Part C. Reading Comprehension

Directions: In this part of the test, you will read two passages. Each passage is followed by four questions. Answer the questions by choosing the best choice (1), (2), (3), or (4). Then mark your answer sheet.

PASSAGE 1:

A few decades ago, professional footballers spent their nights partying. Now, they are much more aware of the benefits of a good night’s sleep.

The change began in the mid- 1990s, when mattress salesman Nick Littlehales contacted the manager of the Manchester United football team, Alex Ferguson, asking whether he had ever considered how sleep affected performance on the football field. Interested, Ferguson arranged for Littlehales to give a presentation to his team. Before long, the whole team had new mattresses and pillows, and Littlehales soon became football’s leading mattress advisor. In 1998, he supplied mattresses for England’s World Cup team, and at the 2004 Euros, he created individual sleep routines for every player.

Gradually, club managers began to pay more attention to scientific sleep research, and for good reason. In 2011, a sleep specialist discovered that increasing sleep to 8-10 hours per night massively increased the speed and shot accuracy of basketball players. Other research shows that a single night of inadequate sleep can increase the risk of injury, and 64 hours of bad sleep reduces strength, power and balance, and can even cause the body to eat its own muscles!

۹۳-What does the passage mainly discuss?

۱) A complete change in sleeping habits

۲) Club managers and their decisions

۳) The importance of sleep in professional sports

۴) The relationship between sleep and sports injury

Answer option: 3

۹۴- According to the passage, Alex Ferguson ——-

۱) was attracted to Littlehales’ idea

۲) was amazed by his players’ partying

۳) had a strange experience in the mid- 1990s

۴) asked Littlehales to create sleep routines for his players

Answer option: 1

۱) ordered

۲) chose

۳) donated

۴) provided

Answer option: 4

۲) It corrects a wrong belief which was described in the previous sentenc.

۳) It adds more information to support what was stated earlier in the paragraph.

۴) It explains that the argument given in the previous sentence is not based on facts.

Answer option: 3

PASSAGE 2:

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It is easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?

Education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It is not a popular opinion and it is unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.

One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there are not enough teachers and 9- 16 per cent of children under the age of 14 do not go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and will not get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.

۹۷- What does the passage mainly discuss?

۱) Robots in education

۲) How robots connect with humans

۳) Different types of robot teachers

۴) How education will change in 2027

Answer option: 1

۱) avoiding

۲) warning

۳) consuming

۴) identifying

۱) does not seem to come true

۲) has not been explained properly

۳) has made human teachers worried

۴) has supporters all around the world

Answer option: 1

۱) ۹- ۱۶% of children younger than 14 want to work, but not go to school.

۲) Human teachers are not available in some parts of the world.

۳) Robots can help human teachers feel less stressed or tired.

۴) Most of the teachers are not paid enough money.

Answer option: 2
