VIII Read the following passage and choose the correct answer (5 points)

About 200 million years ago, as the Triassic Period came to a close, many species of animals disappeared from the face of the Earth Scientists previously believed that the series of

extinctions happened over a period of 15 to 20 million years Recent discoveries in Nova Scotiasuggest, however, that the extinctions 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 theMcCoy Brook Formation along the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia Fossils found in this formationindicate a rapid disappearance of species rather than a slow and gradual change over time.One explanation for a relatively sudden extinction at the end of the 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 strike the earth, it would give more credence to the theory of rapid Triassicextinctions It is possible, however, that even if a rapid extinction happened in and around NovaScotia, it did not necessarily occur in the rest of the world

- meteorite: thiên thạch

A connection B dispersion C separation D end

A emphasize the disappearance

D point out the reference to land, not water

3 All of the following were mentioned in the passage EXCEPT

A the extinction of late Triassic animals

B the duration of time for the extinction

C a large meteorite hitting the Earth 10 million years ago

D the use of types of rock in scientific research

4 Which of the following could best replace the word "struck" ?

A affected B discovered C devastated D hit

5 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 rather sudden extinction of species

C the possibility of an extinction happening throughout the world at the same

time

D a meteorite hole in the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia

IX Rewrite each of the following sentences, beginning as shown, so that its meaning does not change (10 points)

Thank you both for the wonderful wedding present Both Jill and I have always wanted to

go to France and visit the many museums We were so shocked when we first saw the airplane tickets that we almost fainted! It was more than we could have hoped to receive airplane tickets

to France as a wedding present! Paris is wonderful! The only trouble is trying to decide where

to go I want to go to the museums, but Jill wants to see more of the beautiful traditional churches In the end, we decided to see the churches in the morning (when the weather is cool), and the museums in the afternoon (because they’re air-conditioned) This allows us to get the most sight-seeing done during our two-week stay There are many coffee shops, too Jill likes sitting outsite and watching people, but I like sitting inside where I can enjoy the smell of the coffee French coffees are so much more aromantic and stronger than the coffee we are used to back home Thanks again for the lovely trip! We sent you a postcard, but I think we will arrive back home before you get it It is a picture of the Eiffel Tower.
