Rock carvings suggest that Stone Age people were hunting whales for food as early as 2,200 B.C Such (31) hunting is still practised today in a number of societies including the Inuit people of Greenland and North America Whaling became big (32) _ from the seventeenth century as the demand for whale bone and whale oil rose, and the humpback and sperm whales were hunted in increasing large number (33) _ just as stocks of these species began to fall, the explosive harpoon gun was invented This weapon, together with the development of steam-powered ships, enable the whaler to hunt the fast

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 36: The title for this passage could be
A Man’s Life in a Desert Environment B Life Underground
Trang 5C Desert Plants D Animal Life in a Desert Environment Question 37: Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as
A very few lager animals are found in the desert
B water is an essential part of his existence
C water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things
D sources of flowing water are rare in a desert
Question 38: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT
A many large animals B moist-skinned animals
C water-loving animals D the coyote and the bobcat
Question 39: According to the passage, creatures in the desert
A are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world
B are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest
C run and leap more slowly than those in the tangled forest
D run and leap faster than those in the tangled forest
Question 40: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means
A large and strong, difficult to control or deal with
B able to get what one wants in a clever way, especially by tricking or cheating
C living or growing in natural conditions, not kept in a house or on a farm
D thin and weak because of lack of food and water

Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur" What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business
and enter the corporateworld, they are finding obstacles Women are still excluded from most
executive suites Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, "In the 1970s
Trang 6women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the
board Now they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their own".
In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing, for example But this is changing Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software business It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering When Kurtzig founded the business, her
first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers-and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bedto hold the company's
cash After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million
of stock
Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do They still
face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and
finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard Most businesses owned
by women are still quite small But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead

A Women are better at small business than men are
B The computer is especially lucrative for women today
C Women today are opening more business of their own
D Women today are better educated than in the past, making them more attractive to the business world
