PASSAGE 1
Read the following passage and choose the best option to complete the blank or answer the
question.
Since water is the basis of life, composing the greatest 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 is 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 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 in the world.
The secret of their adjustment lies in a 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.

Even before the turn of the century, movies began to develop in two major directions: the
realistic and the formalistic. Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute, terms.
When used to suggest a tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in the end
they are just labels. Few films are exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist.
There is also an important difference realism and reality, although this distinction is often
forgotten. Realism is a particular type, whereas physical reality is the source of all the raw materials
of film, both realistic and formalistic. Virtually, all movie directors go to the photographable world for
their subject matter, but what they do with this material- how they shape and manipulate it-
determines their stylistic emphasis.
Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with a
minimum of distortion. In photographing objects and events, the filmmaker tries to suggest the
We rarely notice the style in a realistic movie; the artist tends to be self-effacing. Some
filmmakers are more concerned with what is being shown than how it is manipulated. The camera is
used conservatively. It is essentially a recording mechanism that produces the surface of tangible
objects with as little commentary as possible. A high premium is placed on simplicity, spontaneity,
and directness. This is not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its best the
realistic cinema specializes in art that conceals art.
2. With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?
A. Realism and formalism are outdated terms.
3. The phrase "this distinction" in the first paragraph refers to the difference between
A. formalists and realists B. realism and reality

objective mirror of the actual world. Formalists, on the other hand, make no such pretense.
