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
Trang 9of 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 “Desert Plants”
B “Life Underground”
C “Animal Life in a Desert Environment”
D “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment”
Question 37: The word “inexorable” in the passage mostly means _
A relentless B full C demanding D essential
Question 38: 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 his existence
C water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things
D very few large animals are found in the desert
Question 39: 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
Question 40: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _
A are smaller and fleeter than forest animals
B live in an accommodating environment
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
Question 41: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT _
A they sleep during the day
B they dig home underground
C they are noisy and aggressive
D they are watchful and quiet
Question 42: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means _
A wild B cunning C unmanageable D unhealthy
Question 43: the word “Them” means
A animals
B people
C water
D minutes
Question 44: 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”
Trang 10D “places where a particular type of animal or plant is normally found”
Question 45: We can infer from the passage that _
A living things adjust to their environment
B water is the basis of desert life
C desert life is colorful and diverse
D healthy animals live longer lives
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 questions from number 46 to 50
Let children learn to judge their own work A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to do without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them We do it all for him We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher Let him do it himself Let him work out, with the help
of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book Let him correct his own papers Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exam, marks Let
us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help
as school teachers if they ask for it The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry!
If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it
Question 46: What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?
A by copying what other people do
B by making mistakes and having them corrected
C by listening to explanations from skilled people
D by asking a great many questions
Question 47: What does the author think teachers do which they should not do?
A They give children correct answers
B They point out children’s mistakes to them
C They allow children to mark their own work
D They encourage children to copy from one another
Question 48: The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are
A not really important skills
B more important than other skills
C basically different from learning adult skills
D basically the same as learning other skills
Question 49: Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because children’s progress should only be estimated by
A educated persons
B the children themselves
