Read the passage and complete tasks 19 - 20.
According to the World Health Organization, around 3.4 million people die every year from diseases caused
by inadequate water or sanitation and 99% of these deaths occur in the developing world. Last night’s Not a
Drop to Drink on the BBC followed the attempts of Gerry Mariner, a worker for the charity Water.org in his
attempts to deal with this problem. Gerry has been trying to provide clean and safe drinking water to a small
community on the edge of the Namibia desert, a region that experiences only about 14 inches (350 mm) of
rainfall a year, and one of the driest places on the planet.
Mariner has been living in the small community of Poopoolupu. His role there is to try to provide a solution
to the problem of access to drinking water. Most of the country is a desert, and the population of the region
relies on groundwater and wells for water. Before the arrival of Water.org, the women of the village were
walking seven hours a day to get water for their villages – three hours to the nearest well, and four hours
back. The way back usually takes longer because the women are carrying heavy buckets of precious water
and must not spill a drop. To make the problem worse, the wells are drying up in that region. Mariner’s job
is to dig new ones.
The documentary was beautifully shot: the surrounding desert of Namibia provides lots of opportunities for
spectacular landscape shots. However, this emphasis on the landscape made the viewers feel that the director
did not think the problems of the villagers were important. We didn’t actually see the women carrying their
heavy buckets of water, we only heard about them, while instead we saw incredible shots of shifting dunes

and blue skies. Watching it on a cold dark rainy night in the middle of February, I looked longingly at the
shots of dry sandy beaches, blue sky, and hot sun, and the villagers of Poopoolupu and their water problems
seemed unimportant. This is surely the wrong message to give the audience.
Task 19: Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F). Write T or F on the answer sheet.
(0.4pt)
1. Not a Drop to Drink is a variety show produced by BBC.
2. The journey back from the well takes longer because the women takes a longer path.

sheet. (0.4pt)

A. buckets of water B. villages C. wells D. women

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet 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.

   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: 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”
