KUSHAN EMPIRE
I. The Kushan Empire was a significant cultural and political entity that flourished in
Central Asia and Northern India between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE. Its origins trace
back to the Yuezhi, a nomadic group from the steppes of Central Asia. They established
control over Bactria, a Hellenistic region, blending Greek, Persian, and Indian influences.
The Kushans were instrumental in fostering trade along the Silk Road, connecting the East
and West. Under their rule, arts, religion, and commerce flourished, making them a vital
link in the ancient world's cultural and economic exchanges.
II. The Kushan Empire spanned a vast territory, including present-day Afghanistan,
Pakistan, Northern India, and parts of Central Asia. It was strategically located along major
trade routes, particularly the Silk Road. The empire's geographic position allowed it to act
 BAGDAD 2025

as a bridge between the Mediterranean, China, and Indian spheres of influences. This
connectivity facilitated not only trade but also the exchange of ideas, technologies, and
cultural practices. The Kushans expanded their influence through military conquests and
diplomacy, securing their position as a dominant power in the region for over two
centuries.
III. The Kushan Empire was pivotal in the flourishing of the Silk Road, a network of trade
routes connecting Asia to Europe. The empire served as a hub for the exchange of goods
such as silk, spices, gemstones, and textiles. Kushan coins, widely circulated, reflect their
role in trade and economic integration. The Kushans also promoted caravanserais and
security along trade routes, ensuring safe passage for merchants. This vibrant trade
network enriched the empire economically and culturally, fostering interactions between
diverse civilizations.
IV. Kushan art is a testament to the empire's diverse cultural influences, blending Greek,
Indian, Persian, and Central Asian styles. The Gandhara School of Art, which thrived during
their reign, is renowned for its Greco-Buddhist sculptures, particularly depictions of the
Buddha. The Kushans were patrons of various art forms, including architecture, sculpture,
and coinage. These artistic expressions not only reflected their cosmopolitan society but
also played a significant role in spreading Buddhist iconography and religious ideas across
Asia.
V. The Kushan Empire was a melting pot of religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism,
Zoroastrianism, and Greek polytheism. They were instrumental in the spread of Buddhism
to Central Asia and China. Emperor Kanishka, a notable Kushan ruler, convened the Fourth
Buddhist Council, which contributed to the development of Mahayana Buddhism. The
empire's tolerance and support for multiple faiths fostered a rich spiritual environment,
influencing religious practices far beyond its borders.
VI. The decline of the Kushan Empire began in the 3rd century CE due to internal conflicts
and external invasions, particularly by the Sassanid Empire and the Gupta Empire. Despite
its fall, the Kushan Empire left a lasting legacy. It played a critical role in the cultural and
economic integration of the ancient world. The empire's contributions to art, religion, and
trade continue to be studied and celebrated, highlighting its importance in the history of
Central and South Asia.

