PART VI Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions
Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing the effects of extreme heat One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb the Sun's rays Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of
maintaining a constant body temperature Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert
(14)since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day
Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be fatal for non-adapted animals The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to dehydrate at one session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water intoxication
The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience in people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst
1 What is the main topic of the passage?
A Weather variations in the desert B Adaptations of desert animals C Diseased of desert animals D Human use of desert animals
2 According to the passage, why is light coloring an advantage to large desert animals? A It helps them hide from predators
B It does not absorb sunlight as much as dark colors C It helps them see their young at night
D It keeps them cool at night
3 The word "maintaining" is closest in meaning to _ A measuring B inheriting C preserving D delaying
4 The author uses of Grant's gazelle as an example of _ A an animal with a low average temperature
B an animal that is not as well adapted as the camel
C a desert animal that can withstand high body temperatures D a desert animal with a constant body temperature
5 When is the internal temperature of a large desert mammal lower? A Just before sunrise B In the middle of the day
C Just after sunset D Just after drinking
6 The word "tolerate" is closest in meaning to _ A endure B replace C compensate D reduce
7 What causes water intoxication?
A Drinking too much water very quickly B Drinking polluted water C Bacteria in water D Lack of water
8 What does the author imply about desert-adapted mammals?
(15)C They easily lose their appetites D They can travel long distances looking for food
9 Why does the author mention humans in the second paragraph?
A To show how they use camels B To contrast them to desert mammals
C To give instructions about desert survival D To show how they have adapted to desert life 10 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an adaptation of large desert animals?
A Variation in body temperatures B Eating while dehydrated C Drinking water quickly D Being active at night
PART VII Read the text below and decide which answer A, B, C or D best fits each space When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently (1)_ _ across words you not fully understand Sometimes you check the meaning in a dictionary and sometimes you (2) The strategy you adopt depends very much upon the (3) of accuracy you require and the time at your disposal
If you are the sort of person who tends to turn to the dictionary frequently, it is worth
remembering that every dictionary has its (4)_ _ Each definition is only an approximation and one builds up an accurate picture of the meaning of a word only after meeting it in a (5)_ _ of contexts
It is also important to recognize the special dangers of dictionaries that translate from English into
your native language and vice versa If you must use a dictionary, it is usually far safer to (6) an English-English dictionary
In most exams you are not permitted to use a dictionary (7) you are allowed to use one, it is very time-consuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited You are, (8) , forced to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words
When you find unknown words in an exam text, it is very easy to panic However, if you develop efficient techniques for guessing the meaning, you will (9)_ _ a number of possible problems and
help yourself to understand far more of the text than you at first thought likely
Two strategies which may help you guess the meaning of a word are: using contextual clues, both
within the sentence and outside, and making use of clues (10) from the formation of the word A put B drop C see D come
(16)8 A so B therefore C completely D so that A surpass B get over C go over D overcome 10 A derived B extracted C coming D originated D WRITING

It is a sad fact that adults laugh farly less than children, sometimes by as much as a couple of hundred times a day Just take a look at people's faces on the way to work or in the office: you'll be lucky to see a smile, let alone hear a laugh This is a shame - especially in view of the fact that scientists have proved that laughing is good at you "When you laugh" says
psychologist David Cohen, "it produces the feel-good hormones, endorphin It counters the effects of stress and enhances the immune system."
They are many reasons why we might laugh less in adult life: perhaps we are too work-obsessed, or too embarrassed to let our emotions shown Some psychologists simply believe that children have more native responses and like adults we naturally grow out of spontaneous reactions Luckily, however, it is possible to relearn the art of laughter

