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

Giraffe populations have fallen by up to 40% over the last 30 years, the International Union for Conservation of Nature says in the latest edition of its "Red List" of endangered species The gentle giants' numbers have dipped from as many as 163,000 in 1985 to just over 97,000 last year, according to the report

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

39 We can forget about the threat of poaching to giraffes because it no longer exists

40 The causes leading to the significant decline of giraffes are different from those happening to other species

41 Over a third of newly-listed plants and animals are in danger of dying out

43 The species are usually too fast for scientists to describe 44 Giraffes used to be a safe species

There are three questions in this part Listen to a talk about Artificial Intelligence and decide if the following statements are true or false

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

Generally, AI is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially

intelligent computer programs It is also related to the tasks of using computers to 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

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 36 to 40

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300 By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct

What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet

Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals Another response to the

increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed

36 What is the main topic of the passage?

A Endangered species B Problems with industrialization

C The Bengal tiger D International boycotts

37 The word “callousness” could be best replaced by which of the following?

A insensitivity B indirectness C incompetence D

independence

38 Which of the following could best replace the word “allocated”?

A organized B combined C taken D set aside 39 What does the term “international boycott” in the third paragraph refer to? A Defraying the cost of maintaining national parks

B A global increase in animal survival

C A refusal to buy animal products worldwide

D Buying and selling of animal products overseas

40 Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude?
