HURRICANES AND TORNADOES
Two of the most dangerous storms which afflict America are hurricanes and tornadoes They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction and cause millions of dollars worth of
damage to life and property every year
Hurricanes which usually develop between July and October are similar to cyclones and originate over thewater in the Caribbean Sea They move upwards hitting the mainland of America somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean Once they hit land they carry tremendous power with driving rain and wind These winds can attain speeds of over 75 mph And cover an area of over 500 miles in diameter At the center of the storm there is an "eye" with relatively fair weather and warm, dry air aloft The diameter of the eye is usually about 32 kilometers When the eye passes the relief is only temporary but soon the wind and rain will suddenly reappear from the opposite direction
Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost Most people who live near the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm passes Floods are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water level The high winds, coastal flooding and torrential rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage
People living in the wake of a storm are given ample warning to protect their homes Flashlights or candles are be prepared in case of electric- power failures and plenty of fresh water should be saved as precautions against the pollution of water supplies by flooding
If one should travel inland across the Great Plains and the prairie states of America, one will most likely not encounter a hurricane, but there is another kind of storm in the Midwest which is equally feared It is called a tornado Tornadoes are violent low- pressured storms with an intense updraft near their center which is capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground A tornado, therefore, is a dark, funnel- shaped cloud containing violently rotating air It can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and railway cars Like a vacuum cleaner across a rug, it sucks up into the air anything which may lie in its path These storms occur most often during the summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain.The sky turns black as dust is sucked up into the air Tornadoes travel normally at around 60 kilometers per hour and the winds can reach 800 kilometers per hour in the most violent storms Tornadoes are most frequent in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and especially in the central plains area of the Mississippi basin where about 150 occur each year Tornadoes may also strike the southern states in winter and have even been known to develop in the northeast
Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause million of dollars worth of damage each year Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or ignored When they come they must be endured with the hope that one survives their fury and wrath

V Read the passage and choose the best answer.
Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10, the Apollo 11 astronauts made their historic landing on the
surface of the Moon This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study; from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon, scientists have been able to determine much about
the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its
composition
The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably
ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil
In addition to the Moon soil, astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:
Basalt and breccia Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the Earth Since basalt is formed
under extremely high temperatures, the presence of this type of rock is an indication that the temperature of the Moon was once extremely hot Breccia, the other kind of rock brought back by the astronauts, was formed during the impact of falling objects on the surface of the Moon This second type of rock consists of small pieces of rock compressed together by the force of impact Gases such as hydrogen and helium were found in some of the rocks, and scientists believe that these gases were carried to the Moon by the solar wind, the streams of gases that are
constantly emitted by the Sun.
46 The paragraph preceding the passage most likely discusses -.
A the inception of the Apollo space program. B a different space trip.

C Streams of gases D Large chunks of volcanic lava
49 The author's purpose in this passage is to
A explain some of the things learned from space flights
B describe some rock and soil samples
C propose a new theory about the creation of the Moon
D demonstrate the difference between basalt and breccia
50 Which of the following was NOT brought back to the Earth by the astronauts?
51 It is implied in the passage that scientists believe that the gases found in the Moon rocks
A were not originally from the Moon B were created inside the rocks
C travelled from the Moon to the Sun D caused the Moon's temperature to rise
52 The word "emitted" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to
53 It can be inferred from the passage that -
A rock and soil samples were only some of a myriad of significant items from the Moon.
B scientists do not believe that it is necessary to return to the Moon.
C scientists learned relatively little from the Moon rock and soil samples.
D the only items of importance that astronauts brought back from the Moon were rock and soil samples.

V Read the passage and choose the best answer.
Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10, the Apollo 11 astronauts made their historic landing on the
surface of the Moon This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study; from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon, scientists have been able to determine much about
the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its
composition
The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably
ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil
In addition to the Moon soil, astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:
Basalt and breccia Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the Earth Since basalt is formed
under extremely high temperatures, the presence of this type of rock is an indication that the temperature of the Moon was once extremely hot Breccia, the other kind of rock brought back by the astronauts, was formed during the impact of falling objects on the surface of the Moon This second type of rock consists of small pieces of rock compressed together by the force of impact Gases such as hydrogen and helium were found in some of the rocks, and scientists believe that these gases were carried to the Moon by the solar wind, the streams of gases that are
constantly emitted by the Sun.
Trang 1646 The paragraph preceding the passage most likely discusses -.
A previous Moon landing. B the inception of the Apollo space program.
C a different space trip D astronaut training.

