Part 2: For questions 66-75, 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 following questions.
Plants are subject to attack and infection by a remarkable variety of symbiotic species, and have evolved a diverse array of mechanisms to frustrate potential colonists These are classified as
either preformed or passive defense mechanisms or inducible or active systems Passive plant defense
consists of physical and chemical barriers that prevent pathogens such as bacteria from entering the plant or render tissues unpalatable or toxic to the invader Plants' external surfaces, in addition to being covered by an epidermis and a waxy cuticle, frequently have spiky hairs known as trichomes,
which either prevent insects from feeding or attract them or may even puncture and kill insect larvae.
Other trichomes are sticky and glandular and effectively trap and immobilize insects If the physical barriers of the plant are breached, then preformed chemicals may inhibit or kill the intruder, and plant tissues contain a diverse array of toxic or potentially toxic substances, such as resins, tannins,
glycosides, and alkaloids, many of which are highly effective deterrents to insects that feed on plants.
The success of the Colorado beetle in infesting potatoes, for example, seems to be correlated with its high tolerance to alkaloids that normally repel potential pests Other possible chemical defenses, while not directly toxic to the parasite, may inhibit some essential step in the establishment of a parasitic relationship For example, glycoproteins in plant cell walls may inactivate enzymes that degrade cell walls These enzymes are often produced by bacteria and fungi
Although the cellular and molecular bases are fundamentally different, active plant defense mechanisms are comparable to the immune system of vertebrate animals Both, however, are activated
in response to an intrusion, implying that the host has some way of detecting the presence of a foreign organism The hypersensitive response is the most dramatic example of an inducible plant defense reaction Cells in the hypersensitive response undergo rapid necrosis, which means they become diseased and die after being penetrated by a parasite; the parasite then ceases to grow and is thus limited to one or a few cells near the entry site Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origins of hypersensitive resistance
66 What does the passage mainly discuss?
A How the immune system of animals and the defense mechanisms of plants differ
B How plant defense mechanisms function
C Theories on active plant defense mechanisms
D The success of parasites in resisting plant defense mechanisms
67 The phrase " defense " in line 3 is closest in meaning to
68 The word "puncture" in line 8 is closest in meaning to
69 The word "which" in line 13 refers to
Trang 870 Which of the following substances does the author mention as NOT necessarily being toxic to the
Colorado beetle?
71 Why does the author mention "glycoproteins" in line 17?
A To illustrate how chemicals function in plant defense
B To emphasize the importance of physical barriers in plant defense
C To compare plant defense mechanisms to the immune system of animals
D To introduce the discussion of active defense mechanisms in plants
72 Where in the passage dose the author describe an active plant-defense reaction?
A Lines 1-3 B Lines 13-15 C Lines 19-23 D Lines 4-6
73 The passage most probable continues with a discussion of theories on
A the basis of passage plant defense B the principles of the hypersensitive
response
C how chemicals inhibit a parasitic relationship D how plants produce toxic chemical.
