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.
False, or fake, images are not new. In fact, the earliest fake photos date back to the 19 th
century. A famous example is the image called “The Cardiff Giant". The photo seems to show the
discovery of a giant human. It was fake, but some people thought it was real.
With computer technology, it is much easier now to make and share fake images. In 2004
another unusual photo spread around the world by email. Like the Cardiff Giant photo, it seemed
to show the discovery of a very large human body. The photo usually came with a story under a
title such as: “Giant Skeleton Unearthed!” Both the stories and the image were amazing. But there
was a problem - none of it was true.
The recent giant skeleton photo was the work of a Canadian illustrator. He made it for a
digital art contest. The image was really a mix of three different photos. Making the image, says
the illustrator, was not difficult. In fact, it took less than an hour and a half to create.

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.
Scientists believe they now have scientific evidence to prove that ecosystems work better
when there is a greater variety of species within them. This biodiversity is being lost destroying
natural mechanisms that could repair the damage caused by man. 
Findings show that losing plants and animals is not only reducing our quality of life but
actually endangering our very existence. We cut down rich rainforests and replace them with one
species plantations, such as pine and eucalyptus. We plough up meadows rich in different grasses
and herbs and replace them with one grass, for instance rye or wheat. 
When a natural ecosystem is simplified the basic processes in the ecosystem are altered
and even damaged. Without their biodiversity, they are not able to serve as the natural cleaners of
our planet. No longer are they able to absorb the carbon dioxide that is being produced in excess.
The result is global warming, caused by the increase in the 'greenhouse effect', and ultimately, or
even sooner, there will be a change in the world's climate.
