Interpreting the feelings of other people is not always easy, as we all know, and we (56)

(57) ________ and tone of voice are obvious ways of showing our (58) ________ to something,

Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
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.
66. The title for this passage could be _____ .
A. D. esert Plants B. Life Underground
C. Animal Life in a Desert Environment D. Man‟s Life in a Desert Environment
67. The word inexorable in the passage mostly means _____ .
A. relentless B. full C. demanding D. essential
68. 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
69. 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
70. 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
