Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the question from 16 to25.

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 mans
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 America 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 are 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 in the world.
The secret of their adjustment lies in a 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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the question from 26 to35.

For many year, scientists have speculated that the cataclysmic impact of an asteroid with the earth was
responsible for the demise of the dinosaurs approximately 65 million years ago. Previous discoveries and results
have hinted that an asteroid two kilometers in diameter struck the Yucatan peninsula in Eastern Mexico. This
impact, stronger than one thousand nuclear explosions, is speculated to have cast a cloud of dust and debris
into the atmosphere, covering the entire surface of the earth and blocking out the sun and consequently
lowering the surface temperature of the earth.
With such a radical change in the earths environment, scientists believe that over 90% of all animal and plant
species were eradicated. Only after millions of years did plants and animals even begin to recover. But, the reign
of the dinosaurs had ended and the age of mammals had begun.
The crucial link that has held this theory together has been the element iridium. Iridium is not commonly found
on either the surface of the earth or inside the crust. It is more commonly found in asteroids or meteorites
throughout the solar system. Scientists have hypothesized that after the asteroid impacted the earth, an even
layer of iridium sediment settled over the global and eventually became part of its surface. The theory, of course,
has depended on the discovery of such an existing layer of iridium.
Unfortunately, scientists have never been able to offer absolute proof that this asteroid impact ever occurred.
Recently, however, a discovery may go a long way toward validating these scientists theories. In 1996, a team
of marine biologists excavated samples of rock from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Bermuda.
Found thousands of meters below the sea, these samples contain iridium similar to those found in the Yucatan
peninsula thousands of kilometers away. At first, scientists were skeptical whether the samples were from the
same time period. But sissnce carbon dating placed them to 65 million years ago, their doubts were quickly
alleviated. Since then, many of the other theories for the demise of the dinosaur have been finally laid to rest
