Part 2: For questions 66-75, 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 following questions.
Plants are subject to attack and infection by a remarkable variety of symbiotic species, and
have evolved a diverse array of mechanisms to frustrate potential colonists. These are classified as
either preformed or passive defense mechanisms or inducible or active systems. Passive plant defense
consists of physical and chemical barriers that prevent pathogens such as bacteria from entering the
plant or render tissues unpalatable or toxic to the invader. Plants' external surfaces, in addition to
being covered by an epidermis and a waxy cuticle, frequently have spiky hairs known as trichomes,
which either prevent insects from feeding or attract them or may even puncture and kill insect larvae.
Other trichomes are sticky and glandular and effectively trap and immobilize insects. If the physical
barriers of the plant are breached, then preformed chemicals may inhibit or kill the intruder, and plant
tissues contain a diverse array of toxic or potentially toxic substances, such as resins, tannins,
glycosides, and alkaloids, many of which are highly effective deterrents to insects that feed on plants.
The success of the Colorado beetle in infesting potatoes, for example, seems to be correlated with its
high tolerance to alkaloids that normally repel potential pests. Other possible chemical defenses, while
not directly toxic to the parasite, may inhibit some essential step in the establishment of a parasitic
relationship. For example, glycoproteins in plant cell walls may inactivate enzymes that degrade cell
walls. These enzymes are often produced by bacteria and fungi.
Although the cellular and molecular bases are fundamentally different, active plant defense
mechanisms are comparable to the immune system of vertebrate animals. Both, however, are activated
in response to an intrusion, implying that the host has some way of detecting the presence of a foreign
organism. The hypersensitive response is the most dramatic example of an inducible plant defense
reaction. Cells in the hypersensitive response undergo rapid necrosis, which means they become
diseased and die after being penetrated by a parasite; the parasite then ceases to grow and is thus
limited to one or a few cells near the entry site. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the
origins of hypersensitive resistance.
66. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How the immune system of animals and the defense mechanisms of plants differ

B. How plant defense mechanisms function
C. Theories on active plant defense mechanisms
D. The success of parasites in resisting plant defense mechanisms
67. The phrase " defense " in line 3 is closest in meaning to
A. attract
B. prolong
C. pose
D. protect
68. The word "puncture" in line 8 is closest in meaning to
A. surround
B. pinch
C. pierce
D. cover
69. The word "which" in line 13 refers to
A. barriers
B. tissues
C. substances
D. insects
7


70. Which of the following substances does the author mention as NOT necessarily being toxic to the
Colorado beetle?
A. Alkaloids
B. Glycosides
C. Resins
D. Tannins
71. Why does the author mention "glycoproteins" in line 17?
A. To illustrate how chemicals function in plant defense
B. To emphasize the importance of physical barriers in plant defense

C. To compare plant defense mechanisms to the immune system of animals
D. To introduce the discussion of active defense mechanisms in plants
72. Where in the passage dose the author describe an active plant-defense reaction?
A. Lines 1-3
B. Lines 13-15
C. Lines 19-23
D. Lines 4-6
73. The passage most probable continues with a discussion of theories on
A. the basis of passage plant defense.

response.
C. how chemicals inhibit a parasitic relationship. D. how plants produce toxic chemical.
74. This paragraph can be seen on __________.
A. tourism journal

