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. 61. The best title for this passage could be_______.

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 64. The phrase those forms in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT_________. A. water-loving animals B. the coyote and the bobcat C. moist-skinned animals D. many large animals 65. According to the passage, creatures in the desert_________. A. run and leap faster than those in the tangled forest B. run and leap more slowly than those in the tangled forest C. are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest D. are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world 66.

A. they sleep during the day B. they dig home underground C. they are noisy and aggressive D. they are watchful and quiet 67. The word emaciated in the passage mostly means_________.
