Read the following text and answer the questions

Humans can neither change the sun's radiation nor the earth's orbit around the sun. But they can control the increase in the amount of greenhouse gases and its effect on the atmosphere. Only during the last hundred years the carbon dioxide concentration has been raised alarmingly in the atmosphere and we humans can be held responsible for this. The main cause of the increase in carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere is the burning of fossil fuels. Since the end of the 19th century, industrial activities increased rapidly giving rise to many factories. These factories required energy, which was produced through the combustion of coal. Besides coal, other sources of energy such as mineral oil and natural gas were also burned to heat our houses, run cars and airplanes or to produce electricity. Nowadays, about 85 million barrels of crude oil are burned daily. Every time a fossil raw material is burned, it releases carbon dioxide into the air.

Therefore, it is clear that more and more greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide are being generated worldwide by humans. Moreover, we are also strengthening the greenhouse effect by deforestation, which means cutting down trees. Every year enormous areas of forests are destroyed by people to obtain wood and to clear regions for mining and to create pasture. This loss of the forest causes dual problems. Trees that are burned up release large volumes of carbon dioxide gas into the air. On the other hand, as forests absorb a lot of carbon dioxide from the air and deliver oxygen instead, we also destroy an important storehouse of carbon dioxide when we clear forests.

Read the following text carefully and answer the questions (4 and 5).

Liang Wenfeng is a Chinese entrepreneur and Al researcher born in 1985 in Mililing village, Tanba town, Wuchuan, Guangdong, China. Both his parents worked as primary school teachers. He studied at Zhejiang University where he obtained a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronic Information Engineering in 2007 and a Master's in Information & Communication Engineering in 2010.

In July 2023, Líang founded DeepSeek, an Al company based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, focused on developing large language models (LLMs) and artificial general intelligence (AGI). DeepSeek is funded by High-Flyer. One of its first major achievements was the launch of DeepSeek-R1 on 20 January 2025: this is a 671-billion-parameter reasoning model, built using 2,048 Nvidia H800 GPUs, at a cost of about US$5.6 million, emphasising resource efficiency. DeepSeek-R1 was released with detailed technical documentation and made open source.

Shortly after its release, the DeepSeek app overtook ChatGPT to become the #1 free app on the US iOS App Store, causing significant attention and disruptions in markets. On 27 January 2025, the day after DeepSeek's launch, Nvidia's shares dropped as much as 17%, wiping out nearly US$593 billion in market value. This loss marked what many described as the largest one-day market capitalization loss ever for a U.S. company.
