A BC D 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 61 to 70: 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 a limited 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 world. The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive, like mad dogs and Englishmen, if 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. 61. 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” 62. The word “tissues” in the passage mostly means________ A. “the smallest units of living matter that can exist on their own” B. “collections of cells that form the different parts of humans, animals and plants” C. “very small living things that cause infectious disease in people, animals and plants” D. “the simplest forms of life that exist in air, water, living and dead creatures and plants” 63. 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 . 64. 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 65. According to the passage, creatures in the desert________ A. run and leap faster than those in the tangled forest. B. run and leap more slowly than those in the tangled forest .

The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means_______ A. “living or growing in natural conditions, not kept in a house or on a farm” B. “able to get what one wants in a clever way, especially by tricking or cheating” C. “large and strong, difficult to control or deal with” D. “thin and weak because of lack of food and water” 68. According to the passage, one characteristic of animals living in the desert is that________ A. they are smaller and fleeter than forest animals. B. they are less healthy than animals living in other places. C. they can hunt in temperature of 150 degrees. D. they live in an accommodating environment . 69. 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” 70.

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 71 to 80. Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the abil ity to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes. It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment. One case involving very int elligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extreme ly supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better. This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence. Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they ca n be developed by them. One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining. People who want to have ver y gifted children are given the following advice: - Marry an intelligent person. - Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents. - Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard. - Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a child who wants to become an outstanding musician. 71. The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires __________. A. an expensive education B. good musical instruments C. parental support and encouragement D. wealthy and loving parents 72. The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to_________. A. other people B. other scientists C. other children D. other geniuses 73. When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that __________. A. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement B. intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability C. ability depends both on intelligence and on environment D. different twins generally have different levels of ability 74. Scientists chose twins for their study because__________. A. each twin has the same environment as his/her twin B. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing C. they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities D. they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence 75. How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? A. Their ability was realized at an early stage and then natured. B. They practice playing their instruments for many years. C. They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas. D. They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic. 76. The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow_________. A. only their interests in musical instruments B. their parent’s interests
C. their own interests D. only their interests in computer games 77. When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid__________. A. pushing their children too hard B. letting them play their own way C. permitting them to follow their own interests D. starting their education at an early age 78. The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the passage means that in order to become a genius_________. A. you need to have good health and good nourishment B. you need intelligence and you need to develop it C. you should try to move quickly and efficiently D. you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard 79. The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means_________. A. “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful” B. “helping somebody to be more intelligent co mpared to other people” C. “of high quality or an acceptable standard” D. “under the control or in the power of somebody else” 80. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ________. A. a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents B. to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development C. studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure D. educational development depends completely on economic well-being - THE END -