PART 4
Read the following text for question 21-29.
Penguins
 BAGDAD 2025

There are seventeen kinds of penguins in the world. They are all alike in some ways and all
cannot fly. All have dark backs and white fronts and live in the Southern Hemisphere near
the sea.
They differ in several ways. They can be as small as 16 inches or as tall as 4 feet. They
differ in the exact location they inhabit. Some live in the frigid climate of Antarctica.
Others can live along the coast of forested land. Galapagos penguins live three thousand
miles north of Antarctica in a tropical climate at the equator. All penguins live at or south
of the equator.
Some penguins are known for yellow or orange feathers on their heads. Some have a
single or double black band across their upper chest. Brush-tailed penguins have tails that
are longer than any other. The emperor and the king are called the giant penguins. The
little blue and the yellow-eyed are isolated types of penguins not related to any other.
Sometimes penguins are named by what they look like. Sometimes they are named based
on where they live.
Penguins have torpedo-shaped bodies, long and slim. They can move quickly and
gracefully through the sea. Their short wings and flippers move up and down swiftly. They
steer with their tails and feet. Penguins have solid bones. This helps them dive. They can
leap out of the water. They can travel twenty-five miles an hour for short distances. Some
types of penguins may live in one area in summer and travel a good distance for the
winter. The biggest penguins are the fastest swimmers and best divers. Emperors can dive
as much as fifteen hundred feet below the surface of the ocean for prey, though food is
much closer to them.
Penguins feed on fish, squid and krill. They have no teeth. Their tongues and roofs of their
mouths are covered with stiff spines which keep slippery prey inside. A penguin comes up
from below to strike a school of fish. In a few minutes a penguin can catch and eat a
hundred small fish or krill.
Wherever penguins swim, the water is cold. Their coat of small, scale-like feathers
protects them from the cold. Penguins can groom themselves by taking oil from a gland at
the base of their tails. With their beaks they spread this oil all over their feathers. This is
their way of waterproofing their bodies. A layer of stored fat under their skin also keeps
them warm. It gives them extra energy when needed too. In warmer climates penguins
may have bare skin on their faces to stay cooler.
Penguins could live all year in the sea but they must come ashore to mate and raise their
babies. Most nests are made by the male. Both parents help raise the babies. In warm
climates penguins must protect the eggs from the heat. Nests can be placed in crevices
and caves along the shore. Penguins in colder climates build nests on top of soil or rocks
out of pebbles. They are above ground to avoid being flooded by melting ice.
 BAGDAD 2025

In spring more than a million king penguins raise their young on South Georgia Island in
the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean. The male and female take turns holding a single
egg on top of their feet. They keep it warm by holding it up to a special warm area of their
belly skin called the brood patch. The other parent goes off to hunt for food.
In summary, all seventeen types of penguins in the world are alike in some ways. They are
all flightless birds. They have dark backs and white fronts and live near the sea in the
Southern Hemisphere.

PART 5
Read the following text for questions 30-35.
Australia’s flying foxes are ‘curious, gentle and intelligent’ – and often
misunderstood
Endangered spectacled flying foxes and vulnerable grey-headed flying foxes are
‘astonishing’ animals but misinformation is rife.
One of the most spectacular sights at Adelaide’s Womadelaide music festival is not on the
official lineup. As dusk approaches, thousands of grey-headed flying foxes begin chattering
and stretching their wings as they prepare to ascend from their roosts in Botanic Park and
set out in search of food. “It’s an amazing sight,” says associate professor Wayne
Boardman, a wildlife veterinarian and flying fox researcher at the University of Adelaide.
At first a few early birds take to the skies, he says, then more and more, “diving,
swooping, flapping”. “As the night sky darkens, steadily the full camp take to the air – a
mass of circling, squawking bats all eager to start foraging after a day of rest.”
For many festivalgoers, the nightly fly-out ritual is their first time seeing the animals, also
called megabats, up close. Boardman runs a “bat tent” near one of the main stages, kitted
out with displays, videos and binoculars to educate visitors and address misconceptions
about the flying foxes. “They are just astonishing animals,” he says. “The loveliness of
flying foxes, their sheer beauty, astonishing biology, the amazing anatomy – it never
ceases to amaze me.” Yet misinformation about the animals is rife, from well-meaning
parents telling children they use sound waves to navigate (they don’t), to more sinister
notions including that the animals are “pests” that “don’t belong here”. “They came of
their own volition,” Boardman says. Grey-headed flying foxes first arrived in Adelaide in
2010, establishing a permanent camp on First Creek, in parklands just north of the CBD,
where they have increased in number from 1,000 to about 50,000 today.
Flying foxes are nomadic, capable of travelling up to 50km at night in search of food
resources such as flowering gums, figs and fruit trees. Tim Pearson, a wildlife ecologist
who specialises in flying fox behaviour and communication, says the “double whammy” of
destroying native forests while providing alternative food sources in farms and residential
areas creates the potential for human-bat conflict and harassment, identified as a threat
 BAGDAD 2025

