Read the following passage about tornadoes and choose the best answer.

TORNADOES

Did you ever see the movie The Wizard of Oz? A tornado sweeps up Dorothy and Toto, sending them to a new world where there are witches and talking lions! That entire story is fiction, but tornadoes are real and they are serious business. In fact, they can be the most dangerous storms of all.

Tornadoes are sometimes referred to as twisters or cyclones. They are shaped like a cylinder. They are born in thunderclouds. The winds inside a tornado swirl around and around and can be more than 300 miles per hour (mph). The winds are so strong that tornadoes can lift animals, cars, and even houses.

The United States has more tornadoes than any other country in the world. States such as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska are hit hard by tornadoes. This part of the country is known as “Tornado Alley.” Tornado season is during the springtime and summer. If the conditions are right, a tornado can happen any time of year.

Bài 9 :

Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about passage.

Two of the most dangerous storms which affect America are hurricanes and tornadoes. They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction.

Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost. Most people who live near the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm passes. Floods are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water level. The high winds, coastal flooding and heavy rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage.

Hurricanes usually develop between July and October. Once they hit land they carry tremendous power with driving rain and wind.

Tornadoes are violent low - pressured storms. These storms occur most often during the summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turns black as dust is sucked up into the air. Tornadoes are capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground. They can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and railway cars.

Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and property every year. Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or ignored.

WHAT A DISASTER!

It was a beautiful morning in June and the sun was shining. My parents and I were having a wonderful holiday in Hawaii. We swam in the sea and walked on the beach every day. On our last day, we decided to go hiking up a volcano. We were climbing near the top of the volcano when we heard a loud noise coming from deep under the ground. Then, the volcano shook, smoke came out of the top, and lava came down the side. We were terrified! We ran as fast as we could back down the volcano. We felt worried because so much lava erupted from the top. Luckily, we got to the road and a bus picked us up just in time. We drove off quickly. Later, we watched the news to find out what happened. The eruption didn't injure anyone, bit destroyed some buildings and cars. We felt relieved because everyone was safe.

5. explains why natural disasters happen more in one place than other places?

THE DESTRUCTIVE FORCE OF NATURE

A. Natural disaster can happen anywhere, but different disasters happen in different places. Floods happen more in countries with lots of river like Việt Nam, India and Bangladesh. Earthquakes happen the most in areas with two parts of the Earth's surface meeting like China, the US and Indonesia. Storms happen more in warm places with a lot of coastlines like India, the Philippines and Viet Nam. A natural disaster can create other disasters, too. Storms often cause floods and landslides, and earthquakes can cause volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.

B. You probably noticed more natural disasters happening in the last few years. According to scientists, the cause is climate change and the effects are worse. Natural disasters hurt or even kill people, and they destroy buildings, trees and people’s homes. They also cause negative feelings for people. Many people feel worried or terrified for a long time after natural disaster. That's why it’s important to fight climate change so that the future will be better for everyone.

Kate’ Blog

Hello, readers! Today's blog is about my family's holiday on an island in the Pacific Ocean. I went hiking with my parents in the mountains every day. On our last day, when we were climbing through the forest, the earth stared to shake. The sound of rocks falling was very loud. We thought it was an earthquake or a landslide. We were terrified! Then, we heard a loud noise, but we didn’t know where it came from. When we looked down at the valley, a tsunami was hitting the village below. We quickly climbed up the mountain path when the water was moving through the valley. Final, we were safe enough and we stopped to look down at the valley. There was water everywhere! We went back down to help in any way we could. It was terrible! Some people died and many got injured. We went home the following day. We were relieved because our family was, safe from a terrible natural disaster.

1. On her holiday, Kate went hiking every day.

2. When the disaster started, Kate and her parents knew it was a tsunami.

You might find storms fascinating or frightening. But can they be positive? If you live in Venezuela, your answer may be: yes! In 1995, a storm in Venezuela saved the country. How did that happen? Foreign sailors wanted to attack, but they saw strange lightning. It looked pinkish-orange, so they didn’t know what it was. They felt scared. In the bright light of the storm, soldiers on land spotted the ships.
