Scientists previously believed that the series of extinction happened over a period of 15 to 20 million years. Recent discoveries in Nova Scota suggest, however, that the extinction may have happened over a much shorter period of time, perhaps less than 850,000 years. Evidence for a rapid extinction of species at the end of the Triassic period is found in the McCoy Brook Formation along the Bay of Fundy, in Nova Scotia. Fossils found in this formation indicate a rapid disappearance of species rather than a slow and gradual change over time. One explanation for a relatively suden extinction at the end of Triassic may be that a large meteorite struck the earth at the time and is responsible for a 70 kilometer hole nearby. If geologists and other researchers can find evidence, such as shocked quartz in the rock formations, that a meteorite did trike the earth, it would give more credence to the theory of rapid Triassic extinctions. It is possible, however, that even if a rapid extinction happen in and around Nova Scotia, it did not necessarily occur in the rest of the world. 51. What is the main topic of this passage? A. The disappearance of animal species at the end of the Triassic Period B. Evidence of a relatively sudden extinction of species. C.

Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau và lựa chọn phơng án đúng (ứng với A,B,C hoặc D ) cho mỗi ô trống từ 61 đến 70 The ancient Egyptians firmly believed in the afterlife and spent their time on earth preparing for it. Elaborate burial rituals included preparing the burial site, providing for all of the deceaseds material needs (food, clothing, jewels, and tools for their trade), and preserving the corpse so that it would not decay.This preservation was accomplished through a process of mumification. The ancients left no written accoumts as to the execution of this process, so scientists have had to examine mummies and established their own theories.The embalming process might have taken up to seven days for the pharaohs and nobility and only a few days for the poor. The embalmers spread a variety of compounds of salt, spices, and resins in and over the corpse to preserve it. They followed this with a prescribed wrapping, a procedure in which they wound strips of fine linen around, over and under the body while placing various amulets within the wrappings to protect the deceased from harm on the long journey to the afterlife.They have also painted resins over the wrapped linen.Finally, a pharaoh or nobble would have been encased in a wooden box before being placed in a sarcophagus. 61.
