The answer may well be global warming When fuels like oil and coal are being burned, pollutants are released; these pollutants trap heat in the earth's atmosphere Warmer temperatures cause water to expand and also create more water by melting glaciers and polar ice caps If the trend continues, scientists say, many countries will suffer Bangladesh, for example, might lose one-fifth of its land The coral island nations of the Pacific, like Kiribati and the Marshall Islands, however, would face an even worse fate - they would be swallowed by the sea The loss of these coral islands would be everyone's loss Coral formations are home to more species than any other place on earth The cause of the high tide that has swept across Kiribati several times may be _ the sea the warmer temperature of the earth the sun the loss of the coral islands According to the passage, this year, the high tide came when _ there was rain but no wind there was wind but no rain there were wind and rain there wasn't wind or rain In the context of the passage, the word "not-too-distant" can be best replaced by _ soon fairly soon far very far The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to _ scientists many countries the coral island nations of the Pacific Kiribati and the Marshall Islands Which of the following is true?

The leaders signed it on July 4, 1776 People in the 13 colonies were very happy about the Declaration of Independence They made a lot of noise with bells, drums, and guns People today like to make noise on Independence Day too The Fourth of July is a national holiday Government offices, banks, and schools close Most people don't go to work Families and friends get together outside for picnics and cookouts Many Americans fly the flag outside their homes or businesses on July People also go to Fourth of July parades and listen to patriotic music In the evening when it gets dark, people watch beautiful fireworks In most states, people cannot buy fireworks because they are dangerous People can get hurt So city governments usually have safe fireworks for everyone to enjoy Independence Day isn't only a day for cookouts, noise, and fireworks It is also a day to think about freedom The Declaration of Independence says everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness The Declaration of Independence is more than 200 years old, but its ideas are important The first Independence Day is the day _ the Revolution War broke out the leaders from the 13 colonies met in Philadelphia Thomas Jefferson wrote the document the leaders from the 13 colonies signed the Declaration of Independence The War of Revolution broke out because _ the colonies hated King George the colonists wanted freedom to make law the colonists disagreed with the new law on taxes the colonists didn't want to pay any taxes The phrase 'tired of in the second paragraph means _ exhausted because of something not wanting to something anymore go bankrupt because of something couldn't afford to something From reading the passage, it seems that Americans don't like to make noise on Independence Day the Declaration of Independence is old-fashioned Americans have to fly the Stars and Stripes outside their homes on Independence Day Americans are proud of their Star-Spangled Banner Which of the following is true?

Vancouver! This is it!" The excited cry of young scientist, David Johnston, to his colleagues in Vancouver, Washington announced the long-awaited eruption of Mount St Helens These were David Johnston's last words An instant later, his observation post six miles from the peak was engulfed by a wave of fiery hot gases and debris The eruption of Mount St Helens in the southwestern corner of Washington on May 18, 1980, was equal in force to the largest hydrogen bomb ever tested People in the Northwest had been anticipating an eruption for some time, but the blast was much bigger than expected At 8:32 on a peaceful Sunday morning, the mountain "blew its top." Clouds of gas, ash, and rock shot into the air As much as three inches of ash covered towns in Washington, Idaho, and Montana hundreds of miles away The thick clouds of abrasive ash paralyzed regional car and air traffic and forced residents to stay inside or put on face masks The blast leveled forests 17 miles away, and boiling mud flowed down the mountain's sides into neighboring rivers As a result, the water temperature rose sharply from 50° to 90°F, causing fish to jump out of the hot water onto the banks The eruption took the lives of 64 people in the vicinity of the mountain Casualties included scientists, such as David Johnston, miners, loggers, determined residents, and curious tourists who had managed to evade protective roadblocks The 200-square-mile area north of the mountain covered by a gray blanked of ash looked like a scene from a different planet * anticipate (v) biết trước, đoán trước, lường trước * casualty (n) thương vong The eruption of Mount St Helens _ was a complete surprise had been expected did not cause extensive damage was caused by the beings from a different planet Which of the following were results of the eruption? People lost their lives A layer of ash covered a 200-square-mile area north of the mountain Forests 17 miles away were destroyed All of the above In the context of the passage, "blew its top" means _ got angry erupted created a windstorm was destroyed The paragraph implies that scientist David Johnston _ gave a complete report of the eruption to his colleagues was killed by the eruption suffered extensive burns on his body, but recovered from his injuries busied himself reporting the eruption of Mount St Helens From reading the passage, it seems that after the eruption of Mount St Helens _ no residents could go outside the water in the neighboring rivers reached boiling point fish had to learn how to live on the river banks because the water temperature was too high the 200-square-mile area north of the mountain was completely changed UNIT 10 I alien abroad balloon disappear despite evident erupt device imaginary hobby multiply crazy tidal device mineral sight conclusive despite spot news II aboard aircraft balloon despite capture crazy creature device exist gemstone infant object orbit planet precious typhoon alien evidence conclusive marvelous III Pollution holds heat in the air, and it might increase the effects of El Nino, but no one are sure yet The flowers may have five or six petals; color mays range from light pink to dark red If we had heavy rains in the spring, the river through my hometown always rises above its banks and floods the low-lying areas of the town Would people be able to fly if they have feathers instead of hair?
