Read the following passage about Heroes Fighting for Animal 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 23 to
30.
In the heart of Africa's vast savannas, dedicated conservationists work tirelessly to protect endangered
species from extinction. These passionate individuals, often referred to as wildlife warriors, risk their lives
daily to combat poaching and preserve natural habitats. Their unwavering commitment has led to
significant achievements in safeguarding various species, particularly rhinos and elephants, which have long
been targeted for their valuable horns and tusks. Through their relentless efforts, these conservationists have
established sophisticated surveillance systems and developed innovative tracking methods to monitor and
protect vulnerable animals.
The success of wildlife conservation heavily relies on collaboration between local communities and
international organizations. By engaging indigenous peoples in conservation efforts, these programs have
created sustainable solutions that benefit both wildlife and human populations. Many former poachers have
transformed into wildlife guardians, using their intimate knowledge of the terrain to protect the very animals
they once hunted. This remarkable transformation demonstrates how education and alternative livelihood
programs can create positive change in conservation efforts.
Modern technology has revolutionized the way conservationists approach wildlife protection. Drones
equipped with thermal imaging cameras patrol vast territories, while GPS tracking devices help monitor
animal movements and identify potential threats. These technological advancements, combined with
traditional tracking methods, have significantly improved the efficiency of anti-poaching operations.
Additionally, social media platforms have become powerful tools for raising awareness and gathering
support for conservation initiatives worldwide.
Despite facing numerous challenges, including limited resources and dangerous conditions,
wildlife warriors remain steadfast in their mission. Their dedication has inspired a new generation of
conservationists who are equally passionate about protecting Earth's magnificent creatures. Through their
combined efforts, many species have been brought back from the brink of extinction, proving that
determination and collective action can make a profound difference in preserving our planet's biodiversity.

Read the following passage about the The Art of Teaching Machines to Feel 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 31 to
40.
In the realm of artificial intelligence, teaching machines to recognize and process human emotions
represents uncharted waters in technological advancement. Through sophisticated algorithms and deep
learning models, researchers are making remarkable strides in developing systems that can detect subtle
facial expressions, analyze voice patterns, and interpret emotional cues with increasing accuracy. This
technological advancement, known as affective computing, is revolutionizing how machines interact with
humans, creating more intuitive and responsive artificial intelligence systems.
[I]The process of teaching machines to understand emotions involves complex neural networks that
mimic the human brain's ability to process emotional information. [II] [III]By analyzing facial micro-
expressions, body language, and vocal intonations, AI systems can now identify and categorize basic
emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, and surprise with remarkable precision. [IV]This breakthrough
has significant implications for various fields, from mental health monitoring to customer service
enhancement.
The implementation of emotion-aware AI has already begun transforming multiple industries. In
healthcare, AI systems can assist in the early detection of mental health conditions by monitoring patients'
emotional patterns. Educational technology now incorporates emotion recognition to adapt learning
experiences based on students' engagement levels. Moreover, the automotive industry is developing vehicles
that can detect driver fatigue or emotional distress, potentially preventing accidents caused by psychological
factors.
As emotional AI catapults us into uncharted territory, we find ourselves navigating a digital
renaissance where possibilities and precautions intertwine. This groundbreaking technology promises to
redefine the very fabric of human-machine synergy and reshape our daily experiences in ways previously
confined to science fiction. Yet, in this era of unprecedented technological intimacy, we must thoughtfully
address the cornerstones of digital ethics—from safeguarding emotional data sovereignty to ensuring
transparent consent frameworks. The key to unlocking emotional AI's full potential lies in orchestrating a
masterful balance: pushing the boundaries of innovation while building an unshakeable foundation of ethical
governance. Only then can we ensure this powerful technology evolves as a force for human empowerment,
preserving individual autonomy and dignity in our increasingly connected world.
