Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions that follow.
During the seventeenth and eight
eenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of
women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed
United States. Lacking the right to
vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an imp
ortant force in history. Anne
Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best
contemporary
history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she
exercised great p
olitical influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little
or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history
books.
Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack
of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors
Mã đề 127 trang 3 / 3
writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their
writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources.
During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping
records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women’s organizations
compiled accounts of their doings. Perso
nal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved
and stored. These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States
one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliff College, and t
he other the Sophia Smith
Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians.

Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth Century, most
of the writing abou
t women conformed to the “great women” theory of History, just as much of mainstream
American history concentrated on “great men.” To demonstrate that women were making significant
contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders an
d wrote biographies, or else
important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as
reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative
at all of the
great of ordina
ry woman. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American
histories being published.

Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions that follow.

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 th
e 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 hav
e 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 situa
tions as inadequate water supply, limited fertilizer
availability, attack by pests, and poor storage after harvesting.

This passage deals mainly with ________
A.
factors limiting crop production desertification

Câu 42:
The word “extensive” in the 2
nd
paragraph is closest in meaning to _________
A.

Câu 43:
Which is one of the ways in which the epicuticular wax protects the plant?
