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.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 3 about earthquakes?
A. How many people they typically kill

A. Hầu hết chúng tàn khốc như thế nào.

=> Chọn C
Dịch bài đọc:
Có rất nhiều thiên tai có thể xảy ra trên toàn cầu. Hai loại thường xuyên liên kết với nhau là động đất và sóng thần. Cả hai chúng có thể gây ra một sức tàn phá lớn khi chúng xảy ra. Tuy nhiên, sóng thần là kết quả trực tiếp của động đất và không thể xảy ra mà không có nó.
Trái đất có ba phần chính. Chúng là lớp vỏ, lớp phủ và lõi. Lớp vỏ là lớp bên ngoài của trái đất. Nó không phải là một mảng duy nhất. Thay vào đó, nó bao gồm một số mảng. Có một vài mảng lớn và nhiều mảng nhỏ hơn. Những mảng này chủ yếu nằm trên lớp phủ, đó là chất lỏng. Kết quả là, các mảng được trong chuyển động liên tục nhưng chậm. Các mảng có thể di chuyển ra khỏi hoặc lên trên các mảng khác. Trong một số trường hợp, chúng va chạm dữ dội với các mảng nối liền chúng. Sự di chuyển của các mảng gây ra sự áp lực trong đá. Trong một thời gian dài, áp lực này có thể tăng lên. Khi nó được giải phóng, một trận động đất sẽ xảy ra.
Hàng chục nghìn trận động đất xảy ra mỗi năm. Phần lớn là quá nhỏ mà chỉ có các công cụ khoa học mới có thể cảm nhận được chúng. Những trận khác thì đủ mạnh để mọi người có thể cảm nhận được chúng, tuy nhiên chúng ít gây thiệt hại hoặc thiệt hại. Các trận động đất mạnh hơn, tuy nhiên, có thể làm cho các tòa nhà, cầu cống, và các cấu trúc khác sụp đổ. Chúng có thể làm tổn thương và giết chết thêm hàng ngàn người và thậm chí có thể khiến đất đai thay đổi hình dáng của nó.
Vì hầu hết bề mặt trái đất là nước, rất nhiều trận động đất xảy ra dưới đại dương của hành tinh. Động đất dưới nước làm cho đáy biển di chuyển. Điều này dẫn đến sự dịch chuyển của nước trong đại dương. Khi điều này xảy ra, một cơn sóng thần có thể hình thành. Đây là một làn sóng hình thành trên bề mặt và di chuyển theo mọi hướng từ nơi diễn ra trận động đất. Sóng thần di chuyển rất nhanh và có thể di chuyển hàng ngàn cây số. Khi tiếp cận đất, nước gần bờ biển bị hút ra biển. Điều này làm cho sóng thần tăng chiều cao. Vài phút sau, cơn sóng thần đến. Một cơn sóng thần lớn - cao hơn 10 mét - có thể đi sâu vào nội địa. Khi đó, nó có thể làm ngập đất, phá hủy các khu định cư của con người, và giết chết một lượng người lớn.

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 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.
