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 1 to 8
During the 19th century, women in the U. S organized and participated in a large number of reform
movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of
alcohol, and most importantly to free slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of women
and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone were feminists and abolitionists who
supported the rights of both women and blacks. A number of male abolitionists, including William Lloyd
Garrison and Wendell Phillips also supported the rights of women to speak and participate equally with
men in anti- slavery activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered women a
previously denied entry into politics. They became involved primarily in order to better their living
conditions and the conditions of others.
When the Civil war ended in 1865, the 14th, and 15th, Amendments to the Constitution adopted in
1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women. Discouraged but resolved,
feminists influenced more and more women to demand the right to vote. In 1869, the Wyoming Territory
had yielded to demands by feminists, but eastern states resisted more stubbornly than ever before. A
woman's suffrage bill had been presented to every Congress since 1878 but it continually failed to pass
until 1920, when the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote.

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 1 – 7
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 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
word. The secret of their adjustment lies in the 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.
Question 1: The title for this passage could be _____.
A. “Animal Life in a Desert Environment”

B. “Desert Plants”

C. “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment”

D. “Life Underground”

C. “collections of cells that form the different parts of humans, animals and plants”
D. “very small living things that cause infectious disease in people, animals and plants”

________.
A. water is an essential part of his existence
