Read the following passage carefully and complete the sentences with the best answer.
Trang 5Since 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 best 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”

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 life 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
C are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest
D are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world
66 The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT _
Trang 6A they sleep during the day B they dig home underground
C they are noisy and aggressive D they are watchful and quiet
67 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
