Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of
the following questions.
The concept of obtaining fresh water from an iceberg that is towed to populated areas and arid regions of the world
was once treated as a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real life. But now it is being considered quite seriously by
many nations, especially since scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster
than it runs out of food. Glaciers are a possible source of freshwater that has been overlooked until recently.
Three-quarters of the Earth's freshwater supply is still tied up in glacial ice, a reservoir of untapped fresh water so
immense that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for 1,000 years. Floating on the oceans every year are 7,659 trillion
metric tons of ice encased in 10,000 icebergs that break away from the polar ice caps, more than ninety percent of them
from Antarctica.
Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs throughout the year. Icebergs are
not like sea ice, which is formed when the sea itself freezes; rather, they are formed entirely on land, breaking off when
glaciers spread over the sea. As they drift away from the polar region, icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a direction
opposite to the wind, pulled by subsurface currents. Because they melt more slowly than smaller pieces of ice, icebergs
have been known to drift as far north as 35 degrees south of the equator in the Atlantic Ocean.
The difficulty arises in other technical matters, such as the prevention of rapid melting in warmer climates and the
funneling of fresh water to shore in great volume. But even if the icebergs lost half of their volume in towing, the water
they could provide would be far cheaper than that produced by desalination, or removing salt from water.
(Adapted from TOELF reading)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of
the following questions.
[I] In what conservationists are describing as a turning point, the ambitious Greater Mekong Wildlife Bridge
Project has faced an unforeseen obstacle. [II] Despite an unprecedented $50 million investment, the migrating elephant
populations have decreased by 35% since it was launched. [III] These statistics have sent shockwaves through the
conservation community, challenging long-held assumptions about wildlife corridor effectiveness. [IV]
The idea of wildlife corridors has long captivated conservationists. By creating protected pathways between
fragmented habitats, these artificial lifelines were meant to ensure species survival. However, underlying this seemingly
flawless approach is a more complicated reality. As human expansion intrudes upon these corridors, animals find
themselves playing Russian roulette with each crossing, facing life threatening risks from poachers who have caught wind
of these predictable migration routes.
3
 Recent findings from the Southeast Asian Conservation Institute showed a worrying situation. When faced with
human disturbance, elephants altered their migration patterns, venturing into unprotected areas. These behavioral
adaptations proved catastrophic poaching incidents increased by 180% in these areas. The findings have left
conservationists deeply concerned about the unintended consequences of their well- intentioned interventions.
The economic implications of corridor conservation add another layer of complexity to an already challenging
issue. Local communities, stuck in a difficult position, often view these projects with skepticism. Traditional farming
practices fall by the wayside as authorities implement strict land-use regulations. While compensation schemes exist on
paper, they rarely translate into adequate financial support for affected communities.
Conservation biologists have begun advocating for a paradigm shift in approach. Rather than imposing artificial
corridors, they propose integrating wildlife passages into existing human infrastructure. This strategy has already
proven successful in countries like Malaysia, where elevated highways incorporate natural underpasses. These structures
allow for wildlife movement while maintaining human activity above, creating a win-win situation for all stakeholders.
Yet the jury is still out on the long-term viability of such solutions. Critics argue that these modified corridors
merely paper over the cracks of a deeper issue - humanity's relentless expansion into natural habitats. As urban sprawl
continues unabated, even these innovative approaches may prove to be nothing more than a band-aid on a gaping wound.
