the questions from 31 to 35(294).
When we think of elephants, we may think: gentle giants, majestic, noble creatures. All of which is true. Especially
for visitors to the areas they usually inhabit.
But these same elephants can also quietly sneak up on a farmer's land and devour their entire harvest in one night;
they can traumatise entire communities; stop children from going to school; flatten homes; and even kill people. For
communities living on the front lines of wildlife habitats, the reality of sharing space with animals can be harsh - especially
the cost of living alongside often contested protected areas, national parks and nature reserves. So depending on who or where
you are, your perception of elephants may differ.
It is hard for environmentalists to admit, but many conventional conservation methods are failing. Entire ecosystems
are being lost to industrial and economic expansion, pushing wildlife into ever-smaller spaces, where they compete with local
communities who are already marginalised. That is why we hear so much about the human-elephant conflict.
 To reduce this conflict and protect the environment, it is time we address the needs of the African communities that
share spaces with wildlife; the people who have too often been displaced and ignored - not only by governments but also by
generations of conservationists. We have to learn from our mistakes and acknowledge that many protected areas were founded
on racial, gender and class divisions, which helped create today's inequalities. Our governments, conservationists and society
at large must tackle the root causes, not only the symptoms.

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.(16)
The faster a given object is moving, the more energy it possesses. This kind of energy is called "kinetic energy", from
the Greek word kinesis, meaning motion. The faster a given object is moving, the greater its kinetic energy.
Imagine you're trying to hit a target with a bow and arrow. If you just throw the arrow with your hand, it won't go
very fast, and even if your aim is good, the arrow won't penetrate the target - it'll just bounce off!
But if you use the bow, you can shoot the arrow much faster. The faster the arrow is going, the more kinetic energy it
has. Kinetic energy is what allows the arrow to puncture the target.
Energy can never be created or destroyed, only transferred - moved from place to place. One way energy is moved
from place to place is by moving objects
Imagine hitting a tee ball with a bat. When you hit the ball with the bat, energy is transferred from the bat to the ball.
If you swing the bat slowly, the ball won't go very far when you hit it. But if you swing the bat faster, it will have more kinetic
energy. That energy will be transferred to the ball, and the ball will go much farther.
Energy can also be transferred through sound. Try high-fiving your friend very slowly. You probably won't make very
much sound. If you high-five at the normal speed, your hands each have more kinetic energy, and you'll make a nice smack.
What you're hearing is energy turned into sound. The same thing happens when you hit a drum, or pluck the strings of a guitar.
Energy can also be transferred through light. Light from the sun makes your body feel warmer. Plants use energy
from light and grow bigger and make oxygen.
Energy can also be transferred through electricity. This kind of energy can be used for almost anything. But
remember: Energy cannot be created. Energy in the form of electricity has to be transferred from another kind of energy. Wind
power uses a machine called a turbine that turns the energy of the wind into electricity. Coal, oil, and gas power burn different
kinds of material, creating heat that gets turned into electricity. Solar power generates electricity from the sun's light -
although not as easily as a plant.
Question 36: According to the passage, energy___________.
A. can be destroyed B. can be created
c. can be moved from place to place D. can be used to make the arrow
Question 37: What does the author list in the passage?
A. the different ways energy can be transferred
B. the different theories about energy transfer
c. the different types of energy
D. the problems with transferring energy through electricity
Question 38: Energy can be transferred through light. What evidence from the text supports this statement?
A. Energy is transferred when coal is burned.
B. A turbine changes wind energy into electricity,
c. Burning gas creates heat.
D. Light from the sun makes your body feel warmer.
Question 39: If drummers are playing their drums loudly, what can be concluded about how their hands are moving?
A. They must be moving slowly when they hit the drum.
 B. They must be moving quickly when they hit the drum,
c. They must be tapping the drum softly.
D. They must be resting on the drum.
Question 40: What is this passage mainly about?
A. What happens when you swing a baseball bat quickly
B. How energy makes sound
c. Different ways energy is transferred
D. Different ways electricity is produced
Question 41: What does the word “penetrate” in the passage mean?
A. pierce into B. bounce away from c. miss D. go around
Question 42: Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Energy cannot be transferred but it can be created.
B. Solar power generates electricity from the sun's light,
c. The faster you swing the bat, the farther the ball will go.
D. Plants can grow because they use energy from the light.