in recovery plans for endangered spectacled flying foxes and vulnerable grey-headed
flying foxes. Populations of both species have declined in recent decades, although
assessing their current status has become more challenging since the national flying fox
monitoring program concluded in 2022. “The Australian attitude towards wildlife has
always been positive, providing it doesn’t inconvenience you,” Pearson says.
Unfortunately for flying foxes, in their case it often does.
Things have been getting better, Pearson says, but flare-ups still occur when practical
concerns – about noise, the animals’ impact on fruit growers, power outages or potential
disease threats – are reported in breathless terms by the media. Efforts to disperse the
bats are generally counterproductive and attempts to promote empathy and coexistence
have not worked. Scientists now think “normalising” flying foxes might be a way forward,
depicting them as a natural part of Australian wildlife in art, photography, books,
community events and education. Despite their often visible and audible presence in cities
and towns, representations of flying foxes in mainstream media and popular culture
remain scarce and largely negative, according to the paper published in Australian
Zoologist. Pearson, a co-author of the paper, works with tame education flying foxes at a
wildlife park. Once people see these cute, furry animals up close, they realise they are
“curious, gentle, intelligent” with individual personalities, he says.
Doug Gimesy, a wildlife and conservation photojournalist, says bats – flying foxes and
microbats – make up nearly 20% of all mammals, but “don’t get 20% of the air time”. “As a
group, they’re often ignored, under-appreciated and misunderstood,” he says. “At worst
they’re vilified and face a constant battle of disinformation, hate speech and are even
persecuted.” Gimesy began photographing flying foxes in 2016 and has since spent more
than 160 days in the field, taking thousands of images that document every aspect of their
lives. Through his award-winning photographs and children’s book, Life Upside Down,
Gimesy is hoping to show people how magnificent the animals are, “to get people to
engage and ask questions and understand”. Two images have been important to capture
and share, he says. In one, a flying fox pokes its pink tongue into a eucalyptus blossom –
because people don’t realise what important pollinators they are, he says.
In the other, a pup clings to its mum as it breastfeeds in mid-flight, which usually triggers
an emotional response. It’s the realization “they carry their young in flight, and they’re
flying mammals”. The paper says shifting attitudes towards species such as sharks and
crocodiles, once subject to widespread persecution, offer optimism that contentious
issues between flying foxes and people can be managed without maligning them as a
species. In Fisher reserve, in the inner Melbourne suburb of North Fitzroy, children play on
the green grass as an oversized flying fox takes wing with a magpie, a squirrel glider and
pink paper planes against a purple sky. The colourful mural, by Alex Sugar, is one of
 BAGDAD 2025

several depicting flying foxes alongside other Australian wildlife and quirky elements.
Sugar is fond of the bats, and they became a recurrent feature in his work after their
nightly flyout over the Yarra River drew his attention. “We need to highlight them more in
everyday culture and the issues that they’re going through as well with their current
habitat,” he says.

For questions 30-33, fill in the missing information in the numbered spaces.
Write no more than ONE WORD and / or A NUMBER for each question.
FLYING FOXES
Flying foxes live by moving from place to place. Their diet usually consists of
30__________, flowering gums and some other fruits. They have two 31__________, both
of which are endangered. Scientists regard that portraying them as a part of local life
them might be useful. They use the term 32__________ to emphasize it. Although they
are indeed encountered in ordinary life, people pay little attention to them, and even
when they do, people see them as 33__________.

