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.
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 toward 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 powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other
structures to collapse. They may additionally injure and kill thousands of people and might even cause the
land to change its appearance. Since most of the Earth‟s surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen
beneath the planet‟s oceans. Underwater earthquakes can 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 thousands of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast
gets sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunami 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.

6. Which of the following statements does paragraph 1 support?
A. A tsunami happens in tandem with an earthquake.
B. The most severe type of nature disaster is an earthquake.
C. Earthquakes cause more destruction than tsunamis.
D. Earthquakes frequently take place after tsunamis.

A. The core

D. The mantle

8. What is the passage mainly about?
A. When earthquakes are the most likely to happen
B. What kind of damage natural disasters can cause
C. How earthquakes and tsunami occur
D. Why tsunamis are deadlier than earthquakes
9. The word “adjoining” in bold in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. Residing

B. Approaching

C. Bordering

D. Appearing

10. The word “perceive” in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.

In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then, there
have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to imagine
how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and none of
them had any training in music. They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and
they had some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they
became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great
success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to
write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they
split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for
them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs!
However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first came out. Throughout
the world many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.
