A Diseased of desert animals B Human use of desert animals C Weather variations in the desert D Adaptations of desert animals Question 46: According to the passage, why is light coloring an advantage to large desert animals? A It helps them hide from predators (4) B It keeps them cool at night C It helps them see their young at night D It does not absorb sunlight as much as dark colors Question 47: The word “maintaining” is closest in meaning to _ A delaying B preserving C measuring D inheriting Question 48: The author uses of Grant’s gazelle as an example of A an animal that is not as well adapted as the camel B an animal with a low average temperature C a desert animal with a constant body temperature D a desert animal that can withstand high body temperatures Question 49: 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 drinking D Just after sunset Question 50: The word “tolerate” is closest in meaning to _ A replace B compensate C reduce D endure Question 51: What causes water intoxication? A Bacteria in water B Lack of water C Drinking polluted water D Drinking too much water very quickly Question 52: Why does the author mention humans in the second paragraph?
