While some forecasting methods had limited success predicting the 1997 El Nino a few months in advance, the ColumbiaUniversity researchers say their method can predict large El Nino events up to two years in advance That would be a boonfor governments, farmers and others seeking to plan for the droughts and heavy rainfall El Nino can produce in various parts
of the world
Using a computer, the researchers matched sea-surface temperatures to later El Nino occurrences between 1980 and 2000and were then able to anticipate El Nino events dating back to 1857, using prior sea-surface temperatures The results werereported In the latest issue of the journal Nature
The researchers say their method is not perfect, but Bryan Weare, a meteorologist at the University of California, Davis, whowas not involved in the work, said it "suggests El Nino is indeed predictable." "This will probably convince others to searcharound more for even better methods," he added
The new method "makes it possible to predict El Nino at long lead times," said lead author Dake Chen of ColumbiaUniversity's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory "Other models also use sea-surface temperatures, but they have not looked
as far back because they need other data, which is only available for recent decades," Chen said
The ability to predict the warming and cooling of the Pacific is of immense importance The 1997 El Nino, for example,caused an estimated $20 billion in damage worldwide, offset by beneficial effects in other areas, said David Anderson, of theEuropean Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts in Reading, England The 1877 El Nino, meanwhile, coincided with afailure of the Indian monsoon and a famine that killed perhaps 40 million In India and China, prompting the development ofseasonal forecasting, Anderson said
When El Nino hit in 1991 and 1997, 200 million people were affected by flooding in China alone, according to a 2002United Nations report
While predicting smaller El Nino events remains tricky, the ability to predict larger ones should be increased to at least ayear if the new method is confirmed, Anderson wrote in an accompanying commentary
El Nino tends to develop between April and June and reaches its peak between December and February The warming tends
to last between 9 and 12 months and occurs every two to seven years
Chen said the new forecasting method does not predict any major El Nino events in the next two years, although a weakwarming towards the end of this year is possible
Question 31: The Columbia University researchers studied the relationship between the past El Nino occurrences and
A wind direction and ocean current B the droughts and heavy rainfall
Question 32: It is stated in the passage that Bryan Weare
A made a contribution to predicting El Nino, which was highly praised by other meteorologists.
B had set up a special institute in America to study El Nino.
C worked at the California University, but he used to live at the Columbia University.
D didn't do research on El Nino with researchers.
Question 33: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A According to a 2002 United Nations report, the flooding in China caused by El Nino in 1991 and 1997 affected
200 million Chinese people
B The 1877 El Nino happened at the same time as a failure of the Indian monsoon and a famine killed perhaps
40 million in India and China
C Due to the severe damage El Nino can cause to human life and property, many researchers have devoted
themselves to El Nino-related research
D The method used by the Columbia University researchers can predict El Nino a few months in advance.
Trang 4Question 34: The word "a boon" in paragraph 1 probably means
A new information B scientific evidence C good news D living condition Question 35: Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A Evidence: Effects of El Nino on human lives B Study: El Nino can be predicted
C Research: How Does the El Nino Develop? D El Nino: Millions of people threatened with hunger Question 36: The word "immense" in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to
Question 37: The word "tricky" in paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to
Question 38: According to the passage, it takes about for El Nino to reach its peak.

While some forecasting methods had limited success predicting the 1997 El Nino a few months in advance, the ColumbiaUniversity researchers say their method can predict large El Nino events up to two years in advance That would be a boonfor governments, farmers and others seeking to plan for the droughts and heavy rainfall El Nino can produce in various parts
of the world
Using a computer, the researchers matched sea-surface temperatures to later El Nino occurrences between 1980 and 2000and were then able to anticipate El Nino events dating back to 1857, using prior sea-surface temperatures The results werereported In the latest issue of the journal Nature
The researchers say their method is not perfect, but Bryan Weare, a meteorologist at the University of California, Davis, whowas not involved in the work, said it "suggests El Nino is indeed predictable." "This will probably convince others to searcharound more for even better methods," he added
The new method "makes it possible to predict El Nino at long lead times," said lead author Dake Chen of ColumbiaUniversity's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory "Other models also use sea-surface temperatures, but they have not looked
as far back because they need other data, which is only available for recent decades," Chen said
The ability to predict the warming and cooling of the Pacific is of immense importance The 1997 El Nino, for example,caused an estimated $20 billion in damage worldwide, offset by beneficial effects in other areas, said David Anderson, of the
Trang 12European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts in Reading, England The 1877 El Nino, meanwhile, coincided with afailure of the Indian monsoon and a famine that killed perhaps 40 million In India and China, prompting the development ofseasonal forecasting, Anderson said.
When El Nino hit In 1991 and 1997, 200 million people were affected by flooding in China alone, according to a 2002United Nations report
While predicting smaller El Nino events remains tricky, the ability to predict larger ones should be increased to at least ayear if the new method is confirmed, Anderson wrote in an accompanying commentary
El Nino tends to develop between April and June and reaches its peak between December and February The warming tends
to last between 9 and 12 months and occurs every two to seven years
Chen said the new forecasting method does not predict any major El Nino events in the next two years, although a weakwarming towards the end of this year is possible
Question 43: It is stated in the passage that Bryan Weare
A had set up a special institute in America to study El Nino.
B made a contribution to predicting El Nino, which was highly praised by other meteorologists.
C didn't do research on El Nino with researchers.
D worked at the California University, but he used to live at the Columbia University.
Question 44: The Columbia University researchers studied the relationship between the past El Nino occurrences and
A wind direction and ocean current B some forecasting methods
C the droughts and heavy rainfall D sea-surface temperatures
Question 45: The word "a boon" in paragraph 1 probably means
A new information B scientific evidence C good news D living condition
Question 46: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A Due to the severe damage El Nino can cause to human life and property, many researchers have devoted
themselves to El Nino-related research
B The method used by the Columbia University researchers can predict El Nino a few months in advance.
C The 1877 El Nino happened at the same time as a failure of the Indian monsoon and a famine killed perhaps
40 million in India and China
D According to a 2002 United Nations report, the flooding in China caused by El Nino in 1991 and 1997 affected
200 million Chinese people
Question 47: According to the passage, it takes about for El Nino to reach its peak.
Question 48: The word "immense" in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to
Question 49: The word "tricky" in paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to
Question 50: Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A Study: El Nino can be predicted B El Nino: Millions of people threatened with hunger
C Research: How Does the El Nino Develop? D Evidence: Effects of El Nino on human lives
