WRITTEN TEST 02
I. Read the passage and answer the question
A team of Russian scientists has challenged the theory that the woolly mammoths
became extinct 10,000 years ago at the end of the Ice Age. The scientists have reported
that the beasts may have survived until 2000 B.C. on an island off the coast of Siberia,
where researchers 5 uncovered 29 fossilized woolly mammoth teeth ranging in age from
4,000 to 7,000 years. The question to be asked now is, how did these prehistoric
pachyderms survive in their island environment? One possibility is that they adapted to
their confined surroundings by decreasing their bulk. This theory is based on their smaller
tooth size, which 10 has led scientists to believe that they were only 6 feet tall at the
shoulder compared with 10 feet of their full-sized counterpart. But would this be enough
to enable them to survive thousands of years beyond that of other mammoths?
Researchers are still working to uncover the reasons for this isolated group’s belated
disappearance.
