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

Unlike these fish, which are actually extinct, the coelacanth is a type of fish that was believed to be extinct. However, an unexpected twentieth- century rediscovery of living coelacanths has brought about a reassessment of the status of the prehistoric sea creature that was believed to have long since disappeared from the Earth. From fossil remains of the coelacanth, paleontologists have determined that the coelacanth was in existence around 350 million years ago, during the Paleozoic Era, more than 100 million years before the first dinosaurs arrived on the Earth. The most recent fossilized coelacanths date from around 70 million years ago, near the end of the age of dinosaurs. Because no fossilized remnants of coelacanth was believed to have died out around the same time as the dinosaurs.

The prehistoric coelacanth studied by paleontologists had distinctive characteristics that differentiated it from other fish. It was named for its hollow spine and was known to have been a powerful carnivore because of its many sharp teeth and a special joint in the skull that allowed the ferocious teeth to move in coordination with the lower jaw. It also had a pair of fins with unusual bony and muscular development that allowed the coelacanth to dart around the ocean floor. These fins also enable the coelacanth to search out prey trying to hide on the ocean bottom.

In 1938, a living specimen of the coelacanth was discovered in the catch of a fishing boat off the coast of South Africa, and since then numerous other examples of the coelacanth have been found in the waters of the Indian Ocean. This modern version of the coelacanth is not exactly the same as its prehistoric cousin. Today's coelacanth is larger than its prehistoric relative, measuring up to six feet in length and weighing up to 150 pounds. However, the modern version of the coelacanth still possesses the characteristic hollow spine and distinctive fins with their unusual bony and muscular structure.

According to the passage, why are scientists sure that the prehistoric coelacanth was a flesh-eater?

A. Because of its hollow spine

B. Because of its unusual bony and muscular development

C. Because of the shape and movement of the teeth

D. Because of the size of the skull

Chủ đề của đoạn trước rất có thể là

A. sự khám phá cá vây tay B. đánh giá lại tình trạng của một số loại cá

C. một sinh vật biển thời tiền sử đặc biệt D. các loài cá tuyệt chủng khác nhau

Bởi ở đầu bài viết này có nhắc đến “these fish, which are actually extinct” nên đoạn trước có thể nói về các loài cá đã tuyệt chủng

Dịch bài đọc:

Không giống như những loài cá này thực sự đã tuyệt chủng, cá vây tay là một loại cá được cho là đã tuyệt chủng. Tuy nhiên, một khám phá lạ lùng trong thế kỷ hai mươi về cá vây tay sống đã mang đến một đánh giá về trạng thái của sinh vật biển tiền sử được cho là từ lâu đã biến mất khỏi Trái Đất.

Từ các hóa thạch còn lại của cá vây tay, các nhà cổ sinh vật học đã xác định rằng cá vây tay đã tồn tại khoảng 350 triệu năm trước, trong kỷ nguyên Paleozoi, hơn 100 triệu năm trước khi những con khủng long đầu tiên xuất hiện trên trái đất. Các loài cá vây tay hoá thạch gần đây nhất được cho là từ khoảng 70 triệu năm trước, gần cuối thời kỳ khủng long. Bởi vì không có hóa thạch còn sót lại của cá vây tay được cho là đã chết trong khoảng thời gian giống như khủng long.

Cá vây tay tiền sử được các nhà cổ sinh vật học nghiên cứu có đặc điểm phân biệt với các loài cá khác. Nó được đặt tên bởi cột sống rỗng của nó và được biết đến là một động vật ăn thịt mạnh bởi nhiều răng sắc và một khớp đặc biệt trong hộp sọ cho phép răng khoẻ mạnh chuyển động cùng với hàm dưới. Nó cũng có một đôi vây với sự phát triển xương và cơ bắp bất thường cho phép cá vây tay lặn xuống đáy đại dương. Những vây này cũng cho phép cá vây tay tìm ra con mồi cố gắng trốn trên đáy đại dương.

Năm 1938, một mẫu vật sống của cá vây tay đã được tìm thấy trong một chiếc thuyền đánh bắt ngoài khơi Nam Phi, và kể từ đó nhiều ví dụ khác của cá vây tay đã được tìm thấy ở vùng biển Ấn Độ Dương. Phiên bản hiện đại của cá vây tay không hoàn toàn giống với thời tiền sử của nó. Cá vây tay ngày nay lớn hơn so với tiền sử của nó, có chiều dài lên đến 6 feet và nặng đến 150 pound. Tuy nhiên, phiên bản hiện đại của cá vây tay vẫn có cột sống rỗng đặc trưng và các vây đặc biệt với cấu trúc xương và cơ bất thường của chúng.
