Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 37.
Earthquakes are destructive events in nature. The damage depends on the size or magnitude of the quake. There have never been so many people living in cities in quake zones, and so the worse the damage can be from a big quake, bringing fires, tsunamis, and the loss of life, property, and maybe an entire city.
We understand how earthquakes happen but not exactly where or when they will occur. Until recently, quakes seemed to occur at random. In Japan, government research is now showing that quakes can be predicted. At the Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo, Koshun Yamaoka says earthquakes do follow a pattern—pressure builds in a zone and must be released. But a colleague, Naoyuki Kato, adds that laboratory experiments indicate that a fault slips a little before it breaks. If this is true, predictions can be made based on the detection of slips.
Research in the U.S. may support Kato’s theory. In Parkfield, California earthquakes occur about every 22 years on the San Andreas fault. In the 1980s, scientists drilled into the fault and set up equipment to record activity to look for warning signs. When an earthquake hit again, it was years off schedule. At first the event seemed random but scientists drilled deeper. By 2005 they reached the bottom of the fault, two miles down, and found something. Data from two quakes reported in 2008 show there were two “slips’—places where the plates widened—before the fault line broke and the quakes occurred.
We are learning more about these destructive events every day. In the future we may be able to track earthquakes and design an early-warning system. So if the next great earthquake does happen in Tokai, about 100 miles southwest of Tokyo, as some scientists think, the citizens of Tokai may have advance warning.

Chọn đáp án C
Ý chính của đoạn văn là gì?
A. Chúng ta có thể dự đoán động đất bằng lý thuyết trượt trước.
B. Hiện nay có nhiều giả thuyết về động đất.
C. Nghiên cứu cho thấy rằng chúng ta có thể dự đoán được các trận động đất.
D. Động đất là thảm họa thiên nhiên có sức tàn phá khủng khiếp nhất trên trái đất.
=> Căn cứ vào các thông tin sau:
+ “We understand how earthquakes happen but not exactly where or when they will occur. Until recently, quakes seemed to occur at random. In Japan, government research is now showing that quakes can be predicted.”
(Chúng tôi hiểu động đất xảy ra như thế nào nhưng không biết chính xác nơi nào hoặc khi nào chúng sẽ xảy ra. Cho đến gần đây, các trận động đất dường như xảy ra một cách ngẫu nhiên. Tại Nhật Bản, nghiên cứu của chính phủ hiện đang cho thấy có thể dự đoán được các trận động đất.)
+ “We are learning more about these destructive events every day. In the future we may be able to track earthquakes and design an early-warning system.”
(Chúng tôi đang tìm hiểu thêm về những sự kiện hủy diệt này mỗi ngày. Trong tương lai, chúng tôi có thể theo dõi các trận động đất và thiết kế một hệ thống cảnh báo sớm.)
=> Từ đó, ta thấy tiêu đề phù hợp nhất là: Nghiên cứu cho thấy rằng chúng ta có thể dự đoán được các trận động đất.
