Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the
question.
When he was nine years old, Felix Finkbeiner gave a class presentation on climate change. The young
German spoke about deforestation and its effect on the planet. At the end of his talk, he challenged
the people of his country to help by planting one million trees. Nobody thought much would come of
a nine-year-old’s school project. Before he was 20, however, Finkbeiner’s efforts had resulted in the
planting of more than 14 billion trees around the world.
Finkbeiner and his classmates began the project - named “Plant-for-the-Planet” - by planting the first
tree outside their school. Other schools followed the example, and news of the one-million challenge
spread. As a result, Finkbeiner was asked to speak at the European Parliament. Other invitations soon
followed, and when he was just 13, he spoke at a United Nations conference in New York. “We
cannot trust that adults alone will save our future,” he said in the speech. “We have to take our future
in our hands.”
 Finkbeiner is now in his twenties, and Plant-for-the-Planet is an organization with around 70,000
members. It works to teach people about climate change and to encourage the planting of more trees.
Germany’s one millionth tree was planted long ago. The goal now is one trillion - 150 for every

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are increasingly prevalent in business and society;
besides, they have been applied to education. These technologies have the potential to transform many
aspects of the teaching - learning process.
Basic activities in education like grading can be automated with the help of AI. At educational
institutes, marking a large number of tests and assignments is tedious work. Teachers often find that
grading takes up a considerable amount of time which can be used to interact with students and prepare
for class. AI, at present, may not be able to actually replace human grading; however, it's getting pretty
close. Nearly all kinds of multiple choice and fill-in-the blank testing can now be performed by Al-
driven machines, and automated grading of student writing may not be far behind. Essay-grading
softwares are still in their infancy, yet they will be fully developed over the coming years, allowing
teachers to focus more on classroom activities and professional development.
Learners can also get additional support from AI. For instance, tutoring programs based on artificial
intelligence already exist to help students with basic courses of mathematics, writing, foreign language,
etc. With the rapid pace of technological advancement in recent years, sophisticated tutoring systems
which can help students learn high order thinking and stimulate their creativity will not be a pipe
dream. Moreover, Al programs can give learners useful feedback and assistance. Some schools,
especially those with online courses, are using AI systems to monitor students' progress. These systems
not only offer students advice on individual courses but also help students choose majors in accordance
with areas where they succeed or struggle.
For better or worse, AI systems have taken place in certain types of classroom activities. In the next
decades, their influences will extend significantly, which offers both teacher and students a much wider
range of services.