48 According to the passage, breccia was formed
A from volcanic lava B when objects struck the Moon
C from the interaction of helium and hydrogen D when streams of gases hit the surface of the Moon
49 It can be inferred from the passage that -
A rock and soil samples were only some of a myriad of significant items from the Moon.
B scientists do not believe that it is necessary to return to the Moon.
C scientists learned relatively little from the Moon rock and soil samples.
D the only items of importance that astronauts brought back from the Moon were rock and soil samples.
50 Which of the following was not brought back to the Earth by the astronauts?
51 The author's purpose in this passage is to
A propose a new theory about the creation of the Moon
B explain some of the things learned from space flights
C demonstrate the difference between basalt and breccia
D describe some rock and soil samples
52 According to the passage, what does Moon soil consist of?
A Tiny pieces of stones and glass B Large chunks of volcanic lava
53 It is implied in the passage that scientists believe that the gases found in the Moon rocks

HURRICANES AND TORNADOES
Two of the most dangerous storms which afflict America are hurricanes and tornadoes They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction and cause millions of dollars worth of
damage to life and property every year
Hurricanes which usually develop between July and October are similar to cyclones and originate over the water in the Caribbean Sea They move upwards hitting the mainland of America somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean Once they hit land they carry tremendous power with driving rain and wind These winds can attain speeds of over 75 mph And cover an area of over 500 miles in diameter At the center of the storm there is an "eye" with relatively fair weather and warm, dry air aloft The diameter of the eye is usually about 32 kilometers When the eye passes the relief is only temporary but soon the wind and rain will suddenly reappear from the opposite direction
Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost Most people who live near the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm passes Floods are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water level The high winds , coastal flooding and torrential rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage
People living in the wake of a storm are given ample warning to protect their homes Flashlights or candles are be prepared in case of electric- power failures and plenty of fresh water should be saved as precautions against the pollution of water supplies by flooding
If one should travel inland across the Great Plains and the prairie states of America, one will most likely not encounter a hurricane, but there is another kind of storm in the Midwest which is equally feared It is called a tornado Tornadoes are violent low- pressured storms with an intense updraft near their center which is capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground A tornado, therefore, is a dark, funnel- shaped cloud containing violently rotating air It can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and railway cars Like a vacuum cleaner across a rug, it sucks up into the air anything which may lie in its path These storms occur most often during the summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain.The sky turns black as dust is sucked up into the air Tornadoes travel normally at around 60 kilometers per hour and the winds can reach 800 kilometers per hour in the most violent storms Tornadoes are most frequent in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and especially in the central plains area of the Mississippi basin where about 150 occur each year Tornadoes may also strike the southern states in winter and have even been known to develop in the northeast
Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause million of dollars worth of damage each year Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or ignored When they come they must be endured with the hope that one survives their fury and wrath
71 What is the major difference between a hurricane and a tornado?
A A tornado is not accompanied by rain B A tornado has more wind and speed.
C Hurricanes cover a large area D Hurricanes can cause great damage.
72 Where can one encounter tornadoes in America?
A Near coastal areas B Along the southern coast
C Across the great Plains D Near the Gulf of Mexico
73 Which is not true of tornadoes?
A They cause millions of dollars worth of damage.
B They can be found not only in the Midwest but also in the northeast.
Trang 18C They occur only during the summer.
D The sky turns black as dust is forced up into the air.
74 What are two of the most dangerous storms which afflict America?
A Hurricanes and typhoons B Hurricanes and tornadoes
C Thunderstorms and hurricanes D Typhoons and thunderstorms
75 At which part of the year do hurricanes usually develop?
A The develop throughout the year B July and August only
C From the seventh to the ninth month D Between July and October
76 What is the center of a hurricane called?
A The interior B The center C The middle D The eye
77 How wide is the diameter of the eye?
A approximately 32 kilometers B exactly 32 kilometers
C 500 miles D 75 kilometers
78 Where do hurricanes usually develop?
A Over the mainland near the water B In the Caribbean Sea
C In the southwest of America D In the Atlantic Ocean of Bermuda
79 Which of the following is true of tornadoes and hurricanes?
A They are easier to control today than in the past.
B They can be predicted today with greater accuracy.
C They cannot be predicted with accuracy.
D Tornadoes are more dangerous than hurricanes.
80 Which of the following was not mentioned in the article?
A The number of people killed each year by these storms.
B The tremendous power of these storms.
C The damage caused by hurricanes and tornadoes.
D The time of year when they are most likely to strike.

