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

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 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

6 The word "tolerate" is closest in meaning to _ A endure B replace C compensate D reduce

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 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 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?

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

Scientists have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause disease in

animals In addition, man can catch the disease from animals In fact, a greater numbers of wild birds seem to carry the virus without showing any evidences of illness Some scientists

conclude that a large family of influenza virus may have evolved in the bird kingdom, a group that has been on earth 100 million years and is able to carry the virus without contracting the disease There is even convincing evidence to show that virus strain are transmitted from place to place and from continent to continent by migrating birds It is known that two influenza

viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time The result of such recombination is a great variety of strains containing different H and N spikes This raises the possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus from a lower animal to produce an entirely new spike Research is underway to determine if that is the way major new strains come into being Another possibility is that two animal influenza strains may recombine in a pig, for example, to produce a new strain which is transmitted to man

A two influenza viruses in the same animal recombining B animal viruses recombining with human viruses C two animal viruses recombining

D two animal viruses recombining in a human

Several hundred million years ago, plants similar to modern ferns covered vast stretches of the land Some were as large as trees, with giant fronds bunched at the top of trunks as straight as pillars Others were the size of bushes and formed thickets of undergrowth Still others lived in the shade of giant club mosses and horsetails along the edges of swampy lagoons where giant amphibians swam

A great number of these plants were true ferns, reproducing themselves without fruits or seeds Others had only the appearance of ferns Their leaves had organs of sexual reproduction and produced seeds Although their “flowers” did not have corollas, these false ferns (today

completely extinct) ushered in the era of flowering plants Traces of these floras of the earliest times have been preserved in the form of fossils Such traces are most commonly found in shale and sandstone rocks wedged between coal beds Today only tropical forests bear living proof of the ancient greatness of ferns The species that grow there are no longer those of the Carboniferous period, but their variety and vast numbers, and the great size of some, remind us of the time when ferns ruled the plant kingdom
