Life originated in the early seas less than a billion years after the Earth was formed Yet another

three billions 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 essential 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 10 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 the 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 sediments below this

Silurian- Devonian geological boundary It turns out that some fossils can be extracted from these

sediments by putting the rock 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 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 view

about the nature of the early plants and animal communities are now being revised And with those

revisions come new speculations about the first terrestrial life-forms

Question 35: The word “drastic” is closest in meaning to

Trang 4

Question 36: According to the theory that the author calls “the traditional view”, what was the first

form of life to appear on land?

Question 37: According to the passage, what happened about 400 million years ago?

A Many terrestrial life-forms died out

B:New life-forms on land developed at a rapid rate

C:The megafossils were destroyed by floods

D: Life began to develop in the ancient seas

Question 38: The word “extracted” is closest in meaning to _ _

Question 39: What can be inferred from the passage about the fossils mentioned in the lines 17-20?

A They have not been helpful in understanding the evolution of terrestrial life

B: They were found-in approximately the same number as vascular plant fossils

C: They are older than megafossils

D: They consist of modern life forms

Question 40: The word “instances” is closest in meaning to

Question 41: The word “they” refers to _

Question 42: The word “entombed” is closest meaning to _

Question 43: Which of the following resulted from the discovery of microscopic fossils?

A The time estimate for the first appearance of the terrestrial life forms was revised

B: Old techniques for analyzing fossils were found to have new uses

C: The origins of primitive sea life were explained

D: Assumptions about the locations of ancient seas were changed

Question 44: With which of the following conclusions would the author probably agree?

A The evolution of terrestrial life was as complicated as the origin of life itself

B: The discovery of microfossils supports the traditional view of how terrestrial life evolved

C: New species have appeared at the same rate over the cause of the last 400 million years

D: The technology used by paleontologists is too primitive to make accurate determinations about ages

of fossils

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 45 to 54

Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their

name from the Japanese expression for “high water in a harbor.” These waves are also referred to by

the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides Scientists often

referred to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from undersea

seismic activity

Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake

or volcano for example, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced This sudden

shift of water sets off a series of waves These waves can travel great distances at speeds close to

Trang 5

700 kilometers per hour In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more

than one or two meters It is when they hit the shallow waters near the coast that they increase in

height, possibly up to 40 meters

Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity

Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis are Japan and Hawaii Because

the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to

the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often come with little warning and can, therefore, prove

disastrous Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however, originate thousands of miles

away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance to travel and the

inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for warning of their imminent arrival

Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii In 1755, Europe experienced a

calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive

tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon

The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa

volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby

Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was

witnessed as far away as the English Channel

Question 45:The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses

Question 46:: According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves

EXCEPT that A they are caused by sudden changes in high and low tides B: this

terminology is not used by the scientific community

C: they are the same as tsunamis

D: they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves

Question 47: The word “displaced” in line 7 is closest in meaning to

Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that tsunamis

A are often identified by ships on the ocean

B: generally reach heights greater than 40 meters

C: are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean

D: cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean

Question 49:In line 10, water that is “shallow” is NOT

coastal

Question 50:A main difference between tsunamis in Japan and in Hawaii is that tsunamis in Japan

are more likely to

A come from greater distances B: originate in Alaska

C: arrive without warning D: be less of a problem

Question 51:The possessive “their” in line 18 refers to

C: thousands of miles D: the inhabitants of Hawaii

Question 52:A “calamitous” tsunami, in line 20, is one that is

Question 53:: From the expression “on record” in line 22, it can be inferred that the tsunami that

accompanied the Krakatoa volcano

A was filmed as it was happening B: occurred before efficient records were kept

C: was not as strong as the tsunami in Lisbon D: might not be the greatest tsunami ever

Question 54:The passage suggests that the tsunami resulting from the Krakatoa volcano

A was unobserved outside of the Indonesian islands

B resulted in little damage

c was far more destructive close to the source than far away

D: caused volcanic explosions in the English Channel
