Japan, situated (23)on the Ring of Fire on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, has suffered some major earthquakes over the years. However, nothing before compared to the triple disaster of March 11, 2011: a massive earthquake followed by powerful tsunamis which (24)led to a serious nuclear accident.

The horrors began shortly before three in (25)the afternoon local time with a 9.0-magnitude earthquake. Its epicenter was nearly 20 miles below(26) the floor of the Pacific Ocean about 80 miles east of the Japanese city of Sendai. The quake was one of the most powerful ever recorded, and the strongest (27) to hit this region of Japan.

On March 11, 2011, Japan suffered one of the greatest disasters in its history. The earthquakes and tsunami directly affected the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant and a large amount of radioactive material was released into the atmosphere. The effects of this nuclear disaster continue that there has been none of human’s appearances since then, but wild animals survive in abandoned areas and the green cover is increasing. 

Immediately after the radioactive leak, the Japanese authorities evacuated all the residents away from the area immediately. However, the fact that the region was evacuated for humans does not mean the same for animals. Scientists working at the University of Georgia in the United States, have installed camera systems in almost every region of the nuclear disaster and wanted to determine what happened in the region. They gathering various images in a total of 120 days. Images of more than 46 thousand wild boars were captured. More than 26,000 of them were shot in a completely uninhabited area, while about 13,000 images were obtained from areas close to living spaces.

Scientists now want to carry out studies to understand the genetic condition of the animals in the area. However, the return of animals and plants in Fukushima has proved that without human’s interference, nature has its own way to keep a place for every animal and plants.

1. What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Nature takes over abandoned Fukushima areas.      

B. Fukushima nuclear disaster.

C. Scientists have been struggling with Japan's nuclear waste.

D. Natural disasters in Japan.

2.  What does the word "them" which is in bold in paragraph 2 refers to?

A. Scientists.             B. Images.                C. Days.                 D. Wild boars.

3.  Why did scientists install camera systems in the region of the nuclear disaster?

A. Because they want to understand the genetic condition of the animals in the region.      

B. Because they wanted to count the number of wild boars.                                        

C. Because they wanted to evacuate all the residents away from the region.

Vào ngày 11 tháng 3 năm 2011, Nhật Bản đã phải hứng chịu một trong những thảm họa lớn nhất trong lịch sử của mình. Động đất và sóng thần đã ảnh hưởng trực tiếp đến Nhà máy điện hạt nhân Fukushima và một lượng lớn chất phóng xạ đã được phát tán vào khí quyển. Ảnh hưởng của thảm họa hạt nhân này vẫn tiếp tục xảy ra, kể từ đó không có sự xuất hiện của con người, nhưng động vật hoang dã vẫn tồn tại trong những khu vực bị bỏ hoang và độ phủ xanh ngày càng tăng.

Ngay sau sự cố rò rỉ phóng xạ, nhà chức trách Nhật Bản đã sơ tán toàn bộ cư dân ra khỏi khu vực ngay lập tức. Tuy nhiên, thực tế là khu vực được sơ tán đối với con người không có nghĩa là đối với động vật. Các nhà khoa học làm việc tại Đại học Georgia, Hoa Kỳ, đã lắp đặt hệ thống camera ở hầu hết các khu vực xảy ra thảm họa hạt nhân và muốn xác định điều gì đã xảy ra trong khu vực. Họ thu thập nhiều hình ảnh khác nhau trong tổng số 120 ngày. Hình ảnh hơn 46 nghìn con lợn rừng bị bắt. Hơn 26.000 bức ảnh trong số đó được quay ở một khu vực hoàn toàn không có người ở, trong khi khoảng 13.000 bức ảnh được thu thập từ những khu vực gần với không gian sống.

Các nhà khoa học hiện muốn thực hiện các nghiên cứu để tìm hiểu tình trạng di truyền của các loài động vật trong khu vực. Tuy nhiên, sự trở lại của động vật và thực vật ở Fukushima đã chứng minh rằng không có sự can thiệp của con người, thiên nhiên có cách riêng để giữ chỗ cho mọi loài động vật và thực vật.

