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 eliminated 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 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 Question 21: The title for this passage could be _

A “Desert Plants” B “Life Underground”

C “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” D “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment”

Question 22: The word “inexorable” in the passage mostly means _

A relentless B full C demanding D essential

Question 23: 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 his existence

C water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things D very few large animals are found in the desert

Question 24: 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

B live in an accommodating environment

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

Question 26: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT _

A they sleep during the day B they dig home underground C they are noisy and aggressive D they are watchful and quiet

Question 27: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means _

A wild B cunning C unmanageable D unhealthy

Question 28: : the word “Them” means A animals

B people C water D minutes

Question 29: The word “burrows” in the passage mostly means _

A “places where insects or other small creatures live and produce their young” B “holes or tunnels in the ground made by animals for them to live in”

C “structures made of metal bars in which animals or birds are kept” D “places where a particular type of animal or plant is normally found” Question 30: We can infer from the passage that _

A living things adjust to their environment B water is the basis of desert life

C desert life is colorful and diverse 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 to each of the questions from number 31 to 35

Let children learn to judge their own work A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s In the same way, they learn all the other things they learn to without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them We it all for him We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher Let him it himself Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not

Read the following passage and choose the right answer to each of the questions.

Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated Advocates of organic foods- a term whose meaning varies greatly- frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others

The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the foods supply is unsafe or inadequate in the meeting nutritional needs Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and formed the basic for folklore

Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like

One thing that most organically grown foods products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe foods So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy expensive organic foods instead Question 56 The “ welcome development” mentioned in paragraph is an increase in

A interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans B the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet C the amount of healthy foods grown in North America D the number of consumers in North America

Question 57 According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term “organicfoods”?

Question 58 The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because

A organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods

B many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods

C conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods D too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops

Question 59 According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than conventionally grown foods are often

A careless B mistaken C thrifty D wealthy

Question 60 What is the author’s attitude towards the claims made by advocates of health foods?

A Very enthusiastic B Skeptical C Neutral D Somewhat favorable Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks.

Interpreting the feelings of other people is not always easy, as we all know, and we (61) ………… as much on what they seem to be telling us, as on the actual words they say Facial (62) ……… and tone of voice are obvious ways of showing our (63) to something, and it may well be that we unconsciously express views that we are trying to hide The art of being (64) ……… lies in picking up these signals, realizing what the other person is trying to say, and acting so that they are not embarrassed in any way For example, we may understand that they are in fact (65) ……… to answer our question, and so we stop pressing them Body movements in general may also indicate feelings, and interviewers often pay particular attention to the way a candidate for a job walks into the room and sits down However it is not difficult to present the right kind of appearance, while what many employers want to know relates to the candidate’s character traits, and (66) ………… stability This raises the awkward question of whether job candidates should be asked to complete psychological tests, and the further problem of whether such tests actually produce (67) ……… results For many people, being asked to take part in such a test would be an objectionable (68) ……… into their private lives

Question 61: A reckon B rely C trust D estimate
