II. Read the following passages then choose the correct heading for each following
paragraph. There’s one redundant.(10 marks)
1. People often think that the animal world is full of conflict. However, conflict and aggression
actually play a smaller role in the wild than cooperation. In fact, according to Conniff, both
humans and other primates are social creatures, and both groups normally try to avoid conflict.
Chimpanzees, for example, typically spend their days caring for their young and traveling together
in small groups. Conniff points out that chimps spend about 5 percent of the day being aggressive,
but 15 to 20 percent of the day groomingeach other. For humans and other primates, conflict is
rare and does not last long. For both species, cooperation is a more effective way to succeed and survive.
2. Groups of coworkers and primate groups have similar social rules. In both cases, the groups
organize themselves into hierarchies, and individual members know their roles. Individuals in
both human and ape groups have a particular position in relation to other group members. This
decides their behavior in the group. For example, young people may speak softly or avoid eye
contact when they talk to people with higher status. Similarly, Conniff explains that when
chimpanzees approach a powerful or senior member, they try to make themselves look as small as they can.
3. One of the biggest dangers facing african elephants is hunting by poachers—people who illegally
catch or kill animals for profit. Poachers kill elephants so they can remove and sell their valuable
ivory tusks. ivory is usually made into jewelry and art objects. although the ivory trade is banned
in most countries, ivory is often smuggledin and sold illegally. Between 2010 and 2012, poachers
killed over 100,000 african elephants. In central Africa, the elephant population has decreased by
64 percent in a decade. Poachers have shortened these animals’ life spans and disrupted their close communities.
4. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, large urban areas began to grow and
spread. Many people viewed cities largely in negative terms—crowded, dirty,
unhealthy places full of disease and crime. People feared that as cities got
bigger, living conditions would get worse. Recent decades, however, have
seena widespread change in attitudes toward urbanization.1 Many experts
believe that urbanization is good news. Although negative aspects such as
pollution and urban slums remain serious problems, many urban planners
now believe big cities might help solve the problem of Earth’s growing population.
5. How big an impact do “food miles” have on the environment? in some parts of the
world, food—such as grains, fruit, and vegetables—travels over 2,400
kilometers to getto consumers. in 2016, the United Kingdom imported about 3

half of its food from other countries. This food is flown or shipped into the
country and then transported to towns and cities in trucks. Food
transportation trucks produce a quarter of transport-related greenhouse gas
emissions—a major cause of global warming. And with an expanding
population, these issues are only likely to increase. if producers and
consumers are serious about slowing global warming, growing—and buying—
more food locally could reduce “food miles.”
