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 29: The title for this passage could be
A. “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment” B. “Desert Plants”
C. “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” D. “Life Underground”
Question 30: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of
desert animals EXCEPT
A. they are watchful and quiet B. they sleep during the day
C. they dig home underground D. they are noisy and aggressive
Question 31: According to the passage, creatures in the desert
A. are smaller and fleeter than forest animals
B. are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest
C. live in an accommodating environment
D. are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world
Question 32: The word “them” in paragraph 1 refers to _________.
A. animals B. minutes C. people D. water
Question 33: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means
A. wild B. unmanageable C. cunning D. unhealthy

When people hear the word “city”, they usually imagine concrete, neon signs,
and lots of air pollution. Thanks to some clever and concerned architects, this image
is starting to change. The concept of green cities aims to bring some beauty from
rural environments into urban areas. It is not only about looking better though.
Green cities are also trying to improve the efficiency of cities and raise the standard
of living for people who stay in them.
The term “green cities” refers to cities where builders take into account
several environmental factors before those cities are constructed or redesigned to
be more physically appealing than traditional cities from the past. In addition, the
mobility of citizens should be considered, so public transportation can be more
convenient and travel time to work can be reduced. Energy sources should also be
evaluated with the goal of minimizing air pollution.
When it comes to going green, the city of Barcelona is far ahead of its time.
Since 1859, its designers have consciously tried to create sustainable urban
designs. Then in 1992, the city received a well-deserved makeover before hosting
the Olympic Games. In recent years, Barcelona has upgraded its transportation
system. Visitors will find clear, color–coded trash bins throughout the city where
they can put all of their materials.
It is no secret in Portland, Oregon is one of the greenest cities in the US. Since
1903, it has been an example of what American cities can accomplish with careful
planning. Instead of filling its area with office buildings, Portland has plenty of green
space for activities. There are 119 kilometers of running, hiking, and bike trails that
allow citizens to experience the great outdoors. The city also offers residents
creative energy plans that give them the opportunity to pay a bit extra for clean
energy sources.
These are only a small sample of the green cities around the world. As more
people experience the pleasure of visiting green cities, it seems certain that the
trend of urban areas going green will continue far into the future.
