Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
answer to each of the questions.
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 world.
The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. Non 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 around150 degrees, but 18 inches down the
temperature is only 60 degrees.

D. the simplest forms of life that exist in air, water, living and dead creatures and plants
13) Man can hardly understand why animals live their whole life in the desert, as _______ .
sources of flowing water are rare in a desert
water is an essential part of his existence
water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
answer to each of the questions.
Continents and ocean basins represent the largest identifiable bodies on Earth. On the solid portions of
the planet, the second most prominent features are flat plains, elevated plateaus, and large mountain ranges.
In geography, the term “continent” refers to the surface of continuous landmasses that together comprise
about 29.2% of the planet’s surface. On the other hand, another definition is prevalent in the general use of
the term that deals with extensive mainlands, such as Europe or Asia, that actually represent one very large
landmass. Although all continents are bounded by water bodies or high mountain ranges, isolated mainlands,
such as Greenland and India-Pakistan areas are called subcontinents. In some circles, the distinction between

continents and large islands lies almost exclusively in the size of particular landmass.
The analysis of compression and tension in the earth’s crust has determined that continental structures
are composed of layers that underlie continental shelves. A great deal of disagreement among geologists
surrounds the issue of exactly how many layers underlie each landmass because of their distinctive mineral
and chemical composition. It is also quite possible that the ocean floor rests on the top of unknown
continents that have not yet been explored. The continental crust is believed to have been formed by means
of a chemical reaction when lighter materials separated from heavier ones, thus settling at various levels
within the crust. Assisted by the measurements of the specifics within crust formations by means of
monitoring earthquakes, geologists can speculate that a chemical split occurred to form the atmosphere, sea
water, and the crust before it solidified many centuries ago.
Although each continent has its special features, all consist of various combinations of components that
include shields, mountain belts, intracratonic basins, margins, volcanic plateaus, and blockvaulted belts. The
basic differences among continents lie in the proportion and the composition of these features relative to the
continent size. Climatic zones have a crucial effect on the weathering and formation of the surface features,
soil erosion, soil deposition, land formation, vegetation, and human activities.
Mountain belts are elongated narrow zones that have a characteristic folded sedimentary organization of
layers. They are typically produced during substantial crustal movements, which generate faulting and
mountain building. When continental margins collide, the rise of a marginal edge leads to the formation of
large mountain ranges, as explained by the plate tectonic theory. This process also accounts for the
occurrence of mountain belts in ocean basins and produces evidence for the ongoing continental plate
evolution.
