Read the following passage about artificial intelligence and choose the best answer to each of the following questions (8
questions)

Humans have intelligence. That's the main thing which makes them different from other animals. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
means teaching computers to be clever in the way that people are. It's like giving them brains to understand things, make
choices and solve problems, just like humans do.

At the moment, computers are very good at remembering information and doing mathematics extremely fast. But imagine
computers in the future learning from the information which they store, not just finding it and presenting it when a
human asks for it. When computers can learn from information, they can begin to solve problems themselves rather than
needing a person to do that.

Scientists say that AI computers will soon be able to work out what is wrong with a person more accurately than a doctor.
They will also be able to predict the future from what happened in the past. This could help businesspeople to make good
decisions about making products and selling services, leading to more efficient and profitable operations.

Some people believe that AI computers will, one day, be able to talk to us like humans. We might not even be able to tell
whether we are talking to a human or a machine. Alan Turing, one of the most important people in the development of
information technology, said this would finally prove that a computer could actually think.

However, some people are already worried about the negative effects of AI. What is going to happen in the future? Will
there be a time when computers do not need humans at all? Could this result in massive job losses or even make humans
redundant in some industries? These questions continue to raise concerns as AI technology progresses.

Read the following passage about people and the environment and choose the best answer to each of the following
questions. (10 questions)

[I] You often hear people say that early humans who hunted wild animals and picked fruit looked after their environment
better than we do today. [II] Clearly, they had a strong interest in doing this, because they depended on the animals and the
fruit being there next year. [III] Scientists believe that humans followed the animals, which moved to new environments
each year, and then picked the fruit which grew in those new areas. [IV]

When early humans began to live in a single environment all year round, examples show that some groups understood
nature enough to be able to look after them. In some places, they did not plant the same crop in the same place every year,
so the land could recover. In others, they made terraces on the side of hills to stop the earth being washed away from their
crops. In North America, some groups put wood across rivers which allowed small fish to swim through, leaving the bigger
fish for them to catch and eat. In a similar way, groups which still hunted only killed older animals so that the young ones
had time to produce children and to get fatter.

However, once people moved away from a farming lifestyle, it seems they did lose respect for local environments in many
cases. In the 17th and 18th centuries, European sailors landed on islands which had never seen humans, so the
animals were not frightened of them. Instead of only killing what they needed for food, the complete population of a
species was killed in many cases. This happened with the dodo bird in Mauritius, for example, and with sea cows in Alaska.
It almost happened with many sea creatures such as the right whale, seals and giant turtles. In the 19th century, white
Americans moved across the continent and, in less than 100 years, they killed almost all of the millions of buffaloes which
 had provided food and milk for the native Americans for thousands of years.
