Read the following texts, and then answer the questions that follow
1-In many ways, human life on this planet is better than it’s ever been. In many countries across the world, crime has been dropping steadily. This may be due to better education, or perhaps to a reduction in extreme poverty. In 2018, the proportion of the world’s population living in extreme poverty fell to around 10%. With luck, no one will be living in this way within a few decades. Technology is also making our lives easier and safer, and this trend is bound to continue. For example, driving is sure to become safer. Human error is the key reason for most car accidents, and well-programmed driverless cars may save huge numbers of lives. Such cars are already a reality and are going to become more common in the next few years. And finally, life expectancy is already higher than it’s ever been and as a result of better medicine, people are likely to live until the age of 100.
-One of the following is the chief reason for most car accidents.
- technology
- human error
- extreme poverty
- .
-People are likely to live until the age of 100 because of _______
- the advance of technology
- the decrease in life expectancy
- the improvement of medicine
- .
2- We may have seen some improvement in poverty and crime in recent decades, but why assume that this pattern will continue? I’d argue that for most people life is actually unlikely to get better. Advances in robotics and artificial intelligence will not only reduce the number of unskilled jobs available, but will also eliminate semi-skilled jobs which can be done by a computer. By 2050, young people will have been trying, and failing, to get a job for most of their ‘working’ lives! In 30 years’ time, a few lucky people will be rich and the rest of us will be poor. Within 20 years, we will have stopped fighting over oil – we’ll be fighting over water instead, as global warming is certain to lead to more water shortages.
-What does the word dystopia mean?
- an imaginary place where life is extremely difficult
- an imaginary place where life is extremely easy
- an imaginary place where life is extremely comfortable
- .
-One of the following is not considered a consequence of advances in robotics and artificial intelligence.
- reduce the number of unskilled jobs
- eliminate semi-skilled jobs
- global warming
- .
3- It’s no accident that the symbol of the World Wide Fund for Nature is a giant panda. These animals are cute or beautiful, or both, and of course we all want to save them. This popularity enables organisations such as the WWF to raise money to support a range of critically endangered species. However, less well-known or ‘exciting’ creatures are far more likely to become extinct because they don’t get enough attention from researchers. Invertebrates make up over 90% of all the creatures on Earth, but get only a tiny percentage of the money available to protect our wildlife.
-What does the underlined word mean?
- animals without a backbone
- animals without fins
- animals that wake up and active at night
- .
4- The threat faced by the pangolin, however, is far from accidental. They are more often targeted by poachers than any other animal in the world. Unique among mammals, it is covered in scales, like a reptile. They may not look very cuddly or cute, but these scales are highly prised in traditional Chinese medicine, which has caused the population of pangolins in China to fall by around 90% since the 1960s. Their scales protect them from their natural predators, but it’s simple for a poacher to just pick them up.
-Find a word in the above text which means 'someone who illegally catches animals.'
- pangolin
- poacher
- predetor
- .
5- The idiom ‘as blind as a bat’ is often used to describe someone who can’t find something that’s right in front of them. However, even a thorough search is unlikely to reveal a truly blind bat because in fact, all species in the bat family have eyes and are capable of sight. About 70% of the nocturnal animals use something called echolocation to navigate, but that doesn’t mean they can’t see. The remaining 30%, mainly the larger species, can see well at night. Another bat myth is that they love human hair. While they are known to occasionally dive towards people at high speed, scientific evidence shows that they are actually hunting insects and are not irresistibly attracted to your beautiful long hair!
-Find a word in the above text which means 'awake and active at night'.
- nocturnal
- dive
- echolocation
- .
- What does the underlined word 'they' refer to?
- species
- animals
- nocturnal animals
- .