HURRICANES AND TORNADOES
Two of the most dangerous storms which afflict America are hurricanes and tornadoes They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction and cause millions of dollars worth of
damage to life and property every year
Hurricanes which usually develop between July and October are similar to cyclones and originate over thewater in the Caribbean Sea They move upwards hitting the mainland of America somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean Once they hit land they carry tremendous power with driving rain and wind These winds can attain speeds of over 75 mph And cover an area of over 500 miles in diameter At the center of the storm there is an "eye" with relatively fair weather and warm, dry air aloft The diameter of the eye is usually about 32 kilometers When the eye passes the relief is only temporary but soon the wind and rain will suddenly reappear from the opposite direction
Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost Most people who live near the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm passes Floods are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water level The high winds , coastal flooding and torrential rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage
People living in the wake of a storm are given ample warning to protect their homes Flashlights or candles are be prepared in case of electric- power failures and plenty of fresh water should be saved as precautions against the pollution of water supplies by flooding
If one should travel inland across the Great Plains and the prairie states of America, one will most likely not encounter a hurricane, but there is another kind of storm in the Midwest which is equally feared It is called a tornado Tornadoes are violent low- pressured storms with an intense updraft near their center which is capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground A tornado, therefore, is a dark, funnel- shaped cloud containing violently rotating air It can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and railway cars Like a vacuum cleaner across a rug, it sucks up into the air anything which may lie in its path These storms occur most often during the summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain.The sky turns black as dust is sucked up into the air Tornadoes travel normally at around 60 kilometers per hour and the winds can reach 800 kilometers per hour in the most violent storms Tornadoes are most frequent in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and especially in the central plains area of the Mississippi basin where about 150 occur each year Tornadoes may also strike the southern states in winter and have even been known to develop in the northeast
Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause million of dollars worth of damage each year Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or ignored When they come they must be endured with the hope that one survives their fury and wrath
71 What is the major difference between a hurricane and a tornado?

I Read the passage and choose the best answer.
Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10, the Apollo 11 astronauts made their historic landing on the
surface of the Moon This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study; from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon, scientists have been able to determine much about
the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its
composition
The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably
ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil
In addition to the Moon soil, astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:
Basalt and breccia Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the Earth Since basalt is formed
under extremely high temperatures, the presence of this type of rock is an indication that the temperature of the Moon was once extremely hot Breccia, the other kind of rock brought back by the astronauts, was formed during the impact of falling objects on the surface of the Moon This second type of rock consists of small pieces of rock compressed together by the force of impact Gases such as hydrogen and helium were found in some of the rocks, and scientists believe that these gases were carried to the Moon by the solar wind, the streams of gases that are
constantly emitted by the Sun.
01 It can be inferred from the passage that -
A scientists learned relatively little from the Moon rock and soil samples.
B rock and soil samples were only some of a myriad of significant items from the Moon.
C the only items of importance that astronauts brought back from the Moon were rock and soil samples.

C propose a new theory about the creation of the Moon
D demonstrate the difference between basalt and breccia
07 According to the passage, breccia was formed
A when objects struck the Moon B from volcanic lava
C from the interaction of helium and hydrogen D when streams of gases hit the surface of the Moon
