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.
Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that
an illness or accident does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen
in old people, such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or
cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of
the coat. Plants age too, but the signs are much harder to detect.
Most body plants grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood. They reach
their peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood. After that they begin to decline. Bones, for
example, gradually become lighter and more brittle. In the aged, the joints between the bones also
become rigid and more flexible. This can make moving very painful.
All the major organs of the body show signs aging. The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and
even gets smaller in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old people often have trouble
in remembering recent events.
One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the
heart. They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body. This
condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged. It may, for example,
result in heart attack.
Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at different rates. There are great
differences among people in their rate of aging. Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age. The
majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime.
Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they wear out.
Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging - believe the wearing out of the body is
controlled by a built - in biological time - clock. They are trying to discover how this clock works so that
they can slow down the process. This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive
years.
41. What is the main idea in the first paragraph?

visible.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following 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 rehydrate 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.
