Water scarcity is fast becoming one of the major limiting factors in world crop production In many areas, poor agricultural practices have led to increasing desertification and the loss of formerly arable lands Consequently, those plant species that are well adapted to survival in dry climates are being

looked at for an answer in developing more efficient crops to grow on marginally arable lands

Plants use several mechanisms to ensure their survival in desert environments Some involve purely mechanical and physical adaptations, such as the shape of the plant's surface, smaller leaf size, and

extensive root systems Some of the adaptations are related to chemical mechanisms Many plants,

such as cacti, have internal gums and mucilage which give them water-retaining properties Another chemical mechanism is that of the epicuticular wax layer This wax layer acts as an impervious cover to

protect the plant It prevents excessive loss of internal moisture It also protects the plant from external aggression, which can come from inorganic agents such as gases, or organic agents which include

bacteria and plant pests

Researchers have proposed that synthetic waxes with similar protective abilities could be prepared based on knowledge of desert plants If successfully developed, such a compound could be used to greatly increase a plant's ability to maintain health in such adverse situations as inadequate water supply, limited fertilizer availability, attack by pests, and poor storage after harvesting

Questions 35: This passage deals mainly with _

A decreasing water supply B desertification

C factors limiting crop production D developing efficient plants

Questions 36: The word “arable” in the 1st paragraph is closest in meaning to _

Questions 37: Which of the following is a mechanical or physical mechanism that desert plants use?

C The small root system D The high water system

Questions 38: The word “extensive” in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to _

Questions 39: Which is one of the ways in which the epicuticular wax protects the plant?

A It helps the plant to attack aggressors

B It guards against bacteria

C It releases gases against plant pests

D It helps the plant to avoid excessive moisture intake

Questions 40: The word “It” in the 2nd paragraph refers to _

A the epicuticular wax layer B the loss of internal moisture

C an impervious plant like cover D another chemical mechanism

Questions 41: The word “aggression” in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to _

Questions 42: What is an example of an inorganic agent that may attack plants?

Questions 43: It can be inferred that synthetic stimulate waxes _

A have been determined to be impervious to organic and inorganic agents

B have not succeeded

C have not been developed yet

D have the quality of causing bacteria

Questions 44: All of the following are examples of an adverse situation for crops EXCEPT _

A pest aggression B inadequate water C insufficient fertilize D proper storage

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 from 45 to 54

Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as "silent", the film has never been, in the full sense of the word, silent From the very beginning, music was regarded as an indispensable accompaniment; when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896, they were accompanied by piano improvisations on popular tunes

At first, the music played bore no special relationship to the films; an accompaniment of any kind was

sufficient Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of playing lively music to a solemn film

became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in matching their pieces to the mood of the film

As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist would be added

to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed For a number of years the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal qualification for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown (if, indeed, the

conductor was lucky enough to see them then), the musical arrangement was normally improvised in

the greatest hurry

To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing suggestions for musical accompaniments In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began issuing with their films such indications of mood as "pleasant', "sad", "lively" The suggestions became more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next

Certain films had music especially composed for them The most famous of these early special

scores was that composed and arranged for D W Griffith's film Birth of a Nation, which was released

in 1915

Question 45: The passage mainly discusses music that was _

A specifically composed for certain movie theaters

B performed before the showing of a film

C played during silent films

D recorded during film exhibitions

THE FASTEST DINOSAUR

According to computer models that were used to estimate the running speed of dinosaurs, the Tyrannosaurus Rex would have been able to outrun a footballer The study showed that the dinosaur could reach a top (55) _ of 8 metres a second, which is (56) _ faster than the average professional footballer There has been a lot of controversy (57) _ whether the Tyrannosaurus Rex was a predator or a scavenger; some believe that its highly developed sense of smell indicates that it was scavenger, (58) _ others say that its keen eyesight shows that it was a hunter The (59) _ group will appreciate the recent study, as a hunter is more (60) _ to require such speed

The University of Manchester study used a powerful supercomputer to calculate the running speed

of five-meat eating dinosaurs and used data taken directly from dinosaur fossils, rather than referring to previous work on modern animals The Tyrannosaurus Rex, however, was not the fastest dinosaur A small dinosaur (61) _ Compsognathus, which was about the size of a chicken, could run at 18 metres a second, (62) _ is faster than ostrich, the fastest two-legged animal today It could run 100

metres in a little over six seconds, which would (63) _ modern Olympic (64) _ more than a third of the track behind