PART 2
Welcome, everyone, to Registan Square, the heart of Samarkand and one of the most
breathtaking historical sites in Uzbekistan. The word 'Registan' means 'sandy place,' and it
was here that people gathered during the Timurid Empire for various important meetings as
well as royal proclamations. Imagine this square centuries ago, bustling with merchants,
scholars, and performers—a true hub of life and culture.
Registan Square is surrounded by three remarkable madrasas, or Islamic schools, which
together form a masterpiece of medieval Islamic architecture. The first madrasa you see is the
Ulugh Beg Madrasa, built in the 15th century by Ulugh Beg himself, a Timurid ruler who was
also an extraordinary astronomer and mathematician. This madrasa wasn’t just a school; it
was a place where some of the greatest minds of the time came to learn and exchange ideas.
Its facade features intricate tilework with geometric patterns and inscriptions, reflecting Ulugh
Beg's deep interest in science and education.
To the right is the Shir Dor Madrasa, constructed in the 17th century. The name Shir Dor
means 'Lion-Bearing,' and the building is famous for its bold design, particularly the images of
two lions chasing deer on its facade. This is quite unusual in Islamic art, as living creatures
are rarely depicted. It was a statement of power and strength, symbolizing the ambitions of
the ruler at the time.
The third madrasa, the Tilya-Kori Madrasa, was built shortly after Shir Dor. It served not only
as a madrasa but also as a mosque, making it a multifunctional structure. The name Tilya-
Kori means 'Gilded,' and when you step inside, you'll understand why—it boasts a dazzling
golden interior that will leave you in awe.
Registan Square wasn’t just about architecture—it played a central role in the social and
cultural life of Samarkand. The square hosted bazaars, public speeches, and even royal
decrees. Five centuries ago, from night to morning, this place was full of people. It was a space
where the community came together to share knowledge, conduct business, and celebrate.
Today, the square is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, a testament to its
historical and cultural significance. Whether you’re here to admire the architecture, learn about
history, or simply soak in the atmosphere, there’s something magical about Registan Square.
To truly appreciate its beauty, I recommend visiting during the evening when the square is
illuminated. The golden lights highlight every intricate detail, creating an enchanting and
unforgettable experience.
Now, let’s take a closer look at each of these magnificent structures and uncover the stories
behind them!

PART 3
Speaker 1.
Every morning, I wake up early and start my day with a quick jog to wake myself up. At work,
things get busy almost immediately. My job involves a lot of multitasking, especially during
lunch rushes. I prepare things quickly, but I always make sure they look appetizing—
presentation is important, you know? There’s this one customer who always asks for extra
sauce, and I can tell when they’re in the line just by their order. The best part of my job is
working with my coworkers; we’ve developed a rhythm that makes the busy hours fly by. By
the way, smelling like grease every day isn’t ideal, but hey, it’s part of the job.
Speaker 2.
I’m not much of an early riser. When I get to my workplace, I usually start by organizing things
and making sure everything is clean and neat. Customers are always coming and going, and
my job is to make sure they find what they need and leave happy. It’s not as simple as it
seems. You have to know where everything is and sometimes deal with tricky situations, like
restocking shelves when the store is super busy. The best part? Helping people find what
they’re looking for, especially when they’re in a rush or need advice about what’s the best
choice. It’s kind of rewarding in its own way.
Speaker 3.
I don’t have a fixed schedule—it depends on the meetings I have and the deadlines my team
is working towards. I usually spend my time talking to different teams and figuring out how to
solve problems. You’ve got to keep your head in the game, especially when it comes to
numbers and growth strategies. It’s not all work, though. Sometimes I like to step out for a bit
and grab a coffee—it gives me a chance to clear my head. Balancing numbers and motivating
the team can be a challenge, but when things fall into place, it’s worth it. One thing I always
keep in mind is to stay adaptable because no two days are ever the same.
Speaker 4.
I’m a bit of a night owl, so my workday typically starts mid-morning. My job is all about solving
puzzles. It can be stressful at times and all I do are typing and testing things. Then I must
figure out why they aren’t working. Honestly, there’s no better feeling than fixing a stubborn
bug that’s been haunting you for hours. I work remotely most of the time, which is amazing
because I get to set up my workspace exactly how I like it. Some days, I join virtual meetings,
brainstorming with my team about how to improve the systems we’re building. Oh, and side
note: I’ve discovered that some burgers and coffee are basically fuel for creativity.

