Clouds play a crucial role in weather forecasting, acting as visible indicators of atmospheric conditions. Their formation, type, and movement provide valuable insights into temperature, humidity , and wind patterns. Meteorologists observe cloud formations to predict short-term weather changes, such as the
likelihood of rain, storms, or clear skies.
One key aspect of cloud observation is identifying cloud types. For example, cumulonimbus clouds, often
towering and anvil-shaped, are associated with thunderstorms and heavy precipitation. In contrast, cirrus
clouds, thin and wispy at high altitudes, often indicate fair weather in the short term but might signal an approaching warm front.
By analyzing the movement and transformation of clouds, meteorologists can track weather systems. The
direction and speed of cloud movement reveal wind patterns at different altitudes. Rapidly changing cloud formations, especially the vertical development of cumulus clouds, often signal unstable atmospheric
conditions and a higher chance of storms. Understanding the relationship between cloud
formations and weather patterns allows meteorologists to
issue accurate forecasts, providing essential information for various sectors, including agriculture, aviation,
and disaster preparedness. Continuous observation and analysis of clouds remain vital for predicting and
mitigating the impacts of weather events.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Coral reefs are often called the "rainforests of the sea" due to their incredible biodiversity. These underwater
ecosystems are formed by tiny animals called coral polyps, which secrete calcium carbonate skeletons that
build up over time. While they cover less than 1% of the ocean floor, coral reefs support an estimated 25% of all marine life.
Reef formation is a slow process, with some coral species growing less than an inch per year. Corals thrive
in warm, shallow, and clear water, where sunlight can reach the algae living within their tissues. These algae,
through photosynthesis, provide the coral with essential nutrients.
Unfortunately, coral reefs are facing numerous threats. Climate change is a major concern, as rising ocean temperatures can lead to coral bleaching. This occurs when corals expel the algae living within them,
causing the coral to turn white and become more susceptible to disease.
Pollution from coastal development, overfishing, and destructive fishing practices also pose significant risks
to coral reef ecosystems. These threats can damage coral, disrupt the delicate balance of the reef, and Trang 13
ultimately lead to their decline. Protecting these valuable ecosystems is
crucial for the health of our oceans
and the countless species that depend on them.
31. What is the main purpose of the reading passage?

Stop-motion animation, a technique dating back to the late 19th century, involves meticulously posing and
photographing physical objects frame by frame to create the illusion of movement. This painstaking process,
while time-consuming, allows for incredible creativity and tactile charm. Animators utilize a variety of
materials, from clay and puppets to everyday objects, to build their characters and sets.
One of the most celebrated forms of stop-motion is claymation, famously used in films like "Wallace & Gromit". H ere, characters and environments are sculpted from malleable clay , allowing for smooth, expressive movements and fantastical transformations. Another popular technique is puppet animation,
where jointed puppets with replaceable faces are manipulated to convey emotions and dialogue.
Despite the rise of computer-generated imagery (CGI), stop-motion maintains its appeal. Its handcrafted
aesthetic adds a unique warmth and texture often lacking in digital animation. Modern filmmakers continue to utilize stop-motion, blending it with CGI to create visually stunning and memorable cinematic experiences.
From the whimsical worlds of Wes Anderson to the dark fantasy of Tim Burton, stop-motion animation
continues to enchant audiences with its timeless charm and boundless creative possibilities.
