Read the passage and answer the questions below.

The Saola is one of the rarest animals in the world. Local people often call it the "Asian Unicorn" because of its long, straight horns. This shy creature lives deep in the Annamite Mountains, along the border between Vietnam and Laos. Although scientists desperately want to protect the beautiful Saola, it is extremely difficult to find. In fact, no scientist has ever confirmed seeing a live Saola in the wild - the only proof of its existence comes from rare camera-trap photos, the last one taken in 2013.

Fortunately, modern technology is offering new hope for the species. Today, scientists use special recording devices called camera traps. By attaching these small, automatic cameras to tall trees, they can silently capture photos of any wild animals that walk past. Because the massive forest is home to so many different creatures, researchers collect thousands of photographs every month. However, reviewing such a huge number of images by hand is an exhausting and time-consuming task for humans.

This is exactly where Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes to the rescue. AI is a smart computer program that can learn and process information incredibly fast. Instead of humans looking at every picture, the program analyzes the photos to spot the Saola quickly. It can easily tell the difference between a common deer and a rare Saola. Once the software identifies a Saola, scientists learn its exact location. They can then work to create safe zones that protect these animals from illegal hunters. Although the Asian Unicorn remains a highly endangered species, AI is finally giving us a real chance to save it.

Which of the following best serves as the main idea of the passage?

  • The history of the Annamite Mountains and its rare animals.

  • How artificial intelligence is being used to save the Saola.

  • The reasons why scientists want to take photos of wildlife.

  • The physical characteristics and daily habits of the Saola.

All of the following are true about the Saola EXCEPT _____.

  • It lives along the mountainous border between Vietnam and Laos.
  • Its existence was last proven by a photograph taken in 2013.
  • Scientists have observed live Saolas in the wild once a year.

  • It is currently considered one of the rarest animals in the world.

What can be inferred about the manual review of camera trap photos?

  • It is the most accurate method to confirm a Saola's identity.

  • It requires more automated cameras than researchers possess.

  • It is highly preferred by scientists despite being very slow.

  • It delays the process of locating and protecting the species.

According to paragraph 3, what is one major benefit of using AI?

  • It can quickly distinguish between a Saola and a deer.
  • It can automatically attach camera traps to tall trees.
  • It forcefully stops illegal hunters from entering the forest.
  • It takes thousands of photographs of animals every month.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.

Magnets are fascinating objects that we encounter every single day, often without even realizing it. While natural magnets attract metal naturally, humans have invented electromagnets, which rely on electricity to function. When an electric current flows through a wire wrapped around an iron core, a temporary magnetic force is generated. One major of this technology is flexibility: the magnetic force can be turned on or off instantly with a simple switch. This mechanism allows giant electromagnets in recycling yards to lift heavy scrap metal and it somewhere else effortlessly. Moreover, modern high-speed trains use magnetic levitation to above the tracks, reducing friction significantly. No matter how large or small a magnet is, it always possesses two poles—north and south. As technology advances, scientists continue to discover incredible applications for magnetism in everyday life.

In April 2026, three dedicated researchers received the prestigious Breakthrough Prize, which is often called the Oscar of Science, for their incredible achievement. After twenty-five years of intense scientific persistence, they successfully developed an innovative genetic therapy that is known as Luxturna to treat a rare condition that causes childhood blindness. Before this specific treatment was created, young patients who suffered from this severe genetic disease gradually lost their vision until they eventually became completely blind. The new therapy works by directly addressing a tiny mistake within the biological code, and it provides a truly lasting medical solution. During the specialized procedure, doctors carefully inject a harmless virus into the eye, which then delivers a healthy copy of the missing gene. Consequently, the newly repaired eye tissues can properly produce the essential proteins for normal light detection. As a direct result of this pioneering procedure, many young children have dramatically improved their visual abilities in a remarkably short time. For the very first time in their lives, these young patients can clearly observe the bright stars and easily recognize their parents' faces. Although the genetic treatment remains quite expensive today, the scientific community believes that similar biological methods will eventually cure other complex disorders.

The researchers spent more than two decades developing the medical therapy.
