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 questions from 31 to 35. Expanding the planet's protected natural areas to safeguard vanishing forests and other ecosystems, and the species they protect, is unlikely to be effective on its own as human encroachment into reserves grows, scientists warned Tuesday. A study by Cambridge University researchers, which looked at thousands of conservation areas in more than 150 countries, found that, on average, protected designation is not reducing human encroachment in vulnerable areas. Both chronic underfunding of efforts to protect the land, and a lack of engagement with local communities that live there are hurting conservation efforts, they found. Creating protected areas is "a type of intervention that we know can work, we know is absolutely essential for conserving biodiversity, at a time in this world's history where it has never been under higher pressure," said lead author Jonas Geldmann. "But despite that we are seeing that some of our protected areas are not managing to mitigate or stop that increasing pressure," said Geldmann, of the University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute. One-sixth of the globe now falls within protected areas, the study noted. Those include national parks, nature reserves and wilderness areas, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature's World Database on Protected Areas. Such protected areas are vital for preserving diverse ecosystems, and helping to curb climate change by conserving carbon- sequestering forests and other vegetation. The United Nations Environment Program estimates protected areas hold 15% of the carbon stored on land. "Protected areas are one of the most important things that we can do to stem the loss of biodiversity and to help solve the climate crisis," said Andrew Wetzler, managing director of the U.S.- based Natural Resources Defense Council's nature program. "The destruction of natural habitat is the single biggest driver of extinction." (Source: https://www.voanews.com/ ) Question 31: Which best serves as the title for the passage?

Protected status not enough to guard threatened nature.

Destruction of nature as dangerous as climate change.

Damaged and threatened national natural landmarks.

Conservation status and history of threatened species.

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 questions from 36 to 42. The name is a bit of a mouthful, but cultural appropriation happens when a dominant culture takes things from another culture that is experiencing oppression. Cultural exchange is different from cultural appropriation. Things like tea, gunpowder and pasta have been shared between different cultures throughout history. These 'borrowings' aren’t the same as cultural appropriation, because they don't involve power. When dominant groups take from an oppressed group, we're dealing with appropriation, not cultural exchange. Cultural appropriation is also very different from assimilation. 'Assimilation' describes what happens when minority cultures are forced to adopt features from a dominant culture in order to fit in. When we look at a culture that's experiencing oppression, it's often a result of colonisation, where a dominant group has claimed ownership of the land and its people. When the dominant group continues to steal aspects of the non-dominant culture, it continues the economic oppression and disadvantage of that culture. In Australia, there are cases where white Australian businesses have stolen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artworks for use on T-shirts and souvenirs. This allows the dominant culture to make money from the non-dominant culture, without benefiting the original artists. Cultural appropriation also has a nasty habit of giving the dominant group credit for aspects of a culture that they have taken, reinforcing the power imbalance between the two groups. For example, Kylie Jenner was credited with starting an 'edgy' new hair trend, while black actress Zendaya faced criticism for wearing her hair the same way. What's interesting about this, is that Zendaya's natural hair was seen as a negative. But Kylie Jenner, a person with no ties to black culture, was given credit for taking something that wasn't hers. Cultural appropriation creates stereotypes. The Native American chief, the Japanese geisha or the Arab sheikh can be examples of stereotypes that pop up during Halloween. When people from dominant cultures 'dress up' like this, it reduces something of cultural significance to a costume just so that the dominant group can have 'a bit of fun'. It also keeps these kinds of stereotypes going. There are times when it's encouraged to try something from a different culture. Being invited to an Indian wedding where the hosts are cool with you wearing traditional clothing is not cultural appropriation. (Source: https://au.reachout.com/ ) Question 37: According to paragraph 1, what can be suggested about cultural exchange, cultural appropriation and assimilation?

Cultural exchange happens when different cultures come together on an equal footing.

Cultural exchange and assimilation are the subcategories of cultural appropriation.

The three practices involve dominant cultures taking some features from minority ones.

Cultural assimilation is practiced to ensure survival and to avoid discrimination.

It does not give people credit for their own culture.

It continues the oppression of the non-dominant culture.

It adds to stereotypes faced by non-dominant cultures.

Being invited to take part by people from that culture is not cultural appropriation.

Cultural appreciation is the forceful adoption of certain elements from another culture.

A non-dominant culture is the most visible and accepted culture within a society.

Oppression is just one-on-one behaviour and not a form of structural discrimination.
