PASSAGE 1
It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct What causes
extinction? 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
do with its ability or inability to adapt If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events
1 The word "it" in line 2 refers to.
A environment B species C extinction D 99 percent
2 The word "ultimately" in line 6 is closest in meaning to.

A They have remained basically unchanged from their original forms
B They are no longer in existence
C They have been able to adapt to ecological changes
D They have caused rapid change in the environment
4 The word "demise" is closest in meaning to.
A change B recovery C help D death
5 Why is "plankton" mentioned in line 14?
A To illustrate a comparison between organisms that live on the land and those that live in the ocean
B To point out that certain species could never become extinct
C To demonstrate the interdependence of different species
D To emphasize the importance of food resources in preventing mass extinction
6 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
Trang 4D Most scientists believe the theory to be accurate.
7 In paragraph 3, the author makes which of the following statements about a species' survival?

C It does not vary greatly from species to species D It is associated with astronomical conditions
PASSAGE 2
Millions of people are using cellphones today In many places, it is actually considered unusual not

that mobile phones are bad for your health
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss He couldn't remember even simple tasks He would often forget the name of his own son This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about As the
