One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb the Sun's rays.<br /> Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of maintaining a constant body<br /> temperature. Instead of trying to keep down toe body temperature deep inside the body, which would<br /> involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what<br /> would normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in<br /> Grant's gazelles. The overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the<br /> temperature may fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel. This is an<br /> advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an<br /> excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day.<br /> Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that<br /> would be fatal for non-adapted animals. The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight as water<br /> without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight.<br /> An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink. Desert animals can<br /> drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few<br /> minutes. A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to rehydrate at one<br /> session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body<br /> fluids causes death from water intoxication. The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in the<br /> desert, as animals do not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and<br /> far-flung pastures. Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely<br /> dehydrated, it is a common experience in people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate<br /> thirst.<br /> Câu 41: What is the main topic of the passage?<br /> A. Adaptations of desert animals<br /> B. Diseases of desert animals<br /> C. Weather variations in the desert<br /> D.

The advantages claimed for such foods over<br /> conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods - a<br /> term whose meaning varies greatly - frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious<br /> than others.<br /> The growing interest of consumers in the safety and more nutritional quality of the typical North<br /> American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping<br /> claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these<br /> claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such<br /> claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating<br /> a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits<br /> to health have become widely publicized and form the basis for folklore.<br /> Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for "no-aging" diets, new vitamins, and other<br /> wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic<br /> ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better<br /> than fumigated grains and the like.<br /> One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost<br /> more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic<br /> foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So<br /> there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular<br /> food and buy only expensive organic foods instead.<br /> Câu 53: The word "Advocates" is closest in meaning to which of the following?<br /> A. Merchants<br /> B. Consumers<br /> C. Proponents<br /> D. Inspectors<br /> Câu 54: In the first paragraph, the word "others” refers to _______<br /> A. products<br /> B. advocates<br /> C. advantages<br /> D. organic foods<br /> Câu 55: The "welcome development" mentioned is an increase in ________<br /> A. the amount of healthy food grown in North America<br /> B. the number of consumers in North America<br /> C. the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet<br /> D. interest in food safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet<br /> <br /> Trang 5/7 - Mã<br /> <br /> thi 357<br /> <br />
