- B. Could you tell me where the Post Office is
- C. Does the bus leave from here
- D. Could you tell me where this route takes me

- B. What are the social benefits of traditional market
- C. Can you tell me more

Section Two: Reading Passage I Instructions: Read the following passage carefully and answer questions 51 - 59 according to the information therein. From the four choices (A - D), given for each question, choose the correct answer and then blacken the letter of your choice on the separate answer sheet provided. The Pollution of the Oceans No one can calculate the quantity of solid waste that has been dumped in the world's oceans, but the total certainly exceeds many millions of tons. For example, from 1880 to 1895, 75 percent of the solid waste from New York City was dumped untreated into the Atlantic Ocean. Although it is now prohibited by law, the dumping of solid waste, including waste water sludge, industrial waste, and high-level radioactive waste were common in the United States until 1970. Cruise ships and huge floating fishing factories still regularly dispose of their solid waste products directly into the ocean. The earth naturally recycles water and refreshes the land in what is called the hydrological cycle. The hydrological cycle not only renews the supply of water, but cleans it as well. The process begins as heat from the sun causes sea water, 97 percent of the earth's total water reserve, to evaporate and form clouds. Because water evaporates at lower temperatures than most pollutants, the water vapor that rises from the seas is relatively pure and free of the contaminants, which are left behind. Next, water returns to earth as rain, which drains into streams and rivers and rushes toward the sea. Chemicals, petroleum products, and other dangerous substances such as radioactive materials remain in the ocean, polluting it permanently. The polluted ocean water kills fish or makes them dangerous to eat, posing health problems for those who consume them. It kills the tiny sea creatures that are the source of food for larger fish, sharks, and whales. It also spoils a source of great beauty and pleasure when some solid waste is thrown onto beaches during storms. Discharged petroleum products are frequently found on beaches and they not only ruin the beaches, but the petroleum residue also kills hundreds of shore birds. Nonpoint pollutants are dumped into lakes, rivers, and streams that may be far away from any ocean. However, these pollutants flow, eventually, into the oceans. They can come from a variety of sources, from road salt to agricultural pesticides. One source of nonpoint pollution is runoff from farming, including fertilizers, manure , and pesticides. Another source is industrial runoff, including heavy metals, phosphorous, and many other chemicals. Urban runoff (oils, salts, various chemicals) is another source of nonpoint pollutants that reach the oceans. This includes water and waste from sinks, toilets, washing machines, and bathtubs. The problem with this type of waste is that it provides massive amounts of nutrients for water plants, such as algae, so that they grow rapidly. This sudden growth causes concentrations or algae blooms, which use up the oxygen in the water. As the oxygen levels of the water decline, many organisms suffer and die, and the ocean ecosystem is radically altered. This can be prevented by the installation of waste treatment plants that prevent waste from entering the sea, but such facilities do not exist in many poorer countries.

Section Four: Reading Passage II Instructions: Read the following passage carefully and answer questions 74 – 82 according to the information therein. From the four choices (A – D), given for each question, choose the correct answer and then blacken the letter of your choice on the separate answer sheet provided. The Promise and Threat of Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic dream – it is embedded in nearly every aspect of modern life. From voice assistants and medical diagnostics to autonomous vehicles and personalized education, AI has transformed the way we live and work. Yet, alongside these innovations come ethical concerns and existential questions. As machines become smarter, society must grapple with issues of control, bias, and responsibility. AI's potential to improve human life is enormous. In healthcare, machine-learning algorithms can analyze medical images with remarkable precision, sometimes surpassing human doctors in detecting diseases. In education, AI-driven tutoring systems adapt to each student's learning pace, making instruction more individualized than ever. Businesses use AI to predict market trends, optimize logistics and improve customer experience. These advancements promise greater efficiency and accuracy, saving time, money, and even lives. However, the darker side of AI is becoming increasingly visible. Algorithms trained on biased data can reinforce discrimination. For example, the use of AI in law enforcement or credit scoring may unfairly target minorities. Another fear is the displacement of workers. As automation expands, millions may lose jobs to machines, especially in manufacturing, transportation, and customer service. Moreover, the greatest concern lies not in lost employment but in the potential loss of human agency. If machines begin to make moral or strategic decisions independently, who is accountable for their actions? This question becomes urgent in fields such as autonomous weapons or judicial decision-making. Should a self-driving car decide whom to save in an unavoidable crash? Should AI recommend a prison sentence? These moral dilemmas have no easy answers. Scientists like the late Stephen Hawking and entrepreneur Elon Musk have warned that uncontrolled AI development could pose existential risks to humanity. If an AI system were to surpass human intelligence and act on goals misaligned with human values, it could become uncontrollable. This scenario, though still theoretical, raises the need for global cooperation and ethical frameworks to ensure that AI development remains safe and beneficial . Nevertheless, pessimism is not the only response. Many experts argue that with proper regulation, transparency and oversight, AI can serve as humanity's greatest tool. Organizations are already establishing guidelines for "ethical AI," emphasizing fairness, accountability and respect for privacy. Researchers are also designing systems that can explain their reasoning, reducing the "black box" problem that makes AI decisions opaque. Ultimately, the future of AI will depend on human wisdom rather than machine intelligence. Technology itself is neutral – it mirrors the intentions of those who design and use it. If society invests as much in ethics and education as it does in innovation, AI could not become a threat, but it is reasonably considered as an ally in solving humanity's most urgent problems – from climate change to disease eradication. The challenge lies in ensuring that intelligence, whether artificial or human, serves the common good. Source: Slightly adapted from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Blackwells.
