Question 7 (20 points). Read the passage below and choose the correct answer for each question. Write
it in ‘Your answers’ part.
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 wel adapted to survival in dry climates are being looked at for an
answer in developing more efficient crops to grow on marginal y 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, smal er 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 successful y 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.
1. This passage deals mainly with ____. A. desertification B. decreasing water supply
C. factors limiting crop production D. developing efficient plants
2. The word “arable” in the 1st paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. fertile B. parched C. barren D. marsh
3. Which of the fol owing is a mechanical or physical mechanism that desert plants use? A. The plant’s shape B. The smal root system C. The vast leaf size D. The high water system
4. The word “extensive” in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to _________. A. spongy B. shal ow C. widespread D. comprehensive
5. Which is one of the ways in which the epicuticular wax protects the plant?
A. It helps the plant to avoid excessive moisture intake
B. It helps the plant to attack aggressors.
C. It releases gases against plant pests. D. It guards against bacteria.
6. The word “It” in the 2nd paragraph refers to________. A. another chemical mechanism B. the epicuticular wax layer
C. an impervious plant like cover
D. the loss of internal moisture
7. The word “aggression” in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to_________. A. attack B. agitation C. conditions D. surroundings
8. What is an example of an inorganic agent that may attack plants? A. Bacteria B. Insects C. Gas D. Pests
9. It can be inferred that synthetic stimulate waxes_____.
A. have not been developed yet B. have not succeeded
C. have been determined to be impervious to organic and inorganic agents
D. have the quality of causing bacteria
10. Al of the fol owing are examples of an adverse situation for crops EXCEPT________. A. inadequate water B. insufficient fertilize C. pest aggression D. proper storage Your answers: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
