Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your

answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following
questions
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.
Question 34. Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole
life in the desert, as_____ .
A. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things
B. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert
C. water is an essential part of his existence
D. very few large animals are found in the desert

A. minutes B. animals C. people D. water
Question 36.The title for this passage could be _____
A. "Animal Life in a Desert Environment"
B. "Man's Life in a Desert Environment"
C."Desert Plants"
D. "Life Underground"
Question 37. According to the passage, creatures in the desert _____.
A. are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest
B. are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world
C. are smaller and fleeter than forest animals
D. live in an accommodating environment

following EXCEPT _____.
