indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Biodiversity, or the variety of all living things on our planet, has been declining at an alarming rate
in recent years, mainly due to human activities, such as land use changes, pollution and climate
change.
The European Commission presented the new 2030 Biodiversity Strategy in May 2020,
following calls from the Parliament in January 2020 to address the main drivers of
biodiversity loss and set legally binding targets.
Biodiversity is traditionally defined as the variety of life on Earth in all its forms. It comprises
the number of species, their genetic variation and the interaction of these lifeforms within
complex ecosystems.
In a UN report published in 2019, scientists warned that one million species - out of an
estimated total of eight million - are threatened with extinction, many within decades. Some
researchers even consider we are in the middle of the sixth mass extinction event in Earth’s
history. Earlier known mass extinctions wiped out between 60% and 95% of all species. It
takes millions of years for ecosystems to recover from such an event.
On 16 January, MEPs called for legally binding targets to stop biodiversity loss to be agreed at
a UN biodiversity conference in China in October. The conference brings together parties to
the 1993 UN Biodiversity Convention to decide on its post-2020 strategy. Parliament wants the
EU to take the lead by ensuring that 30% of EU territory consists of natural areas by 2030 and
considering biodiversity in all EU policies.
Question 31. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Biodiversity Loss B. The Extinction of Species

A. the earliest known mass extinction wiped out between 60% and 95% of all species
B. the Earth has undergone five mass extinctions
C. some researchers consider causing the sixth mass extinction event

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 following questions.
Teenagers feel peer pressure every day in their lives, whether in school or out on the town.
During their teenage years, kids differentiate themselves from their parents by participating in
peer groups, and sometimes, these groups offer negative choices to teens.
Oftentimes, “just saying no” isn’t enough, and teens must look inward at self-confidence and
personal conviction to make good choices. The reality is that teenagers are more likely than
adults over 25 to binge drink, have casual sex, participate in negative situations, and get in
automobile accidents. Given this increased likelihood of risky behavior, how can teens learn to
make good decisions and choices while also maintaining friendships?
Loneliness and desire for acceptance often drives students to give in to negative peer pressure.
For example, consider a sophomore high school transfer student who has experienced
difficulty meeting friends in class. It’s as if everyone has a group and except for this boy. One
day in the cafeteria, right before lunch begins, a group of kids invites him over. The boy,
excited and eager to meet new friends, begins conversing with the kids, discovering they are
about to skip school for the rest of the day to go to a friend’s house whose parents are out of
town. The boy knows skipping school is wrong, but he also desperately wants to make friends
in his new location. The boy’s emotions rage inside him, but he makes the choice to
accompany the kids to their friend’s house, giving in to peer pressure even though he knows
the consequences are severe if his parents or teachers catch him.
This type of situation is commonplace for teenagers today, especially for vulnerable students.
The boy in the example was lonely and lacked self-confidence to meet friends in more positive
ways. To boost self-confidence, his parents needed to support him, reaffirming to him the
positives in his life. While teenagers often seem as if they are brushing aside statements about
how likeable they are, it bolsters their self-confidence, and encourages them to seek out new
friends.
