Write the letter A, B, C or D in each of the corresponding numbered response boxes provided. PLANT DEFENSE MECHANISMS During the Ordovician Period some four-hundred-and-fifty million years ago, land plants evolved from aquatic plants. Once on land, plants had to adapt or die. One adaptation was a protective coating to reduce the damage to nother was seeds that could survive dry conditions. Such defense mechanisms ensured cal creas herbivory while insects, The defense mechanisms plants employ against herbivores and other potenti t are either constitutive or induced. Constitutive defense mechanisms are those d vhich a plant has developed over time. For example, to prevent deer from eating it, the raspberry planthas long stems which are covered with sharp thorns while fruit trees produce gummosis, a sticky, sap-like material that traps insects. One plant, the voodoo lily, protects itself by smelling like rotting flesh, This unusual defense mechanism keeps herbivores away while attracting carrion-eating insects that pollinate the lily thus ensuring its survival, Another form of constitutive defense occurs at the molecular level. These are toxins which the plant produces. If ingested, the results can be fatal. One of the more famous examples is the Greek philosopher Socrates. Accused of corrupting the youth of Athens, Socrates was condemned to death by drinking poison hemlock. Its cousin, water hemlock, is considered the most toxic plant in North America. Many common vegetables and fruits are also poisonous. The potato, for example, isa member of the deadly nightshade family. The stems and leaves ofthe potato plant contain a glycoalkaloid poison, a toxin that manifests itself as a green color in old potatoes or potatoes exposed to prolonged periods of light. In contrast, induced defense mechanisms are those which a plant develops and sends to the part of itwhich has been injured. Such mechanisms occur at the molecular level and are produced by the plant only when needed, For example, in an article by T. R. Green and C. A. Ryan, when a potato plant is attacked by the Colorado potato beetle, the action will induce in the potato plant the production of a proteinase inhibitor which targets those parts of the potato plant that are exposed to air due to wounding, Proteinase inhibitors are enzymes that break down protein left behind at the wound by the potato beetle thus preventing infection. Another induced defense mechanism occurs when an herbivore eats part of a plant. [2] This, in turn, induces the release and activation of a cyanogenic glycoside, a poison common in the leaves of many popular fruit and nut trees, such as the cherry, the almond, the peach, and the apple. [2] In an herbivore, these can cause extreme salivation, gastroenteritis, and diarrhea. [3] An herbivore, having been afflicted this way, wll think twice the next time it approaches a tree or plant with such a defense mechanism. [4] Plants can also defend th irom herbivores by changing shape. This induced mechanism is called thigmoni 105 pudica, commonly known as the shy plant, isa salient example of such behavior. When touched or shal of the shy plant fold inward and the plant itself droops. Scientists speculate that this induced movement can shake off harmful insects or frighten away other herbivores. Another explanation is that by folding ‘to be dead thus presenting itself as unappeti ‘¢_ reciprocal: mutual exchange 002. In paragraph 1, what does herbivery mean? A. feeding on seeds B. feeding on biomass feeding on insects D. feeding on plants 002. What constitutive defense mechanisms does the author compare and contrast in the second paragraph? A. raspberry gummosis, fruit tree thorns, voodoo lily smell B. raspberry stems, fruit tree fungus, voodoo lily bacteria -2-C. voodoo lily smell, raspberry thorns, fruit tree traps D. raspberry thorns, fruit tree gummosis, voodoo lily smell 003. In the third paragraph, why does the author use the example of Socrates? ‘A. to show how the early Greeks used plant medicine _B. to illustrate the effects of poison hemlock C. to add to the classification of dangerous plants D. to wam that hemlock can be fatal if ingested 004, In the third paragraph, manifests is closest in meaning to: A. manipulates B. multiplies C. reveals reviles 005. In the fourth paragraph, to what does which refer? A. potato plant B. proteinase inhibitor. production D. Colorado potato beetle 006. In the fourth paragraph, all of the following are TRUE EXCEPT: A. proteinase inhibitors are enzymes B, the potato plant uses proteinase inhibitors as a defense mechanism C. proteinase inhibitors target exposed areas resulting from herbivory D. proteinase inhibitors are constitutive defense mechanisms 007. Look at the numbered square brackets in the fourth paragraph. They indicate where the bold sentence below could be added to it. Select which one where you think the bold sentence could be inserted into the passage. By chewing a leaf, for example, enzymes in the herbivore’s saliva break down the cell membranes. Aa] B. [2] ¢.