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 powerfiil
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 from 23 to 29
Under certain circumstances, the human body must cope with gases at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure For example, gas pressures increase rapidly during a dive made with scuba gear because the breathing equipment allows divers to
stay underwater longer and dive deeper The pressure exerted on the human body increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10
meters of depth in seawater, so that at 30 meters in seawater a diver is exposed to a pressure of about 4 atmospheres The pressure of the gases being breathed must equal the external pressure applied to the body; otherwise breathing is very difficult Therefore all of the gases in the air breathed by a scuba diver at 40 meter are present at five times their usual pressure Nitrogen, which composes 80 percent of the air we breathe, usually causes a balmy feeling of well-being at this
Trang 3pressure At a depth of 5 atmospheres, nitrogen causes symptoms resembling alcohol intoxication, known as nitrogen narcosis Nitrogen narcosis apparently results from a direct effect on the brain of the large amounts of nitrogen dissolved in the blood Deep dives are less dangerous if helium is substituted for nitrogen, because under these pressures helium does not exert a similar narcotic effect
As a scuba diver descends, the pressure of nitrogen in the lungs increases Nitrogen then diffuses from the lungs to the blood, and from the blood to body tissues The reverse occurs when the diver surfaces; the nitrogen pressure in the lungs falls and the nitrogen diffuses from the tissues into the blood, and from the blood into the lungs If the return to the surface is too
rapid, nitrogen in the tissues and blood cannot diffuse out rapidly enough and nitrogen bubbles are formed They can cause
severe pains, particularly around the joints
Another complication may result if the breath is held during ascent During ascent from a depth of 10 metres, the volume of air in the lungs will double because the air pressure at the surface is only half of what it was at 10 metres This change in
volume may cause the lungs to distend and even rupture This condition is called air embolism To avoid this event, a diver
must ascend slowly, never at a rate exceeding the rise of the exhaled air bubbles, and must exhale during ascent
Question 23: It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following presents the greatest danger to a diver?
A Nitrogen diffusion B Pressurized helium C An air embolism D Nitrogen bubbles
Question 24: What happens to nitrogen in body tissues if a diver ascends too quickly?
A It forms bubbles B It goes directly to the brain.
C It has a narcotic effect D It is reabsorbed by the lungs.
Question 25: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A The effects of pressure on gases in the human body B How to prepare for a deep dive
C The equipment divers use D The symptoms of nitrogen bubbles in the bloodstream Question 26: The word "rupture" in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
Question 27: The word "exert" in bold in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
Question 28: The word "They" in bold in paragraph 2 refers to
Question 29: What should a diver do when ascending?
A Rise slowly B Breathe helium C Relax completely D Breathe faster
