Interpreting the feelings of other people is not always easy, as we all know, and we (31) as much on what they seem to be telling us, as on the actual words they say. Facial expression and tone of voice are obvious ways of showing our reaction to something, and it may well be that we unconsciously express views that we are trying to hide. The art of being (32) lies in picking up these signals, realizing what the other person is

21. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. 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.
22. 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.
23. 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” Question 37: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT ___.

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 39: 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
26. • Question 40: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means ___. A. wild B. cunning C. unmanageable D. unhealthy • Question 41: : the word “Them” means • A. animals B. people C. water D. minutes Question 42: We can infer from the passage that ___ .

27. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. May 7, 1840, was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth century Peter Illich Tchaikovsky. The son of a mining inspector, Tchaikovsky studied music as a child and later studied composition at the St. Petersburg Conservatory.