[3] D. [4] 008. In paragraph 4, afflicted is closest in meaning to: A. harmed B. depicted C. wamed D. killed 009. From the passage, it can be inferred that: A. Through co-evolution, plants have developed many ways to defend themselves against herbivory. B, Scientists have been able to identify how plants defend themselves from environmental factors. C. By successfully defending against herbivory, plants one day will no longer be threatened by herbivores, such as deer and insects. D. The evolutionary process of plants is litte understood by scientists. 010. Which of the following sentences best restates the essential information in the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph? Incorrect choices will change the meaning and omit important information, A. The shy plant protects itself by convincing herbivores that itis not alive thus probably wouldn't taste very good. B. By drooping over and folding up, the shy plant dies thus herbivores will have no appetite fori C. Herbivores are less interested in eating dead plants than living plants. D. The reason why the shy plant pretends to be dead is because it cannot protect itself rom herbivores. Write your answers here: 001. 002. 003. 004. 005. 006. 007. 008. 009. 010.

PART Il You are going to read a magazine interview with an expert on consciousness in animals. Read the text and fill the ‘gaps with the correct questions (A - 1). Write the letter of the missing question in the each of the corresponding numbered response boxes provided. There are three extra questions you will not need. ANIMALS THINK AND FEEL. HERE'S HOW WE KNOW. Do animals feel empathy? Does an elephant have consciousness? Can a dog plan ahead? These are some of the questions that award-winning environmental writer Carl Safina teases out in his new book, Beyond Words: How Animals Think and Feel. Speaking from Stony Brook University on Long Island, New York, where he is a visiting professor in the school of journalism, he provided answers to some of our questions about his book. (021) __I wanted to show why we should acknowledge consciousness in animals and how exciting new discoveries about the brain are breaking down barriers between us and other non-human animals. That was my initial motivation for writing the book. (022) __ We talk about conservation of animals by numbers, but those are just numbers. Watching animals my whole life I've always been struck by how similar to us they are. Life is very vivid to animals. In many cases they know who they are. They know who their friends are and who their rivals are. They have ambitions for higher status. They compete. Their lives follow the arc of a career, like ours do. We both try to stay alive, get food and shelter, and raise some young for the next generation. Animals are no different from us in that regard and | think that their presence here on Earth is tremendously enriching. Really knowing and understanding who we share the Earth with is vital, in my opinion. (023) __ This issue, like many aspects of animal behaviour, is confused by a lack of definitions people agree on. The question really is, do other species have mental experiences or do they sense things without having any sensation of what they are experiencing? Like a motion sensor senses motion, but it probably doesn't experience that it senses motion. Animals do - they react to movement: fight or flight or curiosity. Itis incredible to me there is still a debate over this. If you watch mammals or even birds, you will see how they respond to the world. They play. They act frightened when there's danger. They relax when things are good. It seems illogical for us to think that animals might not be having a genuine, aware mental experience of play, sleep, fear or love. (024) ___In the beginning there was almost no neurology, nothing was known of how mental processes worked. Animal behaviour was based on fables, like foxes are clever, tortoises are persistent. So scientists said, “All we can know about animals is based on what they do. We can only describe what they do. We can't know anything about their minds.” It's very obvious that animals know who they are to those who observe them. They have to be in order to do the things they do and make choices, and use judgment. However, in laboratories the dogma persists: “don't assume that animals think and have emotions" - andmany who work in such places insist that they do not. Perhaps they have a vested interest in taking such a view. (025) __ With the general public, | think it's quite different. Many simply assume that animals act consciously and base their belief on their own domestic animals onpets. Others do not want animals to be conscious because it makes it easier for us to do things to animals that Would be hard to do if we knew they were unhappy