Text CB1A2
Spending time in space and having an unrivalled view of
planet Earth is an experience many of us dream of, but the
human body evolved to function in the gravity of Earth. So fully
recovering from spending time in the weightlessness of space can
take years.
“It’s a fact that space is by far the most extreme
environment that humans have ever encountered and we’ve just
not evolved to handle the extreme conditions,” Professor Damian
Bailey, who studies human physiology, says. To begin with, the
heart and blood vessels have an easier time as they no longer
have to pump blood against gravity — and they start to weaken.
And the bones become weaker and more brittle. There should be
a balance between the cells breaking down old bone and those
making new, but that balance is disrupted without the feedback
and resistance of working against gravity. “Every month, about
1% of bones and muscles are going to wither away — it’s
accelerated ageing,” Professor Bailey says.
Microgravity also distorts the vestibular system, which is
how you balance and sense which way is up. In space, there is no
up, down or sideways. It can be disorientating when you go
up — and again when you return to Earth.

The pursuit of space exploration represents one of the
most captivating undertakings of the human race, serving as a
testament to our inherent drive to comprehend the cosmos and
our position within it. As humanity expands its reach beyond the
confines of Earth, the intricate and essential relationship between
technology and law grows increasingly intricate and
indispensable.
The rapid progress of technology has ushered us into an
era when endeavours in outer space, previously confined to the
realm of science fiction, are now becoming tangible and feasible.
The present circumstances require a comprehensive legal
structure encompassing the existing range of space endeavours
and the flexibility to accommodate dynamic technological
advancements. The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 set the
foundational legal principles governing space exploration
activities. However, as humanity continues to explore space and
private companies participate alongside sovereign nations, the
intersection of technology and law serves as both a catalyst for
progress and a cause of disagreement.

Text 1A4-I
By the middle years of the 20th century, the optimistic
story of limitless progress through scientific and technological
advance came to be rivalled and sometimes overshadowed by a
much more pessimistic, even apocalyptic vision of the trajectory
of the modern project. It began to seem increasingly possible that
technology would come to master its creators and carry humanity
toward unforeseen and possibly catastrophic outcomes.
Premonitions of technological wizardry leading to
disasters are extremely old, dating back at least to the myth of
Icarus, who is said to have fatally fallen into the sea after flying
too close to the sun on wings his father, Daedalus, constructed.
As the Industrial Revolution gathered steam, dark anticipations
became increasingly widespread, in works such as Mary
Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus and Karel
Capek’s R.U.R. Perhaps technology, not man, was “in the
saddle,” as Henry Adams worried. And perhaps machines,
becoming ever more capable and interconnected, were the next
step in the evolution of life, destined to dominate and eventually
eliminate humanity, as Samuel Butler warned. The contours of
the future, H. G. Wells announced in one of his famous lectures,
“The Discovery of the Future,” were difficult to discern but
would surely be unlike the past or the present, and definitely
included disasters of new types and magnitudes.
In the ghastly world wars, technological advances
empowered barbarism on a new scale, destroying the credibility
of the simple modernist faith that more potent tools are a straight
path to human betterment. Rather, technological advance has
produced a cornucopia of double-edged swords, with amplified
possibilities for both progress and disaster. A growing herd of
horsemen of the anthropogenic apocalypse have ominously
appeared on the human horizon of possibility: nuclear weapons,
genetic engineering, total surveillance despotism, runaway
artificial intelligence, and rampant environmental decay.

and the Ends of Humanity. New York: Oxford University Press, 2020 (adapted).

In the 1980s, plant genetic resources were considered
under international law to be a common heritage of mankind, and
were therefore classified as goods that cannot be owned.
However, this status was strongly rejected by many emerging
countries because it gave pharmaceutical and seed companies
(mostly from rich countries) free access to their genetic resources
without being required in any way to redistribute a share of their
profits.
These countries scored a victory with the signing of the
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 1992 and the
TRIPS agreement in 1995. Genetic resources now come under
the control of sovereign countries, and some property rights can
be recognized to the indigenous communities on the resources
that they have been conserving from generation to generation.
States are now required to organize these “collective intellectual
property rights” in such a way that any local resource conserved
in this manner will generate dividends for these populations when
used by multinational firms.
The now well-known concept of Access to Genetic
Resources and Benefit-Sharing (ABS) emerged in the second half
of the 1990s. Their aim was to organize a biological diversity
marketplace capable of enhancing the value of the genetic
resources of countries of the South, which cannot refuse access to
these resources. In addition, these countries can now claim a
share of the profits that may result from their use.
In short, the change in the status of genetic resources from
common heritage of mankind to a good that can be owned under
national sovereignty took place in the early 1990s at the request
of countries of the South and to their benefit, and the ABS
mechanism is a fine example of intellectual property rights set up
in the interest of the people of these countries.
In a general sense, this analysis is fairly accurate and
could constitute an argument to be used against those who are of
the opinion that the spread of intellectual property rights is an
obstacle to the development of the South. However, the issue
today is whether the South gained anything by playing this card.
In answering this question, it is important to more clearly
emphasize the deep connection—often overlooked—between the
conservation of genetic resources and their practical use.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone
you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The
aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic
doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization,
every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor
and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme
leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended
in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by
all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary
masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of
this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their
misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged
position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the
great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will
come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the
near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment
the Earth is where we make our stand.”

