The kiwi

The kiwi is a fascinating and special bird, which cannot fly, unlike most other bird species.
Native to New Zealand, it is also a(n) (26) __________ species. It is estimated that there were
once millions of kiwis in the country. However, there has been a rapid decrease in their
population with (27) __________ 70.000 left in the wild today. Historically, the decline was the
result of the birds being hunted for meat, skins, and feathers. There are still two other
threats to their survival: (28) __________ loss and predators. Deforestation has considerably
reduced areas of natural forests. Many of them have been converted into farmland or towns
(29) __________ economic purposes. This has reduced the kiwi's natural habitat and pushed
them into areas (30) __________ they are more vulnerable to predators such as dogs and wild
cats. These predators often eat kiwi eggs or attack young kiwis. That is why New Zealand
has launched a plan to save their national bird from extinction.

Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.

Traditional media such as printed newspapers and magazines has gradually declined in
popularity, and digital media is attracting more and more users, and taking on a dominant
role. Today, most people continue reading on a regular basis; however, their reading habits
have changed. Many people are reading their favourite newspapers and magazines on their
electronic devices such as computers, laptops, and smartphones. This has both benefits and
drawbacks.

Printed and digital media can both have the same content, but digital media is usually faster
and easier to access. In fact, the number of people buying a daily newspaper or magazine at
stores has decreased dramatically. With the help of the Internet, readers can now access
information that is updated instantly and receive the latest news from every corner of the
world. In addition, electronic media doesn't use paper and is considered more
environmentally friendly. Reading news online is generally free of charge, and can be done
anytime and anywhere. Many news websites provide video reports or multimedia stories,
so people can choose to hear, watch, or read news according to their preferences.

However, readers may face some problems as they read newspapers online. For example, an
Internet user may be forced to watch or read all kinds of advertisements before getting to
the piece of news he or she is interested in. Online adverts can be very distracting and
annoying, and can make readers lose interest in what they are reading. In addition, many
online publications focus much more on attracting viewers and followers rather than
providing detailed or accurate information.

Nevertheless, digital media is an incredible source of news, information and knowledge,

31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. The preservation of traditional media

C. The success of the new media

D. The future of traditional and digital media

32. According to paragraph 2, one of the benefits of using digital media is ______.

A. advanced

C. immediate

D. active

34. The word they in paragraph 3 refers to ______.

A. readers

Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

Biodiversity on our planet is rapidly declining mainly due to human activities such as
climate change and pollution. That is why governments and organisations have taken
measures to protect wildlife and stop biodiversity loss. The emergence of artificial
intelligence has dramatically changed wildlife protection. Conservationists are now turning
to AI to find solutions to the rapid loss of plants and animals.

One of the biggest threats to endangered species is poaching for commercial purposes.
Therefore, it is essential to stop this illegal activity in forests and nature reserves. However,
rangers, whose job is to take care of such large areas, find it hard to monitor wildlife and
prevent poaching. That is why many national parks are using AI cameras to track both
animals and poachers. Furthermore, the cameras can send real-time updates to rangers'
phones and alert them to any illegal activities within minutes. The cutting-edge technology
is even effective at night when poachers operate under cover of darkness. The AI cameras
are designed to automatically notice any illegal cars or boats entering forests or other
protected areas.

Another factor responsible for the decline in biodiversity is habitat loss. When natural
habitats or environmental conditions change, it's nearly impossible for scientists to identify
the changes until they discover strong evidence. For example, some countries have faced
increasing pressure from climate change and economic growth, and have lost a huge
amount of surface water. However, the situation has only been discovered with the help of
artificial intelligence. Without AI, scientists could not have identified and analysed the
changes nationwide. AI has played an important role in collecting data and analysing the
factors affecting wildlife, thus helping governments and organisations respond to critical
situations in the quickest way possible.
