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 scarely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop. Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not aliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moistskinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found. Trang 5/5 - Mã đề thi 357 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 word. The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, 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.

A. “collections of cells that form the different parts of humans, animals and plants” B. “the smallest units of living matter that can exist on their own” C. “very smal 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” Câu 74: Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as . A. water is an essential part of his existence B. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert C. very few lagre animals are found in the desert D. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things Câu 75: The pharse “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT . A. the coyote and the bobcat B. moist-skinned animals C. many large animals D. water-loving animals Câu 76: According to the passage, creatures in the desert . A. are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world B. run and leap faster than those in the tangled forest C. run and leap more slowly than those in the tangled forest D. are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest Câu 77: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT . A. they dig home underground B. they are noisy and aggressive C. they are watchfull and quiet D. they sleep during the day Câu 78: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means .
