Transcript — SECTION ONE: LISTENING — Part 1 (TTS từ transcript)
INTERVIEWER: Excuse me.

LUISA: Yes?

INTERVIEWER: I wonder if you could spare a few minutes to do a survey on transport. It won't take long.

LUISA: No, that's fine.

INTERVIEWER: Lovely. The survey is on behalf of the local council. They'd like to know about what transport you use any suggestions for improvement. Can I start by asking you how you travelled to town today?

LUISA: Sure. I came on the bus.

INTERVIEWER: Great. Now can I get a few details about yourself?

LUISA: OK.

INTERVIEWER: What's your name?

LUISA: It's Luisa …

INTERVIEWER: Yes.

LUISA: Hardie.

INTERVIEWER: Can you spell that, please?

LUISA: Yes, it's H-A-R-D-I-E.

INTERVIEWER: Great. Thanks. And can I have your address?

LUISA: It's 19, White Stone Road.

INTERVIEWER: Oh, right. I know that area. It's Bradfield, isn't it?

LUISA: That's right.

INTERVIEWER: Is the postcode GT7?

LUISA: It's actually G-T-8, 2-L-C.

INTERVIEWER: Great. And could I ask what your job is? Are you a student?

LUISA: I've actually just finished my training. I'm a hairdresser.

INTERVIEWER: Oh, right. And one more question in this section. What is the reason for you coming into town today?

LUISA: Actually it's not for shopping today, which would be my normal reason, but to see the dentist.

INTERVIEWER: Right. Thanks.

INTERVIEWER: Now in this last section I'd like you to give us some ideas about the facilities and arrangements in the city for getting to and from work, er, any suggestions you have for improvements.

LUISA: Well, something I've thought about for some time is that when I do walk and I'm doing a later shift, I think the lighting should be better.

INTERVIEWER: Yes, good point.

LUISA: And of course, I think it's a real shame they've been cutting down on the number of footpaths. They should have more of those. Then people would walk more.

INTERVIEWER: Yes, right.

LUISA: And, I don't think there are enough trains. That's why I don't use them – you have to wait so long.

INTERVIEWER: Thanks. And finally I'd like to ask your opinion on cycling. As you may know, there's a drive in the city to get more people to cycle to work.

LUISA: Right.

INTERVIEWER: But we realise that there are things which the council, but also employers, might do to help encourage workers to cycle to work.

LUISA: Yep. Well, I have thought about it and where I work there are no safe places to leave your bikes.

INTERVIEWER: OK.

LUISA: And also, I'd have to cycle uphill and on a hot day I'd arrive at work pretty sweaty so I think I'd need a shower somewhere at work.

INTERVIEWER: Right.

LUISA: And I suppose the last thing is that I wouldn't be all that confident about cycling on such busy roads. I think I'd like to see you offering training for that, you know. I'd feel a lot better about starting if that was the case.

INTERVIEWER: Well, that's very helpful. Thank you very much for your time.

LUISA: No problem. Bye.

You will hear a short presentation on a new product design. Listen and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

SECTION ONE: LISTENING — Part 2 (TTS từ transcript)
Transcript — SECTION ONE: LISTENING — Part 2 (TTS từ transcript)
Hi, everyone. Thanks for coming to this short presentation on our new product design. As you know, we've already redeveloped our 'Adventure' shampoo to make it more modern and appealing. And we've renamed it 'Adventure Tech'. Our market research established the target market as men in the 18–40 age range who like to be outdoors and also like technical gadgets, such as smartwatches, drones and things like that. We needed to create a bottle which appeals to that market.

So, today, I'm happy to unveil our new bottle design. As you can see, it's designed to look like a black metal drinking flask, with some digital features printed on it.

I'd like to talk you through the following three points: the key features, sizing and our timeline for production.

Firstly, you'll notice it has an ergonomic design. That means it fits smoothly into your hand and can be easily opened and squeezed using one hand. And, it looks like a flask you might use when hiking outdoors. The imitation digital displays are designed to remind the user of other tech devices they may have, such as a smartwatch or smart displays in their home.

I'd now like to tell you about the sizes. It comes in two sizes: the regular size and a small travel size. The travel size is the same type of design – a flask, also with imitation digital displays on the bottle. We were thinking of starting with one and following with the travel-size in a few months, but we've worked hard and both are ready now.

