Read the following passage about endangered ecosystems and mark the
letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each
of the following questions from 23 to 30.
There are around 2,000 ecosystems in the world today. However, most ecosystems
are concentrated in the following areas: tropical forests, wetlands, coral reefs,
savannas, and polar regions. According to the UN Environment Program, one-third of
the world's ecosystems are in danger, and many face the threat of disappearing. In
fact, over 10 ecosystems have already been classified as endangered due to climate
change and human activities.
Unfortunately, when we lose an ecosystem, we also lose many species and
natural resources. For example, the tropical rainforest is home to an immense variety
of plants and animals, many of which cannot be found anywhere else. Their role in
maintaining global weather patterns is indispensable, and deforestation has already
affected regions such as the Amazon Basin.
In some areas, conservation projects are being developed to preserve
endangered ecosystems. Large-
scale reforestation efforts are being made to protect rainforests in South America and
Africa. Governments are also introducing policies aimed at reducing emissions and
protecting biodiversity. In addition, local communities are being engaged in these
initiatives, as they play a crucial role in the success of conservation efforts. By raising
awareness and providing education on sustainable practices, these communities are
empowered to contribute to the preservation of their natural surroundings. They have
the knowledge and resources necessary to implement these changes and inspire
others to take action.
Technology offers a possible solution to saving endangered
ecosystems. Various initiatives focus on satellite imaging and real-time data tracking
to monitor environmental changes. These tools can help scientists and governments
track deforestation, illegal logging, and other harmful activities in remote areas,
providing actionable insights for conservation efforts.

Read the following passage about the use of technology in education and
mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Technology has revolutionised almost every sector of society, and education is
no exception. [I] Online platforms, virtual classrooms, and AI-powered tutoring
systems have become commonplace, altering the traditional classroom model. [II]
This shift toward digital learning environments has been influenced by several factors,
including the need for flexibility, accessibility, and personalised education. [III]
Additionally, the growing reliance on technology in everyday life has further
accelerated the adoption of digital tools in education, making it a crucial part of
modern learning strategies. [IV]
There are numerous reasons why educational institutions are adopting digital
tools. For one, remote
learning offers flexibility for students with different schedules or responsibilities.
Additionally, digital platforms enable access to quality education in rural or
underserved areas where traditional schools may be scarce. On the other hand, the
demand for tech-based learning is also driven by students' expectations for
interactive, personalised experiences and the growing importance of digital literacy in
the job market. Moreover, digital tools can significantly enhance classroom
engagement by incorporating multimedia elements such as videos, simulations, and
gamified assessments, which cater to diverse learning styles and keep students
motivated.
However, the rise of edtech (educational technology) brings significant
challenges alongside its
benefits. For instance, the digital divides continue to affect low-income families who
may lack them or reliable internet access. This disparity can lead to unequal learning
outcomes. Moreover, over-reliance on screens and AI tools raises concerns about
reduced human interaction, student motivation, and data privacy. They also face
difficulties in adapting to new technologies, especially when proper guidance and
digital literacy training are not provided.
Digital transformation in education is a complex evolution, which must
be fully understood to harness its benefits without amplifying inequalities.
Through thoughtful policy-making, investment in infrastructure, and teacher training,
we can ensure that technology serves as a tool for empowerment rather than
exclusion. Furthermore, it is crucial to foster digital literacy not only among students
but also among communities, ensuring that all stakeholders, including parents and
local leaders, are equipped to support the integration of technology in education. By
doing so, we can create a more inclusive, collaborative environment that bridges the
digital divide.
Question 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?

A. Enhancing digital skills for employment B. Expanding access
in rural areas
