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 contexts.

It is also important to recognize the special dangers of dictionaries that translate from English into

your native language and vice versa. If you must use a dictionary, it is usually far safer to (6) an

English-English dictionary.

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 

2. A. look        B. guess          C. examine         D. inspect

3. A. extent        B. range          C. degree         D. level 

4. A. limitations        B. values        C. advantages     D. entry 

5. A. multiple         B. variety           C. variation         D. diversity

6. A. survey          B. consult        C. refer          D. inquire 

7. A. or else         B. Provided         C. Although       D. Even if 

8. A. so               B. therefore       C. completely          D. so that 

9. A. surpass          B. get over        C. go over          D. overcome

     It is a sad fact that adults laugh farly less than children, sometimes by as much as a couple of hundred times a day. Just take a look at people's faces on the way to work or in the office: you'll be lucky to see a smile, let alone hear a laugh. This is a shame - especially in view of the fact that scientists have proved that laughing is good at you. "When you laugh" says psychologist David Cohen, "it produces the feel-good hormones, endorphin. It counters the effects of stress and enhances the immune system."

     They are many reasons why we might laugh less in adult life: perhaps we are too work-obsessed, or too embarrassed to let our emotions shown. Some psychologists simply believe that children have more native responses and like adults we naturally grow out of spontaneous reactions. Luckily, however, it is possible to relearn the art of laughter.

SECTION D. READING

Part 1. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer by writing the corresponding letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.

     The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained constituents that were essential for human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents. Near the end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods.

     The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called "the vitamin period." Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described. As vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy. At that point in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the basic sciences. Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of vitamin deficiency symptoms. Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine. Reckless claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them.

     In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960's, vitamin therapy began to fall into disrepute. Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also became less popular. It was just a decade before this that many drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature praising the virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related conditions. Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated. As is known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health-crisis conditions than when applied to long-term problems of under nutrition that lead to chronic health problems.

1. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The effects of vitamins on the human body

B. The history of food preferences from the nineteenth century to the present

C. The stages of development of clinical nutrition as a field of study

D. Nutritional practices of the nineteenth century

2. It can be inferred from the passage that during the first era in the history of nutrition________.

A. protein was recognized as an essential component of diet

3. It can be inferred from the passage that medical schools began to teach concepts of nutrition in order to________.

A. convince medical doctors to participate in research studies on nutrition

B. encourage medical doctors to apply concepts of nutrition in the treatment of disease

C. convince doctors to conduct experimental vitamin therapies on their patients

D. support the creation of artificial vitamins

4. The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to________.

A. therapies                   B. claims                       C. effects                      D. vitamins

5. Why did vitamin therapy begin losing favor in the 1950's?

A. Because the public lost interest in vitamins.

B. Because medical schools stopped teaching nutritional concepts.

C. Because nutritional research was of poor quality.
