In any web search for the world's famous scientists, Marie Curie always receives a mention. Curie, a Polish and naturalised French physicist and chemist, discovered radiation, helped apply it in the field of X- rays and coined the term radioactivity. She made a huge contribution to science, but was one of the very few women who gained the recognition they deserved. Science was man's world in the nineteenth century. And yet, Mary Anning became an expert in fossils and geology. Coming from a poor family, she collected fossils on the beach and sold them to make a little money. She found fossils of complete marine reptiles that became extinct over 100 million years ago. She gained the respect of scientists, but living in an era when women weren't allowed to vote or attend university, she was not allowed to join the Geological Society of London. A hundred years later, conditions were still difficult for female scientists. Rosalind Franklin, a chemist born in 1920, was part of a team who discovered the molecular structure of DNA. Tragically, she died aged thirty-seven, four years before her fellow scientists, all men, were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962. They made no reference to Franklin in their acceptance speech. In cases where women's achievements were recognised, we still find evidence of discrimination in the way these were reported in the press. When the brilliant chemist Dorothy Hodgkin was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1964 for discovering the molecular structure of penicillin and vitamin B12, the paper headline was Oxford Housewife Wins Nobel. In fact, this housewife was also a professor at Oxford University. Today, the gender gap in the world of science is slowly closing and there are many female scientists inspiring new generations of girls to study scientific subjects. But there are still some ways to go for women to be equally represented in science. Question 23. The word coined in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to __________.

Dorothy Hodgkin was not held in high esteem at Oxford University. C. Mary Anning couldn’t join the Geological Society of London due to poverty. D. A struggle for gender equality in the world of science still continues. Question 29. In which paragraph does the author explore the societal limitations placed on women? A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 Question 30. In which paragraph does the author mention a present concession relationship? A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 Read the following passage about testing intelligence and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40. [I] Fifty or sixty years ago, computers were very simple machines, but even then scientists believed that one day machines would be able to 'think' and that they would probably be as intelligent as humans. [II] Alan Turing, who had helped to break the German Enigma code during the Second World War, came up with an answer. [III] In a Turing test, judges sit at a screen and have a chatroom conversation with the chatbot programme. They don’t know if they are chatting with another person or with a chatbot. After exchanging messages for five minutes, the judge decides if he or she is chatting with a human or a machine. [IV] An American called Hugh Loebner was fascinated by Turing’s idea, and in the early 1990s he offered a prize of $100,000 to the creator of the first chatbot to pass the Turing test. In order to win the $100,000, a chatbot must convince at least 30% of the judges that it is human. Many chatbots have entered the competition, but so far no chatbot has won the big money prize. Mitsuku, however, came very close. In the conversation at the beginning of this article, Mitsuku is A and the real human is B. You can tell that A is not human because at one point in the conversation, A says ‘Humans are not too intelligent at times’. Although Mitsuku failed to win the $100,000, it certainly won’t be long before a chatbot is able to fool the Loebner judges into thinking that it is a real person. But is the Turing test a good way to decide if a machine is intelligent? Critics argue that the chatbots in the competition are merely imitating humans. Humans are the only animals on Earth that can speak, and that's why Turing chose to focus on it. But what is really impressive, critics say, is machines that do things that we can't do. For example, it is amazing that Google can search hundreds of millions of websites for a single word in a matter of seconds, or that a NASA computer can control a rocket on a journey from Earth to Jupiter. Fans of the Turing test, on the other hand, feel that humans are themselves machines. It's just that our brains are far more complex than computers. As philosopher and scientist Daniel Dennett said in a recent interview, ‘It’s not impossible to have a conscious robot. You’re looking at one.’ Question 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit? The question was, 'How can we measure the intelligence of a machine?' A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV] Question 32. The word they in paragraph 1 refers to __________. A. computers B. judges C. messages D. humans Question 33. What is indicated about judges in a Turing test in paragraph 1? A. They are kept in the dark about who they are talking with. B. They are unaware of the main purpose of the test.
