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.

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 adapted. 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, even affect 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. The 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 revolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as resulting from rapid ecological change?

A. Temperature changes

B. Introduction of new species

C. Competition among species

D. Availability of food resources

Bài dịch

Người ta ước tính rằng hơn 99 phần trăm tất cả các loài từng tồn tại đã bị tuyệt chủng. Điều gì gây ra sự tuyệt chủng? Khi một loài không còn thích nghi với môi trường đã thay đổi, nó có thể biến mất. Các nguyên nhân chính dẫn đến một loài chết đi khác nhau đối với các trường hợp khác nhau. Sự thay đổi hệ sinh thái quá nhanh có thể khiến môi trường sống trở nên khó khăn với các loài đó. Ví dụ, nhiệt độ có thể thay đổi mà một loài không thể thích nghi. Nguồn thức ăn có thể bị ảnh hưởng bởi những thay đổi của môi trường, sau đó sẽ tiếp tục gây ra những vấn đề khác cho loài mà cần sử dụng nguồn thức ăn này. Các loài khác có thể thích nghi tốt hơn với môi trường, dẫn đến sự cạnh tranh và cuối cùng, là cái chết của một loài nào đó.

Các mẫu hóa thạch cho thấy rằng sự tuyệt chủng đã xảy ra trong suốt lịch sử của trái đất. Phân tích gần đây cũng tiết lộ rằng trong một số trường hợp nhiều loài đã tuyệt chủng cùng lúc - tuyệt chủng hàng loạt. Một trong những ví dụ nổi bật nhất của tuyệt chủng hàng loạt xảy ra vào 65 triệu năm trước đây với sự sụp đổ của khủng long và nhiều sinh vật sống khác. Có lẽ lần tuyệt chủng hàng loạt lớn nhất xảy ra vào 225 triệu năm trước đây, khi khoảng 95 phần trăm số loài đã chết. Tuyệt chủng hàng loạt có thể bị gây ra bởi sự thay đổi tương đối nhanh chóng của môi trường và có thể trở nên tồi tệ hơn bởi các mối liên hệ mật thiết giữa các loài. Ví dụ, nếu một điều gì đó đã xảy ra và tiêu diệt nhiều sinh vật phù du trong các đại dương, sau đó hàm lượng oxy của trái đất sẽ giảm, thậm chí ảnh hưởng đến các sinh vật không sống trong đại dương. Một sự thay đổi như vậy có thế sẽ dẫn đến sự tuyệt chủng hàng loạt.

Một khám phá thú vị, và cũng gây nhiều tranh cãi, đó là sự tuyệt chủng trong suốt 250 triệu năm qua đã có xu hướng tăng mạnh mẽ hơn sau mỗi 26 triệu năm. Sự tuyệt chủng có chu kỳ này có thể là do giao điểm của quỹ đạo trái đất với một đám mây sao chổi, nhưng thuyết này hoàn toàn chỉ là suy đoán. Một số nhà nghiên cứu cũng đã cho rằng sự tuyệt chủng thường là ngẫu nhiên. Nghĩa là một số loài bị loại bỏ và những loài khác có thể tiếp tục tồn tại mà không có lý do cụ thể nào. Sự tồn tại của một loài có thể không liên quan gì đến khả năng thích nghi hay không thích nghi của chúng. Nếu vậy, một vài sự tiến hóa lịch sử có thể phản ánh một chuỗi các sự kiện ngẫu nhiên quan trọng.

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 adapted. 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, even affect 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. The 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 revolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events.

Which of the following can be inferred from the theory of periodic extinction mentioned in paragraph 3?

A. The theory is no longer seriously considered.

B. evidence to support the theory has recently been found.

C. Most scientists believe the theory to be accurate.

D. Many scientists could be expected to disagree with it.

Đầu đoạn cuối: One interesting, and controversial finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years have tended to be more intense every 26 million years. The periodic extinction… is purely speculative -> phát hiện gây tranh gãi rằng sự tuyệt chủng 250 triệu năm qua cứ 26 triệu năm một lần sẽ gay gắt hơn. Thuyết tuyệt chủng theo giai đoạn này chỉ là suy đoán ---> nhiều nhà khoa học không đồng ý
