Reading the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
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


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

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

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

D. this terminology is not used by the scientific community

A. located
B. filtered
C. moved

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 ..........

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

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 “______”.
A. for everybody’s use
B. most preferable
C. attracting attention
D. widely used
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 “______”.