Agriculture and fisheries are closely linked to climate,
making them vulnerable to changes in temperature, CO2 levels,
and extreme weather. While increased temperature and CO2 can
enhance some crop yields, this depends on factors like nutrient
levels, soil moisture, and water availability. More frequent
droughts and floods could challenge food production and safety,
while warming waters may shift fish habitats, disrupting
ecosystems. Overall, climate change may complicate traditional
methods of farming, livestock raising, and fishing.
Crop responses to temperature changes depend on each
crop's optimal growth temperature. Warmer conditions might
benefit certain crops or enable the cultivation of new ones, but
yields decline if temperatures exceed a crop's threshold.
Increased CO2 can enhance plant growth under controlled
conditions but may be offset by water, nutrient, and temperature
constraints. Additionally, elevated CO2 reduces the protein and
nitrogen content in crops like soybeans and alfalfa, lowering their
quality and diminishing the forage value for livestock.
Extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, can
harm crops and reduce yields. For example, high nighttime
temperatures in 2010 and 2012 lowered U.S. corn yields, while
premature budding caused $ 220 million in losses for Michigan
cherries in 2012. Rising summer temperatures may also dry soils,
complicating drought management. Increased irrigation could
help, but reduced water availability might limit its feasibility.
Climate change also favors weeds, pests, and fungi, which
thrive in warmer, wetter conditions with higher CO2 levels. This
could expose crops to new threats and increase farming costs.
U.S. farmers already spend over $ 11 billion annually on weed
control, and these challenges are likely to grow as weed and pest
ranges expand.
While rising CO2 stimulates plant growth, it also lowers
the nutritional value of major crops like wheat, rice, and
soybeans by reducing their protein and mineral content. This
poses a potential risk to human health. Additionally, increased
pest pressure may lead to higher pesticide use, further impacting
health and reducing pesticide effectiveness. Climate change,
therefore, presents multifaceted challenges to food production,
nutrition, and ecosystems.

Climate change poses significant challenges to cattle farming, a sector vital to global food security. Among the most pressing concerns is the increasing frequency and intensity of droughts. Reduced rainfall diminishes pasture quality and availability, limiting feed for livestock and increasing water scarcity. This can lead to decreased animal growth rates, reduced milk production, and increased mortality rates. Moreover, prolonged droughts can contribute to desertification, shrinking available grazing land and forcing farmers to adopt costly alternative feeding strategies.
Beyond drought, other climate-related impacts include heat stress, which can significantly impact animal health and productivity. Rising temperatures can exacerbate heat stress, leading to decreased feed intake, reduced fertility, and increased mortality in livestock. Furthermore, extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall and flooding, can cause infrastructure damage, contaminate water sources, and lead to the loss of livestock.
The cattle farming sector itself contributes to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions, primarily methane produced during animal digestion and nitrous oxide from manure management. Deforestation for pasture expansion also releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide.
To address these challenges, a multi-pronged approach is crucial.
• Genetic selection: Breeding programs focused on developing drought-resistant livestock breeds are vital. and heat-tolerant
• Sustainable feeding strategies: Implementing precision feeding techniques, improving feed efficiency, and exploring alternative drought-resistant forage livestock resilience. feed sources, varieties, such as can enhance
• Integrated farming systems: Integrating crop and livestock production, such as through agroforestry systems, can improve soil health, enhance water retention, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Technological innovations: Utilizing technologies such as precision livestock farming, remote sensing for pasture monitoring, and renewable energy sources can improve resource efficiency and reduce the environmental footprint of cattle production.
Furthermore, strong policy support, including incentives for sustainable farming practices, investments in research and development, and improved access to climate information services, are essential for the long-term sustainability of the cattle farming sector.
Addressing the challenges posed by climate change requires a collaborative effort involving farmers, researchers, policymakers, and consumers. By embracing innovative solutions, prioritizing sustainable practices, and fostering a collective understanding of the importance of climate-resilient livestock production, we can ensure a future when this vital sector continues to thrive while minimizing its environmental impact.

WHAT IS THE COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH?
In the Communicative Approach, real communication and interaction is not only the objective in learning, but also the means through which it takes place. This approach started in the 70s and became prominent as it proposed an alternative to the then ubiquitous systems-oriented approaches, such as the Audiolingual method. That means that, instead of focusing on the acquisition of grammar and vocabulary (grammatical/linguistic competence), the Communicative Approach aimed at developing the learner’s competence to communicate in the target language (communicative competence), with an enhanced focus on real-life situations.