The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained constituents that were essential for human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents Near the end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called "the vitamin period." Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described As vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy At that point in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the basic sciences Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of vitamin deficiency symptoms Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine Reckless claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them
In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960's, vitamin therapy began to fall into disrepute Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also
became less popular It was just a decade before this that many drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature praising the virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related conditions Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were
exaggerated As is known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health-crisis conditions than when applied to long-term problems of under nutrition that lead to chronic health problems
1 What does the passage mainly discuss? A The effects of vitamins on the human body
B The history of food preferences from the nineteenth century to the present C The stages of development of clinical nutrition as a field of study
D Nutritional practices of the nineteenth century
2 It can be inferred from the passage that during the first era in the history of nutrition
A protein was recognized as an essential component of diet B vitamins were synthesized from foods
C effective techniques of weight loss were determined D certain foods were found to be harmful to good health
3 It can be inferred from the passage that medical schools began to teach concepts of nutrition in order to
A convince medical doctors to participate in research studies on nutrition
(21)C convince doctors to conduct experimental vitamin therapies on their patients D support the creation of artificial vitamins
4 The word “them” in paragraph refers to
A therapies B claims C effects D vitamins Why did vitamin therapy begin losing favor in the 1950's?
A Because the public lost interest in vitamins
B Because medical schools stopped teaching nutritional concepts C Because nutritional research was of poor quality
D Because claims for the effectiveness of vitamin therapy were seen to be exaggerated The phrase "concomitant with" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A in conjunction with B prior to C in dispute with D in regard to The word "skyrocketing" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A internationally popular B increasing rapidly
C acceptable D surprising
8 The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses
A the fourth era of nutrition history B problems associated with under nutrition C how drug companies became successful D why nutrition education lost its appeal Part Read the passage and fill in each numbered gap with ONE suitable word

III Read the passage carefully and choose the best option for each sentence
Most of us lead unhealthy lives: we spend far too much time sitting down If, in addition, we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become flabby and our systems sluggish Then the guilt feelings start : “I must go on a diet”, “ I must try to lose weight” “ I must get more fresh air and exercise”, “I must stop smoking”, “I must try to keep fit” There are some aspects of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid I’m thinking of such features of modern urban life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress But keeping fit is a way to minimize the effects of these evils
The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take some
sports While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them It is an illusion to think that you will get fit by going to watch the football match every Saturday, unless you count the effort required to fight your way through the crowds to get to the best seats
For those who not particularly enjoy competitive sports – and it is especially difficult to so if you are not good at them – there are such solitary activities as cycling, walking and swimming What often happens, though, is that you them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, apart from the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair Of course you can be very thorough about exercise, even fanatical Many sports shops now sell frightening pieces of apparatus, chest-expanders and other mysterious gadgets of shiny spring steel, which, according to the advertisements, will bring you up to an Olympic standard of fitness, provided that you follow a rigorous and regular programme of exercises Such programmes generally involve long periods of time bending these curious bits of metal into improbable shapes
It all strikes me as utterly boring and also time-consuming Somebody suggested recently that all such effort was pointless anyway because if you spend half an hour every day jogging round the local park, you will add to your life exactly the number of hours that you wasted doing the ‘jogging’ in the first place The argument is false even if the facts are correct, but there is no doubt that exercise in itself can be boring
(29)snoozing in the armchair or going dancing ( which is a good form of exercise in itself ) It has to with deep breathing , emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on
Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation Contrary to popular belief, you not have to learn a lot of strange words or become a Buddhist in order to benefit from Yoga It seems ironical, though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense, we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity – physical effort on the one hand, and relaxation on the other – which were the natural way of life of our forefathers
1 Unfitness is the result of _
A lack of fresh air and exercise B overeating, smoking and living in town
C not eating properly and not getting enough exercise D not taking part in sports
2 Pollution, noise and stress are examples of _
A causes of unfitness B bad features of living in towns C the things we must avoid if we are to stay healthy D industrial life and work
3 Our reaction to being out of condition is to _
A give up smoking and go on a diet B start a programme of keep-fit exercises C make resolutions to lead a healthier life D.take up a sport
4 A lot of people who go to the park at the weekend are _ A football players B football spectators C keep-fit enthusiasts D unfit or unhealthy You cannot really enjoy competitive sports unless you are _ A young enough to play them B very good at them C fit enough to play them D a solitary kind of person
6 The reason we don’t get much out of solitary sports such as walking is that we not _
A them often enough B have the encouragement of others C take them seriously enough D them vigorously
enough The writer does not like keep-fit programmes because he thinks _
A they take up too much time B there are much easier ways of getting fit C they are a waste of time D the apparatus is very silly
8 To be healthy we must _
A keep fit and active B keep fit and learn to relax
C be active and practise Yoga D be very careful about what we eat and drink
9 Many people believe that in order to practise Yoga _
(30)C you must learn to relax completely D you must wear special clothing 10 Our forefathers were healthy because _
