Water scarcity is fast becoming one of the major litmiting factors in world crop production. In many areas, poor argricultural practices have led to increasing desertification and the loss of formerly arable lands. Consequently, those plants and 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 machanism 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 mucilages 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 bateria ant plant pests. Reseachers 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 fertiliser availablitiy, attack by pests, and poor storage after haversting. Câu 31: This passage deals mainly with A. desertification B. decreasing water supplies C. factors limiting crop production D. developing efficient plants Câu 32: The word “arable” in line 2 is closest in meaning to A. fertile B. parched C. barren D. marsh Câu 33: Which of the following is a mechanical or physical mechanism that desert plants use?

A. much less B. most C. much D. more much Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each of the following questions. The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to flee. Natural selection has acted in a variety of ways in different species to enhance the efficacy of the behaviours, known as "flight behaviours" or escape behaviours that are used by prey in fleeing predators. Perhaps the most direct adaptation is enhanced light speed and agility. Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so we might expect only some species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy. Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic and unpredictable way. Many species, like ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a characteristic zigzag fashion. Rapid unexpected changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to track prey. In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective in the presence of predators that are faster than they are and straight light more effective against predators that are slower. One observation that supports this suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded gulls, which are normally able to escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent changes in flight direction when they spot a peregrine falcon (peregrines are adept at capturing flying birds). A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash" behaviour. Here, the alarmed prey flees for a short distance and then "freezes." Some predators are unexcited by immobile prey, and a startling flash of activity followed by immobility may confuse them. "Flash" behaviour is used in particular by frogs and orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit immobile. In some species, "flash" behaviour is enhanced by the display of bright body markings. Good examples of insects with colourful markings are the red and yellow underwing moths. At rest, both species are a cryptic brown color. When they fly, however, brightly coloured hind wings are exposed, which render the moths highly conspicuous. Similarly, some frogs and lizards have brightly coloured patches or frills that may serve a 'flash" function when they move quickly. Some species even appear to possess "flash" sounds. The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when they jump may serve to emphasize the movement. Câu 61: The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to ___________. A. encourage B. resist C. increase D. reveal Câu 62: The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement is _________. A. reliable B. fast C. constant D. unpredictable Câu 63: It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare ____________. A. is faster than most of its predators B. is capable of two kinds of flight C. is more likely to escape using straight flight D. is preyed upon by gulls and falcons Câu 64: The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of ___________. A. gazelles B. European hares C. peregrine falcons D. frogs Câu 65: It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for which of the following reasons? A. The falcons are faster than the gulls. B. The gulls want to capture the falcons. C. The falcons are unpredictable. D. The gulls depend on the falcons for protection. Câu 66: The word "alarmed" is closest in meaning to ____________. A. moving B. selected C. frightened D. exhausted Câu 67: All of the followings are mentioned as characteristics of "flash" behaviour EXCEPT ___________. A. brief conspicuous activity B. immobility C. bright body markings D. aggressive fighting Nguyễn Đức Hưng* - Marie Curie High School, HP.