and suffering. (026) __ Researchers spend decades observing wild animals and see them as individuals. Many researchers have names for the animals and recognize the different personalities. Some are bold; some are shy. Some are more aggressive; some are mellower; some babies are much more assertive. This familiarity allows researchers like myself to draw conclusions which are informed and incontrovertible, and have far-reaching consequences. V5 as me Th wae A. Is there a noticeable contrast between the way scientists perceive animal consciousness and the way people outside the scientific community draw conclusions about animals? B. What made you write the book in the first place? C. What makes you so confident that your interpretation of the way animals behave is more informed than that of others? D. You make a strong case for the assumption that animals act consciously. So why, in your opinion, are many scientists adverse to the idea that animals have consciousness? E. Your book suggests that animals have thought processes, emotions, and social connections that mean as much to them as they do to us. Why should we be interested in this? F. How long will the current research into animal consciousness take? G. You state that consciousness is not merely a human experience and cite the Cambridge Declaration of Consciousness drafted in 2012. Tell us about this new interpretation and how it relates to our fellow creatures. H. Preserving animal species is a major concern of yours. How best should we go about doing this? 1. To what extent does current thinking on animal behaviour bear out long-established viewpoints?

Write the letter of the missing paragraph in each of the corresponding numbered response boxes provided. 023. 024. 025. 026. THE RISE OF SILICON VALLEY ‘On January 11, 1971, an article was published in the trade newspaper Electronic News about the companies involved in the semiconductor and computer industries in Santa Clara Valley at the southern end of San Francisco Bay Area in California, USA. The article was entitled “Silicon Valley USA’, a reference to the fact that silicon is the most important substance used in commercial semiconductors and their applications. The name stuck, and in light of the commercial success of the companies there, “Silicon Valley” is now used as a metonym for the high-tech sector. {027 | ] (032 | ] ‘One such new business was the one founded by two graduates of the nearby Stanford University called Bill Hewlett and David Packard. In 1938 the pair had $538, and along with Dave's wife Lucile, decided to rent a property at 367 Addison Avenue, Palo Alto. For $45 a month they got a ground floor apartment for Dave and Lucile, a garden shed where Bill slept, and a garage from which to run the business, a garage which has more recently been dubbed “The birthplace of Silicon Valley”. 028 As time passed, the 200A was improved and developed, resulting in the 2008. Eight ofthese improved oscillators were bought by The Walt Disney Company, for use in testing and certifying the Fantasound surround-sound systems installed in cinemas for the 1940 movie Fantasia. Success was beginning to come. Terman’s proposal was taken up by Stanford University, and in 1951 Stanford Industrial Park was created. The first tenant in the Park was Varian Associates, founded by Stanford alumni in the 1930s, to make components for military radars. Hewlett Packard moved in two years later. The Park still flourishes to this day, although it is now known as Stanford Research Park. Current tenants include Eastman Kodak, General Electric and Lockheed Corporati 032 The 1950s were also a time of great development in electronics technology. Most importantly, the development of the transistor continued. Research scientist William Shockley moved to the Santa Clara Valley region in 1956, when he formed Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory. There his research team started constructing semiconductors from silicon,{oz} Although they are often considered to be the symbolic founders of Silicon Valley. they did not deal in semiconductor devices until the 1960s. From then onwards, the semiconductor devices they made were mostly intended for internal use, for such products as measuring instruments and calculators. Today, however, Hewlett-Packard is the largest manufacturer of personal computers in the world. rather than germanium, as did most other researchers. The silicon transistors proved to perform much better, and started to be used in radios and the early computers. 