IV/ Read the passage then pick out one best option for your answer (8p)
Every four to ten years something happens to the weather system of the Earth.
Everything changes, and scientists don’t know why. The low-pressure area moves toward the
east, the high-pressure area is very weak, and the winds blow toward the east. A great pile of
warm surface water moves toward South America. People call this “El Nino“. It usually
happens at Christmas time, and El Nino is the Spanish name for the baby Jesus.
Usually the effects of El Nino are very mild. However, the one that started in 1982
was different from the other recent ones. It had a very powerful effect on the world’s
climate. It caused huge changes in the ocean currents. It caused floods in some areas and
droughts in others. There were terrible windstorms and huge ocean waves. These waves
swept houses into the sea. El Nino did billions of dollars worth of damage. Thousands of
people lost their lives and thousands of others were left homeless.
In 1983, the winds, ocean currents, and pressure areas started to become normal again.
Meanwhile, scientists throughout the world organized research to learn more about El Nino.
They are using satellites and research boats to observe the atmosphere and the ocean. It is a
very complicated problem, but if the scientists of the world work together, they should be
able to learn the causes of El Nino. Then they will be able to predict what will happen and
work to prevent a repeat of the death and destruction of 1982-1983.
