Tsunamis, whose name derives from the Japanese expression for "high wave in a harbor", are giant sea waves These waves are quite different from storm surges They are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves although they have nothing to with tides Scientists often refer to them as seismic sea waves, which is far more appropriate because they are often the result of undersea seismic activity
Tsunamis can be caused when the sea floor suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano, 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 kilometres per hour In the open ocean, tsunami waves are not very high, often no more than one or two metres It is when they hit the shallow waters near the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 metres
31 The passage mainly discusses
A storm surges B tsunamis C tidal waves D earthquakes 32 The word “them” in the passage refers to
A tidal waves B tsunamis C storm surges D sea waves 33 All of five following is true about tidal waves EXCEPT
A the name refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves B they are as another name for tsunamis
C they are caused by sudden changes in high and low tides D this term is not used by the scientists
34 The word “shallow” in the passage is closest in meaning to
A tidal B not deep C not clear D coastal
35 It can be understood from the passage that tsunamis A are often identified by ships on the ocean
B are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean C generally reach heights greater than 40 metres
D cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean
II Read the passage and choose the best option A, B, C, D to fill in each gap (1 point)
