These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to with tides Scientists often referred to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they result 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 kilometres per hour In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, 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 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 Hawaiian 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 In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines 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 metres high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually travelled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel Question 1: It can be inferred from the passage that tsunamis A are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean B cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean C are often identified by ships on the ocean D generally reach heights greater than 40 metres Question 2: A main difference between tsunamis in Japan and in Hawaii is that tsunamis in Japan are more likely to A be less of a problem B come from greater distances C originate in Alaska D arrive without warning Question 3: According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves EXCEPT that A they are the same as tsunamis B this terminology is not used by the scientific community C they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves D they are caused by sudden changes in high and low tides Question 4: The passage suggests that the tsunami resulting from the Krakatoa volcano A resulted in little damage B caused volcanic explosions in the English Channel C was unobserved outside of the Indonesian islands D was far more destructive close to the source than far away Question 5: A "calamitous" tsunami, in paragraph 4, is one that is A extremely calm B disastrous C at fault D expected Question 6: The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses?

The schools teach a (36) many things of value to the future accountant, doctor or electrician Do they also teach anything of value to the future employee? The answer is: Yes, they teach the one thing that it is perhaps most valuable for the future employee to know But very few students bother (37) it This one basic skill is the ability to organize and express ideas in writing and in speaking This means that your success as an employee will depend on your ability to communicate with people and to (38) your own thoughts and ideas to them so they will (39) understand what you are driving at and be persuaded Of course, skill in expression is not enough (40) itself You must have something to say in the first place The effectiveness of your job depends as much on your ability to make other people understand your work as it does on the quality of the work itself Question 36:A large B lots C far D great Question 37:A to learning B to learn C with learning D learn Question 38:A give out B interpret C present D transfer Question 39:A both B not C either D as well Question 40:A for B in C on D by Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word(s) CLOSEST in meaning to the underlined word (s) in each of the following questions Question 41: I could see the finish line and thought I was home and dry A hopeless B hopeful C unsuccessful D successful Question 42: Tourists today flock to see the two falls that actually constitute Niagara falls A come without knowing what they will see B come out of boredom C come in large numbers D come by plane 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 then name from the Japanese expression for "high water in a harbour." These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to with tides Scientists often referred to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they result 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 kilometres per hour In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, 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 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 Hawaiian 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 In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines 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 metres high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually travelled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel Question 43: The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses?

These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to with tides Scientists often referred to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they result 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 kilometres per hour In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, 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 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 Hawaiian 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 In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines 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 metres high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually travelled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel Question 43: The possessive "their" in paragraph refers to A the Hawaiian Islands B thousands of miles C these tsunamis D the inhabitants of Hawaii Question 44: The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses?
