II. Read the text and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
What is the importance of preserving cultural heritage?
The cultural heritage and its history show the identity and values of a country, which can be introduced
to the world. Therefore, it is important to preserve cultural heritage such as historical sites, buildings,
landmarks and even monuments. Another reason for preserving one's heritage and culture is that
traditional values and customs should be passed down from one generation to the next. The value of
this is very important for not only the minority groups but also the bigger nations.
So, what can we do to help preserve cultural heritage?
It simply starts with raising young people's awareness. A nation is able to preserve their cultural
heritage through education. The future generation should be taught and encouraged to learn about the
importance of the cultural heritage at school. In the modern world, social media also plays an
extremely important role in creating awareness and building an appreciation towards the local culture
and traditions.
Besides, we should control local tourism and avoid its negative effects although it also helps us to
introduce our cultural heritage. Each tourism destination should identify an acceptable level of
travelers. This also helps to prevent overcrowding and creates a better visitor experience.
We should begin to take an active role in conserving our cultural assets for future generations.

III. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Due to natural disasters or man-made damages during the war, a great deal of historical sites and
artifacts have been damaged. It is difficult to repair these sites, as it may take a lot of time, cost, and
there is a lack of the information on how the original work actually looked. Rebuilding cultural
heritage sites and artifacts is similar to solving a big jigsaw puzzle without knowing what it should
look like - everything starts from the beginning and guesses.
One project has been run by a group of scientists to help with the time-consuming restoration of
the heritage sites. The technologies in the project are robotics, 3-D scanning, modern machines and
artificial intelligence.
These artifact pieces are scanned by high-tech computers to predict their original architecture.
Throughout the process, the computer system is guided by humans to ensure that the pieces are
accurately rebuilt. The computer software collects all pieces and connects them together to draw a
picture of what the original heritage site looked like.
The second component brings robots into the workplace. The robot should be able to scan those
pieces of a heritage site on its own, and connects them together as a complete one. The robot looks like
an average person to save a large amount of time and human resources when gathering the information
about the heritage sites.
