III- READING COMPREHENSION Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. 1.TECH NEWS Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had a huge impact on education. Here are some examples from around the world. To apply for a university or a job, secondary school students usually need to support their applications with a list of relevant qualifications and work experience. Thanks to AI, they can now effortlessly do that online. This app collects data from the learning and working experience that students upload onto the app. Then the data is sorted into sets of skills which students can use for their job or university applications. AI chatbots are being used in many schools and universities around the world. They can help keep students engaged in their learning by providing a more interactive experience. These virtual tutors can explain concepts clearly, answer specific questions, and give feedback on homework. Students can seek support from AI chatbots during and after classes so that they can understand the lessons better. They can also create groups on chatbots to share ideas about projects and activities. Schools in Hong Kong are bringing fascinating learning to the classroom through the power of virtual reality (VR). This new way of teaching helps students learn valuable skills, provides 'hands-on’ experiences when studying history or geography, and limits potential dangers of chemistry or physics experiments. Guided virtual tours transport students back in time to study the history of Hong Kong or take them to tropical forests to explore endangered species.

Unlike traditional media, digital media is transmitted as digital data, which at its simplest involves digital cables or satellites sending binary signals –– 0s and 1s –– to devices that translate them into audio, video, graphics, text, and more. Anytime you use your computer, tablet, or cellphone, opening web-based systems and apps, you’re consuming digital media. Digital media might come in the form of videos, articles, advertisements, music, podcasts, audiobooks, virtual reality, or digital art. The digital age began to unfold in the second half of the 20th century, as computer technology slowly infiltrated different industries and then moved into the public sphere. Yet analog technology remained dominant even through the 1990s. In the years that followed, newspapers, magazines, radio, and broadcast television were still the primary means of communication, with fax machines and pagers becoming most people’s first casual forays into the digital world. 5
When the internet went from a niche hobby to something common in most American homes, the digital age was fully underway. Now, most people walk around with at least one digital media device in their pocket, purse, or backpack, using digital communication at work, on their commutes, and even while out to dinner or shopping. After that, they might come home and play a video game or stream a show, interacting with digital media yet again. Before they go to sleep, they might talk to their digital home assistant, finding out the weather forecast for the following day. What is digital media? The answer is not a simple one. Defining digital media is difficult because it is rapidly evolving alongside innovations in technology and how people interact with it. As we move into the future, our day-to-day use of digital media will likely only increase, particularly as holographic and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are developed and incorporated into our daily lives.

Nike, one of the world’s largest sportswear companies, has announced that it will no longer use kangaroo leather in the production of its shoes starting 2023. The decision as a significant step towards wildlife protection, particularly in Australia, where million of kangaroo are killed every year. The use of kangaroo skin in athletic shoes has always caused a lot of anger among environment groups due to the cruel practices involves in the commercial killing of kangaroos. Many have called for a ban on the use of kangaroo leather in products, and Nike’s announcement is a step towards that goal. Nike will instead produce a new version of its popular football boots made from a new synthetic material that provides better performance. The company’s decision to replace kangaroo leather with a synthetic material is also a line with the growing trend among luxury brands to ban the use of kangaroo skin in their products. Other major brands such as Puma, Versace, and Prada have already taken similar steps. While Nike’s decision has been widely applauded, there are concerns about the impact on the commercial kangaroo industry in Australia. Its supporters believe that banning the use of kangaroo leather in products would have negative economic impacts on the industry, despite the environmental benefits. The commercial 6
killing of kangaroos is legal in Australia and kangaroo products are also considered by some to be a sustainable option, as their carbon footprint is believed to be a lot lower than that of cattle and sheep. Nike’s decision to stop using kangaroo leather in its products is a positive step towards wildlife protection. However, it is also important to consider its impact on the commercial kangaroo industry and the need for sustainable and humane management of kangaroo populations. Question 1: What is one of the main reasons why environmental groups have criticized the use of kangaroo leather in athletic shoes? A. It is more expensive than synthetic materials. B. The commercial killing of kangaroos involves cruel practices. C. Kangaroo leather has a higher carbon footprint than cattle leather. D. It negatively affects the performance of athletic shoes.

