Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
One of the most devastating forces on Earth is a hurricane. A hurricane begins as a
tropical storm. The storm winds blow in circles around a center, called the "eye". Gradually, the
winds get stronger and stronger. A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when the winds are 120
kilometers per hour or more.
The word "hurricane" comes from Huracan, an evil god of a Central American Indian tribe.
In other parts of the world, hurricanes are known by different names. In East Asia, they are
usually called typhoons, from the Chinese tai-feng, meaning "great wind." In Bangladesh, Pakistan,
India, and Australia, they are known as cyclones. Finally, in the Philippines, they are called
baguios.
Few things in nature have as much power as hurricanes. They can destroy coastal areas
with heavy rains and winds of 250 kilometers per hour or more. Sometimes a hurricane causes
the ocean to flood onto land in an event called a storm surge. The total power of a hurricane may
be equal to 10,000 nuclear bombs.
