Read the following passage about [climate change] and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 1 to 5.
[I] Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, affecting ecosystems, biodiversity, and
human communities across the globe. [Climate change is a big problem affecting nature and people
worldwide.] [II] Scientists warn that unless greenhouse gas emissions are significantly reduced, the Earth's
climate may experience irreversible damage. [Scientists say we must cut greenhouse gases to avoid
permanent damage.] [III] The consequences of climate change are widespread, impacting weather patterns,
agricultural productivity, and health conditions worldwide. [Climate change causes many problems, like
changing weather, less food, and health issues.] [IV]
One of the primary causes of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, which
releases large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere. [Burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and
gas releases a lot of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the air.] This gas traps heat, leading to a rise in global
temperatures, a phenomenon known as global warming. [This gas traps heat and makes the Earth warmer,
known as global warming.] Another major contributor is deforestation, as trees play a critical role in
absorbing CO₂. [Cutting down trees also adds CO₂ because trees absorb this gas.] When forests are
destroyed, that CO₂ is released, adding to the atmosphere's greenhouse effect. [When forests are destroyed,
the CO₂ is released, worsening the greenhouse effect.]
The impacts of climate change are already evident in various forms. [The effects of climate change can
already be seen in many ways.] Rising sea levels are causing coastal erosion and increasing the frequency of
flooding, which endangers millions living in low-lying areas. [Higher sea levels are causing coastal areas to
erode and flooding to happen more often, putting millions of people in danger in low-lying regions.]
Additionally, extreme weather events like hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves are becoming more common
and severe. [Furthermore, severe weather events like storms, dry spells, and heatwaves are happening more
frequently and intensely.] These events not only damage infrastructure but also pose serious risks to human
health and food security. [These events not only destroy buildings and infrastructure but also create serious
threats to people's health and access to food.]
Addressing climate change requires a collaborative, global response. [Tackling climate change needs
teamwork on a global level.] Many governments have joined international agreements, like the Paris
Agreement, aiming to limit global temperature rise and reduce emissions. [Many countries have signed
international deals, like the Paris Agreement, to slow temperature increases and cut emissions.] However, it is
crucial for individuals and businesses to also play a part by reducing their carbon footprint through actions
such as conserving energy, reducing waste, and supporting renewable energy sources. [But it’s also
important for people and companies to help by lowering their carbon impact through actions like saving
energy, reducing waste, and using renewable energy sources.]

Read the following passage about [wildlife conservation] and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 6 to 10.
Wildlife conservation is a crucial endeavor that aims to protect animal species and their habitats. [Protecting
animals and their homes is a key goal of wildlife conservation.] This effort is essential for maintaining
biodiversity and ensuring the health of our ecosystems. [This work is important to keep nature diverse and
ecosystems healthy.] Human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change are some of the
primary threats to wildlife. [Activities like cutting down forests, pollution, and climate change are major
dangers to wildlife.] Conservation initiatives strive to mitigate these impacts through various strategies.
[Conservation efforts aim to reduce these problems using different methods.]
One significant aspect of wildlife conservation is the establishment of protected areas. [A key part of wildlife
conservation is creating protected areas.] National parks, wildlife reserves, and marine protected areas are
created to provide safe havens for endangered species. [National parks, wildlife reserves, and marine areas
are made to give endangered animals safe places to live.] These areas not only protect wildlife but also offer
opportunities for scientific research and eco-tourism, which can benefit local economies. [These areas not
only protect animals but also support research and eco-tourism, helping local economies grow.]
Another important approach is the reintroduction of species into their natural habitats. [Another key strategy
is releasing species back into their original environments.] This method has been successful in bringing
several species back from the brink of extinction. [This method has successfully saved many species from
near extinction.] Conservationists carefully monitor and support these reintroduced populations to ensure
their survival. [Conservationists closely watch and help these animals to make sure they survive.]
Education and awareness campaigns play a pivotal role in wildlife conservation as well. [Education and
awareness programs are very important for wildlife conservation.] By educating the public about the
importance of biodiversity and the threats facing wildlife, these campaigns foster a sense of responsibility
and encourage community involvement in conservation efforts. [By teaching people about the value of
biodiversity and the dangers to wildlife, these programs create a sense of responsibility and encourage
communities to help with conservation.]
Technological advancements are also aiding conservation efforts. [New technology is helping with wildlife
conservation.] Innovations such as satellite tracking, DNA analysis, and drone surveillance help researchers
gather critical data and monitor wildlife populations more effectively. [Tools like satellite tracking, DNA
testing, and drones allow researchers to collect important information and observe animal populations
better.] These tools enable more informed decision-making and efficient conservation strategies. [These
technologies support smarter decisions and more effective conservation plans.]
