(ID: 210777 ) 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 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 powerful 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 thousands 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.
Câu 6. Which of the following statements does paragraph 1 support?
A. Earthquakes cause more destruction than tsunamis.
B. A tsunami happens in tandem with an earthquake.

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
5


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.

Water is necessary for life. People can live only a few days (44)

it. Yet nearly 25 million people die each

year because of it. Both industrial nations and less-developed countries are worried about the (45)


and

quantity of water in the world.
Even though people, animals, agriculture, and industry use a lot of water, there is more than enough on
the Earth. Water covers about three-fourths of the Earth's surface. However, 97.4 percent of it is salt water.
Three-fourths of the Earth's fresh water is frozen in glaciers and in the great polar ice caps. Most of the water
we use (46)

from rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere. Less than one percent of the Earth's water is usable,

and we use it over and over again.
One of the (47)