B. astronomical journal

C. medical journal

D. sports journal

75. Which helps impede bacteria or toxic chemicals from entering the plant?
A. passive defense mechanisms

B. inducible defense mechanisms

C. active defense mechanisms

D. Plants' external surfaces

Part 3: Read the following passage and answer the questions from 76 to 85.
One Who Hopes
A
Language lovers, just like music lovers, enjoy variety. For the latter there's Mozart, The Rolling
Stones and Beyonce. For the former there's English, French, Swahili, Urdu... the list is endless. But
what about those poor overworked students who find learning difficult, confusing languages a drudge?
Wouldn't it put a smile on their faces if there were just one simple, easy-to-learn tongue that would cut
their study time by years? Well, of course, it exists. It's called Esperanto, and it's been around for more
than 120 years. Esperanto is the most widely spoken artificially constructed international language.
The name derives from Doktoro Esperanto, the pseudonym under which L. L. Zamenhof first
published his Unua Libro in 1887. The phrase itself means 'one who hopes'. Zamenhof's goal was to
create an easy and flexible language as a universal second language to promote peace and
international understanding.
B
Zamenhof, after ten years of developing his brainchild from the late 1870s to the early 1880s, had the
first Esperanto grammar published in Warsaw in July 1887. The number of speakers grew rapidly over
the next few decades, at first primarily in the Russian empire and Eastern Europe, then in Western
Europe and the Americas, China, and Japan. In the early years, speakers of Esperanto kept in contact
primarily through correspondence and periodicals, but since 1905 world congresses have been held on
five continents every year except during the two World Wars. Latest estimates for the numbers of
Esperanto speakers are around 2 million. Put in percentage terms, that's about 0.03% of the world's
population - no staggering figure, comparatively speaking. One reason is that Esperanto has no official
status in any country, but it is an optional subject on the curriculum of several state education systems.
It is widely estimated that it can be learned in anywhere between a quarter to a twentieth of the time
required for other languages.
8


C
As a constructed language, Esperanto is not genealogically related to any ethnic language. Whilst it is

described as 'a language lexically predominantly Romanic', the phonology, grammar, vocabulary, and
semantics are based on the western Indo-European languages. For those of us who are not naturally
predisposed to tucking languages under our belts, it is an easy language to learn. It has 5 vowels and
23 consonants. It has one simple way of conjugating all of its verbs. Words are often made from many
other roots, making the number of words which one must memorise much smaller. The language is
phonetic, and the rules of pronunciation are very simple, so that everyone knows how to pronounce a
written word and vice-versa, and word order follows a standard, logical pattern. Through prefixing
and suffixing, Esperanto makes it easy to identify words as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, direct
objects and so on, by means of easy-to-spot endings. All this makes for easy language learning. What's
more, several research studies demonstrate that studying Esperanto before another foreign language
speeds up and improves the learning of the other language. This is presumably because learning
subsequent foreign languages is easier than learning one's first, while the use of a grammatically
simple and culturally flexible language like Esperanto softens the blow of learning one's first foreign
language. In one study, a group of European high school students studied Esperanto for one year, then
French for three years, and ended up with a significantly better command of French than a control
group who had studied French for all four years.
D
Needless to say, the language has Its critics. Some point to the Eastern European features of the
language as being harsh and difficult to pronounce, and argue that Esperanto has an artificial feel to it,
without the flow of a natural tongue, and that by nature of its artificiality, it is impossible to become
emotionally involved with the language. Others cite its lack of cultural history, indigenous literature "no one has ever written a novel straight into Esperanto" - together with its minimal vocabulary and
its inability to express all the necessary philosophical, emotional and psychological concepts.
E
The champions of Esperanto - Esperantists - disagree. They claim that it is a language in which a great
body of world literature has appeared in translation: in poetry, novels, literary journals, and, to rebut
the accusation that it is not a 'real' language, point out that it is frequently used at international
meetings which draw hundreds and thousands of participants. Moreover, on an international scale, it is
most useful - and fair - for neutral communication. That means that communication through Esperanto
does not give advantages to the members of any particular people or culture, but provides an ethos of
equality of rights, tolerance and true internationalism.

F
Esperantists further claim that Esperanto has the potential - were it universally taught for a year or two
throughout the world - to empower ordinary people to communicate effectively worldwide on a scale
that far exceeds that which is attainable today by only the most linguistically brilliant among us. It
offers the opportunity to improve communication in business, diplomacy, scholarship and other fields
so that those who speak many different native languages will be able to participate fluently in
international conferences and chat comfortably with each other after the formal presentations are
made. Nowadays that privilege is often restricted to native speakers of English and those who have
special talents and opportunities for learning English as a foreign language.
G
What Esperanto does offer in concrete terms is the potential of saving billions of dollars which are
now being spent on translators and interpreters, billions which would be freed up to serve the purposes
of governments and organisations that spend so much of their resources to change words from one
language into the words of others. Take, for example, the enormously costly conferences, meetings
and documentation involved in the European Union parliamentary and administrative procedures - all
funded, essentially, by tax payers. And instead of the World Health Organisation, and all NGOs for
that matter, devoting enormous sums to provide interpreters and translations, they would be able to
devote those huge amounts of money to improving the health of stricken populations throughout the
world.
