correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 38.
Although bear-like, koalas are not bears. They are mammals, so feed their young milk and are
marsupials, which means that their babies are born immature and they develop further in the safety of a
pouch. They are tree-dwelling, herbivorous marsupials, which average about 9kg in weight and live on
gum leaves. Their fur is thick and usually ash grey with a tinge of brown in places. Koalas in the
southern parts of Australia are considerably larger and have thicker fur than those in the north. This is
thought to be an adaptation to keep them warm in the colder southern winters.
Younger breeding females usually give birth to one joey each year, depending on a range of
factors. The joey stays in its mother’s pouch for about 6 or 7 months, drinking only milk. After
venturing out of the pouch, the joey rides on its mother’s abdomen or back, although it continues to
return to her pouch for milk until it is too big to fit inside. The joey leaves its mother’s home range
between 1 and 3 years old, depending on when the mother has her next joey.
Koalas are mostly nocturnal. They sleep for part of the night and also sometimes move about in
the daytime. They often sleep for up to 18-20 hours each day. There is a myth that koalas sleep a lot
because they ‘get drunk’ on gum leaves. However, most of their time is spent sleeping because it
requires a lot of energy to digest their toxic, fibrous, low-nutrition diet and sleeping is the best way to
conserve energy.
The koala gets its name from an ancient Aboriginal word meaning “no drink” because it receives
over 90% of its hydration from the eucalyptus leaves (also known as gum leaves) it eats, and only
drinks when ill or times when there is not enough moisture in the leaves i.e. during droughts, etc.
Question 34: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Koalas’ Breeding.
B. The Origin Of The Koala’s Name And Its Eating Habits.
 C. Koalas Are Mammals, Not Bears.

A. They give birth to one joey biannually.
B. They give birth to one offspring annually.
C. They don’t give birth until the females reach 6 or 7 months.
D. They don’t breed during the day.
Question 36: The word it in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. a mother B. a joey C. a pouch D. back

A. sleepy all day and night B. awake at daytime

correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
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.
