IV. COMPREHENSION READING
Read the following passage. For questions 51 – 55, you are to choose one best answer (A, B,
C or D) to each question.
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth's history called the Mesozoic
Era, which is also known as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200
million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and
strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge.
The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words meaning terrible lizard. Dinosaurs were
not lizards, but their appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than
ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modem-day whales.


The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur, and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to
90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however; some were actually no larger than a
chicken.
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaurs to disappear. One theory involves a
change in the earth's climate. It is believed that temperatures dropped significantly towards the
end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection,

it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having
protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive.

A. The History of Earth B. Earth's Largest Reptiles C. The Metabolism of Dinosaurs
D. The Domination of the Land

________.
A. 135 million years B. 200 million years C. 80 million years D. 65
million years
53. In line 5, the author uses the phrase "never to reemerge" to indicate that the dinosaurs
________.
A. went into hiding B. became extinct C. lost their way
D. never died out
54. According to the passage, what is true about the size of dinosaurs?
A. It was rather uniform. B. It guaranteed their survival.
C. It made them the largest creatures ever on earth. D. It varied quite greatly.
55. Which of the following can be inferred about mammals and birds?
A. They preceded the dinosaurs. B. They could not survive the chilly
temperatures.
C. Most have either fur or feathers over their bodies. D. They were too large to hibernate.
