IV. COMPREHENSION READING
Read the following passage. For questions 51 55, you are to choose one best answer (A, B, C or D) to
each question.
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth's history called the Mesozoic Era, which is also
known as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of
years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out
rather suddenly, never to reemerge.
The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words meaning terrible lizard. Dinosaurs were not lizards, but their
appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature elephant
and nearly equaled the size of most modem-day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur, and
tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however; some were actually no
larger than a chicken.
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaurs to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth's
climate. It is believed that temperatures dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to
hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs.
In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive.

A. The History of Earth

52. It can be inferred from the passage that the Age of Reptiles lasted about
________.
A. 135 million years
