correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42. 
 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 36: The title for this passage could be _____ . 
 A. “Desert Plants” 	B. “Life Underground” 
 C. “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” 	D. “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment” 
Question 37: The word “inexorable” in the passage mostly means _____ . 
 A. relentless	B. full	C. demanding	D. essential
Question 38: 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. water is an essential part of his existence 
C. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things 
D. very few large animals are found in the desert 
Question 39: 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 40: 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 
 C. they are noisy and aggressive 	D. they are watchful and quiet 
Question 41: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means _____.

Question 42: We can infer from the passage that _____ . 
 A. living things adjust to their environment 	B. water is the basis of desert life 
 C. desert life is colorful and diverse 	D. healthy animals live longer lives 
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. 
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death·, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony. 
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000. 
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes. 
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War 11. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes. 
Question 43: The word "foresaw" in the first paragraph is nearest in meaning to __ .
A. prevailed 	B. postponed	C. prevented 	D. predicted 
Question 44: The Nobel prize was established in order to ___. 
A recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity 	B. resolve political differences 
C. honor the inventor of dynamite	D. spend money 
Question 45: In which area have Americans received the most awards? 
A Literature 	B. Peace 	C. Economics	D. Science 
Question 46: All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ___.
A. Awards vary in monetary value 
 	B. ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel's invention 
C. Politics plays an important role in selecting the winners 
D. A few individuals have won two awards 
Question 47: In the first paragraph, "worthwhile" is closest in meaning to ___ 
A. economic 	B. prestigious 	C. trivial 	D. valuable 
Question 48: It is implied that Nobel's profession was in ____ 
A. economics 	B. medicine 	C. literature 	D. science 
Question 49: The word "legacy" in the second paragraph means most nearly the same as ____ .
A. legend 	B. bequest 	C. prize 	D. debt 
Question 50: What is the main idea of this passage? 
A. Alfred Nobel became very rich when he invented dynamite.
B. Alfred Nobel created awards in six categories for contributions to humanity. 
C. Alfred Nobel left all of his money to science 
D. Alfred Nobel made a lasting contribution to humanity
