About 200 million years ago, as the Triassic Period came to a close, many species of animals
disappeared from the face of the Earth. Scientists previously believed that the series of extinctions happened
over a period of 15 to 20 million years. Recent discoveries in Nova Scotia 5 suggest, however, that the
extinctions may have happened over a much shorter period of time, perhaps less than 850,000 years.
Evidence for a rapid extinction of species at the end of the Triassic Period is found in the McCoy Brook
Formation along the Bay of Fundy 10 in Nova Scotia. Fossils found in this formation indicate a rapid
disappearance of species rather than a slow and gradual change over time. One explanation for a relatively
sudden extinction at the end of the Triassic may be that a large meteorite struck the earth at the time and is
responsible for a 70- kilometer hole nearby. If geologists 15 and other researchers can find evidence, such as
shocked quartz in the rock formations, that a meteorite did strike the earth, it would give more credence to
the theory of rapid Triassic extinctions. It is possible, however, that even if a rapid extinction happened in and
around Nova Scotia, it did not necessarily occur in the rest 20 of the world.
1. What is the main topic of this passage?
A. the disappearance of animal species at the end of the Triassic Period
B. evidence of a relatively sudden extinction of species
C. the possibility of an extinction happening simultaneously throughout the world

D. a meteorite hole in the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia
2. The author uses the phrase “the face of the Earth” in line 2 in order to ………
A. emphasize the disappearance
B. focus on one part of the Earth
C. focus on one period of time
D. point out the reference to land, not water
3. All of the following were mentioned in the passage EXCEPT ………
A. the extinction of late Triassic animals
B. the duration of time for the extinction
C. a large meteorite hitting the Earth 10 million years ago
D. the use of types of rock in scientific research
4. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “relatively” in line 7?
A. comparatively
B. independently
C. phenomenally
D. visibly
5. According to the passage, what would give evidence that a meteorite struck the earth?
A. a gradual change in species over time
C. gold deposits in the veins of rocks
B. a change in the quartz
D. a change in the waters of the Bay of Fundy
6. Which of the following could best replace the word “struck” as used in line 8?

7. Which of the following is most probably the meaning of “shocked quartz” in line 10?
A. narrow chasms
B. tiny lines
C. hardened ores

D. cracked minerals
8. In line 10, “it” refers to ………
A. evidence
B. an extinction
C. the Earth
D. a meteorite
9. Which of the following could best replace the word “credence” in line 10?
A. demonstration
B. elevation
C. suitability
D. credibility
10. Which of the following best describes the author’s tone?
A. aggressive

VI. Read the text and mark the correct letter A, B, C or D for each question below. (0,5pt)


Earthquakes are probably one of the most frightening and destructive happenings of nature that man
experiences. The effects of an earthquake are often terrible. Earthquakes have caused the death of many
human beings, much suffering, and great damage. Today, the study of earthquakes has grown greatly as
scientists all over the world study the causes of earthquakes. Scientists hope that their studies will improve the
ways of predicting earthquakes and also develop ways to reduce their destructive effects.
The scientific study of earthquakes is somewhat new. Until the 18th century, few factual descriptions of
earthquakes were recorded; In general, people did not understand the cause of earthquakes. Many believed
that they were a punishment from God. One early theory was that earthquakes were caused by air rushing out
of caverns deep in the interior of the earth.
On November 1, 1755, a serious earthquake occurred near Lisbon, Portugal. Shocks from the quake
were felt in many parts of the world. After the quake, Portuguese priests were asked to observe the effects and

to make written records. These records were the first scientific steps to write down the effects of an
earthquake. Since that time, detailed records have been kept of almost every major earthquake.
Most earthquakes occur in areas around the Pacific Ocean. This belt of areas is called the “ring of fire”
and includes the Pacific coasts of North and South America, the Aleutian Islands, Japan, Southeast Asia, and
Australia. Half a million people within the “ring of fire” have died because of earthquakes and much valuable
property has been severely damaged or destroyed.
An earthquake is the oscillatory, sometimes violent, movement of the earth’s surface that comes after a
release of energy in the crust of the earth. Most destructive quakes are caused by the dislocation of the crust.
Forces from beneath the surface of the earth cause the crust to bend and then break and the rocks on the
surface move into a new position. The breaking of the rocks causes vibrations called “seismic waves”. These
vibrations travel from the source of the earthquake to distant places along the surface of the earth. The seismic
waves cause the entire planet to tremble or ring like a bell.
The vibrations produced by earthquakes are discovered, recorded, and measured by instruments called
seismographs. Vibrations are of two general types: surface waves and body waves. Surface waves travel
along the earth's surface and body waves travel through the earth. Surface waves usually have the strongest
vibrations and probably cause most of the damage done by earthquakes.
Currently, scientists are making studies to predict earthquakes. At the present time, scientists do not
have the knowledge required to predict the time and size of earthquakes. However, a large group of scientists
at the National Centre for Earthquake Research in California, has been able to predict the areas where
earthquakes might occur. Research at the centre about the physical and chemical nature of rocks and their
behavior under the force of an earthquake will help engineers to design and build structure for areas that often
suffer from earthquakes.
1. Line 9, “caverns” are probably ………
A. earthquakes occurring in the interior of the earth
B. strong winds caused by earthquakes
C. rivers and lakes in major earthquake areas
D. deep holes under the ground
2. The first detailed records of an earthquake ………
A. were kept in the 17th century
B. showed that earthquakes were a punishment from God

C. were written down in Portugal
D. explained the theory that earthquakes started in the caverns in the interior of the earth
3. The rocks on the surface of the earth change their position when ………
A. the crust of the earth is bent and broken by underground forces
B. forces on the surface of the earth bend and break the crust of the earth
C. the earth trembles or rings like a bell
D. great damage and much suffering are caused
4. Seismic waves can be defined as ………
A. the bending and breaking of the rocks on the surface of the earth
B. the vibrations that result from the breaking of rocks
C. the release of energy in the crust of the earth
D. the dislocation of the earth’s crust
5. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?
A. Information about the types of vibrations.
B. Studies on earthquake prediction at present.
C. Examples of the biggest earthquakes that have occurred so far.
D. History of the scientific study of earthquakes.
