Hurricane Katrina
A hurricane is a fiercely powerful, rotating form of tropical storm that can be 124 to l, 240 miles in
diameter The term hurricane is derived from Hurican, the name of a native American storm god
Hurricanes are typical of a calm central region of low pressure between 12 to 60 miles in diameter,
known as the eye They occur in tropical regions Over its lifetime, one of these storms can release as
much energy as 10, 000 nuclear bombs
The seed for hurricane formation is a cluster of thunderstorms over warm tropical waters
Hurricanes can only form and be fed when the sea-surface temperature exceeds 27℃ and the
surrounding atmosphere is calm These requirements are met between June and November in the
northern hemisphere
Under these conditions, large quantities of water evaporate and condense into clouds and rain -
releasing heat in the process It is this heat energy, combined with the rotation of the Earth that
drives a hurricane
When the warm column of air from the sea surface first begins to rise, it causes an area of low
pressure This in turn creates wind as air is drawn into the area This spinning wind drags up more
Trang 13moisture-laden air from the sea surface in a process that swells the storm Cold air falls back to the ocean surface through the eye and on the outside of the storm
Initially, when wind speeds reach 23 miles per hour, these mild, wet and grey weather systems are known as depressions Hurricane Katrina formed in this way over the south - eastern Bahamas on 23 August 2005 Katrina has had a devastating impact on the Gulf Coast of the US, leaving a disaster zone of 90, 000 square miles in its wake-almost the size of the UK Thousands have been killed or injured and more than half a million people have been displaced in a humanitarian crisis of a scale not seen in the US since the great depression The cost of the damage may top $100 billion
1 What is the eye of a hurricane?
A A native American storm god
B A rotating form of tropical storm that can be 124 to 1, 240 miles in diameter
C A calm central region of low pressure between 12 to 60 miles in diameter
D A storm that can release as much energy as 10, 000 nuclear bombs
2 Which of the following is NOT the “requirements” mentioned in the second paragraph?
A The tropical waters are warm and calm
B The sea-surface temperature exceeds 27℃
C There are thunderstorms over warm tropical waters
D The atmosphere surrounding the sea is calm
3 Which of the following is the best explanation of the word “drive” in the third paragraph?
A To guide, control or direct
B To force to go through or push in
C To supply the motive force or power and cause to function
D To force to move in a particular direction
4 What does the warm air mentioned in the fourth paragraph produce when it is rising from the surface?
sea-A High pressure B Low pressure C Wind D Cold air
5 What is NOT true of Hurricane Katrina according to the last paragraph?
A The area affected is almost the size of the UK
B It 1eft a disaster zone of 90, 000 square miles
C Half a million people are forced to leave the area
D The humanitarian crisis is as serious as that of the great depression

Today petroleum provides around 40% of the world’s energy needs, mostly fuelling automobiles Coal is still used, mostly in pover stations, to cover one-quarter of our energy needs, but it is the least efficient, unhealthiest and most environmentally damaging fossil fuel Natural gas reserves could plug some of the gap from oil, but reserves of that will not last into the 22nd century either Most experts predict we will exhaust easily accessible reserves within 50 years We could fast reach an energy crisis We need to rapidly develop sustainable solutions to fuel our future Less-polluting renewable energy sources offer a more practical long-term energy solution They may benefit the world’s poor too “Renewable” refers to the fact that these resources are not used faster than they can be replaced
Hydroelectric power is now the most common form of renewable energy, supplying around 20% of world electricity China’s three gorges Dam, which has just been completed, is the largest ever At five times the size of the US’s Hoover Dam, its 26 turbines will generate the equivalent energy of 18 coal-fired power stations It will satisfy 3% of China’s entire electricity demand
In 2003, the first commercial power station to harness tidal currents in the open sea opened in Norway It is designed like windmill, but others take the form of turbines
As prices fall, wind power has become the fastest growing type of electricity generation -
quadrupling worldwide between 1999 and 2005 Modern wind farms consist of turbines that
generate electricity Though it will be more expensive, there is more than enough wind to provide the world’s entire energy needs Wind farms come in onshore and offshore forms They can often end up at spots of natural beauty, and are often unpopular with residents And turbines are not totally benign - they can interfere with radar and leave a significant ecological footprint, altering climate and lilling sea birds Migrating birds may have more luck avoiding them Scotland is building europe’s largest wind farm, which wil power 200,000 homes The UK’s goal is to generate onefifth of power from renewable sources, mainly wind, by 2020 But this may cause problems, because wind is unreliable
1 According to the passage, which of the following is the most polluting energy resource?
A Petroleum B Coal C Natural gas D Water
2 China’s Three Gorges Dam _
A is the first hydroelectric dam in the world
B is of the same size as the US’s Hoover Dam
C can generate around 3% of world electricity
Trang 15D is the largest hydroelectric dam in the world
3 Which country took the lead in making use of tidal currents to produce power in 2003?
A The UK B China C Norway D The US
4 One of the problems with wind farms is that
A there is not enough wind B wind is not reliable
C they can only be built on the sea D they might influence the world economy
5 According to the passage, resources like wind are
A renewable B recyclable C damagin D scarce

Weight on and off the Earth
We are so used to our life on the surface of the earth that it can be quite an effort for our mind to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted Because we can feel that things are heavy, we think of “weight” as being a fixed quality in an object, but it is not really fixed at all If you could take
a one-pound packet of butter 4,000 miles out from the earth, it would weigh only a quarter of a pound
Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4,000 miles out into space? The reason is this: All objects have a natural attraction for all other objects; this is called gravitational attraction But this power of attraction between two objects gets weaker as they get farther apart When the butter was at the surface of the earth, it was 4,000 miles from the center When we took the butter 4,000 miles out, it was 8,000 from the center, which is twice the distance If you double the distance between two objects, their gravitational attraction decreases four times (two times two) If you treble the distance, it gets nine times weaker (three times three) and so on
So this is one of the first things we need to remember: that the weight of an object in space is not the same as its weight on the surface of the earth
What about the weight of our pound of butter on the surface of the moon? At the distance the pull of the earth is about 4,000 times smaller than it is here on the surface, so we can forget all about the earth-pull on our butter
On the other hand, on the moon there will be an attraction between the butter and the moon, but the butter will weigh only about one-sixth as much as it does on the earth This is because the moon is so much smaller than the earth The amount of gravitational pull that a body produces depends on the amount of material in it A packet of butter has a gravitational pull of its own; but this is very small in relation to the pull of something as large as the moon, or the earth, or the sun
1 How much would four pounds of tea weigh if it was taken 4,000 miles out from the surface of the earth?
A 1 pound B 2 pounds C 3 pounds D 4 pounds
2 We find it hard to break free from ideas connected with living on the earth because
A it demands too great an effort for us to do so
B we are too familiar with the way things are to question the ideas
Trang 17C we have proved that those ideas are correct
D we are so sure of ourselves that we never doubt anything on the earth
3 According to the passage, “weight” should be understood in the sense that
A it is fixed if it is outside the earth's gravitational pull
B it decreases four times when it is 4,000 miles from the earth's center
C it varies with the change of the gravitational attraction between two objects
D things increase in amount as they are closer to the earth's surface
4 We do not feel the gravitational pull of a packet of butter because
A it is too small to have a gravitational pull of its own
B its pull is so small that we tend to ignore it
C its pull disappears in the presence of the earth's gravitation
D it tends to melt and loses its gravitational pull
5 The main idea of this passage is
A different weight systems in different places
B freedom from traditional ideas
C traveling from the earth to the moon
D the effect of gravitation on weight
