Read the text and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D to each question below. Tsunamis, whose name derives from the Japanese expression for ʻhigh wave in a harbourʼ, 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 do 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. 1. The passage mainly discusses ___. A.tidal waves B.tides C.tsunamis D.storm surges 2. All of the following is true about tidal waves EXCEPT ___. A. they are as another name for tsunamis B. they are caused by sudden changes in high and low tides C. this term is not used by the scientists D. the name refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves 3. The word ʻthemʼ in the passage refers to ___. A. tidal waves B.tsunamis C.storm surges D.sea waves
3. 4. The word ʻdisplacedʼ in the passage is closest in meaning to ___. A.located B.not pleased C.filtered D.moved 5. The word ʻshallowʼ in the passage mostly means ___. A.not clear B.tidal C.coastal D.not deep II. Read the text carefully, then do the tasks. Vietnam usually has a dozen storms every year from June through the end of November, and most of which occur in the Central and northern provinces. November 2nd, 1997, however, was an unexpected day when the major storm Linda raged in the South. Linda was the worst typhoon in Southern Vietnam over 100 years. Formed in the sea of the Philippines, Linda strengthened as it moved westward. Later, it struck extreme Southern Vietnam with winds of 100 kilometres an hour. Over 3000 people were reported lost and died. Ca Mau province, suffered a direct hit by the storm, had the most damage. Gusts and heavy rainfalls caused flooding, destroyed crops, damaged about 200,000 houses and left about 383,000 people homeless. Linda later struck Thailand, causing flash flooding and at least 164 deaths. The storm also affected Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Cambodia to a lesser degree.