1. Cái gì có thể là tiêu đề tốt nhất cho đoạn văn?

A. Thiên nhiên tiếp quản các khu vực bị bỏ hoang ở Fukushima.

B. Thảm họa hạt nhân Fukushima.

C. Các nhà khoa học đã phải vật lộn với chất thải hạt nhân của Nhật Bản.

D. Thiên tai ở Nhật Bản.

2. Từ "họ" in đậm trong đoạn 2 dùng để chỉ điều gì?

A. Các nhà khoa học. B. Hình ảnh. C. Ngày. D. Lợn rừng.

3. Tại sao các nhà khoa học lại lắp đặt hệ thống camera trong vùng xảy ra thảm họa hạt nhân?

A. Vì họ muốn hiểu tình trạng di truyền của các loài động vật trong vùng.

B. Vì họ muốn đếm số lượng lợn rừng.

C. Vì họ muốn di tản toàn bộ cư dân ra khỏi vùng.

D. Vì họ muốn xem những gì đã xảy ra trong khu vực.

4. Có bao nhiêu hình ảnh về lợn rừng ở khu vực không có người ở?

The earthquake triggered a massive tsunami that flooded more than 200 square miles of Coastal land. Waves estimated to be as high as 38 meters, the height of a 12-story building, tore apart Coastal towns and villages, carrying ships inland as thousands of homes were flattened, then washed tons of debris and vehicles back out to sea. Damage to the reactors at TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant then caused a third disaster, contaminating a wide area that still forces nearly 100,000 residents to live as evacuees. Tsunami waves also swept across the Pacific, causing damage or disruptions in Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. Casualties from the earthquake and tsunami in Japan may be 30,000 and close to 500,000 people were forced to evacuate. More than 125,000 buildings have been washed away or seriously damaged; property damage is estimated the Great East Japan Earthquake to be more than $310 billion.

The hard, rigid plates that form the outermost portion of the Earth are about 100 kilometers thick. These plates include both the Earth's crust and the upper mantle. The rocks of the crust are composed mostly of minerals with light elements, like aluminum and sodium, while the mantle contains some heavier elements, like iron and magnesium. Together, the crust and upper mantle that form the surface plates are called the lithosphere. This rigid layer floats on the denser material of the lower mantle the way a wooden raft floats on a pond. The plates are supported by a weak, plastic layer of the lower mantle called the asthenosphere. Also like a raft on a pond, the lithospheric plates are carried along by slow currents in this more fluid layer beneath them.

With an understanding of plate tectonics, geologists have put together a new history for the Earth's surface. About 200 million years ago, the plates at the Earth's surface formed a “supercontinent” called Pangaea. When this supercontinent started to tear apart because of plate movement, Pangaea first broke into two large continental masses with a newly formed sea that grew between the land areas as the depression filled with water. The southern one — which included the modern continents of South America, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica — is called Gondwanaland. The northern one — with North America, Europe, and Asia — is called Laurasia. North America tore away from Europe about 180 million years ago, forming the northern Atlantic Ocean. Some of the lithospheric plates carry ocean floor and others carry land masses or a combination of the two types. The movement of the lithospheric plates is responsible for earthquakes, volcanoes, and the Earth's largest mountain ranges. Current understanding of the interaction between different plates explains why these occur where they do. For example, the edge of the Pacific Ocean has been called the “Ring of Fire” because so many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes happen there. Before the 1960's, geologists could not explain why active volcanoes and strong earthquakes were concentrated in that region. The theory of plate tectonics gave them an answer.

According to the passage, the northern Atlantic Ocean was formed when

A. Pangaea was created

B. plate movement ceased

C. Gondwanaland collided with Pangaea

D. parts of Laurasia separated from each other

Như vậy, có thể suy ra rằng chỉ từ những năm 1960 trở đi mới có lý thuyết kiến tạo mảng. Phương án B. It was first proposed in the 1960's = Nó lần đầu được đưa ra trong những năm 1960, là phương án chính xác nhất.

          A. It is no longer of great interest to geologists = Nó không còn tạo hứng thú lớn cho các nhà địa chất.

Không có thông tin như vậy trong bài.

          C. It fails to explain why earthquakes occur = Nó thất bại trong việc giải thích tại sao động đất xảy ra.

The movement of the lithospheric plates is responsible for earthquakes, volcanoes, and the Earth's largest mountain ranges. = Sự di chuyển của các mảng thạch quyển chịu trách nhiệm cho những trận động đất, núi lửa, và các dãy núi lớn nhất của Trái Đất.

Như vậy lý thuyết đó đã thành công khi giải thích hoạt động của núi lửa chứ không phải thất bại.

          D. It refutes the theory of the existence of a supercontinent = Nó bác bỏ các lý thuyết về sự tồn tại của một siêu lục địa.
