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 following questions from 31 to 36.
WHAT IS A TSUNAMI?
A tsunami is a string of large ocean waves. Some people call it a "wave train" or a "tidal
wave." Tsunamis, unlike normal ocean waves, are not caused by tides. The word tsunami comes
from the Japanese. Tsunamis are caused by a sudden, large motion on the ocean floor. They can
be caused by an earthquake under the ocean. Sometimes an underwater landslide or volcano is
the cause. When one of these things happens, the energy passes through the ocean water. Just
like the ripples from a rock being thrown into a pond, the energy released by one of these
motions spreads out in all directions. The energy can travel many miles away. Tsunamis move
at high speeds. Most tsunamis happen in the Pacific Ocean. In the deep waters, a tsunami may
travel 450 miles per hour. Out in the ocean, a tsunami may be hard to see. As it comes close to
shore, its speed slows down. The height of the wave builds. The tsunami may suddenly rise into
a wave ten to one hundred feet high. These large waves are a disaster for coastal regions and
people living there. Tsunami warning networks alert people living along coastlines in the Pacific
Ocean. When a warning is sounded, people can move away from the coast to higher ground. The
wavelength can be as long as 150 miles. This means the time (wave period) between the giant
waves is long, too. Giant waves on shore can last for hours or even days after the earthquake or
other disturbance.
Question 31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How tsunamis are formed and their impact. B. How tides affect the ocean.
C. The history of the word “tsunami”. D. How earthquakes destroy coastal cities.
Question 32. What usually causes a tsunami to form?
A. High tides on the ocean surface. B. Large movements on the ocean floor.
C. Strong winds blowing across the sea. D. Ripples causes by boats.
Question 33. Which word has the same meaning as “disaster” in the text?
A. waring B. tragedy C. motion D. ground
Question 34. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text?
A. Most tsunamis happen in the Pacific Ocean.
B. Tsunamis are caused by tides.
C. Tsunamis can travel at high speeds in deep water
D. People are warned about tsunamis through special networks.
Question 35. The word “spread out” in line 6 OPPOSITE to .
A. strengthens B. increases C. limits D. extends
Question 36. Why are tsunamis hard to see in the middle of the ocean?
A. They travel too slowly B. Their speed makes them invisible
C. The ocean water blocks the waves. D. Their height is low in deep water.
