correct answers in the spaces given below. There is one example. (10 points)
Line GENDER BIAS AND POVERTY
1 Inequality between men and women results from poorer health for children and greater
2 poverty for the family, according to a new study. The UN agency UNICEF found that in
3 places where women are excluded in family decisions, children are more likely to suffer
4 from malnutrition. It would be 13 million less malnourished children in South Asia if
5 women had an equal say in the family, UNICEF said.
6 UNICEF surveyed family decision-doing in 30 countries around the world. Their chief
7 finding is that equality between men and women is vital to reducing poverty and
8 improving health, especially that of children, in underdeveloping countries. The
9 conclusions are contained in the agency's latest report. This report points to a greater lack
10 of opportunities for girls and women in education and work which contribute to
11 disempowerment and poverty. Where men control the household, less money spends on
12 health care and food for the family, that results in poorer health for the children.
13 An increase in employment and income-earning opportunities for women will increase
14 their household power, the report said. For example, the agency found that whoever has
15 the greater share of household income and assets decides whether those sources will be
16 used for family needs.

Page 7 of 13
 Tulips are Old World, rather than New World, plants, with the origins of the species lying
in Central Asia. They became an integral part of the gardens of the Ottoman Empire from
the sixteenth century onward, and, soon after, part of European life as well. Holland, in
particular, became famous for its cultivation of the flower.
5 A tenuous line marked the advance of the tulip to the New World, where it was unknown in
the wild. The first Dutch colonies in North America had been established in New
Netherlands by the Dutch West India Company in 1624, and one individual who settled in
New Amsterdam (today's Manhattan section of New York City) in 1642 described the
flowers that bravely colonized the settlers' gardens. They were the same flowers seen in
1 Dutch still-life paintings of the time: crown imperials, roses, carnations, and of course
0 tulips. They flourished in Pennsylvania too, where in 1698 William Penn received a report
of John Tateham's “Great and Stately Palace” its garden full of tulips.
By 1760, Boston newspapers were advertising 50 different kinds of mixed tulip “roots” But
the length of the journey between Europe and North America created many difficulties.
Thomas Hancock, an English settler, wrote thanking his plant supplier for a gift of some
1 tulip bulbs from England, but his letter the following year grumbled that they were all
5 dead.
Tulips arrived in Holland, Michigan, with a later wave of early nineteenth-century Dutch
immigrants who quickly colonized the plains of Michigan. Together with many other
Dutch settlements, such as the one at Pella, Iowa, they established a regular demand for
European plants. The demand was bravely met by a new kind of tulip entrepreneur, the
2 traveling salesperson. One Dutchman, Hendrick Van Der Schoot, spent six months in 1849
0 traveling through the United States taking orders for tulip bulbs. While tulip bulbs were
traveling from Europe to the United States to satisfy the nostalgic longings of homesick
English and Dutch settlers, North American plants were traveling in the opposite direction.
In England, the enthusiasm for American plants was one reason why tulips dropped out of
fashion in the gardens of the rich and famous.

Part 3. Read the text and do the following tasks. (20 points)
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,

Page 9 of 13
 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
expert Hans Moravec thinks that in the future robots will be programmed with emotions such
as fear to protect themselves so that they can signal to humans 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

Page 10 of 13
 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.
Which paragraph contains the following information? Write the correct letter, A-F.
1. an insect that proves the superiority of natural intelligence over Artificial Intelligence.
2. robots being able to benefit from their mistakes.
3. many researchers not being put off believing that Artificial Intelligence will eventually be
developed.
4. the possibility of creating Artificial Intelligence being doubted by some academics.
5. no generally accepted agreement of what our brains do.
