C READING

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

questions

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

C They easily lose their appetites D They can travel long distances looking for

food

9 Why does the author mention humans in the second paragraph?

A To show how they use camels B To contrast them to desert mammals

C To give instructions about desert survival D To show how they have adapted to desert life

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

A Variation in body temperatures B Eating while dehydrated

C Drinking water quickly D Being active at night

PART VII Read the text below and decide which answer A, B, C or D best fits each space

When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently (1)_ _ across words you do

not fully understand Sometimes you check the meaning in a dictionary and sometimes you (2) The strategy you adopt depends very much upon the (3) of accuracy you require and the time

at your disposal

If you are the sort of person who tends to turn to the dictionary frequently, it is worth

remembering that every dictionary has its (4)_ _ Each definition is only an approximation and

one builds up an accurate picture of the meaning of a word only after meeting it in a (5)_ _ of

In most exams you are not permitted to use a dictionary (7) you are allowed to use one, it

is very time-consuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited You are, (8) ,

forced to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words

When you find unknown words in an exam text, it is very easy to panic However, if you develop efficient techniques for guessing the meaning, you will (9)_ _ a number of possible problems

and

help yourself to understand far more of the text than you at first thought likely

Two strategies which may help you guess the meaning of a word are: using contextual clues,

both

within the sentence and outside, and making use of clues (10) from the formation of the word

1 A put B drop C see D come
