Everyone knows that good sleep is vitally important for our health. Not everyone knows how important it is
to sleep in the dark. A new report says that sleeping with the light on could be bad for our health.
Researchers say that turning off the light when we sleep helps to keep away diabetes and heart diseases.
Sleeping with the light on could increase the risk of getting these diseases. The researchers said that around
40 percent of people sleep with some sort of artificial light. They said even the light from a television or
alarm clock could affect our health. They added that the worst thing to sleep with is a main light. Sleeping in
the dark is more difficult for people who live in cities where there is a lot of outdoor light at night.
The researchers are from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, USA. Dr
Phyllis Zee, who is an expert in sleep medicine, is the lead researcher. She said that it is healthier for us to
turn off all lights when we sleep. Her team conducted a study of the blood sugar levels of 20 people after
nights of sleep. The people who slept with a light on had higher blood sugar levels the next morning
compared to those who slept in total darkness. Dr. Zee said this is because light stimulates brain activity,
which raises blood sugar levels. She said there are three things we can do to reduce the risk of illness. The
first thing is we should turn off the lights. Moreover, we should never sleep with white or blue light. Finally,

2
it is a good idea to use a blackout curtain or wear an eye mask.

Experts estimate that over 50% of the global population currently lives in cities, and by 2050, this percentage is
expected to reach 70%. Megacities, defined as cities with over 10 million people, are becoming more common, and
the concept of mega-regions, interconnected clusters of megacities, is also gaining prominence. These megacities

surrounding areas. Examples of megacities include Sao Paulo, New York, and Tokyo, which is the largest megacity

form a mega-region. These mega-regions hold significant economic power, with 66% of global economic activity and

The Chinese government has removed pangolin scales from its 2020 list of approved ingredients used in
traditional Chinese medicine, a move campaigners describe as a “critical step” towards saving the world’s most
trafficked mammal.
Pangolins are highly valued in Asia for scales, which many people believe can improve blood circulation
and reduce inflammation. Last year alone, authorities confiscated more than 130 tons of illegal pangolin related
products. There are eight species of pangolin found in Asia and Africa. To date, three species are listed as
critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, while the remaining five are listed
as either vulnerable or endangered.
According to Chinese media, the latest edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia - an official government list of
drugs covering approved traditional Chinese and Western medicines - no longer includes pangolin scales. The
decision to remove the pangolin from the official list comes just days after China’s State Forestry and Grassland
Bureau announced that the Chinese pangolin would be upgraded to a “first-level protected wild animal,” the
highest possible protection status alongside pandas and tigers.
While conservationists from China and other countries have praised the actions of Chinese authorities,
some still felt that they came a bit too late. “Many years have passed. How many pangolins have already been
hunted and killed?” said Sophia Zhang, director of the Pangolin Working Group at the China Biodiversity
Conservation and Green Development Foundation.
(Adapted from edition.cnn.com)
Question 31: What is the best title for this passage?
A. What We Can All Do To Protect Pangolins
B. Why Are Chinese Pangolins Under Threat?
C. Pangolin Scales: How Valuable Are They?
D. A Big Step In The Protection Of Pangolins
Question 32: The word “confiscated” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. robbed B. detained C. arrested D. seized
Question 33: How have conservationists in China and in other countries react to the Chinese government’s
actions?
A. They are pleased but some felt that actions should have been taken sooner.
B. They believe these actions are useless, given the number of pangolins killed.

 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate
In the near term, the goal of keeping AI’s impact on society beneficial motivates research in many areas,
from economics and law to technical topics such as verification, validity, security and control. Whereas it
may be little more than a minor nuisance if your laptop crashes or gets hacked, it becomes all the more
important that an AI system does what you want it to do if it controls your car, your airplane, your
pacemaker, your automated trading system or your power grid. Another short-term challenge is preventing
a devastating arms race in lethal autonomous weapons.
In the long term, an important question is what will happen if the quest for strong AI succeeds and an AI
system becomes better than humans at all cognitive tasks. Such a system could potentially undergo
recursive self-improvement, triggering an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind. By
inventing revolutionary new technologies, such a super-intelligence might help us eradicate war, disease,
and poverty, and so the creation of strong AI might be the biggest event in human history. Some experts
have expressed concern, though, that it might also be the last, unless we learn to align the goals of the AI
with ours before it becomes super-intelligent.
There are some who question whether strong AI will ever be achieved, and others who insist that the
creation of super-intelligent AI is guaranteed to be beneficial. At FLI we recognize both of these
possibilities, but also recognize the potential for an artificial intelligence system to intentionally or
unintentionally cause great harm. We believe research today will help us better prepare for and prevent
such potentially negative consequences in the future, thus enjoying the benefits of AI while avoiding
pitfalls.
Question 31. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Transcending complacency on super-intelligent machines.
B. No time like the present for AI safety work.
C. The importance of researching AI safety.
D. Challenges to ensuring the safety of AI systems.
Question 32. According to paragraph 1, what is NOT mentioned as a potential benefit of AI?
A. Facilitating the identification system. B. Managing the electricity in homes.
C. Controlling vehicles and gadgets. D. Curing life-threatening diseases.
Question 33. The word “recursive” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. powerful B. repeated C. impossible D. monotonous
Question 34. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. event B. human C. history D. poverty
Question 35. According to paragraph 3, which information is incorrect about the future of AI?
A. We cannot deny the likelihood of AI turning on its creator – the human.
B. The emergence of super-intelligence will yield valuable benefits for human.
C. One of the focus of AI system nowadays should be preparation and preventive measures.
D. The probability of malicious artificial intelligence is an unexpected zero.