PART 4
Welcome, everyone, to the Family Adventure Park! I’m so excited to have you here today.
Whether you’re here for a family outing, an adventurous day with the kids, or just to relax,
there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Let me walk you through the park and share some
fun highlights along the way.
You’re starting at the entrance, marked by the black arrow on your map. From here, you can
head in any direction to explore the park’s wonderful attractions. But let’s start with the left
side of the map.
First, all you movie lovers, make sure to check out the 3D Cinema in the top-left corner. It’s
spacious enough to seat over 100 people, and the sound and visuals will make you feel like
you’re right in the middle of the action! Below that is the Adventure Course, perfect for kids
and parents who want to test their climbing, balancing, and problem-solving skills.
Moving further down on the left, we have the Café, where you can grab a cup of coffee, tea,
or even some ice cream to cool off. It’s a cozy little spot with both indoor and outdoor seating
for about 30 people. Right next to it is the Souvenir Shop—don’t forget to drop by before you
leave to pick up some keepsakes! They have adorable toys for kids and even handmade crafts
for adults.
Now let’s head to the center of the park, where the beautiful Fountain is located. It’s
surrounded by lush greenery and benches, making it a perfect spot for families to take a
breather or snap some pictures.
For your convenience, the Restrooms are just behind of the fountain. They’re large and well-
maintained, with plenty of space for families to use comfortably.
Now let’s explore the exciting attractions on the right side of the park. At the top-right corner,
you’ll find the Skating Field—a big open space for roller skating or skateboarding. Kids, this is
your chance to show off your skills! Below the skating field is the Swimming Pool, which you
can easily see on the map with some trees and near the water. It is one of the largest areas
in the park. It’s designed for all ages, with shallow sections for younger children and deeper
areas for experienced swimmers.
Finally, in the bottom-right corner is the Tennis Court. It’s regulation-size, perfect for a family
match or even some practice swings. If you didn’t bring a racket, no worries—there’s
equipment available for rent nearby.
And before I forget, near the top-center of the map is something really special: the Scary
Room! The place is near the fountain just beside some trees and next to the restroom. It’s not
too frightening, so kids can definitely enjoy it—it’s more of a fun, mysterious experience with
lots of surprises along the way.
That’s the tour, everyone! I hope you have an amazing day exploring, making memories, and
enjoying everything the park has to offer. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need directions
or have questions. Now, go have fun!

