Read the passage about the Red List and decide if the following statements are true or false by ticking the correct box.
Africa's wild giraffe population has plunged dramatically and the world's tallest animals are in the process of a "silent extinction", a conservation group has reported
(5)The steep decline was one of the headline statistics from the report, and is driven by some familiar factors including habitat loss, civil unrest and unforgettably, illegal hunting Elsewhere, of the 742 newly recognized bird species in the list, 11% are considered threatened ‒ and 13 already listed as "extinct"
"Many species are slipping away before we can even describe them," IUCN Director General Inger Andersen said in response to the report's publication "This IUCN Red List update shows that the scale of the global extinction crisis may be even greater than we thought."
Among bird species under threat is the African grey parrot, a popular pet, which is now classed as "Endangered" on the list because of "unsustainable trapping and habitat loss."
Across animals, birds, insects, aquatic life and plants, the list now includes 85,604 species, of which 24,307 are threatened with extinction
The plunge in the number of wild giraffe prompted the group to move the animals from the "least concern" rating to "vulnerable", in the report
"Whilst giraffes are commonly seen on safari, in the media and in zoos, people ‒ including conservationists ‒ are unaware that these majestic animals are undergoing a silent
extinction," IUCN co-Chairman Julian Fennessy, was quoted as saying
"With a decline of almost 40% in the last three decades alone, the world's tallest animal is under severe pressure in some of its core ranges across East, Central and West Africa As one of the world's most iconic animals, it is timely that we take risks for the giraffe before it is too late."
Of nine subspecies of giraffe, five are declining in numbers, while three have increasing populations and one is stable
True False
39 We can forget about the threat of poaching to giraffes because it no longer exists
(6)happening to other species
41 Over a third of newly-listed plants and animals are in danger of dying out
42 Once-popular grey parrot is in danger of extinction resulting from continuous catching
43 The species are usually too fast for scientists to describe
44 Giraffes used to be a safe species

Task

You can listen to the recording twice.
Now you have thirty seconds to look through the questions.
Good morning, everybody! Today, I am going to tell you something about Artificial Intelligence which is usually called by its short form AI
(12)understand human intelligence Sometimes but not always or even usually, it is about simulating human intelligence
After World War II, a number of people started to work on intelligent machines The English mathematician Alan Turing may have been the first to decide that AI was best researched by programming computers rather than by building machines By the late 1950s, there were many researchers on AI, and most of them were basing their work on programming computers
The first and most popular branch is logical AI This program is represented by sentences of some mathematical logical language It decides what to by inferring that certain actions are appropriate for achieving its goals Articles proposing this were MC159, MC187 and MC96 to name just a few
Planning programs is the second branch They start with general facts about the world, especially facts about the effects of actions, facts about the situation and strategies for achieving the goal
Genetic programming is the third most popular branch, referring to a technique for getting programs to solve a task by mating random programs and selecting fittest in millions of generations