ELF: English as a lingua franca
The Vienna Oxford International Corpus of English
(VOICE), a collection of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF)
currently under construction, defines lingua franca as an
additionally acquired language system that serves as a
means of communication for speakers from different speech
communities, who use it to communicate with each other but
for whom it is not their native language.
Early findings from the VOICE corpus tentatively identify
a number of features which point to systematic lexicogrammatical differences between native-speaker English and
ELF, for example dropping the third person present tense ‘s’
(e.g. she wear), omitting definite and indefinite articles,
insertion of prepositions (e.g. can we discuss about this
issue). These features are not a threat to comprehension, as
they involve typical errors that most English teachers would
correct and remediate. However, Seidlhofer (2004) points out
that they appear to be generally unproblematic and do not
cause an obstacle to communicative success in ELF.
The work of Jenkins (1996, 2000, 2004, 2005) has also
been very influential in relation to the teaching of pronunciation
for ELF. Her research finds that a number of items common to
most native-speaker varieties of English were not necessary
in successful ELF interactions; for example, the substitution
of voiceless and voiced th with /t/ or /s/ and /d/ or /z/ (e.g.
think became sink or tink, and this became dis or zis). Jenkins
argues that such features occur regularly in ELF interactions
and do not cause intelligibility problems.
Problems may arise in the (perhaps unfair) equation
between a reduced or ‘stripped down’ ELF syllabus and an
impoverished experience of the L2. Indeed, it could be argued
that learners of any language always end up producing less
than the input they are exposed to, and that if that input itself
is deliberately restricted, then even less will be the outcome.

TEXT II
Uses of AI in Education
In May 2023, the U.S. Department of Education released a
report titled Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching and
Learning: Insights and Recommendations. The department had
conducted listening sessions in 2022 with more than 700 people,
including educators and parents, to gauge their views on AI. The
report noted that “constituents believe that action is required now
in order to get ahead of the expected increase of AI in education
technology – and they want to roll up their sleeves and start
working together.” People expressed anxiety about “future
potential risks” with AI but also felt that “AI may enable achieving
educational priorities in better ways, at scale, and with lower
costs.
AI could serve – or is already serving – in several teachingand-learning roles, for instance:
instructional assistants: AI’s ability to conduct human-like
conversations opens up possibilities for adaptive tutoring or
instructional assistants that can help explain difficult concepts to
students. AI-based feedback systems can offer constructive
critiques on student writing, which can help students fine-tune
their writing skills. Some research also suggests certain kinds of
prompts can help children generate more fruitful questions about
learning. AI models might also support customized learning for
students with disabilities and provide translation for English
language learners; and teaching assistants: AI might tackle some
of the administrative tasks that keep teachers from investing more
time with their peers or students. Early uses include automated
routine tasks such as drafting lesson plans, creating differentiated
materials, designing worksheets, developing quizzes, and
exploring ways of explaining complicated academic materials. AI
can also provide educators with recommendations to meet
student needs and help teachers reflect, plan, and improve their
practice.
Along with these potential benefits come some difficult
challenges and risks the education community must navigate. For
example, both teachers and students face the risk of becoming
overly reliant on AI-driven technology. For students, this could
stifle learning, especially the development of critical thinking. This
challenge extends to educators as well. While AI can expedite
lesson-plan generation, speed does not equate to quality.
Teachers may be tempted to accept the initial AI-generated
content rather than devote time to reviewing and refining it for
optimal educational value.
In light of these challenges, the Department of Education has
stressed the importance of keeping “humans in the loop” when
using AI, particularly when the output might be used to inform a
decision. As the department encouraged in its 2023 report,
teachers, learners, and others need to retain their agency. AI
cannot “replace a teacher, a guardian, or an education leader as
the custodian of their students’ learning,” the report stressed.

2024 first year to pass 1.5C global warming limit
By Mark Poynting, Erwan Rivault and Becky Dale
Global warming is nearing a critical point, as 2024
became the first calendar year with an average temperature
of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, according to The
European Copernicus Climate Service.
While it doesn’t mean the Paris Agreement target
of keeping the long-term average below 1.5°C has
been breached, it highlights how close we are to
exceeding it. The rise in global temperatures is primarily
caused by fossil fuel emissions, which continue to increase
despite international agreements.
Climate scientist Ella Gilbert emphasized
the devastating effects of global warming, pointing to
events like the Los Angeles wildfires and the floods in
Valencia. These disasters are a clear example of extreme
weather becoming more frequent and dangerous.
However, she stressed it was not too late to act.
Every reduction in emissions and degree of warming can
significantly decrease the impact of future disasters.
Action must come from governments, businesses, and
individuals alike.
