according to the text. Write your answers (A, B, C, or D) in the corresponding numbered boxes.
WORK, WORK, WORK!
Stress, sleeplessness, depression, heart disease, shortness of temper, memory loss, anxiety, marital
breakdown, child delinquency, rudeness, suicide - a mere shortlist of some of the symptoms of the
postmodern malaise. The cause of all our woes? An avalanche of surveys, polls and expert commentaries
show that we all work too long, too hard, that our bosses are beastly; that we are insecure and afraid. You
know all this stuff. We seem to be workers on the verge of a nervous breakdown. So far, so bad. But
there's plenty of good news about work, too - even if it is not always shared with the same enthusiasm as
the 'Work is Terrible' stories. Four out of 10 UK workers declare themselves 'very satisfied' with their
jobs, more than in France, Germany, Italy or Spain.
Work has become our national obsession. Whether we are damning the impact of work on our
health, our families, our time, or celebrating its new-found flexibility, rewards and opportunities, we are
talking, writing and thinking about work like never before. As with so many obsessive relationships, the
one with work is a love-hate one. Mixed messages are everywhere - on the one hand, the government
emphasises the importance of paid work, and then cautions about the impact of too much paid work on
families. Women celebrate the economic independence work brings, then are made to feel guilty about
their children. Salaries go up, but few of us feel richer. We find a job we love and so work long hours at
it, and then feel that we are failing to get our 'work/life' balance right.
Why is work under the microscope? Perhaps because our work simply occupies a more
important place in our lives than it did. Maybe we care, and worry, more about work for the same reason
we care and worry so much about our children or our health - because it is important to us. Men and (for
the first time in centuries) women are placing work closer to the centre of their lives. And maybe that's
no bad thing. The 'leisure society' would probably have been a boring place in any case.
Our work fixation springs from a series of profound changes in the nature of employment, all of
which push work more deeply into our individual lives, our families and our communities. Work has
become a more important element of our personal identity; we have greater control and choice over the
shape of our working lives; women have entered and transformed the workplace; the nine-to-five has
become more sociable; more of us want or need the financial independence that a wage offers; and the
economic rewards of working have increased - work pays.
Work has become a more important personal identity tag, supplanting the three traditional
indicators of our uniqueness - place, faith and blood. As geographical roots have weakened, religious
affiliations have diminished and the extended family has dispersed, how we spend our labouring hours
has become a more important window into our souls. This trend reflects and reinforces a desire for work
which brings personal fulfilment, for work we are proud of. If work means not just income but identity,
then the choice of job becomes critical. This is why tobacco companies find it so hard to hire people - to
work for them would be to taint your own identity.
But the new salience of work has come with a price; fewer people are able to feel secure; the need
to keep pace with change is tiring and stressful; white-collar workers are putting in longer hours to try
and keep a toehold - with potentially damaging consequences for the children; and the deification of
work threatens to push those who are outside the paid workforce further towards the margins of society.
This would not matter so much if work did not matter so much. Not just in terms of income, but in terms
of identity. When work becomes more than simply a passport to a pay cheque, when it opens the door to
friends, purpose, satisfaction and a place in the world, its absence is more keenly felt. Once we admit the
centrality of work to our lives, it might be harder to kid ourselves that we are doing older employees a
favour by 'letting them go'.
But we dare not admit work’s importance to us. We like to moan about it, preferably with work
colleagues just after work. The love of your job is now the only one that dare not speak its name. The
idea of work as intrinsically bad has poisoned us for too long. The poet and mystic Kahlil Gibran said
that work was “love made visible”. Wouldn't it be great if we could capture a bit of that spirit, even if just
for a while?
71. In the first paragraph the writer implies that ______.
A. workers suffer from mental problems B. modern lifestyles can sometimes make us ill
C. working people are generally insecure people D. we exaggerate the negative effects of work
72. The word “damming” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. criticizing strongly B. discussing widely C. debating fiercely D. appreciating greatly
73. In the second paragraph, the writer gives the impression that ______.
A. people have ambivalent attitudes to work B. women should not continue to work
C. people need a more balanced approach to life D. work has made us feel better about ourselves
74. How does the writer answer the question "Why is work under the microscope?" in the third
paragraph?
A. Because we worry about it all the time B. Because it is as important as our children
C. Because it is a large part of our lives D. Because it can affect our health
75. The function of the fourth paragraph is ______.
A. explain the constant need of people to work
B. examine the changes in the nature of employment
C. show how work has become a focal point in our lives
D. summarise the changes in the workplace
76. The term “window into our souls” in the fifth paragraph can be best described as ______.
A. something that we really like and want B. something that we earn for a living
C. something that we don’t want to have D. something that we don’t care about
77. In talking about the jobs we choose, the writer says that ______.
A. our families have become less important to us B. social change has made work more significant
C. the type of job is becoming less relevant D. money has become a more important factor
78. According to the article, people who lose their jobs ______.
A. generally welcome the change B. may have fewer social relationships
C. identify strongly with each other D. have higher stress level
79. The word “intrinsically” in the seventh paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. significantly B. fundamentally C. temporarily D. profoundly
80. From the article as a whole, we understand that the writer believes ______.
A. we should rethink our attitudes to work B. we should admit that work is a necessary evil

Part 4: For questions 81-90, read the text and do the tasks that follow.
THE ROBOTS ARE COMING – OR ARE THEY?
What is the current state of play in Artificial Intelligence?
A. Can robots advance so far that they become the ultimate threat to our existence? Some scientists say
no, and dismiss the very idea of Artificial Intelligence. The human brain, they argue, is the most
complicated system ever created, and any machine designed to reproduce human thought is bound to fail.
Physicist Roger Penrose of Oxford University and others believe that machines are physically incapable
of human thought. Colin McGinn of Rutgers University backs this up when he says that Artificial
Intelligence ‘is like sheep trying to do complicated psychoanalysis. They just don’t have the conceptual
equipment they need in their limited brains’.
B. Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is different from most technologies in that scientists still understand
very little about how intelligence works. Physicists have a good understanding of Newtonian mechanics
and the quantum theory of atoms and molecules, whereas the basic laws of intelligence remain a mystery.
But a sizeable number of mathematicians and computer scientists, who are specialists in the area, are
optimistic about the possibilities. To them it is only a matter of time before a thinking machine walks out
of the laboratory. Over the years, various problems have impeded all efforts to create robots. To attack
these difficulties, researchers tried to use the ‘top-down approach’, using a computer in an attempt to
program all the essential rules onto a single disc. By inserting this into a machine, it would then become
self-aware and attain human-like intelligence.
C. In the 1950s and 1960s great progress was made, but the shortcomings of these prototype robots soon
became clear. They were huge and took hours to navigate across a room. Meanwhile, a fruit fly, with a
brain containing only a fraction of the computing power, can effortlessly navigate in three dimensions.
Our brains, like the fruit fly’s, unconsciously recognise what we see by performing countless
calculations. This unconscious awareness of patterns is exactly what computers are missing. The second
problem is robots’ lack of common sense. Humans know that water is wet and that mothers are older than
their daughters. But there is no mathematics that can express these truths. Children learn the intuitive
laws of biology and physics by interacting with the real world. Robots know only what has been
programmed into them.
D. Because of the limitations of the top-down approach to Artificial Intelligence, attempts have been
made to use a ‘bottom-up’ approach instead – that is, to try to imitate evolution and the way a baby
learns. Rodney Brooks was the director of MIT’s Artificial Intelligence laboratory, famous for its
lumbering ‘top-down’ walking robots. He changed the course of research when he explored the
unorthodox idea of tiny ‘insectoid’ robots that learned to walk by bumping into things instead of
computing mathematically the precise position of their feet. Today many of the descendants of Brooks’
insectoid robots are on Mars gathering data for NASA (The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration), running across the dusty landscape of the planet. For all their successes in mimicking
the behaviour of insects, however, robots using neural networks have performed miserably when their
programmers have tried to duplicate in them the behaviour of higher organisms such as mammals. MIT’s
Marvin Minsky summarises the problems of AI: ‘The history of AI is sort of funny because the first real
accomplishments were beautiful things, like a machine that could do well in a maths course. But then we
started to try to make machines that could answer questions about simple children’s stories. There’s no
machine today that can do that.’
E. There are people who believe that eventually there will be a combination between the top-down and
bottom-up, which may provide the key to Artificial Intelligence. As adults, we blend the two approaches.
It has been suggested that our emotions represent the quality that most distinguishes us as human, that it
is impossible for machines ever to have emotions. Computer experts Hans Moravec thinks that in the
future robots will be programmed with the emotions such as fear to protect themselves so that they can
signal to human when their batteries are running low, for example. Emotions are vital in decision-
making. People who have suffered a certain kind of brain injury lose the ability to experience emotions
and become unable to make decisions. Without emotions to guide them, they debate endlessly over their
options. Moravec points out that as robots become more intelligent and are able to make choices, they
could likewise become paralysed with indecision. To aid them, robots of the future might need to have
emotions hardwired into their brains.
F. There is no universal consensus as to whether machines can be conscious, or even, in human terms,
what consciousness means. Minsky suggests the thinking process in our brain is not localised but spread
out, with different centres competing with one another at any given time. Consciousness may then be
viewed as a sequence of thoughts and images issuing from these different, smaller ‘minds’, each one
competing for our attention. Robots might eventually attain a ‘silicon consciousness’. Robots, in fact,
might one day embody an architecture for thinking and processing information that is different from ours
– but also indistinguishable. If that happens, the question of whether they really ‘understand’ becomes
largely irrelevant. A robot that has perfect mastery of syntax, for all practical purposes, understands what
is being said.

following information? Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided.
81. an insect that proves the superiority of natural intelligence over Artificial Intelligence

IV. WRITING (30 points)
Part 1: Read the following extract and use your own words to summarise it. Your summary should be
between 70 and 80 words long. Write your summary in the space provided.
 The social and economic importance of tourism has been more and more significant. In most
industrialised countries over the past few years the fastest growth has been seen in the area of services.
One of the largest segments of the service industry, although largely unrecognised as an entity in some of
these countries, is travel and tourism. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council (1992),
‘travel and tourism is the largest industry in the world on virtually any economic measure including
value-added capital investment, employment and tax contributions’. In 1992, the industry’s gross output
was estimated to be $3.5 trillion, over 12 per cent of all consumer spending. The travel and tourism
industry is the world’s largest employer the almost 130 million jobs, or almost 7 per cent of all
employees. This industry is the world’s leading industrial contributor, producing over 6 per cent of the
world’s national product and accounting for capital investment in excess of $422 billion in direct,
indirect and personal taxes each year. Thus, tourism has a profound impact both on the world economy
and, because of the educative effect of travel and the effects on employment, on society itself.
However, the major problems of the travel and tourism industry that have hidden, or obscured, its
economic impact are the diversity and fragmentation of the industry itself. The travel industry includes:
hotels, motels and other types of accommodation; restaurants and other food services; transportation
services and facilities; amusements, attractions and other leisure facilities; gift shops and a large number
of other enterprises. Since many of these businesses also serve local residents, the impact of spending by
visitors can easily be overlooked or underestimated. In addition, Meis (1992) points out that the tourism
industry involves concepts that have remained amorphous to both analysts and decision makers.
Moreover, in all nations this problem has made it difficult for the industry to develop any type of reliable
or credible tourism information base in order to estimate the contribution it makes to regional, national
and global economies. However, the nature of this very diversity makes travel and tourism ideal vehicles
for economic development in a wide variety of countries, regions or communities.
