A few are found alone, but almost all are grouped in formations termed galactic clusters. These formations should not be confused with stellar clusters, globular clusters of stars that exist within a galaxy. The size of galactic clusters varies enormously, with some clusters containing only a dozen or so members and others containing as many as 10,000. Moreover, galactic clusters themselves are part of larger clusters of clusters, termed superclusters. It is surmised that even clusters of superclusters are possible. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a galactic cluster called the Local Group, which has twenty members and is typical in terms of the types of galaxies it contains. There are three large spiral galaxies: Andromeda, the largest galaxy in the group; the Milky Way, the second-largest galaxy; and the Trianglum Spiral, the third largest. There are also four medium-sized spiral galaxies, including the Large Cloud of Magellan and the Small Cloud of Magellan. There are four regular elliptical galaxies; the remainders are dwarf ellipticals. Other than our own galaxy, only Andromeda and the Clouds of Magellan can be seen with the naked eye, and the Clouds are visible only from the Southern Hemisphere. In the vicinity of the Local Group are several clusters, each containing around twelve members. The nearest cluster rich in members is the Virgo Cluster, which contains thousands of galaxies of all types. Like most large clusters, it emits X-rays. The Local Group, the small neighboring clusters, and the Virgo Cluster form part of a much larger cluster of clusters – the Local Supercluster. The existence of galactic clusters presented a riddle to scientists for many years – the “missing mass” problem. Clusters are presumably held together by the gravity generated by their members. However, measurements showed that the galaxies did not have enough mass to explain their apparent stability. Why didn’t these clusters disintegrate? It is now thought that galaxies contain great amounts of “dark matter”, which cannot be directly observed but which generates gravitational pull. This matter includes gas, dust, burnt-out stars, and even black holes. 31: Which of the followings does the passage mainly discuss? A. An astronomical problem that has never been solved. B.

Yet another three billion years were to pass before the first plants and animals appeared on the continents. Life's transition from the sea to the land was perhaps as much of an evolutionary challenge as was the genesis of life. What forms of life were able to make such a drastic change in lifestyle? The traditional view of the first terrestrial organisms is based on megafossils - relatively large specimens of essentially whole plants and animals. Vascular plants, related to modern seed plants and ferns, left the first comprehensive megafossil record. Because of this, it has been commonly assumed that the sequence of terrestrialization reflected the evolution of modern terrestrial ecosystems. In this view, primitive vascular plants first colonized the margins of continental waters, followed by animals that fed on the plants, and lastly by animals that preyed on the plant- eaters. Moreover, the megafossils suggest that terrestrial life appeared and diversified explosively near the boundary between the Silurian and the Devonian periods, a little more than 400 million years ago. Recently, however, paleontologists have been taking a closer look at the sediments below this Silurian-Devonian geological boundary. **It turns out that some fossils can be extracted from these sediments by putting the rocks in an acid bath. The technique has uncovered new evidence from sediments that were deposited near the shores of the ancient oceans - plant microfossils and microscopic pieces of small animals**. In many instances the specimens are less than one-tenth of a millimeter in diameter. Although they were entombed in the rocks for hundreds of millions of years, many of the fossils consist of the organic remains of the organism. These newly discovered fossils have not only revealed the existence of previously unknown organisms, but have also pushed back these dates for the invasion of land by multicellular organisms. Our views about the nature of the early plant and animal communities are now being revised. And with those revisions come new speculations about the first terrestrial life-forms. 51: The word "drastic" is closest in meaning to ________. A. radical B. riskyC. widespread D. progressive 52: According to the theory that the author calls "the traditional view", what was the first form of life to appear on land? A. Meat-eating animals B. Plant-eating animals C. Bacteria D. Vascular plants 53: According to the passage, what happened about 400 million years ago? A. New life-forms on land developed at a rapid rate. B. The megafossils were destroyed by floods. C. Life began to develop in the ancient seas. D. Many terrestrial life-forms died out. 54: The word "extracted" is closest in meaning to __________. A. located B. studied C. preserved D. removed 55: What can be inferred from the passage about the fossils mentioned from "It turns out that some fossils can be . . ." to ". . . pieces of small animals"? A. They have not been helpful in understanding the evolution of terrestrial life. B. They are older than the megafossils. C. They consist of modern life-forms. D. They were found in approximately the same numbers as vascular plant fossils. 56: The word "instances" in line 17 is closest in meaning to _________. A. methods B. cases C. processes D. reasons 57: The word "they" refers to __________. A. specimens B. rocks C. oceans D. shores 58: The word "entombed" is closest in meaning to _________.

The discovery of microfossils supports the traditional view of how terrestrial life evolved. B. The technology used by paleontologists is too primitive to make accurate determinations about ages of fossils. C. The evolution of terrestrial life was as complicated as the origin of life itself. D.
