***This

16. – 18 Refers to the following question.
A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great
flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes great suffering and loss
of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people are
homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams
overflow their banks and pour onto the surrounding land. Floods are caused by
many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief can cause a
flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding
land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the
land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low,
a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical
storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high
speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to
surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept
away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and
uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to
help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were invented, people formed bucket
brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from
the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to
hand to be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where
it happened. In the country or a small village, only a single house might burn
down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and
neighborhoods before being controlled.
16. What can possibly prevent rivers and lakes from
overflowing?
A. An
absorbent bed.
B. A
rocky surrounding.
C. A low
land.
D. A high bank.
