Directions (20-25: )You have a passage with 5 questions following. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. The desert floras shame us with their cheerful adaptations to the seasonal limitations. Their whole duty is to flower and fruit, and they do it hardly or with tropical luxuriance, as the rain admits. It is recorded in the report of the Death Valley expedition that after a year of abundant rains, on the Colorado desert as found a specimen of Amaranths ten feet high. A year later the same species in the same place matured in the drought at four inches. Seldom does the desert herb attain the full stature of the type. Extreme aridity and extreme altitude have the same dwarfing effect, so that we find in the high Sierras and in Death Valley related species in miniature that reach a comely growth in mean temperatures. Very fertile are the desert plants in expedients to prevent evaporation, turning their foliage edge-wise toward the sun, growing silky hairs, exuding thick gum. The wind, which has a long sweep, harries and helps them. It rolls up dunes about the stocky stems, encompassing and protective, and above the dunes, which may be, as with the mesquite, three times as high as a man, the blossoming twigs flourish and bear fruit.
Q21. What stops the desert floras from performing their duty well?
the people who pluck them
the desert sand
the desert animals
the rain
Q22. What lesson do the desert floras have to teach us?
how to grow with grace
how to live a long time
how to adapt to limitations
how to grow in dry places
Q23. The desert plants face the danger of ______ from extreme aridity and extreme altitude.
early death
painful growth
dwarfism
loss of reproduction
Q24. How does the wind help the desert floras to grow?
by blowing the heat away
by blowing the clouds away
by blowing gently
by rolling up protective sand dunes
25. The mesquite is a ______.
