READING
FOR QUESTIONS 18 TO 22, READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE
QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.
Bison, symbolic animals of the Great Plains, are often
mistakenly called buffaloes. They are formidable beasts and the heaviest land
animals in North America.
Bison stand some 5 to 6.5 feet tall at the shoulder, and can
weigh over a ton. Despite their massive size, bison are quick on their feet.
When the need arises they can run at speeds up to 40 miles an hour. They sport
curved, sharp horns that may grow to be two feet long.
These large grazers feed on plains’ grasses, herbs, shrubs
and twigs. They regurgitate their food and chew it as cud before final
digestion.
An estimated 20 to 30 million bison once dominated the North
American landscape from the Appalachians to the Rockies, from the Gulf Coast to
Alaska. Habitat loss and unregulated shooting reduced the population to just
1,091 by 1889. Today, approximately 500,000 bison live across North America.
Fewer than 30,000 wild bison are in conservation herds and fewer than 5,000 are
unfenced and disease-free.
Bison are adapted to the extreme weather conditions of the
Great Plains, from summer heat to winter cold and blizzards. In winter, bison
can dig through deep snow with their heads to reach the vegetation below.
Bison often rub, roll and wallow. Wallowing creates a
saucer-like depression in the earth called a wallow. This was once a common
feature of the plains; usually these wallows are dust bowls without any
vegetation.
18. Which one of these is a unique quality of bison?
A. Heaviest animal in the whole world.
B. Running speed of up to forty miles per hour.
C. Huge in size and slow creatures.
19. According to the passage, what are the main food choices
of bison?
A. Grasses and herbs
B. Small animals
C. Grasses, herbs, twigs and shrubs
20. Presently, how many wild bison are in conservation
groups?
A. Fewer than 30,000
B. Just 1,091
C. Fewer than 5,000
21. Bison are easily adjusted to weather conditions like
__________________.
A. summer heat and winter cold

‘depression’ as used in the passage.
