VII. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions
New Orleans, in Louisiana, is known as the most unique city in the United States with distinctive
architecture, cross-cultural heritage and annual music festivals.
However, due to its location along the Mississippi River with lakes on the other side, and nearly half of
the city below sea level, the city faces the danger of flooding. So, a levee system and drainage canals were
built to protect the city.
Early in the morning of August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina, the most destructive natural disaster in the
history of New Orleans, struck the city. The storm brought strong winds and heavy rain for several days.
As a result, water from the river and lakes rose, breaking the levees and poured directly into the city.
Soon 80 percent of the city was under the water. People scrambled to rooftops for safety, desperate for
food and drinking water. The winds were so strong that even beds in Hyatt Hotel were seen flying out of
the hotel windows. The loss was tremendous. Most of the major roads and bridges were destroyed, and
houses collapsed. Nearly 2.000 people were killed. After the storm, several natural grounds for the
breeding and migrating of different species of animals and birds were permanently lost.