Finally, I'm going to talk to you about our timeline for production. You've probably heard that we're launching in two months. In preparation for that, we're starting the marketing campaign next month. You can see the complete overview of all phases in this Gantt chart.

In summary, the bottle's been designed for men who like adventure and technology, and it comes in two sizes. The marketing campaign is starting next month and we're launching the product in two months.

OK. So, any questions? Feel free to also email me for further information in case we run out of time.

They have redesigned an old product.

The product is aimed at men and women aged 18 - 40.

The new design means you don't need two hands to use it.

There's only one size now and another one will follow in a few months.

A marketing campaign for this product has already been started.

Customers can buy the product in two months.

You will hear an interview with a journalist who reports on a prize for young scientists and engineers. Complete each of the following sentences with NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER taken from the recording.

SECTION ONE: LISTENING — Part 4 (TTS từ transcript)
Transcript — SECTION ONE: LISTENING — Part 4 (TTS từ transcript)
Interviewer: Today I am talking to our science reporter, Ryan, who has been looking at the current National Science and Engineering Competition. Tell me Ryan, what exactly is this competition and who can enter?

Ryan: It’s aimed at young scientists and engineers who have developed new Ideas completely of their own. They may be school projects or something they’ve done as a hobby, and the winners are awarded prizes and named Young Scientist and Young Engineer of the Year. Anyone aged 18 or under can take part, although the science category was won by a 17-year-old last year, as was the engineering one. The competition covers every area of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and is intentionally broadly based so as to encourage as many young people as possible to enter.

Interviewer: Has this competition been going long?

Ryan: It’s been an annual event since 2009, although it became much bigger in 2010 once more people became aware of it. And then the media started to take an interest in the Big Bang Fair, where the winners are announced. From that year on, there have been lectures by top speakers, and shows put on by national television channels.

Interviewer: What’s the Big Bang Fair all about?

Ryan: It’s a three-day fair for school students interested in science and engineering, with lots of things to do like interactive science quizzes, games and activities. For instance, one boy had set up a non-moving bicycle, like those you find in a gym, and was pedalling away energetically. But this was about electricity rather than exercise, with a challenge to anyone present to generate more than he could, as measured by the attached equipment. Nobody managed to, at least while I was there.

Interviewer: So they have a good time there, learning about Physics and Biology and things like that?

Ryan: Yes, there’s a plenty of fun things to do. But its real purpose is more serious: to promote careers in those subjects, especially where there is a national skills gap in particular areas. This is done in a wide range of ways, and a study into how this can be extended is currently being carried out by the Centre for Science Education.

Interviewer: How many people go to the fair and who are they?

Ryan: The total number of people at the most recent one was over 22,500, of whom at least two-thirds, according to the figures I have, would have been of secondary-school age, with teachers and parents making up rather less than a quarter between them. Over 110 public and private organisations from across the country were represented, and it was clear that everyone there had a genuine desire to raise awareness of young people's achievements in science and technology.

Interviewer: How many of them were actually involved in the competition?

Ryan: People can enter either as individuals or as part of a team, so that whereas in total 193 projects were presented, there were actually 312 competitors working in the fields of science, technology, mathematics and engineering.

Interviewer: What kind of projects were there?

Ryan: In one I particularly liked, the team built quite complicated structures in the shape of road bridges ... entirely in chocolate. Most were surprisingly strong, though of course any that collapsed could simply be eaten, in another, a team managed to convert coffee into a gas that then became the source of energy for a car, successfully covering the 300 kilometres to the fair. Finding alternatives to petrol as a fuel was a common theme, not surprisingly, with many entries aimed at reducing the amount of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere.

Interviewer: How is the winning entry decided?

Ryan: The final is held at the Big Bang Fair, where the number of entries is reduced to a shortlist of six. Neither individuals nor teams need to make a formal presentation to a big audience, but they are expected to be able to give a clear explanation, going into some detail about their project so that it can be properly assessed by the five judges. They may well be asked things about it, too, partly to see how well they respond to questions.

Interviewer: So it’s not only the quality of the work they do that counts?

Ryan: Well, that’s the main thing of course, but they also take into account their communication skills as the winners may have the chance to speak in public, including on TV, on behalf of young scientists and engineers.

Interviewer: That must appeal to quite a lot of teenagers.

Ryan: Yes, it certainly does.

Interviewer: So when do we know who’s won this year?

