Đáp án: D Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. For many years, scientists have speculated that the cataclysmic impact of ail asteroid with the earth was responsible for the demise of the dinosaurs approximately 65 million years ago. Previous discoveries and results have hinted that an asteroid two kilometres in diameter struck the Yucatan peninsula in Eastern Mexico. This impact, stronger than one thousand nuclear explosions, is speculated to have cast a cloud of dust and debris into the atmosphere, covering the entire surface of the earth and blocking out the sun and consequently lowering the surface temperature of the earth. With such a radical change in the earth environment, scientists believe that over 99% of all animal and plant species were eradicated. Only after millions of years did plants and animals ever begin to recover. But the reign of the dinosaurs had ended and the age of mammals had begun. The crucial link that has his theory together has been the element iridium. Iridium is not commonly found on either the surface of the earth or inside the crust. It is more commonly found in asteroids or meteorites through out the solar system. Scientists have hypothesized that after the asteroid impacted the earth, an even layer of iridium sediment settled over the globe and eventually became part of its surface. The theory of course, has depended on the discovery of such an existing layer of iridium. Unfortunately, scientists have never been able to offer absolute proof that this asteroid impact ever occurred. Recently, however, a discovery may go a long way toward validating these scientists’ theories. In 1996, a team of marine biologists excavated samples of rock from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean just off the coat of Bermuda. Found thousands of meters below the sea, these samples contain iridium similar to those found in the Yucatan peninsular thousands kilometers away. At first, scientists were skeptical whether the samples were from the same time period. But since carbon dating placed them to 65 million years ago, they doubts were quickly alleviated. Since then many of the other theories for the demise of the dinosaur have been finally laid to rest. 51. This passage mainly discusses a theory about A. Which type of dinosaur roamed where.
