Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer
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. 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 a limited 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 world. The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behaviour and physiology.
None could survive, like mad dogs and Englishmen, if 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 31: Which could be the most suitable title of the passage? A. Desert Plants B. Man’s Life in a
Desert Environment C. Life Underground D. Animal Life in a Desert Environment
Question 32: Which of the following is TRUE about the reason why man hardly understand why many animals
live their whole life in the desert? A. Very few large animals are found in the desert. B. Sources of flowing
water are rare in a desert. C. Water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things. D. Water is an
essential part of men’s existence.
Question 33: The word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to _____.
A. deer B. coyote C. desert country D. bobcat
Question 34: According to the passage, examples of the behaviour of desert animals do not include ______.
A. they are noisy and aggressive B. they dig home underground
C. they sleep during the day D. they are watchful and quiet
Question 35: The word “underneath” in the last paragraph mostly means ______.
A. behind B. below C. beside D. behalf
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer
The Arts and Crafts Movement in the United States was responsible for sweeping changes in attitudes
toward the decorative arts, then considered the minor or household arts. Its focus on decorative arts helped to
induce United States museums and private collectors to begin collecting furniture, glass, ceramics, metalwork,
and textiles in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The fact that artisans, who were looked on as
mechanics or skilled workers in the eighteenth century, are frequently considered artists today is directly
attributable to the Arts and Crafts Movement of the nineteenth century. The importance now placed on attractive
and harmonious home decoration can also be traced to this period, when Victorian interior arrangements were
revised to admit greater light and more freely flowing spaces.= airy
The Arts and Crafts Movement reacts against mechanized processes that threatened handcrafts and resulted
in cheapened, monotonous merchandise. Founded in the late nineteenth century by British social critics John
Ruskin and William Morris, the movement revered craft as a form of art. In a rapidly industrializing society,
most Victorians agreed that art was an essential moral ingredient in the home environment, and in many middle
and working-class homes craft was the only form of art. Ruskin and his followers criticized not only the
degradation of artisans reduced to machine operators, but also the impending loss of daily contact with
handcrafted objects, fashioned with pride, integrity, and attention to beauty.
In the United States as well as in Great Britain, reformers extolled (praise) the virtues of handcrafted
objects: simple, straightforward design; solid materials of good quality; and sound, enduring construction
techniques. These criteria were interpreted in a variety of styles, ranging from rational and geometric to romantic
or naturalistic. Whether abstract, stylized, or realistically treated, the consistent theme in virtually all Arts and
Crafts design is nature.
The Arts and Crafts Movement was much more than a particular style; it was a philosophy of domestic life.
Proponents believed that if simple design, high-quality materials, and honest construction were realized in the
home, then the occupants would enjoy moral and therapeutic effects. For both artisan and consumer, the Arts and
Crafts doctrine was seen as a magical force against the undesirable effects of industrialization.
