Artificial Intelligence
What is it?
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is the ability of machines to do tasks that usually require human intelligence.
How old is it?
Early computers included some elements of artificial intelligence as long ago as the 1940s. (7)
, the first chess computer software was developed in 1948 by British scientist Alan Turing.
Where is AI used?
AI is being used in almost every area of our lives. Here are just some examples:
Medicine AI can detect early (8) of disease. Millions of us already have apps that tell us how
to improve our health.
Transport Self-driving cars and (9) automated vehicles will become a reality on our roads
soon.
Business When we use the online chat on a company website, we're often chatting with a 'bot', which
simulates human conversation.
Policing AI is used to fight crime in different ways, such as checking video from security cameras to (10)
someone's face, or detecting and blocking hackers.
How will Al change in the future?
Most AI is used to do just one main task - it's powerful but narrow. Scientists aim to make future AI (11)
to different tasks. One day, a machine may be able to do everything that the human brain can
do, only many times faster. This may not happen for a very long time, but when it does, our everyday
lives will be very different (12) how they are today.

Read the following passage about music from the past and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 22.
Much of the music we listen to today is a mixture of styles from various countries and time periods.
A lot of music (18) heard in many different countries around the world. Traditional, or folk,
music is collected over decades, if not centuries.
Since music can tell us a lot about different cultures through its lyrics, melodies, and the instruments
used, researchers and music fans see it as an essential part of history. They fear that traditional and older
types of music are slowly disappearing, partly because they are less likely to be written down or recorded,
or because the format in which they are recorded is no longer in use. Also, (19) .
There is a growing effort to preserve music in its many forms. Some researchers create field
recordings - recordings made outside of a recording studio - to capture live performances. For example,
in the early 1900s, social scientist Frances Densmore made recordings of Native American songs that had
been sung for many generations but were in danger of being forgotten. Researchers also transcribe old
music by listening to old recordings - sometimes the only one of its kind left. (20) .
Collecting music is another form of music preservation. Some collectors are extremely passionate
about their music and will spend a lot of time and money looking for things (21) . Their
efforts help to document music of different cultures, genres, time periods, and places.
Now, modern technology makes it much easier to preserve music. Utilised to record music, (22)
. Soon, losing a piece of music may be a thing of the past.

B. Intending to write out the music, modern musicians find it easier to study and play it

Read the following passage about cultural differences and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing. A group of Americans who
taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that
miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no.”
On her first day in Micronesia, Lisa thought people were ignoring her requests. The day was hot, and
she needed a cold drink. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there
didn’t say anything. Lisa rephrased the question. Still, the woman said nothing. Lisa gave up and left the
store. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows, which in
Micronesia means “yes.”
This reminded Jan of an experience she had in Bulgaria. She had gone to a restaurant that was known
for its stuffed cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have stuffed cabbage today?” He nodded his head.
Jan eagerly waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no.”
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked
his students if they understood. They responded with many different nods and shakes of their head. He
assumed some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again if they understood,
they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and
shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a
person is from to understand if they are indicating “yes” or “no.”

Read the following passage about FarmVille and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Imagine owning a farm where the sun always shines, the crops always grow, and the animals are
always healthy. Imagine friends visiting for a while to help feed the animals and clean the farmyard. Now
imagine selling those crops and using the money to make your farm bigger and better. This is the world
of FarmVille, an online game that players access through the Facebook website. FarmVille currently has
a population of over 82 million – about the same as Germany. [I] When new players join FarmVille, they
receive some ‘farm coins’ (the special FarmVille currency), some seeds, a plough, and a farm with six
fields. [II] They plant the seeds and sell the crops to get extra ‘farm coins’. [III] Eventually, they can buy
more land too and make their farms bigger. [IV]
 For most players, it’s a relaxing hobby – a change from the pressures of modern city life. Kate Jones
is a 25-year-old who lives and works in central London. She grew up in the countryside. She says
FarmVille reminds her of her childhood. She’s growing wheat and flowers, and she’s got some apple
trees. She’s also keeping chickens and cows. She says that she finds keeping animals therapeutic.
Some experts have warned of the dangers of FarmVille and other online games. They say that the
games are addictive, with players spending up to eight hours a day on the computer. They also say that
even ‘free games’ can be expensive. FarmVille players can use real money to buy extra ‘farm coins’ for
their farm. You can buy $240 of ‘farm coins’ for $40 of real money. There are stories of children
spending hundreds of dollars on their parents’ credit cards to buy virtual money for their online
games.
Despite these worries, the population of FarmVille keeps growing as fast as its virtual fruit and
vegetables. And while the crops and the animals in FarmVille are imaginary, the money is real. Zynga,
the company who invented FarmVille, makes an estimated $500,000 a day from its Facebook games.

encounter.
C. There is a disparity between Zynga's gains and the potential drawbacks experienced by FarmVille
players.
D. Kate Jones values FarmVille for its entertainment and emotional benefits rather than as a financial
opportunity.
Question 40. Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. FarmVille allows players to grow crops, expand farms, and enjoy emotional benefits, but concerns
about addiction and real money spending persist, making it less appealing to potential players.
B. With 82 million players, FarmVille provides a virtual farming escape to raise crops and animals, but
experts highlight addiction risks, while Zynga profits heavily from in-game purchases.
C. FarmVille, a popular Facebook game, offers players a virtual farming experience, but experts warn of
addiction and financial risks, despite its relaxing appeal and Zynga’s significant daily profits.
D. FarmVille combines virtual farming fun with entertaining benefits, but its addictive nature and real-
money spending risks are deeply concerning, especially for young players, despite Zynga earning
$500,000 daily from the game.
