IX. Read the passage carefully, then do the tasks.

Elephants on the coast of Thailand are acting strange. They stamp their feet and motion
toward the hills. The sea draws back from the beaches. Fish flop in the mud. Suddenly, a huge
wave appears. This is no ordinary wave. It is a tsunami!
Tsunami waves are larger and faster than normal surface waves. A tsunami wave can
travel as fast as a jet plane and can be as tall as a ten-story building. For a tsunami to occur, there
must be some kind of force that causes the ocean water to become displaced. Most tsunamis are
caused by underwater earthquakes. However, volcanoes, landslides, large icebergs, and even
meteorites are capable of causing one of these mighty waves. Tsunamis are extremely powerful.
Because tsunami waves are so strong, they can kill people, damage property, and completely ruin
an ecosystem in just one hour.
Scientists have no way of predicting when a tsunami will hit. However, if a powerful
enough earthquake occurs, scientists can issue a warning or a watch. A warning means that a
tsunami will very likely hit soon. A watch means that conditions are favourable for a tsunami.
When people are notified about a watch or a warning, they have more time to prepare. It is best
not to get caught unaware when a tsunami is on the way!
A. Match the underlined words in the text with their definitions.
1. saying that something will happen before it happens
2. move in a loose, heavy, and uncontrolled way
3. not knowing or realizing that something is happening
4. very strong and powerful
5. good for something and making it likely to be successful
6. moved out of the usual or proper place
7. all the plants and living creatures in a particular area

C. They can sense something out of the ordinary.
D. They see the ocean drawing back from the beaches.
2. What is this passage mostly about?
A. How to prepare for tsunamis.
B. Scientists who predict tsunami waves.
C. Similarities and differences between wave types.
D. Causes and effects of tsunamis.

A. earthquakesB. mudslides C. volcanic eruptions D. meteorites

A. can be predicted by scientists
B. break on the coast, unlike normal waves
