Read 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.
There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently linked to
one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation when they
hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the outer layer of
the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates. There are a few
enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid. As a
result, the plates are in constant - yet slow - motion. The plates may move away from or towards other plates.

In some cases, they collide violently with the plates adjoining them. The movement of the plates causes
tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up. When it is released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only scientific
instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they cause little
harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to
collapse. They may additionally injure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change
it appearance.
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's oceans.
Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water in the ocean.
When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all directions
from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousnads
of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunamis
to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami - one more than ten meters in height can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers
of people.

23. The word "perceive" in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
.
A. locate
B. comprehend

24. Which of the following is true regarding the crust?
A. It is thicker on land than it is under the water.
B. The mantle beneath it keeps it from moving too much.
C. It is the smallest of the Earth's three layers.
D. There many separate pieces that make it up.
25. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 3 about earthquakes?
A. How many people they typically kill
B. How often powerful ones take place

Read 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.
There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently linked to
one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation when they

hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the outer layer of
the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates. There are a few
enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid. As a
result, the plates are in constant - yet slow - motion. The plates may move away from or towards other plates.
In some cases, they collide violently with the plates adjoining them. The movement of the plates causes
tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up. When it is released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only scientific
instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they cause little
harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to
collapse. They may additionally injure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change
it appearance.
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's oceans.
Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water in the ocean.
When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all directions
from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousnads
of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunamis
to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami - one more than ten meters in height can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers
of people.
4. Which of the following is true regarding the crust?
A. There many separate pieces that make it up.
B. The mantle beneath it keeps it from moving too much.

There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently linked to
one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation when they
hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the outer layer of
the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates. There are a few
enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid. As a
Trang 3/4 - Mã đề: 252


result, the plates are in constant - yet slow - motion. The plates may move away from or towards other plates.
In some cases, they collide violently with the plates adjoining them. The movement of the plates causes
tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up. When it is released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only scientific
instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they cause little
harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to
collapse. They may additionally injure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change
it appearance.
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's oceans.
Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water in the ocean.
When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all directions
from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousnads
of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunamis
to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami - one more than ten meters in height can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers
of people.

Read 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.

There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently linked to
one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation when they
hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the outer layer of
the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates. There are a few
enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid. As a
result, the plates are in constant - yet slow - motion. The plates may move away from or towards other plates.
In some cases, they collide violently with the plates adjoining them. The movement of the plates causes
tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up. When it is released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only scientific
instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they cause little
harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to
collapse. They may additionally injure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change
it appearance.

There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently linked to

The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the outer layer of
the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates. There are a few
enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid. As a
result, the plates are in constant - yet slow - motion. The plates may move away from or towards other plates.
In some cases, they collide violently with the plates adjoining them. The movement of the plates causes
tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up. When it is released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only scientific
instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they cause little

harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to
collapse. They may additionally injure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change
it appearance.
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's oceans.
Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water in the ocean.
When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all directions
from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousnads
of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunamis
to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami - one more than ten meters in height can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers
of people.
