(1 point) Large animals inhabit the desert have evolved adaptations for reducing the effects of extreme hot. One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect the Sun's rays. Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of maintaining a constantly body temperature. Instead of try to keep down the body temperature inside the body, what would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert mammals allow their temperatures rise to what would normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degree Celsius have been measured in Grant's gazelles. The overheated body cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature may fall unusual low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel. This is a advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight absorb in warming up the body.

  4. PART 3: READING (6.0 points) I.Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question. (2, 0 points) Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small. Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s. As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, “The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur.” What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles. Women are still excluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted , “ In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard, they could become chairman of the board. Now they have found out that it isn’t going to happen, so they go out on their own.” In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in “women’s” fields – cosmetics and clothing , for example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22 - million - a year computer software business. It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering. When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers – and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company’s cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer- science graduates to develop additional programs. When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow. It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock. Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do. They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money ; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women are still quite small. But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzig in the years ahead. 1. What is the main idea of the text? A. Women today are opening more businesses of their own. B. Women are better at small businesses than men are. C. The computer is especially lucrative for women today. D. Women today are better educated than in the past, making them more attractive to the business world. 2. Charlotte Taylor believes that women in the 1970s _____________. A. were unable to work hard enough to succeed in business. B. had fewer obstacles in business than they do today. C. were still more interested in education than business opportunities. D. were unrealistic about their opportunities in business management. 3. The author mentions the “shoebox under the bed” in order to ____________. A. suggest that the company needed to expand B. show the frugality of women in business C. show the resourcefulness of Sandra Kurtzig D. point out that initially the financial resources of Sandra Kurtzig’s business were limited. 4. The expression “keep tabs on” is closest in meaning to ______________. A. pay the salaries of C. keep records of B. provide transportation for D. recognize the appearance of 5. The word “hurdles” can be best replaced by ______________. A. small groups B. fences C. obstacles D. questions 6. The author’s attitude about the future of women in business is _____________. A. skeptical B. optimistic C. frustrated D. negative 7. The word “ excluded” is closest in meaning to _______________. A. often invited to B. not permitted in C. decorators of D. charged admissions to

B. women achieving advanced degrees C. a woman becomes chairman of the board D. woman believing that business is a place for them 10. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes that businesses operated by women are small because _______________.
