PASSAGE 45  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 1 to 10. Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the tides. No other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves created by the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface. The currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive sweep. The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun. In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of the universe. In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day. And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies. The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full. These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides. At these times, the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon, and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month. Question 1: The word felt in line 4 is closest in meaning to A. explored B. dropped C. detected D. based Question 2: The words in reality in line 9 are closest in meaning to A. characteristically B. similarly C. surprisingly D. actually Question 3: The word correspondingly in line 13 is closest in meaning to A. unusually B. interestingly C. similarly D. unpredictably Question 4: The word configuration in line 22 is closest in meaning to A. surface B. arrangement C. unit D. center Question 5: Neap tides occur when A. the Sun counteracts the Moon's gravitational attraction B. waves created by the wind combine with the Moon's gravitational attraction C. the Moon is full D. the Moon is farthest from the Sun Question 6: What is the cause of the spring tides? A. Seasonal changes in the weather B. The triangular arrangment of the Earth, Sun, and Moon C. The Earth's movement around the Sun D. The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon when nearly in line with the Earth Question 7: Where in the passage does the author mention movements of ocean water other than those caused by tides? A. Lines 11 - 13 B. Lines2 - 6 C. Lines 19 - 23 D. Lines 13 - 16 Question 8: What is the main point of the first paragraph? A. The tides are the most powerful force to affect the movement of ocean water B. Despite the strength of the wind, it only moves surface water C. The waves created by ocean currents are very large D. Deep ocean water is seldom affected by forces that move water Question 9: According to the passage, all of the following statements about tides are true EXCEPT: A. Neap tides are more moderate than spring tides B. The time of high tide is later each day C. The strongest tides occur at the quarters of the Moon D. Tides have a greater effect on the sea than waves do Question 10: It can be inferred from the passage that the most important factor in determining how much gravitational effect one object in space has on the tides is A. temperature B. distance C. size D. density PASSAGE 45 Question 1: C. detected Question 2: D. actually Question 3: C. similarly Question 4: B. arrangement Question 5: A. the Sun counteracts the Moon’s gravitational attraction Question 6: D. the gravitational pull of the sun and the Moon when nearly in line with the Earth Question 7: B. Lines 2 – 6 Question 8: A. The tides are the most powerful force to affect the movement of the ocean water. Question 9: C. The strongest tides occur at the quarters of the Moon Question 10: B. distance http://dethithpt.com – Website chuyên đề thi – tài liệu file word mới nhất 3
