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 from 30 to 34.

        A tropical cyclone is a violent low pressure storm that usually occurs over warm oceans of over 80°F or 27°C. It winds counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere as it is described for the term, cyclone itself. This powerful storm is fueled by the heat energy that is released when water vapor condenses at high altitudes, the heat ultimately derived from the Sun.

        The center of a tropical cyclone, called the eye, is relatively calm and warm. This eye, which is roughly 20 to 30 miles wide, is clear, mainly because of subsiding air within it. The ring of clouds around the eye is the eyewall, where clouds reach highest and precipitation is heaviest. The strong wind, gusting up to 360 kilometers per hour, occurs when a tropical cyclone’s eyewall passes over land.

        There are various names for a tropical cyclone depending on its location and strength. In Asia, a tropical cyclone is named according to its strength. The strongest is a typhoon; its winds move at more than 117 kilometers per hour. In India, it is called a cyclone. Over the North Atlantic and in the South Pacific, they call it a hurricane.

        On average, there are about 100 tropical cyclones worldwide each year. A tropical cyclone peaks in late summer when the difference between temperature in the air and sea surface is the greatest. However, it has its own seasonal patterns. May is the least active month, while September is the most active.

        The destruction associated with a tropical cyclone results not only from the force of the wind, but also from the storm surge and the waves it generates. It is born and sustained over large bodies of warm water, and loses its strength over inland regions that are comparatively safe from receiving strong winds. Although the tract of a tropical cyclone is very erratic, the Weather Service can still issue timely warnings to the public if a tropical cyclone is approaching densely populated areas. If people ever experience a cyclone, they would know how strong it could be.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The tropical cyclone is the most powerful force on the earth. 

B. The tropical cyclone can cause flooding and damage to structures. 

C. A tropical cyclone forms over the oceans and has great power. 

D. The tropical cyclone is called by different names around the world.

Dịch bài đọc:

        Bão nhiệt đới là một cơn bão áp suất thấp dữ dội thường xảy ra trên các đại dương ấm hơn 80°F hoặc 27°C. Nó di chuyển ngược chiều kim đồng hồ ở Bắc bán cầu và theo chiều kim đồng hồ ở Nam bán cầu như được mô tả cho thuật ngữ, hình tròn. Cơn bão mạnh mẽ này được thúc đẩy bởi năng lượng nhiệt được giải phóng khi hơi nước ngưng tụ ở độ cao lớn, cuối cùng nhiệt lượng có nguồn gốc từ Mặt trời.

        Trung tâm của một cơn bão nhiệt đới, được gọi là mắt, tương đối yên tĩnh và ấm áp. Mắt bão, rộng khoảng từ 20 đến 30 dặm, rõ ràng, chủ yếu là do sự giảm áp suất không khí bên trong nó. Vòng tròn của các đám mây xung quanh mắt là thành mắt bão, nơi các đám mây đạt đến mức cao nhất và lượng mưa lớn nhất. Cơn gió mạnh, vận tốc tới 360 km mỗi giờ, xảy ra khi một cơn bão nhiệt đới nhiệt đới băng qua đất liền.

        Có nhiều tên gọi khác nhau của một cơn bão nhiệt đới tùy thuộc vào vị trí và sức mạnh của nó. Ở châu Á, một cơn bão nhiệt đới được đặt tên theo sức mạnh của nó. Mạnh nhất là bão; sức gió của nó di chuyển với vận tốc hơn 117 km mỗi giờ. Ở Ấn Độ, nó được gọi là lốc xoáy. Trên Bắc Đại Tây Dương và ở Nam Thái Bình Dương, chúng gọi đó là một cơn bão.

        Trung bình, có khoảng 100 cơn bão nhiệt đới trên toàn thế giới mỗi năm. Một cơn bão nhiệt đới đạt cực đại vào cuối mùa hè khi chênh lệch giữa nhiệt độ trong không khí và mặt nước biển là lớn nhất. Tuy nhiên, nó có đặc điểm theo mùa riêng của nó. Tháng 5 là tháng ít hoạt động nhất, trong khi tháng 9 là tháng hoạt động nhiều nhất.

