[Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves ca - Tự Học 365] 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.Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their name from the Japanese expression for “high water in a harbor”. These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides. Scientists often refer to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in the result they do from undersea seismic activity.Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves. during an underwater earthquake or volcano, for example, 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 kilometers per hour. In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more than one or two meters. It is when they hit the shallow water near the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 meters.Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity. Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis are Japan and Hawaii. Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often come with little warning and can, therefore, prove disastrous. Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaii Islands, however, originate thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for warning of their imminent arrival.Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii. ln 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement near the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon. The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel.

[Coincident with concerns about the accelerating loss of spec - Tự Học 365] Read the following passage and mark A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions
Coincident with concerns about the accelerating loss of species and habitats has been a growing appreciation of the importance of biological diversity, the number of species in a particular ecosystem, to the health of the Earth and human well-being. Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life associated tropical rain-forest habitats. Relatively little has been said, however, about diversity of life in the sea even though coral reef systems are comparable to rain forests in terms of richness of life. An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet's dominants - most distinctive feature - the ocean. Humans have a bias toward land that sometimes get in the way of truly examining global issues. Seen from far away, it is easy to realize landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s surface. Given that two thirds of the Earth's surface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species. The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world's rain forests doesn't seem surprising, considering the huge numbers of insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist found many different species of ants in just one tree from a rain forest. While every species is different from every other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to share similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects. If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis than differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is unquestionably by sea. Nearly every major type of plant and animal has some presentation there. To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small. Every spoonful of ocean water life, on the order of 100 to 100,000 bacteria cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals, including larvae of organisms ranging from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more.

Câu 1: What is the main point of the passage?

A. The sea is even richer in life than the rain forest

B. Humans are destroying thousands of species.

C. Coral reefs are similar to rain forests.

D. There are thousands of insect species.

Câu 2: The word “appreciation” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

A. forgiveness

B. ignorance

C. tolerance

D. recognition

Câu 3: Why does the author compare rain forests and coral reefs in paragraph 1?
Most of their inhabitants require water.

A. They are approximately the same size.

B. They share many similar species.

C. Most of their inhabitants require water.

D. Both have many different forms of life.

Câu 4: The passage suggests that most rain forest species are

A. bacteria

B. birds

C. insects

D. mammals

Câu 5: The word “there” in paragraph 3 refer to

A. the rain forests

B. the sea

C. the Earth's surface

D. a tree

Câu 6: The author argues that there is more diversity of life in the sea than in the rain forests because

A. more phyla and classes of life are represented in the sea

B. many insect species are too small to divide into categories

C. there are too many insects to make meaningful distinctions

D. marine life-forms reproduce at a faster rate

Câu 7: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an example of microscopic sea life?

A. Coral

B. Shrimp

C. Sponges

D. Starfish

Câu 8: Which of the following conclusions is supported by the passage?

A. Ocean life is highly adaptive.

B. Ocean life is primarily composed of plants.

C. More attention needs to be paid to preserving ocean species and habitats.

D. The sea is highly resistant to the damage done by pollutants.

[to indicate the correct answer to each of the questionsWe f - Tự Học 365] 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.We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate. and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced work; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.
