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 from45to54

Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing the effects of extreme heat One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb the Sun’s rays

Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of maintaining a constant body

temperature Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured

in Grant’s gazelles The overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature may fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel This is an advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day

Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be

fatal for non-adapted animals The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to rehydrate at one session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water intoxication The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage

in the desert, as animals do not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing

sparse and far-flung pastures Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience in people that appetite is lost even under conditions

of moderate thirst

Question 45: 1 What is the main topic of the passage?

A Weather variations in the desert

B Adaptations of desert animals

A an animal with a low average temperature

B an animal that is not as well adapted as the camel

C a desert animal that can withstand high body temperatures

D a desert animal with a constant body temperature

Question 49: When is the internal temperature of a large desert mammal lower?

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 55to 64.

An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the

atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely Air

pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions

Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered

by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an

air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities

However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such a region,

human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have

in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide

has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level

Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm

Question 55: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The economic impact of air pollution

B What constitutes an air pollutant

C How much harm air pollutants can cause

D.The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere

Question 56: The word "adversely" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _.

A negatively B quickly C admittedly D considerably

Question 57: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _.

A water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas

B most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled

C the definition of air pollution will continue to change

D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities

Question 58:The word "These" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_.

A the various chemical reactions

B the pollutants from the developing Earth

C the compounds moved to the water

D the components in biogeochemical cycles

Question 59: For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in

controlling air pollution?

A They function as part of a purification process

B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants

C They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants

D They have existed since the Earth developed

Question 60: According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions _.

A can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants

B can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants

C will damage areas outside of the localized regions

D will react harmfully with natural pollutants

Question 61: The word "localized" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _.

A specified B circled C surrounded D encircled

Question 62: According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance

is only useful if _.

A the other substances in the area are known

B it is in a localized area

C the natural level is also known

D it can be calculated quickly

Question 63: The word "detectable" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _.

A beneficial B special C measurable D separable

Question 64:Which of the following is best supported by the passage?

A To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws

B One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws

C Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants

D Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution
