Part 2. Read the passage below, which contains 10 mistakes. Identify the mistakes and write the
corrections in the corresponding numbered boxes.
1 People have been debating the principles of beauty for thousand of years, but it still
2 seems impossible to consider it objectively. German philosopher Immanuel Kant
3 questioned what something can posses an objective property that makes it beautiful. He
4 concluded that although everyone accepts that beauty exists, no one has ever agreed on
5 the precise criteria by which beauty may be judging.
6 The ancient Greek philosopher Plato wrote of a scale the “golden proportion”,
7 according to which the width of the face should be two-third of its length, preferable
8 accompanied by a nose no longer than the distance between the eyes.
9 Symmetry has been proving to be attractive to the human eye, so a face may seem
10 beautiful because of the similarity between its two sides. Babies spend more time look at
11 symmetrical faces than asymmetrical ones and symmetry is also rated as more
12 attractively by adults looking at photos. So although there seems to be no universal

5
 13 agreement or even national consensus on what constitutes beauty, there is at least some
14 agreement that facial symmetry is important factor.

Part 3: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions. Write your
answers A, B, C or D in the corresponding numbered boxes.
Many species of fish, particularly smaller fish, travel in schools, moving in tight formations often with
the precision of the most highly disciplined military unit on parade. Some move in synchronized hordes,
while others move in starkly geometric forms. These may take the shape, for example, of wedges, triangles,
spheres, or ovals. In addition to the varieties of shapes of schools of fish, there are countless varieties of
schooling behaviors. Some fish coalesce into schools and then spread out in random patterns, while others
move into close formations at specific times, such as feeding times, but are more spread out at other times.
Some move in schools composed of members of all age groups, while others move in schools predominantly
when they are young but take up a more solitary existence as they mature. Though this behavior is quite a
regular, familiar phenomenon, there is much that is not completely known about it, particularly the exact
function that it serves and what mechanisms fish use to make it happen. Numerous hypotheses have been
proposed and tested concerning the purpose of schooling behavior in fish. Schooling certainly promotes the
survival of the species, but questions arise as to the way the schooling enables fish to have a better chance of
surviving. Certainly, the fact that fish congregate together in schools helps to ensure their survival in that
schooling provides numerous types of protection for the members of the school. One form of protection
derives from the sheer numbers in the school. When a predator attacks a school containing a huge number of
fish, the predator will be able to consume only a small percentage of the school. Whereas some of the
members of the school will be lost to the predator, the majority of the school will be able to survive. Another

7
form of protection comes from the special coloration and markings of different types fish. Certain types of
coloration or markings such as stripes or patterns in vibrant and shiny colors create a visual effect when
huge numbers of the fish are clustered together, making it more difficult for a potential predator to focus on
specific members of the school. A final form of protection comes from a special sense that fish possess, a
sense that is enhanced when fish swim in schools. This special sense is related to a set of lateral line organs
that consists of rows of pores leading to fluid-filled canals. These organs are sensitive to minute vibrations
in the water. The thousands of sets of those special organs in a school of fish together can prove very
effective in warning the school about an approaching threat.
The purpose of schooling behavior is not the only aspect of schooling that is not fully understood. It is
also unclear exactly how fish manage to maintain their tight formations. Sight seems to play a role in in the
ability of fish to move in schools, and some scientists believe that, at least in some species, sight may play
the principal role. However, many experiments indicate that more than sight is involved. Some fish school
quite well in the dark or in murky water where visibility is extremely limited. This indicates that senses
other than eyesight must be involved in enabling the schooling behavior. The lateral line system most likely
plays a significant role in the ability of fish to school. Because these lateral line organs are sensitive to the
most minute vibrations and currents, this organ system may be used by fish to detect movements among
members of their school even when eyesight is limited or unavailable.

Confident people: What’s their secret?

Confident people may look as though they were born that way, but most will tell you that it’s a skill
they’ve learned because they had to. Nina Hathway asks five people how they did it.
A. JENNY
When I left school, I was very shy and I always thought I’d stay that way. I was about twenty-
five when I was asked to help out at my daughter’s school. I was sure I wouldn’t cope, but I
surprised myself by doing well and someone there suggested that I should do a university course.
There was a huge knot in my stomach the day I turned up for my first lecture. But my confidence
gradually grew- I became more outgoing. Looking back, working at the school was the turning point
in my life that has helped everything else fall into place.
B. MICHAELA
It all started four years ago when my father became ill and I had to take over the family
business. I was so scared. I went over the top and became a bit too aggressive and impatient. I
thought that was what confident people were like, but gradually I learned otherwise. To be confident
you’ve got to believe in yourself.
If things get too demanding for me at work, I don’t let myself feel guilty if I save a number of
tasks until the next day. When I’m confronted with something difficult, I tell myself that I’ve got
nothing to lose. It’s fear that makes you lack confidence, so I’m always having quiet chats with
myself to put aside those fears!

9
 C. CAROL
People think I’m very confident but, in fact, the calmer I look, the more terrified I really am. I’ve
had to develop the ability to look confident because it’s the most vital thing in TV. Interviewing
people has helped me realize that most- if not all- of us get tense in important situations, and we feel
calmer when we speak to someone who’s genuinely friendly. The best ever piece of advice came from
my mother when I was agonizing as a teenager about wearing the right clothes. She simply cried,
“Who’s looking at you? Everybody’s too busy worrying about how they look.” I’ve found that’s well
worth remembering.
I also think you gain confidence by tackling things that scare you. When I took my driving test I
was so nervous, but I passed. After that I felt sure that I’d never feel so frightened again, and I never
have.

D. BARBARA
My confidence comes naturally from really enjoying the work I do, but it’s something that I’ve
built up over the years. If you just get on with it and learn from any mistakes you make, you’re more
confident the next time round. I work hard and I’m popular in the restaurant, but it’s probable that
one out of ten people doesn’t like me. I don’t let that affect me. You’ve got to like yourself for what
you are, not try to be what others expect.
My company runs a lot of training courses, and going on those has built up my self-esteem. The
company also encourages employees to set manageable targets. It helps no end if you can see you’re
achieving something tangible, rather than reaching for the stars all at once, and ending up with
nothing but air!
E. ELAINE
After I left college, I worked for years as a secretary and would sit in meetings, not always
agreeing with what was being said, but too scared to speak up. Eventually, I summoned up the
confidence to start making my point. Even so, when I first worked in politics, I’d never spoken in
public before and always used to shake like a leaf. I would say to myself, “Don’t be so silly. People
do this every day of their lives, so there’s no reason why you can’t.” I also found it helpful to jot a
few things down to refer to- rather like having a comfort blanket!
I don’t think there is anyone who isn’t a little shaky when it comes to talking publicly. The real
secret of confidence lies in telling yourself over and over again, “Nothing is impossible.”

Part 5: Read the following passage and answer the questions from 51 to 60.

Dawn of the Robots

They’re already here- driving cars, vacuuming carpets and feeding hospital patients. They may not be
walking, talking, human-like sentient beings, but they are clever…and a little creepy.
A. At first sight, it looked like a typical suburban road accident. A Land Rover approached a Chevy
Tahoe estate car that had stopped at a kerb; the Land Rover pulled out and tried to pass the Tahoe
just as it started off again. There was a crack of fenders and the sound of paintwork being scrapped,
the kind of minor mishap that occurs on roads thousands of times every day. Normally drivers get
out, gesticulate, exchange insurance details and then drive off. But not on this occasion. No one got
out of the cars for the simple reason that they had no humans inside them; the Tahoe and Land
Rover were being controlled by computers competing in November’s DAPRA (the U.S. Defence
Advanced Research Projects Agency) Urban Challenge.
B. The idea that machines could perform to such standards is startling. Driving is a complex task that
takes humans a long time to perfect. Yet here, each car had its on-board computer loaded with a
10
 digital map and route plans, and was instructed to negotiate busy roads; differentiate between
pedestrians and stationary objects; determine whether other vehicles were parked or moving off;
and handle various parking manoeuvres, which robots turn out to be unexpectedly adept at. Even
more striking was the fact that the collision between the robot Land Rover, built by researchers at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Tahoe, fitted out by Cornell University Artificial
Intelligence (AI) experts, was the only scrape in the entire competition. Yet only three years earlier,
at DAPRA’s previous driverless car race, every robot competitor- directed to navigate across a
stretch of open desert- either crashed or seized up before getting near the fishing line.
C. It is a remarkable transition that has clear implications for the car of the future. More importantly, it
demonstrates how robotics sciences and Artificial Intelligence have progressed in the past few
years- a point stressed by Bill Gates, the Microsoft boss who is a convert to these causes. “The
robotics industry is developing in much the same way the computer business did 30 years ago,” he
argues. As he points out, electronics companies make toys that mimic pets and children with
increasing sophistication. “I can envision a future in which robotic devices will become a nearly
ubiquitous part of our day-to-day lives,” says Gates. “We may be on the verge of a new era, when
the PC will get up off the desktop and allow us to see, hear, touch and manipulate objects in places
where we are not physically present.”
D. What is the potential for robots and computers in the near future? The fact is we still have a way to
go before real robots catch up with their science fiction counterparts/ Gates says. So what are the
stumbling blocks? One key difficulty is getting robots to know their place. This has nothing to do
with class or etiquette, but concerns the simple issue of positioning. Humans orient themselves with
their objects in a room very easily. Robots find the task almost impossible. “Even something as
simple as telling the difference between an open door and a window can be tricky for a robot,” says
Gates. This has, until recently, reduced robots to fairly static and cumbersome roles.
E. For a long time, researchers tried to get round the problem by attempting to re-create the visual
processing that goes on in the human cortex. However, that challenge has proved to be singularly
exacting and complex. So scientists have turned to simpler alternatives: “We have become far more
pragmatic in our work,” says Nello Cristianini, Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University
of Bristol in England and associate editor of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research. “We are
no longer trying to re-create human functions, for example.” This approach is exemplified by
vacuuming robots such as the Electrolux Trilobite. The Trilobite scuttles around homes emitting
ultrasound signals to create maps of rooms, which are remembered for future cleaning. Technology
like this is now changing the face of robotics,” says philosopher Ron Chrisley, director of the Centre
for Research on Cognitive Science at the University of Sussex in England.
F. Last year, a new Hong Kong restaurant, Robot Kitchen, opened with a couple of sensor-laden
humanoid machines directing customers to their seats. Each possesses a touch-screen on which
orders can be keyed in. the robot then returns with the correct dishes. In Japan, University of Tokyo
researchers recently unveiled a kitchen “android” that could wash dishes, pour tea and make a few
limited meals. The ultimate aim is to provide robot home helpers for the sick and the elderly, a key
concern in a country like Japan where 22 percent of the population is 65 or older. Over US$1 billion
a year is spent on research into robots that will be able to care for the elderly. “Robots first learn
basic competence- how to move around a house without bumping into things. Then we can think
about teaching them how to interact with humans,” Chrisley said. Machines such as these take
researchers into the field of socialized robotics: how to make robots act in a way that does not scare
or offend individuals. “We need to study how robots should approach people, how they should
appear. That is going to be a key area for future research,” adds Chrisley.
