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 following questions from 36 to 43.
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.

B. “the simplest forms of life that exist in air, water, living and dead creatures and plants”

D. “very small living things that cause infectious disease in people, animals and plants”
Question 38: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT
A. many large animals

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer in each of the questions from 44 to 50.


The growth of cities, the construction of hundreds of new factories, and the spread of railroads in
the United States before 1850 had increased the need for better illumination. But the lighting in
American homes had improved very little over that of ancient times. Through the colonial period, homes
were lit with tallow candles or with a lamp of the kind used in ancient Rome- a dish of fish oil or other
animal or vegetable oil in which a twisted rag served as a wick. Some people used lard, but they had to
heat charcoal underneath to keep it soft and burnable. The sperm whale provided superior burning oil,
but this was expensive. In 1830 a new substance called “camphene” was patented, and it proved to be an
remained expensive, had an unpleasant odor, and also was dangerously explosive.
Between 1830 and 1850 it seemed that the only hope for cheaper illumination in the United States
was the wider use of gas. In the 1840s American gas manufacturers adopted improved British techniques
for producing illuminating gas from coal. But the expense of piping gas to the consumer remained so high
that until mid- century gas lighting was feasible only in urban areas, and only for public buildings for the
wealthy. In 1854 a Canadian doctor, Abraham Gesner, patented a process for distilling a pitch like mineral
found in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia that produced illuminating gas and an oil that he called
“kerosene” (from “keros”, the Greek word for wax, and “ene” because it resembled camphene).
Kerosene, though cheaper than camphene, had an unpleasant odor, and Gesner never made his fortune
from it. But Gesner had aroused a new hope for making illuminating oil from a product coming out of
North American mines.
Question 44 : Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason why better lighting had become
necessary by the mind- nineteenth century?
A. development of railroads

B. It was not allowed to be used in public buildings.
C. It was not widely available until mid- century. D. It had an unpleasant smell.
Question 48 : The word “resembled” in line 15 is closest in meaning to__________.