Ryan: It's quite a long process. So although all entries had to be in by October the thirty-first, we'll have to wait until nearly the spring to find out. It'll actually be on the first day of the next Big Bang Fair, which runs from March the eleventh to the thirteenth.

Interviewer: I’m sure that will be followed with a lot of interest. Thank you, Ryan.

SECTION THREE: READING COMPREHENSION — Part 3

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer (A, B, C, or D) to each of the questions.

Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It’s a special, dark place completely different from anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don’t know it’s raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn’t always reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth’s surface, about six percent. They are found in tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the “lungs of our planet” because it produces twenty percent of the world’s oxygen. One fifth of the world’s fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world’s species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth’s rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from rainforests, it’s surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, 6,000 square meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.

What is the author's purpose in the passage?

Why don’t people know it’s raining in the rainforests?

The word “humid” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.

The following are the facts about rainforests, EXCEPT ______.

What can be inferred from the last passage?

SECTION THREE: READING COMPREHENSION — Part 4

You are going to read an article about a psychology test carried out on very young children. Answer the questions by choosing from the sections (A-D). The sections may be chosen MORE THAN ONCE.

The Marshmallow Test
A psychology experiment carried out with a group of pre-school children in California in 1968 led to the development of ideas that are still relevant today.
A
In 1968, Walter Mischel set a challenge for a group of children aged three to five at the nursery school his daughters attended in California. A researcher offered each of them a marshmallow and then left them alone in the room. If they could resist eating the colourful sweet until the researcher returned up to 15 minutes later, they would be given a second sweet. Some children ate the marshmallow straight away, but most would engage in unintentionally comic attempts to resist temptation. They looked all around the room to avoid seeing the sweet, covered their eyes, wiggled around in their seats or sang to themselves. They pulled funny faces, played with their hair, picked up the marshmallow and just pretended to take a bite. They sniffed it, pushed it away from them or covered it up. If two children were doing the experiment together, they engaged in a conversation about how they could work together to reach the goal of doubling their pleasure. About a third of the children, the researchers reported, managed to wait long enough to get the second treat.
B
What Mischel, a clinical psychologist, wanted was to understand how children learned to deal with temptation. Over the following years, the group of children remained friends. When Mischel chatted to his daughters about their former classmates, he began to notice an interesting pattern: the children who had exhibited the most restraint in the “marshmallow test” were doing better in life than their peers. He decided to investigate further. For more than 40 years, Mischel followed the lives of the nursery students. His findings were extraordinary. It turns out that being able to resist a treat at the age of five is a strong predictor of success in life: you are more likely to perform well at school and develop self-confidence and less likely to become obese, develop addictions or get divorced.
C
Mischel still teaches psychology at Columbia University and has just written The Marshmallow Test, a book summing up half a century of research. When Mischel was young, his family was forced to move from a comfortable life in Austria to the US. They settled in Brooklyn, where they opened a bargain shopping store. Business was never good and Mischel believes that moving from “upper middle class to extreme poverty” shaped his outlook. He is concerned with trying to reduce the impact of deprivation on an individual’s life chances. The conclusion he draws from his marshmallow research is positive: some people may be naturally disciplined but the ability to resist temptation is a skill that can also be taught. Teach children self-control early and you can improve their prospects.
D
However, no single characteristic - such as self-control - can explain success or failure. Some critics have pointed out that Mischel’s original subjects were themselves children of university professors and graduate students - not exactly a representative sample. Other scientists noted that variations in home environment could account for differences: stable homes and one-child families encourage self-control, whereas in less stable homes and those with many children, if you don’t grab a marshmallow now there won’t be any left in 15 minutes. Mischel answers these critics by noting that studies in a wide variety of schools found similar results. He acknowledges that the environment shapes our ability to resist temptation and observes that genetics plays a role too. But he still believes that the ability to resist temptation can be learnt and encouraged. I asked Mischel whether self-control comes easily to him. “Not at all,” he said. “I have great difficulties in waiting. It’s still difficult for me to wait in a queue in the bank.”

In which section does the writer mention how a child’s background can affect behaviour?

In which section does the writer mention that the results of Mischel’s long-term research were surprising?

In which section does the writer mention reasons for questioning the results of the original experiment?

In which section does the writer mention claims that training young children to resist temptation will have long-term benefits?

In which section does the writer mention the proportion of very young children who were able to resist temptation?

In which section does the writer mention an everyday example of the need for self-control?

In which section does the writer mention that Mischel may have oversimplified the route to success in life?

