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
TSUNAMIS
Tsunamis are waves, but they are far different from the normal waves that occur every day in the ocean. A normal wave is created by the pull of the moon’s gravity, but tsunamis are a series of great sea waves that are created by a shock from underwater. The most common causes of tsunamis are underwater earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions.
On Sunday, December 26, 2004, a 9.0-magnitude earthquake occurred under the Indian Ocean near the west coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra . It displaced a large amount of water, and sent shock waves in every direction, resulting in a series of a 30-foot waves travelling up to 500 miles per hour. These high speeds cause the waves to be very destructive. They traveled unnoticed at first because they were not visible on the surface, a common pattern in the occurrence of tsunamis.
Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A.Tsunamis occur every day in the ocean
B.The most common cause of a tsunami is an underwater earthquake
C.Tsunamis may not be visible on the surface if the ocean is deep
D.Tsunamis are unusual because they are not created by the pull of the moon’s gravity.

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
If there is a building which symbolizes a country, such as the Eiffel Tower for France and Sydney Opera House for Australia, then it has to be the Taj Mahal for India .
It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. From the time they got married, they wouldn’t be separated . She followed him to wars, advised him on affairs of state, and was loved by his people for her good work. But she died in 1631 during her childbirth. The emperor was heartbroken and had the Taj Mahal built as a sign of his love.
It took more than 20 years for the Taj Mahal to be built. Workers were brought in, not only from all over India, but from central Asia too. A total of 20,000 people worked on the building.
In 1657, Shah Jahan fell ill and in 1658 his son, Aurangzeb, imprisoned his father and seized power. Shah Jahan stayed in prison until his death in 1666. He was finally buried there with his wife, who he could never forget.
The Taj Mahal is definitely worth more than a single visit. As it is built with white marble stones, its character changes in different lights. It looks more beautiful at sunrise and sunset. At sunset, for example, the color of the Taj Mahal changes from white to yellow, then to pink. As the moon rises, it turns a silvery white.
To show respect to the Taj Mahal, tourists are asked to take off their shoes during their visit.
What should tourists do to show respect to the Taj Mahal?
A.put on their shoes during their visit.
B.take off their shoes during their visit.
C.each person visits it at a time
D.take off their hats during their visit.
