Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric literature is its freshness, its originality of perspective Satire rarely offers original ideas Instead, it presents the familiar in a new form Satirists not offer the world new philosophies What they is look at familiar conditions from a perspective that makes these conditions seem foolish, harmful, or affected Satire jars us out of complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values we unquestioningly accept are false Don Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd; Brave New World ridicules the pretensions of science; A Modest Proposal dramatizes starvation by advocating cannibalism None of these ideas is original Chivalry was suspect before Cervantes, humanists objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous Huxley, and people were aware of famine before Swift It was not the originality of the idea that made these satires popular It was the manner of expression, the satiric method, that made them interesting and entertaining Satires are read because they are aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are morally wholesome or ethically instructive They are stimulating and refreshing because with commonsense briskness they brush away illusions and secondhand opinions With spontaneous irreverence, satire rearranges perspectives, scrambles familiar objects into incongruous juxtaposition, and speaks in a personal idiom instead of abstract platitude Satire exists because there is need for it It has lived because readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus, an irreverent reminder that they live in a world of platitudinous thinking, cheap moralizing, and foolish philosophy Satire serves to prod people into an awareness of truth, though rarely to any action on behalf of truth Satire tends to remind people that much of what they see, hear, and read in popular media is sanctimonious, sentimental, and only partially true Life resembles in only a slight degree the popular image of it Soldiers rarely hold the ideals that movies attribute to them, nor ordinary citizens devote their lives to unselfish service of humanity Intelligent people know these things but tend to forget them when they not hear

For many years, scientists have speculated that the cataclysmic impact of an asteroid with the earth was responsible for the demise of the dinosaurs approximately 65 million years ago Previous discoveries and results have hinted that an asteroid two kilometers in diameter struck the Yucatan peninsula in Eastern Mexico This impact, stronger than one thousand nuclear explosions, is speculated to have cast a cloud of dust and debris into the atmosphere, covering the entire surface of the earth and blocking out the sun and consequently lowering the surface temperature of the earth
With such a radical change in the earth’s environment, scientists believe that over 90% of all animal and plant species were eradicated Only after millions of years did plants and animals even begin to recover But, the reign of the dinosaurs had ended and the age of mammals had begun
The crucial link that has held this theory together has been the element iridium Iridium is not commonly found on either the surface of the earth or inside the crust It is more commonly found in asteroids or meteorites throughout the solar system Scientists have hypothesized that after the asteroid impacted the earth, an even layer of iridium sediment settled over the global and eventually became part of its surface The theory, of course, has depended on the discovery of such an existing layer of iridium
Unfortunately, scientists have never been able to offer absolute proof that this asteroid impact ever occurred Recently, however, a discovery may go a long way toward validating these scientists’ theories In 1996, a team of marine biologists excavated samples of rock from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Bermuda Found thousands of meters below the sea, these samples contain iridium similar to those found in the Yucatan peninsula thousands of kilometers away At first, scientists were skeptical whether the samples were from the same time period But since carbon dating placed them to 65 million years ago, their doubts were quickly alleviated Since then, many of the other theories for the demise of the dinosaur have been finally laid to rest
Question 53: This passage mainly discusses a theory about _ A the extinction of the dinosaurs
B which type of dinosaur roamed where
C archeological evidence from Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean D why the dinosaurs turned into birds and reptiles
Question 54: According to the passage, approximately how large was the asteroid that scientists believe struck the Earth?
A 2 kilometers in diameter B 65 kilometers in diameter C 1000 kilometers in diameter D 99 kilometers in diameter Question 55: The word “hinted” is closest in meaning to
A denied B flirted C implied D disproved
Question 56: The word “cast” is closest in meaning to _
A shone B dispersed C excused D climbed
Question 57:What can be inferred from the passage about asteroid impact mentioned in lines – 8? A New plants and animals evolved with the changed environment
B The climate remained fairly constant
(5)Question 58: The word “reign” is closest in meaning to _
A extremity B understanding C dominance D denial Question 59: The word “It” in line 10 refers to

C can be refined into fossil fuels
