It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct What

causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish The

exact causes of a species’ death vary from situation to situation Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able

to adapt Food Resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources Other species may become better adapted to an environment,

resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species.

The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time – a mass extinction One of the best-known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago

with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the

one that occurred 225 million years ago When approximately 95 percent of all species died, mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of

the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affection even organisms not

living in the oceans Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction

One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years

have tended to be more intense every 26 million years This periodic extinction might be due to intersection of the Earth’s orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative Some researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason A species’ survival may have nothing to do with its ability or inability to adapt If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events

Question 28 The word “it” in line 2 refers to

A environment B species C extinction D 99 percent

Question 29 The word “ultimately” in line 6 is closest in meaning to

A exceptionally B dramatically C eventually D unfortunately

Question 30 What does the author say in paragraph 1 regarding most species in Earth’s history?

A They have remained basically unchanged from their original forms

B They have been able to adapt to ecological changes

C They have caused rapid change in the environment

D They are no longer in existence

Question 31 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as resulting from rapid

ecological change?

A Temperature changes B Availability of food resources

C Introduction of new species D Competition among species

Question 32 The word “demise” in line 10 is closest in meaning to

A change B recovery C help D death

Question 33 Why is “plankton” mentioned in line 14?

A To demonstrate the interdependence of different species

B To emphasize the importance of food resources in preventing mass extinction

C To illustrate a comparison between organisms that live on the land and those that live in the ocean

D To point out that certain species could never become extinct

Question 34 According to paragraph 2, evidence from fossils suggests that

A extinction of species has occurred from time to time throughout Earth’s history

B extinctions on Earth have generally been massive

C there has been only one mass extinction in Earth’s history

D dinosaurs became extinct much earlier than scientists originally believed

Question 35 The word “finding” in line 16 is closest in meaning to

A published information B research method

C ongoing experiment D scientific discovery

Question 36 Which of the following can be inferred from the theory of periodic extinction mentioned

in paragraph 3?

A Many scientists could be expected to disagree with it

B Evidence to support the theory has recently been found

C The theory is no longer seriously considered

D Most scientists believe the theory to be accurate

Question 37 In paragraph 3, the author makes which of the following statements about a species’

survival?

A It reflects the interrelationship of many species

B It may depend on chance events

C It does not vary greatly from species to species

D It is associated with astronomical conditions

The United States Department of Education describes " giftedness" as exceptionally advanced performance or the potential for outstanding performance in intellectual, creative leadership, artistic, or specific academic fields Children who demonstrate outstanding talents come from all social, cultural, and economic groups

Educators believe that gifted students require special education services because their learning needs differ significantly from those of the general population They learn more rapidly and are able to

understand more abstract and complex ideas They are also able to trasform existing knowledge into

new and useful forms, and to create new knowledge recognized for its originality, complexity, and

elegance Speccial education services and facilities for gifted children may enhance these abilities In

addition, some gifted learners may require special counseling services to address social or emotional adjustment issues that are complicated by their exceptional abilities

Many regular elementary and secondary schools in the United states offer special programs designed specifically to meet the needs of gifted students Some schools provide specialized education programs to gifted children exclusively These schools offer advanced education in mathematics,

science, technology, the arts, or other academic disciplines Many school districts rely on intelligence

tests to identify gifted students However, most guidelines for determining giftedness recommend the use of a combination of standardized test scores, rating systems developed by individual schools, classroom observation records, and performance assessments

Gifted children may study a specially modified curriculum or may progress through academic subjects at an accelerated pace Acceleration involves adapting aducation programs so that students may progress through particular subject materrial quicker than usual These modifications may take place within the regular classroom setting or they may involve changing the child's placement in school Some gifted children gain early entrance to kindergarten, skip grades, enter college earlier than usual, or take specific courses with older children Ideal programs for gifted students consider the individual needs of children and offer multiple options for services These programs generally involve both advanced course materials and acceleration
