Question 91 – 100
The Hollywood sign in the hills that line the northern border of Los Angeles
is a famous landmark recognized the world over. The white-painted, 50-foot-
high, sheet metal letters can be seen from great distances across the Los Angeles
Line basin.
5 The sign was not constructed, as one might suppose, by the movie business
as a means of celebrating the importance of Hollywood to this industry; instead.
it was first constructed in 1923 as a means of advertising homes for sale in a 500-
acre housing subdivision in a part of Los Angeles called "Hollywood land." The
sign that was constructed at the time, of course, said "Hollywood land." Over
10 the years, people began referring to the area by the shortened version
"Hollywood," and after the sign and its site were donated to the city in 1945. the
last four letters were removed.
The sign suffered from years of disrepair, and in 1973 it needed to be
completely replaced, at a cost of $27.700 per letter. Various celebrities were
15 instrumental in helping to raise needed funds. Rock star Alice Cooper, for
example, bought an O in memory of Groucho Marx, and Hugh Hefner of Playboy
fame held a benefit party to raise the money for the Y. The construction of the
new sign was finally completed in 1978.
For hundreds of years in the early history of America, pirates sailed through
coastal waters, pillaging and plundering all in their path. They stole from other
ships and stole from coastal towns; not content only to steal, they destroyed
Line everything they could not carry away. Some of the pirate ships amassed large
5 treasures, the fates of which are unknown, leaving people of today to wonder at
their whereabouts and to dream of one day coming across some lost treasure.
One notoriously large treasure was on the pirate ship Whidah, which sank
in the waters off Cape Cod during a strong storm in 1717. A hundred of the crew
members went down with the ship, along with its treasure of coins, gold, silver,
10 and jewels. The treasure on board had an estimated value, on today's market, of
more than 100 million dollars.
The remains of the Whidah were discovered in 1984 by Barry Clifford, who
had spent years of painstaking research and tireless searching, only finally to
locate the ship about 500 yards from shore. A considerable amount of treasure
15 from the centuries-old ship has been recovered from its watery grave, but there
is clearly still a lot more out there. Just as a reminder of what the waters off the
coast have been protecting for hundreds of years, occasional pieces of gold, or
silver, or jewels still wash up on the beaches, and lucky beach-goers find pieces
of the treasure.

Question 131 – 140
Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis,
which derive their name from the Japanese expression for "high water in a
harbor." These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves,
Line although they have relatively little to do with tides. Scientists often refer to them
5 as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from undersea
seismic activity.
Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an
underwater earthquake or volcano, for example, and the water above the
moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of water sets off a series of
10 waves. These waves can travel great distances at speeds close to 700 kilometers
per hour. In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no
more than one or two meters. It is when they hit the shallow waters near the
coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 meters.
Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy
15 seismic activity. Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of
tsunamis are Japan and Hawaii. Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis
in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the
tsunamis that hit Japan often come with little warning and can therefore prove
disastrous. Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however,
20 originate thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis
have a much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally
have time for warning of their imminent arrival.
Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii. in 1755, Europe
experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near
25 the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and
flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon. The greatest tsunami on record
occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano
underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto
nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled
around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel.

passage most probably discusses following are true about tidal waves
EXCEPT that
(A) tidal waves