PART 5
Extract One.
Presenter: Welcome to today's show. We're very happy to have Anna Oliveira as our guest
today. Anna is the creator and founder of HomeworX – spelled with an 'x' we should note – an
app which helps teenagers with their homework. Thanks for coming in, Anna.
Anna: Thanks for having me.
Presenter: So, tell us about your app. How does it work?
Anna: Well, teenagers and their parents have numerous challenges when it comes to
homework these days. In many families both parents work and don't have much available time
to help their kids with their homework. And even if they do have time to help, they may not be
able to offer support with the content. What I mean is, they may not know, or at least
remember, enough in any given subject to support.
Presenter: You mean they might not be able to remember complex maths or might have never
studied certain subjects, such as biology or economics, themselves?
Anna: Exactly. So they might want to support their children with their homework, but have
neither the time nor the knowledge to do so.
Presenter: I see. So the app helps solve this problem?
Anna: Yes, and more. The next issue is that tutors can be expensive, and there may be long
waiting lists for specialist tutors in the town or region you live in. Our HomeworX app brings
students and tutors together online. Students can search a database of pre-approved tutors
and sign up for live online support. They don't need to be in the same town or city.
Presenter: That sounds really great.
Extract Two.
Ali: Hey, you guys, I've been looking for you. I've got an idea – a study group. What do you
think? Are you interested?
Dina: Yes! I need a study group, in a big way.
Bea: Me too.
Ali: Do you think we have enough people here for a study group? I mean, there are only four
of us …
Bea: Sorry. Three of us. Chris can't do study group. Right, Chris?
Chris: Yeah, there's no way I can do a study group. I have an assignment and then I'm too
busy. But I'll stay for this first meeting.
Ali: Should we try and get another group together with us for this?
Bea: No, I don't think so. I think three is fine. Ideal size, really.
Dina: Me too.
Ali: OK, three people then. Four people for the first meeting. What next?
Bea: What about a meeting place? We can't meet here in the library …
Ali: It's not too bad, especially if those other people would go away.
Bea: But we can't exactly ask them to leave, and people might get annoyed with us talking.
Dina: Can I say something here?
Ali: Sure, go ahead.
Dina: There's a study hall next to the cafeteria. It's almost always empty. Could we meet
there?
Ali: A study hall?! Who knew? Well, it sounds good to me.
Extract Three.
Clara: Hi, how are you? I haven't seen you in class for a while.
Ben: Good, thanks. You?
Clara: Great, as long as I don't think too hard about all the essays I have to write this term!
Ben: Yeah …
Clara: Hey, are you OK?
Ben: I have to admit, I'm struggling a bit. Maybe even a lot. I've not been sleeping well at all
and then I can't concentrate. And all these things are just going around and around in my
head.
Clara: Mmm … that doesn't sound good. So, you're sleeping badly and you can't concentrate.
Is that all it is, do you think?
Ben: Well, if I'm honest, it's more than that. I'm starting to dread going outside. I find myself
worrying about stupid things like what if I forget the way home. Or, what if I go to class thinking
it's Monday but actually it's Friday and I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time. It sounds even
more stupid when I say it out loud. It took me two hours to leave the house today.
Clara: It doesn't sound stupid at all. It actually sounds a lot like me last year.

PART 6
Hi, I’d like to tell you a bit about myself and my work as a web developer in Tashkent. My
name’s Kamran and I’ve been passionate about technology since I was a teenager. Growing
up, I was fascinated by how websites worked, and that led me to study computer science at
university here in Tashkent. After graduating, I started my career as a freelance developer,
and now I work with a small team on a variety of web projects.
As a developer, organization is key, so I always start my day by reviewing emails and
messages from clients. This helps me plan my tasks and set priorities. My workflow revolves
around a task management system where I break projects down into smaller, manageable
parts. For example, if I’m building a website, I’ll divide it into stages like creating the layout,
designing the user interface, and integrating functionality.
Once I’ve planned my day, I move on to writing and testing code. I primarily work on the front-
end, which means I focus on the parts of a website that users see and interact with. I use tools
like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, along with frameworks like React. For instance, if I’m
designing an online store, I’ll make sure it’s not only visually appealing but also responsive,
so it works seamlessly on different devices.
In the middle of my day, I usually take a short break. Sometimes I go for a walk around my
neighborhood to clear my head, or I might grab a quick snack. It’s a simple routine, but it keeps
me focused for the rest of the day.
Later in the afternoon, I tackle tasks that require a lot of attention to detail, like debugging.
Debugging is a critical part of my job—it’s where I identify and fix issues in the code to ensure
everything works perfectly. For instance, if a button on a website doesn’t respond as expected,
I’ll go through the code line by line to find the problem.
Another major part of my work is optimizing website performance. This involves improving
loading times and ensuring that the site is efficient for users. For example, I might compress
images or refine the code to make the site run faster. It’s a meticulous process but one that’s
essential for user satisfaction.
At the end of the day, I review what I’ve accomplished and prepare updates for my clients.
Communication is vital in this role, so I often send progress reports or hold virtual meetings to
ensure everyone’s on the same page.
I love being a web developer because it’s a field that combines creativity with problem-solving.
The satisfaction of seeing a project come to life and knowing it meets the client’s needs is
incredibly rewarding. That’s a little insight into my day, and I hope you’ve enjoyed learning
about my work.
