 During the 19th century, women in the United States organized and participated in a large number of reform movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of alcohol, and most importantly to free slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone were feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and blacks. A number of male abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips also supported the rights of women to speak and participate equally with men in antislavery activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered women a previously denied entry into politics. They became involved primarily in order to better thefr living conditions and the conditions of others.
 When the Civil war ended in 1865, the 14th, and 15th, Amendments to the Constitution adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women. Discouraged but resolved, feminists influenced more and more women to demand the right to vote. In 1869, the Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but eastern states resisted more stubbornly than ever before. A woman's suffrage bill had been presented to every Congress since 1878 but it continually failed to pass until 1920, when the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote.

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 from 44 to 50.
 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 then 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 44: 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. very few lager animals are found in the desert
C. water is an essential part of his existence 
D. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things
Question 45: The word “tissues” in the passage mostly means...... .
A. “the simplest forms of life that exist in air, water, living and dead creatures and plants”
B. “the smallest units of living matter that can exist on their own”
C. “collections of cells that form the different parts of humans, animals and plants” 
D. “very small living things that cause infectious disease in people, animals and plants”
Question 46: According to the passage, one characteristic of animals living in the desert is that......
A. they are smaller and fleeter than forest animals 
B. they can hunt in temperature of 150 degrees
C. they live in an accommodating environment
D. they are less healthy than animals living in other places
Question 47: 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. run and leap more slowly than those in the tangled forest
D. run and leap faster than those in the tangled forest 
Question 48: The title for this passage could be.......
A. “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” 	B. “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment”
C. “Life Underground”	D. “Desert Plants”
Question 49: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behaviour of desert animals EXCEPT......
A. they sleep during the day	B. they are noisy and aggressive 
C. they dig home underground	D. they are watchful and quiet
Question 50: We can infer from the passage that.......
A. desert life is colorful and diverse	B. healthy animals live longer lives
C. water is the basis of desert life 	D. living things adjust to their environment
