A. READIN

G PART I.
As part of a class at school you have to read this article from a local newspaper. Read it and answer the questions
which follow. Write the letter A, B, C or Din each of the corres ondin numbered res onse boxes rovided.
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 tissues due to evaporation. Another was seeds that could survive dry conditions. Such defense
mechanisms ensured plant survival and diversification.With such adaptation, plants were able to flourish. Yet withthe
proliferation of plants came a sudden increase in plant-eating insects. As a result, plants had to develop defense
mechanisms against herbivory while insects, in order to survive, had to develop ways to defeat plant defense
mechanisms. This process of reciprocal evolutionary change, in which life forms influence each other's
development, is called coevolution. Co evolution is generally regarded as having led to the creation of much of
the Earth's biomass.
The defense mechanisms plants employ against herbivores and other potential threats,such asfungus and
bacteria, are either constitutive or induced. Constitutive defense mechanisms are those defenses which a plant has
developed over time. For example, to prevent deer from eatingit, the raspberry plant has longstems which
arecovered 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-eatinginsects 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, is a member of the deadly nightshade family. The stems and leaves of the
potato plant contain a glycoalkaloid poison, a toxin that manifests itself asa 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 it which 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 beetlethus preventing infection. Another induced defense mechanism occurs when an
herbivore eats part of a plant. [l] 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, will think twice the next time it approaches a tree or plant with such a defense
mechanism. [4]
Plants can also defend themselves from herbivores by changing shape. This induced mechanism is called
thigmonasty. Mimos pudica, commonly known as the shy plant, is a salient example of such behavior. When
touched or shaken, the leaves 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 up and drooping, the shy plant ispretending to be dead thus presenting itself as unappetizing.

PART Ill.
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 - I). Write the letter of the missing question in the each of the
corresponding numbered res onse boxes rovided. There are three extra uestions ou 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.
(21) _ 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.
(22) _ 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 I 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.
(23) _ 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.
It is 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.
(24) _ 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
- 5 -
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, I think it's quite different. Many simply assume that animals act
consciously and base their belief on their own domestic animals or pets. 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.
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?
I. To what extent does current thinking on animal behaviour bear out long-established viewpoints?

THE RISE OF SILICON VALLEY
On January11,1971, 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 USilicon Valley USA", a reference to the
fact that silicon is the most important substance used in commercial semiconductors andtheir
applications. The name stuck, and in light of the commercial success of the companies there, uSilicon
Valley" is now used as a metonym for the high-tech sector.

Terman also had a more direct influence through elsewhere.
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 194Os
and 195Os, 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.
B. Hewlett-Packard was arguably the first company to offer a mass-produced personal computer, namely
the 91OOA. For marketing reasons, however, the 91OOA 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 91OOA 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.
C. 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.
D. 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.
E. 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 50 years.
F. In those earlyyears, Hewlett-Packardwas a company without a focused direction. They made a whole
range of electronic products, with diverse customers in industry and agriculture. In the 194Os, 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."
G. 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
- 8 -
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
innovative 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.

F. ERROR IDENTIFICATION

PART X.
Identify the five mistakes in the following passage and correct them.
Line
01 We are in the Boston dry docks at Autodesk's brand new build space. So this is the robot
I've 02 been working to for the past ten weeks. This is a ABB IRB-6700 and it's a machine that can
move 03 up to seven metres per second; it can hold 300kilograms, over 600 pounds. 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.