        Sự tàn phá của một cơn bão nhiệt đới không chỉ bắt nguồn sức mạnh của gió mà còn từ cơn bão và sóng do nó tạo ra. Nó được sinh ra và duy trì trên những vùng nước ấm lớn và tan đi khi vào đất liền, nơi tương đối an toàn khi có gió mạnh. Mặc dù đường đi của một cơn bão nhiệt đới rất thất thường, Dịch vụ thời tiết vẫn có thể đưa ra cảnh báo kịp thời cho công chúng nếu một cơn bão nhiệt đới đang đến gần các khu vực đông dân cư. Nếu mọi người từng trải qua một cơn bão, họ sẽ biết nó có thể mạnh đến mức nào.

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 from 35 to 42.

Though called by sweet–sounding names like Firinga or Katrina, tropical cyclones are huge rotating storms 200 to 2,000 kilometers wide with winds that blow at speeds of more than 100 kilometers per hour (kph). Weather professionals know them as tropical cyclones, but they are called hurricanes in the Caribbean Sea, typhoons in the Pacific Ocean, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean. They occur in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Large ones have destroyed cities and killed hundreds of thousands of people.

Tropical cyclones begin over water that is warmer than 27 degrees Celsius (80 degrees Fahrenheit) slightly north or south of the earth’s equator. Warm, humid air full of water vapor moves upward. The earth’s rotation causes the growing storm to start to rotate around its center (called the eye). At a certain height, the water vapor condenses, changing to liquid and releasing heat. The heat draws more air and water vapor upward, creating a cycle as air and water vapor rise and liquid water falls. If the cycle speeds up until winds reach 118 kilometers per hour, the storm qualifies as a tropical cyclone.

Most deaths in tropical cyclones are caused by storm surge. This is a rise in sea level, sometimes seven meters or more, caused by the storm pushing against the ocean’s surface. Storm surge was to blame for the flooding of New Orleans in 2005. The storm surge of Cyclone Nargis in 2008 in Myanmar pushed seawater nearly four meters deep some 40 kilometers inland, resulting in many deaths.

It has never been easy to forecast a tropical cyclone accurately. The goal is to know when and where the next tropical cyclone will form. “And we can’t really do that yet,” says David Nolan, a weather researcher from the University of Miami. The direction and strength of tropical cyclones are also difficult to predict, even with computer assistance. In fact, long–term forecasts are poor; small differences in the combination of weather factors lead to very different storms. More accurate forecasting could help people decide to evacuate when a storm is on the way.

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

The storm surge of Cyclone Nargis in 2008 in Myanmar pushed seawater nearly four meters deep some40 kilometers inland, resulting in many deaths.

It has never been easy to forecast a tropical cyclone accurately. The goal is to know when and where the next tropical cyclone will form. “And we can’t really do that yet”, says David Nolan, a weather researcher from the University of Miami. The direction and strength of tropical cyclones are also difficult to predict, even with computer assistance. In fact, long-term forecasts are poor; small differences in the combination of weather factors lead to very different storms. More accurate forecasting could help people decide to evacuate when a storm is on the way.

What is true about the storm surge of Cyclone Nargis?

A. It took a very high death toll. 

B. It caused flooding in New Orleans in 2005

C. It occurred in Myanmar in 2005. 

D. It pushed seawater 4 kilometers inland

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 from 35 to 42.

Though called by sweet–sounding names like Firinga or Katrina, tropical cyclones are huge rotating storms 200 to 2,000 kilometers wide with winds that blow at speeds of more than 100 kilometers per hour (kph). Weather professionals know them as tropical cyclones, but they are called hurricanes in the Caribbean Sea, typhoons in the Pacific Ocean, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean. They occur in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Large ones have destroyed cities and killed hundreds of thousands of people.

Tropical cyclones begin over water that is warmer than 27 degrees Celsius (80 degrees Fahrenheit) slightly north or south of the earth’s equator. Warm, humid air full of water vapor moves upward. The earth’s rotation causes the growing storm to start to rotate around its center (called the eye). At a certain height, the water vapor condenses, changing to liquid and releasing heat. The heat draws more air and water vapor upward, creating a cycle as air and water vapor rise and liquid water falls. If the cycle speeds up until winds reach 118 kilometers per hour, the storm qualifies as a tropical cyclone.

The direction and strength of tropical cyclones are also difficult to predict, even with computer assistance. In fact, long–term forecasts are poor; small differences in the combination of weather factors lead to very different storms.
