Read the following passage carefully and complete the sentences with the best answer
Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the
crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop
Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not a limited life but only those forms unable to withstand its
desiccating effects No moist skinned, water-loving animals can exist there Few large animals are found The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest Its population is
largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not emaciated Having
adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the world The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology
None could survive, like mad dogs and Englishmen, if they went out in the midday sun; many
would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows
underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees
66 The word burrows in the passage mostly means _
A places where insects or other small creatures live and produce their young
B holes or tunnels in the ground made by animals for them to live in
C structures made of metal bars in which animals or birds are kept
D places where a particular type of animal or plant is normally found
67 We can infer from the passage that _
A living things adjust to their environment B water is the basis of desert life
C desert life is colorful and diverse D healthy animals live longer lives
68 The best title for this passage could be _
A “Desert Plants” B “Life Underground”
C “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” D “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment”
Trang 5Mã đề 334 - Page 5 of 4
69 The word tissues in the passage mostly means _
A the smallest units of living matter that can exist on their own
B collections of cells that form the different parts of humans, animals and plants
C very small living things that cause infectious disease in people, animals and plants
D the simplest forms of life that exist in air, water, living and dead creatures and plants
70 Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as _
A sources of flowing water are rare in a desert
B water is an essential part of life existence
C water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things
D very few large animals are found in the desert
71 The word emaciated in the passage mostly means _
A living or growing in natural conditions, not kept in a house or on a farm
B able to get what one wants in a clever way, especially by tricking or cheating
C large and strong, difficult to control or deal with
D thin and weak because of lack of food and water
72 According to the passage, one characteristic of animals living in the desert is that _
A they are smaller and fleeter than forest animals
B they are less healthy than animals living in other places
C they can hunt in temperature of 150 degrees
D they live in an accommodating environment

A run and leap faster than those in the tangled forest
