The kiwi

The kiwi is a fascinating and special bird, which cannot fly, unlike most other bird species. Native to New Zealand, it is also a(n) (26) endangered species. It is estimated that there were once millions of kiwis in the country. However, there has been a rapid decrease in their population with (27) fewer than 70.000 left in the wild today. Historically, the decline was the result of the birds being hunted for meat, skins, and feathers. There are still two other threats to their survival: (28) habitat loss and predators. Deforestation has considerably reduced areas of natural forests. Many of them have been converted into farmland or towns (29) for economic purposes. This has reduced the kiwi's natural habitat and pushed them into areas (30) where they are more vulnerable to predators such as dogs and wild cats. These predators often eat kiwi eggs or attack young kiwis. That is why New Zealand has launched a plan to save their national bird from extinction.

Tạm dịch

Kiwi là một loài chim hấp dẫn và đặc biệt, không thể bay, không giống như hầu hết các loài chim khác. Có nguồn gốc từ New Zealand, nó cũng là một loài có nguy cơ tuyệt chủng. Người ta ước tính rằng đã từng có hàng triệu con kiwi ở nước này. Tuy nhiên, số lượng của chúng đã giảm nhanh chóng với ít hơn 70.000 con còn sót lại trong tự nhiên ngày nay. Trong lịch sử, sự suy giảm là kết quả của việc các loài chim bị săn lùng để lấy thịt, da và lông. Vẫn còn hai mối đe dọa khác đối với sự sinh tồn của chúng: mất môi trường sống và động vật ăn thịt. Nạn phá rừng đã làm giảm đáng kể diện tích rừng tự nhiên. Nhiều người trong số họ đã được chuyển đổi thành đất nông nghiệp hoặc thị trấn cho mục đích kinh tế. Điều này đã làm giảm môi trường sống tự nhiên của kiwi và đẩy chúng vào những khu vực nơi chúng dễ bị tổn thương hơn trước những kẻ săn mồi như chó và mèo hoang. Những kẻ săn mồi này thường ăn trứng kiwi hoặc tấn công kiwi non. Đó là lý do tại sao New Zealand đã đưa ra kế hoạch cứu loài chim quốc gia của mình khỏi nguy cơ tuyệt chủng.

Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

(Đọc đoạn văn sau và khoanh tròn chữ cái A, B, C hoặc D để chỉ ra câu trả lời đúng cho mỗi câu hỏi từ 36 đến 42.)

Biodiversity on our planet is rapidly declining mainly due to human activities such as climate change and pollution. That is why governments and organisations have taken measures to protect wildlife and stop biodiversity loss. The emergence of artificial intelligence has dramatically changed wildlife protection. Conservationists are now turning to AI to find solutions to the rapid loss of plants and animals.

One of the biggest threats to endangered species is poaching for commercial purposes. Therefore, it is essential to stop this illegal activity in forests and nature reserves. However, rangers, whose job is to take care of such large areas, find it hard to monitor wildlife and prevent poaching. That is why many national parks are using AI cameras to track both animals and poachers. Furthermore, the cameras can send real-time updates to rangers' phones and alert them to any illegal activities within minutes. The cutting-edge technology is even effective at night when poachers operate under cover of darkness. The AI cameras are designed to automatically notice any illegal cars or boats entering forests or other protected areas.

Another factor responsible for the decline in biodiversity is habitat loss. When natural habitats or environmental conditions change, it's nearly impossible for scientists to identify the changes until they discover strong evidence. For example, some countries have faced increasing pressure from climate change and economic growth, and have lost a huge amount of surface water. However, the situation has only been discovered with the help of artificial intelligence. Without AI, scientists could not have identified and analysed the changes nationwide. AI has played an important role in collecting data and analysing the factors affecting wildlife, thus helping governments and organisations respond to critical situations in the quickest way possible.
