read the
following
passage carefully
andchoose the
correct answer
from the given
alternatives A-D,
and blackenthe
letter of your
choice on the
separate answer
sheet provided.
Cheetahs are built
for speed. Their
bodies are
muscular and
streamlined.
Theyhave long
legs and backs
that let them take
big steps. They
have long tails
tohelp them keep
their balance and
steer at high
speeds. They have
large heartsand
lungs that help
them
breathe easily
during fast runs.
In addition,
theirridges on the
bottoms of their
paws that provide
traction much like
the ridges onsnow
boots that keep
them from
slipping.Although
cheetahs can
reach their top
speeds in two or
three seconds,
they can’tkeep it
up for long.
Cheetahs can’t
sweat to cool
themselves down,
unlike people.If a
cheetah doesn’t
catch its prey after
it runs about
1,000 feet (300
meters) thelength
of three soccer
fields, it has to
give up
. Otherwise its
body could get
sohot that the
cheetah might
die.Cheetahs hunt
over very large
areas. A female
cheetah might
cover an area
asbig as 300
square miles (800
squares km) in
search of food.
Male
cheetahs huntover
smaller areas but
they fight hard to
keep other
cheetah out of
their
territory
. Cheetahs hunt
gazelles, impalas,
hares, and young
wild
beasts.Sometimes,
males cooperate
with other males
to prey on
even bigger
animals,such as
zebras.Sometimes
cheetahs are the
victims of
theft. Lions or
hyenas may bully
acheetah and steel
its
 fresh skill. For
this reason,
cheetahs
hunt
during the
daywhen lions
and hyenas like to
nap.Cheetahs live
in dry places,
such
as grasslands.
They can go
a long time
withoutwater.
They get much of
the water they
need from the
prey they
kill. Cheetahslike
places where they
can see for a long
distance so they
can find more
prey.Cheetahs
also need bushes
and shrubs to hide
behind when they
hunt.Mother
cheetahs give
birth to four from
eight cubs
(children
of cheetahs) at
atime. The cubs
are blind
and helpless.
They
stay
hidden
 in their den for
abouteight weeks
while their mother
hunts.
