Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti noodles Its almost leafless, thread–like stems hang down atop other plants that dodder needs
to stay alive Dodder does not produce its own food Instead, it steals it from other plants It feeds by
sucking juices from the plant it is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it Dodder can find other plants by their smell When a dodder seedling starts growing, it follows the scent of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops
Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato odor––if a tomato happens to be growing nearby
However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly If it cannot catch a whiff of a potential host
within a few days, it will dry up and disappear—even if there is plenty of water around Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster At that point, the dodder plant will drop its root
Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers When it does get out of hand,
dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely Before sowing their
produce, farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have intermingled with their crop seeds This is a good way to stop dodder plants from sneaking their way into a crop field
Question 44: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. A new variety of farm crop B. Plants that are harmful to humans
C. The special abilities of a dangerous plant D. Recent improvements in farming methods
Question 45: Why does the author mention spaghetti?
A. To analyze the content of some food
B. To describe the shape of a dodder plant
C. To explain where the dodder plant came from
D. To argue that dodder plants can be used to make food

A. eat the seeds B. notice the smell C. find the location D. determine the size
