שאלה 1
Read the passage: "As cities around the world continue to grow, urban farming has emerged as more than just a trend among hobbyists; it is increasingly viewed as a practical response to challenges in food security and environmental sustainability. Rooftop gardens, vertical farming towers, and repurposed warehouse spaces now produce vegetables, herbs, and even fish within city limits, dramatically shortening the distance food travels from farm to table. Proponents argue this reduces transportation emissions and provides fresher produce to urban residents who might otherwise live in so-called food deserts, areas with limited access to affordable, healthy food. However, urban farming faces real limitations: the initial cost of specialized equipment, such as climate-controlled vertical farming systems, can be prohibitively expensive, and the energy required to power artificial lighting sometimes offsets the environmental benefits of shorter transportation. Critics also note that urban farms, even at scale, can only supply a small fraction of a city's total food needs, meaning they should be viewed as a valuable supplement to traditional agriculture rather than a wholesale replacement for it." What is the relationship between the two paragraphs of this passage?

גthe second paragraph is simply a word-for-word repetition of the first
דthe two paragraphs discuss entirely separate and unrelated topics

שאלה 2
Read the passage: "Octopuses possess a level of intelligence that puzzles scientists, largely because their brains evolved along a completely different path from those of mammals. Rather than concentrating neurons in a single central brain, an octopus distributes roughly two-thirds of its neurons throughout its eight arms, allowing each arm to process information and react semi-independently. This unusual architecture lets an octopus solve problems, such as opening a jar to reach food inside, without conscious oversight from the central brain for every movement. Laboratory studies have shown octopuses learning to navigate mazes, recognize individual human faces, and even use coconut shells as portable shelters, a behavior some researchers classify as tool use. Despite this apparent cleverness, octopuses live remarkably short lives, often only one to two years, which makes their capacity for complex learning even more puzzling: there is little time for an individual to benefit from lessons learned early in life. Some scientists suggest their intelligence evolved primarily to solve immediate survival problems, such as escaping predators, rather than for long-term planning."

שאלה 3
Read the passage: "For centuries, the spice trade shaped global politics far more than most people today realize. Spices such as pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg were once so valuable in Europe that they were sometimes used as currency or even as a measure of wealth comparable to gold. This extraordinary value stemmed largely from geography: many of the most sought-after spices grew only in specific regions of South and Southeast Asia, forcing European traders to rely on long, dangerous routes controlled by intermediaries. The desire to bypass these intermediaries and access spices directly was a major motivation behind several famous voyages of exploration, including those seeking a sea route to Asia around Africa. Portuguese and later Dutch traders eventually established direct maritime routes, dramatically lowering spice prices in Europe and shifting economic power toward nations with strong navies. Ironically, the very success of these expeditions gradually reduced the extreme value of spices, since increased supply naturally drove prices down, illustrating how economic scarcity, not the spices themselves, had driven so much of history's ambition."

Read the passage: "The popular claim that human attention spans have shrunk to less than that of a goldfish has circulated widely online, but the scientific basis for this claim is far shakier than its popularity suggests. The comparison originates from a frequently cited but never properly verified statistic, and researchers who study attention argue that the concept itself is far too complex to summarize with a single number. Attention is not one uniform ability; a person's capacity to focus varies enormously depending on the task, their level of interest, and how information is presented. Some studies do suggest that constant digital notifications can make sustained, focused attention on a single task more difficult to maintain, but this is a different claim from saying overall attention capacity has permanently declined. Psychologists studying digital habits caution against treating attention as a fixed resource that technology simply drains, arguing instead that people are adapting to a media environment where switching between tasks happens more frequently, which is a change in behavior patterns rather than proof of a shrinking biological capacity."
