c. One successful wildlife conservation project is the recovery of the gray wolf population in Yellowstone National Park, which began in 1995. d. After reintroducing 41 wolves into the park, their numbers grew to around 100 by the early 2000s, and they helped balance the ecosystem by controlling deer and elk populations. e. Research shows that the wolves’ presence has improved biodiversity, benefiting plants, birds, and other animals. A. c – b – d – e – a B. e – c – d – a – b C. e – a – b – c – d D. c – a – d – e – b Read the following passage about humanoid robots 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. Over the past decade, Vietnam has intensified its tiger conservation efforts, yet the population of wild tigers remains critically low. Estimates suggest that only about five tigers persist in the wild, with no national surveys conducted since 2009 to provide updated figures. In 2010, at the Global Tiger Summit in Russia, Vietnam joined 12 other countries in pledging to double the global wild tiger population by 2022. Subsequently, in 2014, the Vietnamese Prime Minister approved a national program aimed at conserving tigers through habitat protection and population restoration. Despite these commitments, (18)__________ India, Nepal, Bhutan, Russia, and China, (19)__________. Concurrently, there has been a significant rise in the number of captive tigers within Vietnam. The registered captive tiger population, predominantly housed in private facilities, surged from 97 in 2010 to 364 in 2021. (20)__________, concerns have been raised regarding the practices of these facilities. Organizations like Education for Nature Vietnam (ENV) argue that none of the current breeding centers meet the stringent requirements necessary for effective conservation breeding. (21)__________ To address these challenges, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development plans to enhance oversight of tiger breeding facilities. Proposed measures include comprehensive investigations, the creation of detailed management records, and the establishment of a national database incorporating genetic profiles, imagery, and electronic tagging of all captive tigers. ENV emphasizes that these initiatives will be effective only if implemented alongside clear policies that strictly regulate breeding activities and manage the disposition of deceased tigers. Recommendations also call for the development of specific regulations on birth control for captive tigers so that (22)__________. If these regulations are enforced properly, Vietnam may see better outcomes in its tiger conservation efforts. (Adapted from https://en.vietnamplus.vn) Question 18: A. Vietnam has ever achieved the same successes as nations like B. Vietnam has yet to reach the same achievements as countries like C. Vietnam has been reached similar achievements as countries like D. Vietnam has already gained equal success compared to countries like Question 19: A. at which have seen growth in their wild tiger populations. B. having been recorded increases in wild tiger populations. C. where have observed increases in their wild tiger populations. D. which have reported increases in their wild tiger numbers. Question 20: A. While tiger farming is viewed as a potential strategy for species restoration B. When breeding tigers conserved critically endangered species of enclosures C. When farming tigers is facing forest clearance and illegal poaching activities D. While keeping tigers in captivity houses spawning ground and marine life. Question 21: A. Unless those challenges persist, conservation aims will remain compromised. B. More of those issues exist, conservation aims will remain untouchable. C. If these problems remain, conservation goals will keep being weakened. D. If more of these problems stop, than saving nature will be more successful. Question 22: A. their population can be handled as effectively as it is presently. B. their population can be regulated the most effectively of it is now.
C. their population could be controlled less efficiently than the current. D. their population can be managed more effectively than it is now. Read the following passage about coffee 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 23 to 30. Counting Coral is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring coral reefs through innovative methods. They design, donate, and install sculptural coral gene banks—functional underwater artworks that rehabilitate damaged reefs. These sculptures serve as nurseries for resilient coral species, promoting biodiversity and aiding reef recovery. In March 2024, Counting Coral unveiled its second Sculptural Coral Gene Bank at Vomo Island Resort in Fiji. This installation spans 60 feet in diameter and reaches a depth of 18 feet, currently nurturing over 370 parent corals. The gene bank doubles as an artificial reef and an underwater living art piece, attracting marine life and divers alike. The organization addresses critical threats to coral reefs, such as climate change, ocean acidification, pollution, and coastal development. Rising sea temperatures cause coral bleaching, where corals expel the symbiotic algae, they rely on, leading to weakened and dying reefs. Ocean acidification further degrades corals' ability to build their calcium carbonate skeletons. Additionally, pollution from land-based sources and coastal development smothers coral and reduces water quality. Counting Coral's approach not only aids in reef restoration but also engages local communities by creating employment opportunities and raising awareness about marine conservation. By installing these functional attractions, they divert diver traffic from fragile reefs, increase revenue for local communities, and strengthen marketing opportunities for partnering organizations. Through their unique blend of art and conservation, Counting Coral transforms human engagement with coral reef restoration, fostering a future where coral reefs can thrive as they should.
