Your answers:

The 1 (say) “never judge a book by its cover” could not be more true for

2 (speak) critic of what is taught to native and non-native speakers of

English, and has issued a 3 (declare) of war against textbooks and style

books which tell lies

Take the ridiculous and 4 (mean) rule of never ending a sentence

with a preposition The lovely - if famous – story goes, that Winston Churchill,

well-known for his numerous 5 (write) as well as for being British Prime

Minister during the Second World War, received a manuscript back from an

ignorant 6 (edit), who had told him rather rudely that he had to 7

(phrase) a sentence which ended with a preposition Churchill responded by

making the simple yet forceful 8 (state) in the margin: “This is an

impertinence up with which I will not put.” – the 9 (imply) being that not

to end a sentence with a preposition often sounds ridiculous in English, Sadly,

Allen informs us that the story is probably mere 10 (hear), and that

Churchill may have actually only written “rubbish!” in the margin

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

dehydrate 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

1 What is the main topic of the passage?

A Weather variations in the desert B Adaptations of desert animals

C Diseased of desert animals D Human use of desert animals

2 According to the passage, why is light coloring an advantage to large desert animals?

A It helps them hide from predators

B It does not absorb sunlight as much as dark colors

C It helps them see their young at night

D It keeps them cool at night

3 The word "maintaining" is closest in meaning to _

A measuring B inheriting C preserving D delaying

4 The author uses of Grant's gazelle as an example of _

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

5 When is the internal temperature of a large desert mammal lower?

A Just before sunrise B In the middle of the day

C Just after sunset D Just after drinking

6 The word "tolerate" is closest in meaning to _

A endure B replace C compensate D reduce

7 What causes water intoxication?

A Drinking too much water very quickly B Drinking polluted water

C Bacteria in water D Lack of water

8 What does the author imply about desert-adapted mammals?

A They do not need to eat much food B They can eat large quantities quickly

10 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an adaptation of large desert animals?

PART IX: Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C, or D to each of the

questions

MOBILE PHONES: Are they about to transform our lives?

We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow, yet we are

increasingly concerned that we cannot escape their electronic reach We use them to convey

our most intimate secrets, yet we worry that they are a threat to our privacy We rely on them

more than the Internet to cope with modern life, yet many of us don’t believe advertisements

saying we need more advanced services Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel

about the benefits of new third generation phones and fears over the health effects of phone

masts, a recent report claims that the long-term effects of new mobile technologies will be

entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use of them Research about

users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond being a mere

practical communication tool to become the backbone of modern social life, from love affairs to friendship to work The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers, the report says, who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity This is

partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of parents But the researchers

suggest that another reason may be that mobiles, especially text messaging is seen as a way of overcoming shyness The impact of phones, however, has been local rather than global,

supporting existing friendship and networks, rather than opening users to a new broader

community Even the language of texting in one area can be incomprehensible to anybody from another area Among the most important benefits of using mobile phones, the report claims, will

be a vastly improved mobile infrastructure, providing gains throughout the economy, and the

provision of a more sophisticated location-based services for users The report calls on

government to put more effort into the delivery of services by mobile phone, with suggestion

including public transport and traffic information and doctors’ text messages to remind patients

of appointments There are many possibilities At a recent trade fair in Sweden, a mobile

navigation product was launched When the user enters a destination, a route is automatically

downloaded to their mobile and presented by voiced, pictures and maps as they drive In future, these devices will also be able to plan around congestion and road works in real time Third

generation phones will also allow for remote monitoring of patients by doctors In Britain

scientists are developing an asthma management solution using mobiles to detect early signs

of an attack Mobile phones can be used in education A group of teachers in Britain use third

generation phones to provide fast internet service to children who live beyond the reach of

terrestrial broadband services and can have no access to online information ‘As the new

generation of mobile technologies takes off, the social potential of the vastly increase,’ the

report argues
