libraries

C the increase in literacy

D the decreasing number of listeners

Question 59: It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading

materials was an indication of

A a decline of standards of literacy

B a change in the readers’ interest

C an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes

D an improvement of printing techniques

Question 60: The phrase “a specialised readership” in paragraph 4 mostly means “ ”.

A a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge

B a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge

C a reading volume for particular professionals

D a status for readers specialised in mass media

Question 61: The phrase “oral reader” in the last paragraph mostly means “a person who

”

A is good at public speaking

B practises reading to an audience

C takes part in an audition

D is interested in spoken language

Question 62: All might be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared literacy

culture EXCEPT _

A the inappropriate reading skills

B the specialised readership

C the diversity of reading materials

D the printed mass media

Question 63: Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A Reading aloud was more common in the past than it is today.

B Not all printed mass media was appropriate for reading aloud.

C The decline of reading aloud was wholly due to its distracting effect.

D The change in reading habits was partly due to the social, cultural and technological

changes

Question 64: The writer of this passage is attempting to .

A explain how reading habits have developed

B change people’s attitudes to reading

C show how reading methods have improved

D encourage the growth of reading
