The Sahara Desert is the world's largest hot desert. The Sahara is in North Africa and is as
large as the United States. Many people think that an area like this has no animals or plant life, but
they are incorrect. In fact, the Sahara Desert has many different 'ecoregions’. Each ecoregion has
different plants and animals living there. The biggest ecoregion is called the 'Sahara Desert
ecoregion.' In this area, the climate is extremely dry and extremely hot. The landscape is sandy and
dusty with many high dunes. Because the Sahara Desert ecoregion is so hot and dry, there are very
few plants and animals. Scientists estimate that there are only 500 species of plants. This is not very
much when thinking of how enormous the region is. These plants include acacia trees, palms, spiny
shrubs, and grasses. The Sahara is also home to 70 species of mammals. Twenty of these are large
mammals. There are about 90 species of birds and around 100 reptiles.
The biggest threat to plants and animals in this environment is drying up. Because of this,
plants have the ability to recover their health after their leaves have dried out completely. Animals
can lose 30-60% of their body mass and still survive. Most animals do not get their water from
drinking like other ecosystems. Instead, they have adapted to get their water through metabolic
processes. This is why they can survive in a place like the Sahara Desert ecosystem.

A. Location of the Sahara Desert. B. Hot weather of the Sahara Desert.
C. How animals survive on this Desert. D. The Sahara Desert and its

A. there are about five hundred types of plants
B. seventy species of mammals can be found there
C. it is home to about ninety species of birds
D. Fewer than 100 reptiles are found there
Question 29. Why can animals and plants survive in the Sahara Desert?
A. They try to reduce the water intake.
B. They get water from the irrigation system.
C. They get water through metabolic process.
D. They don't really need water for a long time
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 30 to 36.
Diseases are a natural part of life on Earth. If there were no diseases, the population would
grow too quickly and there would not be enough food or other resources. So in a way, diseases are
nature's way of keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large
numbers of people. For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing
over 25 million people in only six months. Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called
pandemics.
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight.
In 1918, a new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so
it spread very quickly and killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different
pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have a few things in common.
First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, while
they may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of this
would be the Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is
deadly. About 70-80% of all the people who get the Marburg virus die from the disease. However,
the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting
the disease. This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread to a large number of
people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its
victims, so it had more time to spread.
While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less
common. Doctors carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For
example, in 2002 and 2003, doctors carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may have
prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic.
