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 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 paragraph refers to _ A environment B species C extinction D 99 percent Question 29 What does the author say in paragraph 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 Trang 3/9 C They have caused rapid change in the environment D They are no longer in existence Question 30 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph as resulting from rapid ecological change? A Temperature changes B Availability of food resources C Introduction of new species D Competition among species Question 31 The word “demise” in line 10 is closest in meaning to A change B recovery C help D death Question 32 Why is “plankton” mentioned in paragraph 2? 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 oiganisms that live on the land and those that live in the ocean D To point out that certain species could never become extinct Question 33 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 34 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 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42 A considerable body of research has demonstrated a correlation between birth order and aspects such as temperament and behavior, and some psychologists believe that birth order significantly affects the development of personality Psychologist Alfred Adler was a pioneer in the study of the relationship between birth order and personality A key point in his research and in the hypothesis that he developed based on it was that it was not the actual numerical birth position that affected personality; instead, it was the similar responses in large numbers of families to children in specific birth order positions that had an effect For example, first - borns, who have their parents to themselves initially and not have to deal with siblings in the first part of their lives, tend to have their first socialization experiences with adults and therefore tend to find the process of peer socialization more difficult In contrast, later-born children have to deal with siblings from the first moment of their lives and therefore tend to have stronger socialization skills Trang 4/9 Numerous studies since Adler’s have been conducted on the effect of birth order and personality These studies have tended to classify birth order types into four different categories: first-born, secondborn and/or middle, last, and only child Studies have consistently shown that first-bom children tend to exhibit similar, positive and negative personality traits First-borns have consistently been linked with academic achievement in various studies; in one study, the number of National Merit scholarship winners who are first - borns was found to be equal to the number of second - and third-borns combined First - borns have been found to be more responsible and assertive than those born in other birth-order positions and tend to rise to positions of leadership more often than others; more first - borns have served in the U.S Congress and as U.S presidents than have those born in other birth - order positions However, studies have shown that first-borns tend to be more subject to stress and were considered problem children more often than later-borns Second-born and/or middle children demonstrate markedly different tendencies from firstborns They tend to feel inferior to the older child or children because it is difficult for them to comprehend that their lower level of achievement is a function of age rather than ability, and they often try to succeed in areas other than those in which their older sibling or siblings excel They tend to be more trusting, accepting, and focused on others than the more self-centered first-borns, and they tend to have a comparatively higher level of success in team sports than first-borns or only children, who more often excel in individual sports The last-born child is the one who tends to be the eternal baby of the family and thus often exhibits a strong sense of security Last-borns collectively achieve the highest degree of social success and demonstrate the highest levels of self - esteem of all the birth-order positions They often exhibit less competitiveness than older brothers and sisters and are more likely to take part in less competitive group games or in social organizations such as sororities and fraternities Only children tend to exhibit some of the main characteristics of first-borns and some of the characteristics of last-borns Only children tend to exhibit the strong sense of security and selfesteem exhibited by last-borns while, like first-borns, they are more achievement oriented and more likely than middle-or last-borns to achieve academic success However, only children tend to have the most problems establishing close relationships and exhibit a lower need for affiliation than other children Question 35 The word body in paragraph could best be replaced by _ A corpse B amount C organization D skeleton Question 36 The word it in paragraph refers to _ A personality B component C research D hypothesis Question 37 What is stated in paragraph about Adler? A He was one of the first to study the effect of birth order on personality B He believed that it was the actual birth order that affected personality C He had found that the responses by family members had little to with personality D He was the only one to study birth order Question 38 The word traits in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A stresses B marks C characteristics D fears Trang 5/9 Question 39 Which of the sentences below expresses the essential information in the bold sentence in paragraph 3? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information A In spite of certain characteristics that first-borns possess, many of them become leaders B An interesting fact that is difficult to explain is that many first-borns have served in high government positions C Because first-borns tend to be very assertive, they are uncomfortable serving in government positions D Several examples support the idea that first-borns have characteristics that make them leaders Question 40: The word accepting in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A tolerant B affectionate C admissible D respectable Question 41 Which of the following is NOT true? A First-borns tend to well in individual sports B Middle children tend to have a preference for team sports C Last-borns tend to prefer games with fierce competition D Only children tend to prefer individual over team sports Question 42 Which of the following would be most likely to have a successful career but few close friendships?
