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 from 37 to 43.
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 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 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.

A. beasts
B. pachyderms

DỊCH BÀI
Nhóm các nhà khoa học Nga đã “thách thức” lý thuyết về voi ma - mút lông xoăn bị tuyệt chủng cách đây 10,000 năm vào cuối kỷ băng hà. Họ cho rằng những con quái vật này có thể vẫn còn tồn tại cho đến năm 2000 Trước công nguyên trên đảo ngoài khơi Siberia, nơi nhà nghiên cứu khám phá 29 hoá thạch răng voi ma - mút lông xoăn từ 4,000 đến 7,000 năm tuổi. Câu hỏi để được đặt ra bây giờ là, làm cách nào mà loài da dày từ thời tiền sử này tồn tại ở môi trường đảo?
Lý thuyết này dựa vào cỡ răng nhỏ của voi ma mút, cái mà đã làm cho các nhà khoa học tin rằng chúng chỉ cao 6 feet tại vai so với 10 feet của voi tổ tiên. Nhưng sẽ này có đủ để chúng có thể tồn tại hàng ngàn năm ngoài của voi ma - mút khác? Nhà nghiên cứu vẫn còn đang làm việc để khám phá lý do biến mất trễ muộn này.
