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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each
of the question.
 Cambridge University is considering axing compulsory written exams, allowing students
to use laptops or iPads instead, after tutors complained that students' handwriting is becoming
illegible. Academics say the move, which would bring an end to over 800 years of tradition,
has come about because students rely too heavily on laptops in lectures, and are losing the
ability to write by hand.
Dr Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer at Cambridge University, said handwriting is becoming a
''lost art'' among the current generation of students. She added, ''It's increasingly hard for our
examiners to read students' scripts. Those with illegible writing are forced to come back to
their college during the summer holidays to read their answers aloud in the presence of two
university administrators. It's extraordinarily commendable that the University is considering
reforms to its examination practices. ''
Sir Anthony Seldon, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham, said it is inevitable
that universities will move to computers as handwriting deteriorates in the coming years.
''We have to accept the reality. Handwriting has now become an optional, not a necessary, part
of education. There simply isn't the same time in the curriculum for learning elegant, beautiful
handwriting. Life is so quick now. Everybody writes as if they were a doctor writing a
prescription, '' he said. ''Handwriting is not necessary for great thought, great English, or great
intelligence. Some of our finest wordsmiths today write using laptops, and we have to fight to
preserve what is really important, such as the use of great English or great sentence structures.
''
Others, however, were not very positive about the move. Tracey Trussell, a handwriting
expert, urged Cambridge to ensure that students continue to write by hand. She said, ''It's vital
that people continue to write by hand. Writing by hand improves memory and equates to a
higher rate of comprehension and information retention. '' There is also concern that schools
could follow Cambridge's example by moving away from handwriting. Dr Jane Medwell,
Associate Professor of Education at the University of Nottingham, is concerned that
scrapping handwritten exams in universities could prompt ''downward curriculum pressure''
on primary and secondary schools to follow suit.