74 This paragraph can be seen on .
A tourism journal B astronomical journal
C medical journal D sports journal
75 Which helps impede bacteria or toxic chemicals from entering the plant?
A passive defense mechanisms B inducible defense mechanisms
C active defense mechanisms D Plants' external surfaces
Part 3: Read the following passage and answer the questions from 76 to 85
One Who Hopes
A
Language lovers, just like music lovers, enjoy variety For the latter there's Mozart, The Rolling Stones and Beyonce For the former there's English, French, Swahili, Urdu the list is endless But what about those poor overworked students who find learning difficult, confusing languages a drudge? Wouldn't it put a smile on their faces if there were just one simple, easy-to-learn tongue that would cut their study time by years? Well, of course, it exists It's called Esperanto, and it's been around for more than 120 years Esperanto is the most widely spoken artificially constructed international language The name derives from Doktoro Esperanto, the pseudonym under which L L Zamenhof first
published his Unua Libro in 1887 The phrase itself means 'one who hopes' Zamenhof's goal was to create an easy and flexible language as a universal second language to promote peace and
international understanding
B
Zamenhof, after ten years of developing his brainchild from the late 1870s to the early 1880s, had the first Esperanto grammar published in Warsaw in July 1887 The number of speakers grew rapidly over the next few decades, at first primarily in the Russian empire and Eastern Europe, then in Western Europe and the Americas, China, and Japan In the early years, speakers of Esperanto kept in contact primarily through correspondence and periodicals, but since 1905 world congresses have been held on five continents every year except during the two World Wars Latest estimates for the numbers of Esperanto speakers are around 2 million Put in percentage terms, that's about 0.03% of the world's population - no staggering figure, comparatively speaking One reason is that Esperanto has no official status in any country, but it is an optional subject on the curriculum of several state education systems
It is widely estimated that it can be learned in anywhere between a quarter to a twentieth of the time required for other languages
8
Trang 9As a constructed language, Esperanto is not genealogically related to any ethnic language Whilst it is described as 'a language lexically predominantly Romanic', the phonology, grammar, vocabulary, and semantics are based on the western Indo-European languages For those of us who are not naturally predisposed to tucking languages under our belts, it is an easy language to learn It has 5 vowels and
23 consonants It has one simple way of conjugating all of its verbs Words are often made from many other roots, making the number of words which one must memorise much smaller The language is phonetic, and the rules of pronunciation are very simple, so that everyone knows how to pronounce a written word and vice-versa, and word order follows a standard, logical pattern Through prefixing and suffixing, Esperanto makes it easy to identify words as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, direct objects and so on, by means of easy-to-spot endings All this makes for easy language learning What's more, several research studies demonstrate that studying Esperanto before another foreign language speeds up and improves the learning of the other language This is presumably because learning subsequent foreign languages is easier than learning one's first, while the use of a grammatically simple and culturally flexible language like Esperanto softens the blow of learning one's first foreign language In one study, a group of European high school students studied Esperanto for one year, then French for three years, and ended up with a significantly better command of French than a control group who had studied French for all four years
D
Needless to say, the language has Its critics Some point to the Eastern European features of the language as being harsh and difficult to pronounce, and argue that Esperanto has an artificial feel to it, without the flow of a natural tongue, and that by nature of its artificiality, it is impossible to become emotionally involved with the language Others cite its lack of cultural history, indigenous literature -
"no one has ever written a novel straight into Esperanto" - together with its minimal vocabulary and its inability to express all the necessary philosophical, emotional and psychological concepts
E
The champions of Esperanto - Esperantists - disagree They claim that it is a language in which a great body of world literature has appeared in translation: in poetry, novels, literary journals, and, to rebut the accusation that it is not a 'real' language, point out that it is frequently used at international
meetings which draw hundreds and thousands of participants Moreover, on an international scale, it is most useful - and fair - for neutral communication That means that communication through Esperanto does not give advantages to the members of any particular people or culture, but provides an ethos of equality of rights, tolerance and true internationalism
F
Esperantists further claim that Esperanto has the potential - were it universally taught for a year or two throughout the world - to empower ordinary people to communicate effectively worldwide on a scale that far exceeds that which is attainable today by only the most linguistically brilliant among us It offers the opportunity to improve communication in business, diplomacy, scholarship and other fields
so that those who speak many different native languages will be able to participate fluently in
international conferences and chat comfortably with each other after the formal presentations are made Nowadays that privilege is often restricted to native speakers of English and those who have special talents and opportunities for learning English as a foreign language
G
What Esperanto does offer in concrete terms is the potential of saving billions of dollars which are now being spent on translators and interpreters, billions which would be freed up to serve the purposes
of governments and organisations that spend so much of their resources to change words from one language into the words of others Take, for example, the enormously costly conferences, meetings and documentation involved in the European Union parliamentary and administrative procedures - all funded, essentially, by tax payers And instead of the World Health Organisation, and all NGOs for that matter, devoting enormous sums to provide interpreters and translations, they would be able to devote those huge amounts of money to improving the health of stricken populations throughout the world
