Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the question.
You have learned about dinosaurs in school. Maybe you have seen them in museum. But
how
much
do
you
really
know
about
these
animals?
Not
all
dinosaurs
were
just
big
reptiles.
For
years, scientists thought dinosaurs were big, dumb, and cold blooded - in other words, just giant
reptiles. Some dinosaurs were huge. But many were about the size of modern-day birds or dogs. Were
dinosaurs warm- or
cold
blooded?
Paleontologists-
are
not
sure.
But
they
believe
some
were
intelligent. Of course, no dinosaur was as smart as a human or even a monkey. However, some
smaller dinosaurs - like the two- meter (six-foot) Troodon — had fairly large brains.
Was Tyrannosaurus rex a powerful predator? Some scientists think the opposite is true. In
the movies, T.rex is often a speedy giant, but in fact, this dinosaur could not run very fast. Physically,
it was too large. In reality, T.rex probably moved as fast as an elephant. Also, T. rex had very
small
arms. Without
strong
legs
or
arms,
this
dinosaur
probably
wasn’t
a
powerful
hunter.
It
may have been a scavenger instead, only eating animals that were already dead.
Did an asteroid kill the dinosaurs? An asteroid hit Mexico’s Yucantan Peninsula about 65
million years ago. It created a 180-kilometer (HO-mile) wide crater called Chicxulub. Many believe
this asteroid caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. But even before this, dinosaurs were already dying
out around the world, for many reasons. At the end of the Cretaceous period, for example, the
global
climate
was changing
and
Earth's
temperature
was
getting
colder.Dinosaurs
completely
disappeared
about
65
million years
ago.
However,
scientists
believe
modern-day
birds
are
descendants of certain dinosaurs. If this true, then dinosaurs' relatives are still walking - and flying -
among us!
