Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions
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 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
36 The title for this passage could be _
A “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment” B “Life Underground” C “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” D “Desert Plants”
37 Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as _ A very few lagre animals are found in the desert
B sources of flowing water are rare in a desert C water is an essential part of his existence
D water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things
38 The pharse “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _ A many large animals B the coyote and the bobcat
C moist-skinned animals D water-loving animals 39 According to the passage, creatures in the desert _
A run and leap more slowly than those in the tangled forest B are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest C run and leap faster than those in the tangled forest
(4)40 The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT _ A they are watchfull and quiet B they dig home underground
C they sleep during the day D they are noisy and aggressive 41 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 “thin and weak because of lack of food and water”
C “large and strong, difficult to control or deal with ”
D “able to get what one wants in a clever way, especially by tricking or cheating”
42 According to the passage, one characteristic of animals living in the desert is that _ A they can hunt in temperature of 150 degrees
B they live in an accommodating environment C they are smaller and fleeter than forest animals
D they are less healthy than animals living in other places 43 We can infer from the passage that _
A desert life is colorful and diverse B water is the basis of desert life C living things adjust to their environment D healthy animals live longer lives
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions
THE BODY CLOCK
Why is it that flying to New York from London will leave you feeling less tired than flying to London from New York? The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology
Deep inside the brain there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of the body’s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”)
This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon
One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of a person’s internal body clock with clocks in the external world
Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity To make matters more complex, not all internal body functions adjust at the same rate So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether
Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day
That is why travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights
When flying west, you are “extending” your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock Flying eastward will involve “shrinking” or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural tendency
One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted There are many reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours
Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent
It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone
(5)A help us sleep B help us adapt to a 24-hour cycle C regulate the body’s functions D govern all the body’s responses 45 The word “It” refers to
A the programme B the body clock C the function D the brain 46 The direction you fly in
A extends or shrinks your body clock B alters your body’s natural rhythms C helps you sleep better D affects the degree of jet lag
47 On the subject of avoiding jet lag the article
A suggests changing the time on your watch B proposes gradually adjusting your body clock C says there is nothing you can D makes no suggestions
48 According to the author, which of the following reasons disrupt travelers’ sleep? A Travelers try to sleep between 3-5 p.m
B Travelers’ attention is reduced by 75 percent
C Travelers fly in the natural direction of their internal clock
D The traveler’s internal circadian clock has to adjust to patterns of light and activity 49 It can be inferred from the passage that
A there are more travelers in westward flights than in eastward ones B westward travelers become friendlier than eastward ones
C travelers have to spend more money flying westward than eastward D travelers not sleep as well in eastward flights as in westward ones 50 The word “fatigue” is closest in meaning to
A exhaustion B obsession C frustration D sleeplessness