In which section does the writer mention that Mischel’s own life experience has influenced his work?

In which section does the writer mention strategies employed by participants during the test procedure?

In which section does the writer mention two major factors which affect everyone’s ability to resist temptation?

SECTION THREE: READING COMPREHENSION — Part 5

The reading passage below has five paragraphs A-E. Read the passage and choose the correct heading for each paragraph from the list of headings below. Write the correct heading i-vii. There are two headings you do not need.

List of Headings
i. An increasing divergence of attitudes towards AI
ii. Reasons why we have more faith in human judgement than in AI
iii. The superiority of AI projections over those made by humans
iv. The process by which AI can help us make good decision
v. The advantages of involving users in AI processes
vi. Widespread distrust of an AI innovation
vii. Encouraging openness about how AI functions

Attitudes towards AI
A.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can already predict the future. Police forces are using it to map when and where crime is likely to occur. Doctors can use it to predict when a patient is most likely to have a heart attack or stroke. Researchers are even trying to give AI imagination so it can plan for unexpected consequences.
Many decisions in our lives require a good forecast, and AI is almost always better at forecasting than we are. Yet for all these technological advances, we still seem to deeply lack confidence in AI predictions. Recent cases show that people don’t like relying on AI and prefer to trust human experts, even if these experts are wrong.
If we want AI to really benefit people, we need to find a way to get people to trust it. To do that, we need to understand why people are so reluctant to trust AI in the first place.
B.
Take the case of Watson for Oncology, one of the technology giant IBM’s supercomputer programs. Their attempt to promote this program to cancer doctors was a PR disaster. The AI promised to deliver top-quality recommendations on the treatment of 12 cancers that accounted for 80% of the world’s cases. But when doctors first interacted with Watson, they found themselves in a rather difficult situation. On the one hand, if Watson provided guidance about a treatment that coincided with their own opinions, physicians did not see much point in Watson’s recommendations. The supercomputer was simply telling them what they already knew, and these recommendations did not change the actual treatment.
On the other hand, if Watson generated a recommendation that contradicted the experts’ opinion, doctors would typically conclude that Watson wasn’t competent. And the machine wouldn’t be able to explain why its treatment was plausible because its machine-learning algorithms were simply too complex to be fully understood by humans. Consequently, this has caused even more suspicion and disbelief, leading many doctors to ignore the seemingly outlandish AI recommendations and stick to their own expertise.
C.
This is just one example of people’s lack of confidence in AI and their reluctance to accept what AI has to offer. Trust in other people is often based on our understanding of how others think and having experience of their reliability. This helps create a psychological feeling of safety. AI, on the other hand, is still fairly new and unfamiliar to most people. Even if it can be technically explained (and that’s not always the case), AI’s decision-making process is usually too difficult for most people to comprehend. And interacting with something we don’t understand can cause anxiety and give us a sense that we’re losing control.
Many people are also simply not familiar with many instances of AI actually working, because it often happens in the background. Instead, they are acutely aware of instances where AI goes wrong. Embarrassing AI failures receive a disproportionate amount of media attention, emphasising the message that we cannot rely on technology. Machine learning is not foolproof, in part because the humans who design it aren’t.
D.
Feelings about AI run deep. In a recent experiment, people from a range of backgrounds were given various sci-fi films about AI to watch and then asked questions about automation in everyday life. It was found that, regardless of whether the film they watched depicted AI in a positive or negative light, simply watching a cinematic vision of our technological future polarised the participants’ attitudes. Optimists became more extreme in their enthusiasm for AI and sceptics became even more guarded.
This suggests people use relevant evidence about AI in a biased manner to support their existing attitudes, a deep-rooted human tendency known as “confirmation bias”. As AI is represented more and more in media and entertainment, it could lead to a society split between those who benefit from AI and those who reject it. More pertinently, refusing to accept the advantages offered by AI could place a large group of people at a serious disadvantage.
E.
Fortunately, we already have some ideas about how to improve trust in AI. Simply having previous experience with AI can significantly improve people’s opinions about the technology, as was found in the study mentioned above. Evidence also suggests the more you use other technologies such as the internet, the more you trust them.
Another solution may be to reveal more about the algorithms which AI uses and the purposes they serve. Several high-profile social media companies and online marketplaces already release transparency reports about government requests and surveillance disclosures. A similar practice for AI could help people have a better understanding of the way algorithmic decisions are made.
