It is very difficult to succeed in the music business; nine out of ten bands that release a first record fail to
produce a second. Surviving in the music industry requires luck and patience, but most of al it requires
an intricate knowledge of how a record company functions. The process begins when a representative
of a company’s Artist and Repertoire (A &R) department visits bars and nightclubs, scouting for young,
talented bands. After the representative identifies a promising band, he or she wil work to negotiate a
contract with that band. The signing of this recording contract is a slow process. A company wil spend a
long time investigating the band itself as wel as current trends in popular music. During this period, it is
important that a band reciprocate with an investigation of its own, learning as much as possible about
the record company and making personal connections within the different departments that wil handle
their recordings. Once a band has signed the contract and finished recording an album, the Publicity and
Promotions department takes over. This department decides whether or not to mass produce and
market the band’s album. Most bands fail to make personal contacts in this second department, thus
losing their voice in the important final process of producing and marketing their album. This loss of nice
often contributes to the band’s failure as a recording group.

correct answer to each of the questions from 4 4 to 50.
Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of al 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, fil ed 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
world. 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 sunbaked desert averages around 150
degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees.

A. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert
B. water is an essential part of his existence

D. very few lager animals are found in the desert
Question 47. The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _______. A. water-loving animals B. the coyote an d the bobcat C. moist-skinned animals D. many large animals
