VI Read the following passage and choose the correct answer (A, B, C, or D)) for 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 are 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 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
51 The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses
A tidal waves B tides C storm surges D underwater earthquakes
52 According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves EXCEPT that
A they are the same as tsunamis
B they are caused by sudden changes in high and low tides
C this terminology is not used by the scientific community
Trang 5D they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves
53 The world “displaced” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to
A located B not pleased C filtered D moved
54 It can be inferred from the passage that tsunamis
A cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean
B generally reach heights greater than 40 meters
C are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean
D are often identified by ships on the ocean
55 As used in the passage, water that is “shallow” isn’t
A clear B deep C tidal D coastal
56 A main difference between tsunamis in Japan and in Hawaii is that tsunami in Japan are more likely to
A arrive without warning B be less of a problem
C come from greater distances D originate in Alaska
57 The possessive ‘their” in the third paragraph refers to
A the Hawaiian islands B thousands of miles
C these tsunamis D the inhabitants of Hawaii
58 A “calamitous” tsunami in the last paragraph is one that is
A expected B at fault C extremely calm D disastrous

accompanied the Krakatoa volcano
A occurred before efficient records were kept
B was not as strong as the tsunami in Lisbon
C was filmed as it was happening
D might not be the greatest tsunami ever
60 The passage suggests that the tsunami resulting from the Krakatoa volcano

D resulted in little damage
