Trang 3Read 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
Napoleon Bonaparte's ambition to control all the area around the Mediterranean Sea led him and his French soldiers to Egypt After losing a naval battle, they were forced to remain there for three years In
1799, while constructing a fort, a soldier discovered a 5 piece of stele (stone pillar bearing an inscription) known as the Rosetta stone This famous stone, which would eventually lead to the deciphering of ancient, Egyptian hieroglyphics dating to 3100 B.C., was written in three languages: hieroglyphics (picture writing), demotic (a shorthand version of hieroglyphics), and Greek Scientists 10 discovered that the characters, unlike those in English, could be written from right to left and in other directions as well
Twenty-three years, after discovery of the Rosetta stone, Jean Francois 14 Champollion, a French philologist, fluent in several languages, was able to decipher the first word - Ptolemy – name of an
Egyptian ruler This name was written inside an oval called a "cartouche." Further investigation revealed that cartouches contained names of important people of that period Champollion painstakingly continued his search 19 and was able to increase his growing list of known phonetic signs He and an Englishman, Thomas Young, worked independently of each other to unravel the deeply hidden mysteries of this strange language Young believed that sound values could be assigned to the symbols, while Champollion insisted that the pictures represented words

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 66 to 75
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 plants 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 uses 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
Trang 6cacti, have internal gums and mucilage which give them water-retaining properties Another chemical mechanism is that of the epicuticle 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 ant plant pets
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
fertilizers availability, attacked by pets, and poor storage after harvesting
