PART VIII Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions

Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing the effects of extreme heat One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb the Sun's rays Desert

mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of maintaining a constant body temperature

Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in Grant's gazelles The overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature may fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel This is an advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day

Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be fatal

for non-adapted animals The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes

in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to dehydrate at one session, because the human stomach

is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water intoxication The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience in people that appetite

is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst

1 What is the main topic of the passage?

A Weather variations in the desert B Adaptations of desert animals

C Diseased of desert animals D Human use of desert animals

2 According to the passage, why is light coloring an advantage to large desert animals?

A It helps them hide from predators

B It does not absorb sunlight as much as dark colors

C It helps them see their young at night

D It keeps them cool at night

3 The word "maintaining" is closest in meaning to _

A measuring B inheriting C preserving D delaying

4 The author uses of Grant's gazelle as an example of _

A an animal with a low average temperature

B an animal that is not as well adapted as the camel

C a desert animal that can withstand high body temperatures

D a desert animal with a constant body temperature

5 When is the internal temperature of a large desert mammal lower?

A Just before sunrise B In the middle of the day

C Just after sunset D Just after drinking

Trang 7

6 The word "tolerate" is closest in meaning to _

7 What causes water intoxication?

A Drinking too much water very quickly B Drinking polluted water

C Bacteria in water D Lack of water

8 What does the author imply about desert-adapted mammals?

A They do not need to eat much food B They can eat large quantities quickly

C They easily lose their appetites D They can travel long distances looking for food

9 Why does the author mention humans in the second paragraph?

A To show how they use camels B To contrast them to desert mammals

C To give instructions about desert survival D To show how they have adapted to desert life

10 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an adaptation of large desert animals?

A Variation in body temperatures B Eating while dehydrated

C Drinking water quickly D Being active at night

Your answers:

PART IX Read the text below and decide which answer A, B, C or D best fits each space

When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently (1) across words you do not fully understand Sometimes you check the meaning in a dictionary and sometimes you (2) The strategy you adopt depends very much upon the (3) of accuracy you require and the time at your disposal

If you are the sort of person who tends to turn to the dictionary frequently, it is worth remembering that every dictionary has its (4) Each definition is only an approximation and one builds up an accurate picture of the meaning of a word only after meeting it in a (5) of contexts It is also important to recognize the special dangers of dictionaries that translate from English into your native language and vice versa If you must use a dictionary, it is usually far safer to (6) an English-English dictionary

In most exams you are not permitted to use a dictionary (7) you are allowed to use one, it is very time-consuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited You are, (8) , forced to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words

When you find unknown words in an exam text, it is very easy to panic However, if you develop efficient techniques for guessing the meaning, you will (9) a number of possible problems and help yourself to understand far more of the text than you at first thought likely

Two strategies which may help you guess the meaning of a word are: using contextual clues, both within the sentence and outside, and making use of clues (10) from the formation of the word

II Read the following passage and decide which option A, B, C or D best fits each space

(10 points)

Schools in the United States have not always had a large number of libraries As (56) as

1958 about half of the public schools in the United States had no libraries at all The number of public school libraries increased dramatically (57) _ the federal government passed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, ( 58) _ provided funds for school districts to improve their education programs and facilities, including their libraries (59) , many educators claim that since the legislation was passed federal spending has not increased sufficiently to meet the rising (60) of new library technologies such as computer databases and Internet access

Because the federal government provides only limited funds to schools, individual school districts (61) _ on funds from local property taxes to meet the vast majority of public school expenses Therefore, the libraries of the public schools tend to reflect the (62) capabilities of the communities in which they are located Districts in wealthy suburbs often have fully staffed libraries (63) _ abundant resources, spacious facilities, and curricular and instructional support In (64) , school districts in many poor areas house their libraries in ordinary classrooms or in small rooms The libraries in such areas are generally staffed by volunteers, who organize and (65) books that are often out-of-date, irrelevant, or damaged

III Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D(10 points)

Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season

Drying, smoking and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage But in 1810, a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of canning And in the 1850’s an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860’s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines

Trang 39

that mass-produced cans from tinplate Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year

Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets Growing urban population created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great

distances and to preserve them for longer periods Thus, by the 1890’s, northern city dwellers could

enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables As easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870’s, and by

1900 the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home

deliveries The icebox became a fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized

refrigerator replaced it in the 1920’s and 1930’s

Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet Some people continued to eat mainly foods that

were heavily in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat Nevertheless, many

families could take advantage of previously unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare

66 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A Causes of food spoilage

B Commercial production of ice

C Population movements in the nineteenth century

D Inventions that led to changes in the American diet

67 The phrase “in season” in line 1 refers to

A a particular time of year B a kind of weather

C an official schedule D a method of flavoring

68 During the 1860’s, canned food products were

A unavailable in rural areas B available in limited quantities

C shipped in refrigerator cars D a staple part of the American diet

69 It can be inferred that railroad refrigerator cars came into use

A before 1860 B before 1890 C after 1900 D after 1920

70 The word” them” in line 13 refers to

A refrigerator cars B.growers C perishables D distances

71 The word” fixture” in line 18 is closest in meaning to

A commonplace object B substance C luxury item D mechanical device 72.The author implies that in the 1920’s and 1930’s home deliveries of ice

A increased in cost B occurred only in the summer

C decreased in number D were on an irregular schedule

73 The word “ Nevertheless” in line 21 is closest meaning to

A occasionally B however C therefore D because

74 Which of the following types of food preservation was NOT mentioned in the passage?

A Drying B Chemical additives C Canning D Cold storage

75 Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?

A Most farmers in the United States raised only fruits and vegetables

B People who lived in cities demanded home delivery of foods

C Tin cans and iceboxes helped to make many foods more widely available

D Commercial ice factories were developed by railroad owners
