Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the question.
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 eliminated 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 America 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 populations are 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 in the world. The secret of
their adjustment lies in a combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like mad dogs and
Englishmen, 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.

26. What is the topic of the passage?
A. Life undergroun
B. Desert plants
C. Animal life in a desert environment
D. Man's life in the desert
27. The author mentions all of the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT-----.
A. animals dig homes underground

C. animals are noisy and aggressive
D. animals are watchful and quiet
28. The word "they" in paragraph 3 refers to------A. the desert population B. the forest animals

B. are smaller and fleeter than forest animals

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the question.
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 eliminated 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 America 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 populations are 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 in the world. The secret of
their adjustment lies in a combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like mad dogs and
Englishmen, 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.
26. The author mentions all of the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT-----.
A. animals are watchful and quiet

B. animal sleep during the day
C. animals dig homes underground
D. animals are noisy and aggressive
27. The author states that one characteristic of animals that live in the desert is that they--------A. live in an accommodating environment
B. are smaller and fleeter than forest animals
C. can hunt in temperature of 150 degrees
D. are less healthy than animals that live in different places
28. The word "they" in paragraph 3 refers to-------.
A. the desert population
B. large animals
C. the forest animals
D. water - loving animals
29. What is the topic of the passage?
A. Animal life in a desert environment
B. Life underground
C. Man's life in the desert
D. Desert plants
