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.
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
Trang 5to 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

A decreasing water supply B desertification

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 50: The word “It” in the 2ndparagraph refers to
A the epicuticular wax layer B the loss of internal moisture
C an impervious plant like cover D another chemical mechanism
Questions 51: The word “aggression” in the 2ndparagraph is closest in meaning to _
Questions 52: What is an example of an inorganic agent that may attack plants?
Questions 53: It can be inferred that synthetic stimulate waxes
A have been determined to be impervious to organic and inorganic agents
