 Bacteria are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or 
centimeters, bacterial size is measured in microns. One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter a 
pinhead is about a millimeter across. Rod shaped bacteria are usually from two to tour microns long,

while rounded ones are generally one micron in diameter Thus if you enlarged a founded bacterium a 
thousand times, it would be just about the size of a pinhead. An adult human magnified by the same 
amount would be over a mile (1.6 kilometers) tall. 
 Even with an ordinary microscope, you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a 
magnification of 100 times, one finds that bacteria are barely visible as tiny rods or dots One cannot 
make out anything of their structure. Using special stains, one can see that some bacteria have 
attached to them wavy - looking "hairs" called flagella. Others have only one flagellum. The flagella 
rotate, pushing the bacteria though the water. Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by 
their own power while others can glide along over surfaces by some little understood mechanism. 
 From the bacterial point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans. 
To a bacterium water is as thick as molasses is to us. Bacteria are so small that they are influenced by 
the movements of the chemical molecules around them. Bacteria under the microscope, even those 
with no flagella, often bounce about in the water. This is because they collide with the water 
molecules and are pushed this way and that. Molecules move so rapidly that within a tenth of a 
second the molecules around a bacterium have all been replaced by new ones even bacteria without 
flagella are thus constantly exposed to a changing environment.

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 43 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 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.

 A. “Desert Plants” 
 B. “Life Underground” 
 C. “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” 
 D. “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment”

_____. 
 A. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert 
 B. water is an essential part of his existence

 D. very few large animals are found in the desert 
Question 45: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _____. 
 A. water-loving animals B. the coyote and the bobcat 
 C. moist-skinned animals D. many large animals 
Question 46: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _____. 
 A. are smaller and fleeter than forest animals 
 B. live in an accommodating environment 
 C. are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest 
 D. are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world 
Question 47: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals 
EXCEPT _____. 
 A. they sleep during the day B. they dig home underground
