IV COMPREHENSION READING
Read the following passage For questions 51 – 55, you are to choose one best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth's history called the Mesozoic Era, which is also 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 modem-day whales The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur, and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length Not all dinosaurs were giants, however; some were actually no larger than a chicken
Scientists still not know what caused dinosaurs to disappear One theory involves a change in the earth's climate It is believed that temperatures 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
