Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer to each of the question.
Tsunami is a Japanese word that means harbor wave and is used as the scientific term for seismic sea wave generated by an undersea earthquake or possibly an undersea landslide or volcanic eruption. When the ocean floor is tilted or offset during an earthquake, a set of waves is created similar to the concentric waves generated by an object dropped into the water. Most tsunamis originate along the Ring of Fire, a zone of volcanoes and seismic activity, 32,500 km long that encircles the Pacific Ocean.
Since 1819, about 40 tsunamis have struck the Hawaiian Islands. A tsunami can have wavelengths, or widths, of 100 to 200 km, and may travel hundreds of kilometers across the deep ocean, reaching speeds of about 725 to 800 kilometres an hour. Upon entering shallow coastal waters, the wave, which have been only about half a metre high out at sea, suddenly grows rapidly. When the wave reaches the shore, it may be 15m high or more. Tsunamis have tremendous energy because of the great volume of water affected. They are capable of obliterating coastal settlements.
Tsunamis should not be confused with storm surges, which are domes of water that rise underearth hurricanes or cyclones and cause extensive coastal flooding when the storms reach land. Storm surges are particularly devastating if they occur at high tide. A cyclone and accompanying storm surges killed an estimated 500,000 people in Bangladesh in 1970. The tsunami which struck south and southeast Asia in late 2004 killed over 200 thousand people.
Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Storm surges are domes of water rising underneath hurricanes or cyclones.
B. A cyclone along with storm surges happened in Asia in 1970.
C. Tsunami only occurs in Asia
D. Storm surges cause extensive coastal flooding.

Điều nào sau đây KHÔNG đúng?
A. Nước dâng do bão là những vòm nước dâng lên bên dưới bão hoặc lốc xoáy.
B. Xoáy thuận cùng triều cường đã xảy ra ở Châu Á năm 1970.
C. Sóng thần chỉ xảy ra ở châu Á
D. Triều cường gây lũ lụt trên diện rộng ven biển.
Thông tin:
+ A cyclone and accompanying storm surges killed an estimated 500,000 people in Bangladesh in 1970.
(Một cơn lốc xoáy và triều cường kèm theo đã giết chết khoảng 500.000 người ở Bangladesh vào năm 1970.)
→ B đúng
+ Tsunamis should not be confused with storm surges, which are domes of water that rise underearth hurricanes or cyclones and cause extensive coastal flooding when the storms reach land.
(Không nên nhầm lẫn sóng thần với nước dâng do bão, là những vòm nước dâng lên từ các cơn bão hoặc lốc xoáy dưới lòng đất và gây ra lũ lụt ven biển trên diện rộng khi bão đổ bộ vào đất liền.)
→ A, D đúng
