Part 2. Read the text and choose the best answer A, B, C or D to each question
below. (1.0pt)
Tsunamis, whose name derives from the Japanese expression for ‘high wave
in a harbour’, are giant sea waves. These waves are quite different from storm
surges. They are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves although
they have nothing to do with tides. Scientists often refer to them as seismic sea
waves, which is far more appropriate because they are often the result of
undersea seismic activity.
Tsunamis can be caused when the sea floor suddenly moves, during an
underwater earthquake or volcano, and the water above the moving earth is
suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves. These
waves can travel great distances, at speeds close to 700 kilometres per hour. In
the open ocean, tsunami waves are not very high, often no more than one or two
metres. It is when they hit the shallow waters near the coast that they increase in
height, possibly up to 40 metres.
27. The passage mainly discusses _________________________.
A. water pollution B. ocean C. tsunamis
D. storm surges
28. All of the following is true about tidal waves except ___________________.
A. they are as another name for tsunamis
B. they are caused by sudden changes in high and low tides
C. this term is not used by the scientists
D. the name refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves
29. The word ‘them’ in the passage refers to ______________________.
A. tidal waves B. giant sea C. storm D. sea waves
30. It can be understood from the passage that
tsunamis_______________________.
A. cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean
B. generally reach heights greater than 40 metres
C. are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean
