Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an essential tool for conservationists to protect endangered species and monitor ecosystems. By using machine learning algorithms, AI can analyze vast amounts of data collected from camera traps, satellites, and drones, (21) ______. AI-powered image recognition software is particularly useful in distinguishing individual animals (22) ______. This technology helps in understanding migration patterns, detecting potential threats such as poaching or habitat destruction, and even predicting environmental changes.
Recognizing the immense potential of AI, conservationists collaborate with AI developers to refine these systems further. By integrating AI-driven predictive models, they can assess the impact of climate change on biodiversity and develop effective conservation strategies. Moreover, in remote or hazardous environments where human research is challenging, AI-driven robots can take on data collection tasks without disturbing wildlife. (23) ______.
Despite its advantages, there are still challenges and limitations that need to be addressed. (24) ______. Others point out that AI systems require significant amounts of data, which may not always be available in remote regions. However, as AI continues to evolve, (25) ______.

Some critics argue that an overreliance on technology can lead to a lack of human expertise in conservation efforts
Many experts believe that AI alone is sufficient to replace all human involvement in conservation
AI technology has already solved all major challenges in wildlife protection, making human intervention unnecessary
Some researchers claim that AI's main purpose in conservation is to generate economic profit rather than protect biodiversity
However, as AI continues to evolve, (25) ______.
it is gradually being abandoned in favor of traditional conservation methods that have proven more effective

Read the following passage about news and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
Keeping up with what is happening in the world is generally seen as an essential part of being a well- informed and educated citizen. Watching, listening to or reading the news can satisfy our curiosity, make us think, help us make choices and even avoid danger. However, people are increasingly wondering if staying up to date with what is going on is good for us.
The frequency, speed and way we access news has completely changed over the past few decades. Whereas previously most newspapers were published daily and TV and radio news broadcasts were limited, now we are constantly bombarded with news from all sides, we have 24-hour news channels.
The content of news reports is almost always negative. [I] Throughout history, our survival has depended on noticing threats and avoiding danger, so the human brain is hard-wired to seek out information that is frightening or alarming. [II] It is about humans paying more attention to negative things because that kept us alive in the past and this is reflected in the news we consume. [III] In addition, because people now use smartphones to record events live, the news we see has become far more graphic and shocking. [IV]
Recent studies have shown that our news habits have disadvantages for our physical and emotional health. In one survey, over 50 percent of Americans reported that the news caused them stress and anxiety, often causing tiredness or poor sleep. Research by psychology expert Graham Davey has also proved that watching terrible or sad news on TV can worsen people's moods and make them worry more about their own lives. Exposure to this ever-increasing bad news can take a toll on our positivity and affect our health.
While it is true that staying aware and informed is not a bad thing, we should not forget that we have a choice, not only about how much news we consume, but equally importantly about the kind of news we want to see.
The word limited in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to___________.
infinite
restricted
reliable
harmonious
Where in paragraph 3 does the following sentence best fit?
There is a concept known as "negativity bias".
[I]
[II]
[III]
[IV]
Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 3?
The news focuses mostly on positive events, which helps people feel better.
Humans tend to pay more attention to negative news because it has helped us survive in the past.
News reports today are less shocking and more focused on personal stories.
The news today is about entertaining content rather than alarming or frightening events.
The word them in paragraph 4 refers to _________.
people
moods
news
lives
The phrase take a toll on in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by__________.
pay attention to
cause harm to
bring benefits to
lend support to
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the effects that news can have on humans according to recent studies?
worry
tiredness
sadness
poor sleep
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
Watching negative news regularly has no real impact on people's mental or physical health.
We can control both the amount and type of news we consume, which helps reduce its harmful effects.
The news today focuses mainly on positive stories that make people feel less stressed and more relaxed.
News consumption has decreased because many people no longer find it relevant or interesting to keep up with.
Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 5?
We should stop watching the news entirely to avoid its harmful effects.
The news should be controlled by the government to limit negative impacts.
It is important to be mindful of both how much and what kind of news we consume.
It doesn't matter what kind of news we watch as long as we stay informed.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
The rise of 24-hour news channels has led to a significant increase in news consumption.
People are generally more interested in positive news stories than negative ones.
Exposure to bad news has no noticeable impact on people's mental or physical health.
Modern technology has made it more difficult for people to avoid news altogether.
Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
People are generally unaffected by the news, and it has no significant impact on their emotional or physical well-being.
Watching the news can harm our well-being, and it's better to stop watching it altogether to protect our health.
Negative news contributes to stress and anxiety, but the problem lies in how it's presented, not the news itself.
Staying informed is important, but excessive negative news can harm our health, so we must choose carefully.