033 Since the 1970s, however, the most important developments pioneered in Silicon Valley have been in software and Internet services rather than hardware. So even though Hewlett-Packard remains the largest producers of computers in the world, the future of Silicon Valley might well lie elsewhere. Terman also had a more direct influence through his role at Stanford University. The University had been established in 1891 in the north-western part of the Santa Clara Valley, and from the start, its leaders aimed to support the local region. The result was that the University played an important part in establishing and developing local businesses, and indeed its alumni went on to found some major companies, not just Hewlett-Packard, but such household names as Yahoo! and Google. A. Throughout their early years, Hewlett and Packard were mentored by one of their university professors, Frederick Terman. Terman was Stanford University’s dean of engineering and provost during the 1940s and 1950s, and had a positive influence on many of the successful companies in Silicon Valley. Indeed, his influence was such that he has been dubbed “the father of Silicon Valley’. Terman encouraged his students to form their own companies and personally invested in many of them, and in this way nurtured many highly successful companies, including not just Hewlett Packard, but others such as Varian Associates and Litton Industries. Hewlett-Packard was arguably the first company to offer a mass-produced personal computer, namely the 9IOOA. For marketing reasons, however, the IODA was sold as a “desktop calculator”. It simply did not resemble what was then considered a “computer”, namely the large machines being sold by IBM. The S100A fitted comfortably on a desk, and possessed a small screen and a keyboard. In fact, it was more like an oversized and over-expensive precursor of a pocket calculator than a modern PC, since its keyboard lacked letter keys. Following the end of the Second World War in 1945, universities in the United States were experiencing enormous enrolment demands from the returning military personnel. Terman proposed launching a scheme which would kill two birds with one stone. The idea was to lease out land owned by Stanford University to high-technology companies for their offices. This scheme would firstly finance the University's growth requirements and thereby facilitate a larger student intake, and secondly provide local employment opportunities for graduating students. The beginnings of Silicon Valley can be traced back to the early twentieth century. At that time, Santa Clara Valley was known for its orchards which flourished in California's balmy climate. There were nevertheless a number of experimenters and innovators in such fields as radio, television and military electronics, and several people were trying to take advantage of any business opportunities that might arise. It was also in Silicon Valleythat other revolutionary electronic components were developed. The siliconbased integrated circuit, the microprocessor and the microcomputer were all invented by companies there, as well as such electronic devices as the mouse and the ink-jet printer. Indeed, Silicon Valley has been the world's most important site of electronic innovation over the past 5O years. In those earlyyears, Hewlett-Packardwas @ company without a focused direction. They made a whole range of electronic products, with diverse customers in industry and agriculture. In the 1940s, their principal products were test equipment, including such devices as voltmeters, oscilloscopes and thermometers. They aimed to provide better quality products than their competitors, and made a big effort to make their products more sensitive and accurate than their rivals.” Another bond between the University and the local high-technology businesses was established in 1954, with the creation of the Honors Cooperative Program. This programme allowed employees of the -6-businesses to pursue part-time graduate degrees at the University whilst continuing to work full-time in their jobs. In this way, key workers in the electronics industry were able to hone their skills and knowledge, creating the foundation for the development of Silicon Valley. H. Of the many products Hewlett and Packard worked on, the first financially successful one was a precision audio oscillator, a device for testing sound equipment. This product, the 200A, featured the innovati use of a small light bulb as a temperature-dependent resistor in a critical section of the circuit, which allowed them to sell it for $54.40, only a quarter of the price of their competitors’ audio oscillators.

What we did here is 04 we just give this robot the ability to see us as we moved around the space around it. So we 05 hooked up a bunch of cameras on the ceiling and we created some software that lets the robot 06 see basically the entire environment around it. And what we're trying to show here is that we 07 can actually, with really simple twists to this existing technology, we can make it responsive to 08 people and make it easy to use by people. So just through your natural gesture. the way you 09 might communicate with another person, you can tell the robot to come a little closer, or to come 10 over here, to come picking something up.