For instance, AI-powered language learning platforms like Duolingo and Rosetta Stone use natural language processing and machine instructions to provide personalised learning experiences. These platforms can adapt their learning content and pace to match your individual needs. This can help you learn at your own pace and in your own way, thereby, increasing engagement and motivation. AI-powered writing and grammar tools such as Grammarly and Hemingway can provide instant feedback and suggestions for alternative phrasing and word choices. By analysing your grammar, vocabulary, and style, these tools can help you improve your writing skills and communicate better. Similarly, you can play AI-powered educational games in history and social studies classes. Games like Civilization and Age of Empires use AI to create realistic historical simulations that can help you understand historical events and concepts in a more enjoyable and interactive way. In music and art, there are creative tools such as Amper Music and Dream. These tools use AI to create original music and art based on users' input. This can provide you with fun and imaginative ways to study these subjects. AI tools and platforms can be accessible to all students regardless of their geographical location or socio-economic status. If you do not have access to traditional educational resources, you can use your mobile device to access them free of charge.

I strongly agree with this statement, as these tools provide citizens with valuable updates and entertainment, making them an essential part of daily routines. To begin with, television is a popular form of media that entertains and uplifts people. It can positively influence emotions through its various engaging channels of content. For instance, numerous comedy shows can bring joy and motivation to viewers, while dramatic programs allow people to connect with their emotions and feel deeply engaged. Similarly, radio stations offer free access to news updates and music, making them a reliable source of information and entertainment. Many individuals, especially those who spend more time at home, find radio programs a comforting companion. In addition, newspapers play a crucial role by delivering the latest news, facts, and figures on topics like weather, politics, and economics. From morning until evening, mass media platforms influence people's lives, often becoming an unconscious yet integral part of their daily routines. In conclusion, the significance of mass media is undeniable. These communication tools are deeply embedded in modern life, contributing to individuals' well-being and shaping their daily habits. It is not biased to say that life without mass media would be hard to imagine. (Adapted from https://researchcage.com) Question 1: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a benefit of television? A. It allows viewers to engage emotionally. B. It helps viewers stay informed about politics. C. It provides entertainment that uplifts people. D. It offers a wide range of programs. Question 2: The word “them” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.

Mass media tools are no longer as influential in shaping daily habits through hot news as they were in the past. 6. Biodiversity on our planet is rapidly declining mainly due to human activities such as climate change and pollution. That is why governments and organizations 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 solution 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 factors 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 organizations respond to critical situations in the quickest way possible. Question 1: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. The causes of biodiversity loss B. The benefits and drawbacks of AI C. The rapid spread of AI in wildlife D. The application of AI in wildlife conservation Question 2: Which of the benefits of using AI in wildlife conservation is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2? A. Tracking both animals and poachers B. Counting endangered animals C. Alerting rangers to any illegal activities D. Identifying moving objects in the areas. Question 3: The word "declining" in the first paragraph is opposite in meaning to ______. A. increasing B. decreasing C. worsening D. reducing Question 4: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ______. A. changes B. natural habitats C. animals D. scientists Question 5: Which of the following is TRUE about AI in tracking environmental changes? A. AI provides information about causes of wildlife loss. B. AI identifies the places where endangered species live. C. AI improves environmental conditions. D. AI removes the factors affecting wildlife. Question 6: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Scientists could hardly detect and examine nationwide environmental changes if AI were not available. B. AI prevents scientists from recognizing and studying changes in the environment on a national scale. C. Scientists used to detect environmental changes more effectively before AI was introduced. D. With AI, it has become impossible for scientists to analyze environmental changes nationwide. IV- ARRANGEMENT (CONVERSATION) 9
