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 36 to 42. 
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 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 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. desertification	B. decreasing water supply 	C. factors limiting crop production	D. developing efficient plants

A. spongy	B. shallow	C. widespread	D. comprehensive
Question 40: 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.
Question 41: 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

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 43 to 50. 
 "The economic history of the United States", one scholar has written, "is the history of the rise and development of the capitalistic system". The colonists of the eighteenth century pushed forward what those of the seventeenth century have begun: the expansion and elaboration of an economy born in the great age of capitalist expansion.
Our excellent natural resources paved the way for the development of abundant capital to increase our growth. Capital includes the tools - such as: machines, vehicles, and buildings - that makes the outputs of labor and resources more valuable. But it also includes the funds necessary to buy those tools. If a society had to consume everything it produced just to stay alive, nothing could be put aside to increase future productions. But if a farmer can grow more corn than his family needs to eat, he can use the surplus as seed to increase the next crop, or to feed workers who build tractors. This process of capital accumulation was aided in the American economy by our cultural heritage. Saving played an important role in the European tradition. It contributed to American’s motivation to put something aside today for the tools to buy tomorrow.
The great bulk of the accumulated wealth of America, as distinguished from what was consumed, was derived either directly or indirectly from trade. Though some manufacturing existed, its role in the accumulation of capital was negligible. A merchant class of opulent proportions was already visible in the seaboard cities, its wealth as the obvious consequence of shrewd and resourceful management of the carrying trade. Even the rich planters of tidewater Virginia and the rice coast of South Carolina finally depended for their genteel way of life upon the ships and merchants who sold their tobacco and rice in the markets of Europe. As colonial production rose and trade expanded, a business community emerged in the colonies, linking the provinces by lines of trade and identity of interest.
Question 43: The word ‘it’ in the third sentence of paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. resource	B. capital	C. labour	D. growth
Question 44: According to the passage, capital includes all of the following EXCEPT ______.
A. factories	B. tractors	C. money	D. workers
Question 45: According to the passage, the emergence of a business community in the colonies was a result of ______.
A. efficient saving	B. the immigration
C. the existence of manufacturing	D. the success of production and trade
Question 46: The word ‘negligible’ in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. able to be neglected	B. very important
C. not very important	D. necessary to be neglecte
Question 47: The phrase ‘put aside’ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. hidden	B. reviewed	C. saved	D. consumed
Question 48: With what subject is this passage mainly concerned?
A. Geography	B. Economics	C.      Finance	D.     Culture
Question 49: The phrase ‘paved the way’ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. supported	B. accumulated 	C. resembled	D. paid for

A. capital	B. money	C. resource	D. labour
