Title TEST 1 - HS.docx ✅

A. d-e-c-b-a B. c-a-b-d-e C. b-a-d-c-e D. a-b-c-d-e Question 16: a. Modern approaches now combine technology with hands-on experiences, as applications guide learners while encouraging them to work with real materials and tools. b. When we learn through touch, our brains form stronger neural pathways, which is why master craftspeople have always taught through guided physical practice rather than written instructions. c. Traditional crafts face challenges because education systems prioritize academic subjects over practical skills, so communities are creating workshops where elders can demonstrate techniques directly. d. In our digital era, traditional handicrafts connect us to our heritage while developing essential motor skills, although younger generations often prefer screens to hands-on activities. e. The future of handcraft depends on recognizing that our fingers contain wisdom that cannot be digitized, and we must preserve these valuable touch-based traditions. A. b-a-d-c-e B. d-b-c-a-e C. a-d-c-b-e D. c-a-b-d-e Question 17: a. By creating this archive of human movement, researchers hope to maintain cultural diversity and provide future generations with access to this important heritage, which exists not in objects but in the living movements of human bodies. b. When travelers visit foreign countries, they may accidentally offend locals through misunderstood hand movements or body postures, which demonstrates why documenting these differences has become increasingly important for cultural understanding. c. Across different cultures, people communicate not only through words but also through gestures that carry deep cultural meanings, and these nonverbal cues often tell stories about historical traditions and social values. d. The Gesture Library project uses video recordings and motion-capture technology to preserve these movements, while anthropologists work with community elders to document the context and meaning behind each physical expression. e. Many traditional gestures are disappearing as globalization standardizes communication, and younger generations adopt international body language from movies and social media rather than learning regional expressions. A. c-b-e-d-a B. c-a-d-e-b C. c-e-a-d-b D. c-d-b-e-a Read the following passage about Data Storage Inspired by Ancient Record-Keeping 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 from 18 to 22. In the digital age, engineers are finding inspiration in ancient methods of record-keeping to develop more durable data storage systems. The concept of "Memory Stone" has been developed by scientists who aim to preserve humanity's knowledge for millennia. Ancient civilizations carved important information into stone tablets and monuments, (18)_________. That these civilizations recorded their knowledge in such
durable media, not in fragile materials, ensured the preservation of human history across millennia. Modern data storage faces significant challenges with longevity; (19)_________. The Memory Stone project combines laser etching technology with natural quartz crystals, a material that remains stable for millions of years. Data etched into these crystals at the molecular level can potentially outlast modern civilizations, similar to how ancient hieroglyphics have survived. Scientists believe that this technology represents a return to fundamentals in our approach to preservation. That we need to look backward to move forward is a fascinating paradox, (20)_________. The realization that our most sophisticated digital storage methods are less durable than stone tablets carved thousands of years ago has humbled computer scientists, forcing them to reconsider what true technological advancement means. Memory Stones (21)_________. Had researchers continued to focus solely on electronic storage, humanity might have risked losing vast amounts of data to technological obsolescence. These crystal archives could serve as time capsules for future archaeologists, providing insights into our civilization just as ancient tablets do for us today. (22)_________, establishing what knowledge deserves permanent preservation and in what format it should be encoded for maximum accessibility to future generations. Question 18: A. which have survived thousands of years and continue to provide valuable insights into past cultures B. have dominated global markets and would maintains economic stability throughout developing regions worldwide C. where transformed modern transportation and continue to enable rapid movement across continental boundaries D. transformed modern transportation and continue to enable rapid movement across continental boundaries Question 19: A. marine species adapt to warmer oceans, but many cannot survive prolonged heat B. natural habitats affected by climate change may disappear within centuries C. digital information stored on conventional drives may deteriorate within decades D. artistic traditions passed through family generations will flourish when properly supported Question 20: A. and that digital information will replaced traditional knowledge prove the inevitable march of technology B. and how sustainable practices becoming mainstream illustrates the changing values in consumer behavior C. and what modern technology rapidly evolves showing the linear progression of scientific development D. and that ancient wisdom still holds relevance demonstrates the cyclical nature of human innovation Question 21: A. that commonly emerge during economic recessions, which force businesses to reconsider their long-term strategic investment plans B. having regularly participated in international culinary competitions, showcasing traditional dishes could preserve cultural heritage across borders
