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 from 36 to 40.
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth’s history called the Mesozoic Era,
which is known as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years
ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then
about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge.
The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words meaning - terrible lizard‖. Dinosaurs were
not lizards, but their appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than
ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modern - day whales.
The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus, reached 80 to 90
feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however, some were actually no larger than a
chicken.
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaur to disappear. One theory involves a change
in the earth’s climate. It is believed that temperature dropped significantly towards the end of the
Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is
possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having
protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive.

A. The domination of the land B. The metabolism of dinosaurs

B. It varied quite greatly.
C. It guaranteed their survival.
D. It was rather uniform.

A. very hot B. extremely wet C. very cold D. humid
40. Which of the following can be inferred about mammals and birds?
A. Most have either fur or feathers over their bodies.
B. They preceded the dinosaurs.
C. They were too large to hibernate.
D. They could not survive the chilly temperatures.
