The Norwegian Archaeological Expedition collected seeds and planted them in the Gothenburg Botanical Garden, and saplings from the garden were reintroduced to Easter Island in 1988. today only 31 wild flowering plants, 14 ferns, and 14 mosses are reported. Grass and small ferns dominate the barren landscape, _33_ the boggy crater lakes are thickly covered by two imported American species, the tottora reed and Polygonum acuminatum. A number of cultivated species of plants were also introduced partly from America and partly from Polynesia before the arrival of Europeans; of these the _ 34_ species was the sweet potato, which was cultivated in extensive plantation and formed the staple diet. Bottle gourds, sugarcane, bananas,
taro, yams, and two trees (i.e., the Asiatic paper mulberry and the American Triumfetta simitriloba) were of aboriginal importation, as also probably were the husk-tomato, a small variety of pineapple, and the coconut.

Although gluten has gained a bad reputation, the majority of people would struggle to explain what it actually is. The truth is that gluten is just a mixture of proteins found in the seeds of certain cereal plants, such as wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten is stored in a tissue inside the seed called endosperm, which surrounds the plant embryo and provides a dense source of energy as the plant starts to grow. In wheat, gluten is formed when the proteins glutenin and gliadin cross-link into a net-like structure that provides elasticity and viscosity. Once food reaches the stomach it must be broken down by enzymes in the process of digestion. Large proteins are broken up into chains of amino acid called peptides. Normally these peptides are easily broken down further, but the gliadin peptides in gluten are difficult to break down as they are part of a group of peptides called prolamins. Prolamins are made up of lots of glutamine and proline amino
acids, which digestive enzymes have difficulty breaking up. This means that unlike most proteins gluten digestion can leave strands of amino acids intact in the small intestine. These strands can be up to 10 amino acids long and are known as oligopeptides. For most people gliadin oligopeptides are harmless. However, a small proportion of the population will produce an immune response known as coeliac disease, a condition caused by the body’s immune system mistakenly attacking itself. Coeliac disease is caused by a reaction to gluten.

Forget what world leaders say. If you want to understand what they are really up to, look at the paintings that hang behind them at press conferences and summit meetings, or when they pause with apparent spontaneity along a corridor to answer a reporter’s question. The silent stare of a poised portrait gazing at you over the shoulder of David Cameron or Vladimir Putin is often more loaded and more deliberately orchestrated than you might think.
For example, President Obama’s recently trip to Cuba in March 2016 was considered his boldest step. His controversial agenda was to reset diplomatic relations between the two nations. However, it was a painting by a Cuban artist that _42_ the show. Among the
more awkward events on Obama’s Cuban itinerary was a meeting with a group of political dissidents, many of _43_ fear the thawing of relations between Washington and Havana will only embolden the repressive tendencies of Cuban president Raul Castro by legitim ising his regime. Enter Michel Mirabal, a contemporary Cuban artist whose sprawling painting My New Friend provided the striking backdrop to the meeting.

 

The work stretched evocatively behind Obama as he sat at a long table to discuss the concerns of the Cuban government’s detractors. It features side-by-side representations of the Cuban and US flags constructed loosely of red, white, and blue handprints _44_. As
a subliminal symbol capable of capturing, on the one hand the plight of those oppressed by the Cuban government, and on the other hand, Obama’s commitment to ending sanctions against Cuba, the painting _45_. The hasty blizzard of anonymous handprints
has the feel of street art or something illicitly constructed: a compression of innocence that recalls the clay moulds made by children in kindergarten. At the same time, the two flags. appear to be visual anagrams of each other. Each consists of the same handprints merely arranged in different combinations, as if subtly to imply that the two countries are essentially inseparable.

 

41. The italic phrase in the first paragraph means …
    A. Possible gesture
    B. Genuine reaction
    C. Innocent impromptu
    D. Seeming naturalness
    E. Questionable motivation

 

42. The sentence “Often these subtle messages are easy enough to decode.” should be …
    A. The last sentence of paragraph 1
    B. The last sentence of paragraph 2
    C. The last sentence of paragraph 3
    D. The third sentence of paragraph 3
    E. The second sentence of paragraph 3

 

43. ….

A. Was stealing
B. Had stolen
c. Has stolen
D. Steals
E. Stole

 

44. …

A. Whose

B. Which

C. Whom

D. Who
E. Those

 

45….
A. Field pressed against a neutral grey
B. Field against a pressed neutral grey
C. Against a pressed neutral grey field
D. Pressed against a neutral grey field
E. A neutral grey against pressed field
