(EC/NOVEMBER 2022) ENGLISH HOME LANGUAGE P1 3 SECTION A: COMPREHENSION QUESTION 1: READING FOR MEANING AND UNDERSTANDING Read TEXT A and TEXT B and answer the questions in your own words as far as possible. TEXT A A.I. VS HUMAN INTELLIGENCE 1 Artificial Intelligence has come a long way from being a component of science fiction to reality. Today, we have a host of intelligent machines, like self-driving cars, smart virtual assistants, chatbots, and surgical robots, to name a few. 2 While Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) seeks to design and create intelligent machines that can perform human-like tasks, one cannot help but think, “Is Artificial 5 Intelligence sufficient in itself?” Perhaps the biggest fear is that A.I. will ‘replace’ humans and outsmart them in a few years. Although A.I. is highly advanced – now that machines can learn from experience and make smart decisions – A.I. cannot function optimally without relying on innately human attributes like human intuition. 3 Artificial Intelligence is a branch of Data Science that focuses on building smart 10 machines capable of performing a wide range of tasks that usually require human intelligence and cognition1. These intelligent machines are imbued with learning from experience and historical data, analysing their surrounding environments, and performing the befitting actions. 4 A.I. is an interdisciplinary science that leverages concepts and tools from multiple 15 fields like computer science, cognitive2 science, linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, and mathematics. 5 Human Intelligence refers to humans’ intellectual capability that allows us to think, learn from different experiences, understand complex concepts, apply logic and reason, solve mathematical problems, recognise patterns, make 20 inferences and decisions, retain information, and communicate with fellow human beings. What makes human intelligence unique is that it is backed by abstract emotions like self-awareness, passion, and motivation that enable humans to accomplish complex cognitive tasks. 6 While Human Intelligence aims to adapt to new environments by utilising a 25 combination of different cognitive processes, Artificial Intelligence aims to build machines that can mimic human behaviour and perform human-like actions. The human brain is analogous3, but machines are digital. 7 Humans use the brain’s computing power, memory, and ability to think, whereas A.I.-powered machines rely on data and specific instructions fed into the 30 system. Human Intelligence is all about learning from various incidents and past experiences. It is about learning from mistakes made via a trial-and-error approach throughout one’s life. Intelligent thought and intelligent behaviour lie at the core of Human Intelligence. However, Artificial Intelligence falls behind in this respect – machines cannot think. 35 Copyright reserved Please turn over

4 ENGLISH HOME LANGUAGE P1 (EC/NOVEMBER 2022) 8 They can learn from data and through continuous training, but they can never achieve the thought process unique to humans. While A.I.-powered systems can perform specific tasks quite well, it can take years for them to learn a completely different set of functions for a new application area. 9 The Artificial Intelligence vs. Human Intelligence debate isn’t a fair one. 40 Although A.I. has helped develop intelligent machines that can outperform humans in some respects, they have yet to go a very long way to match the human brain’s potential. Although A.I. systems are designed and trained to mimic and simulate human behaviour, they cannot make rational decisions like humans. The decision-making power of A.I. systems is primarily based 45 on events, the data they’re trained on, and how they are related to a particular event. A.I. machines cannot understand the concept of ‘cause and effect’ simply because they lack common sense. Nick Burns, an SQL Services Data Scientist, puts it quite well: “No matter how good your models are, they are only as good as your data …”. Humans possess the unique ability to learn 50 and apply their acquired knowledge in combination with logic, reasoning, and understanding. Real-world scenarios require a holistic, logical, rational, and emotional approach that is specific to humans. 10 Right now, A.I. is still developing and advancing. The time required to train A.I. systems is considerably high, which isn’t possible without human 55 intervention. Be it autonomous cars and robots, or sophisticated technologies like natural language processing and image processing, they all rely on human intelligence. Presently, automation4 is the leading A.I. application that’s penetrating the industry rapidly. In a 2018 report by the World Economic Forum, the Swiss Think Tank predicted that by 2022, A.I. 60 would displace 75 million jobs globally while also creating 133 million new jobs. The new job profiles will demand Data Science specific skills like knowledge of Mathematics and Statistics and Machine Learning algorithms, proficiency in programming, data mining, data wrangling, software engineering, and data visualisation. It is the domain knowledge and versatile 65 skillset of such experts that create value out of Big Data5. 11 A.I. is an invaluable tool shaping the industry, and automation, coupled with intelligent workflow, will be the norm across all sectors in the near future. And while A.I. has mastered intelligent behaviour quite well, it cannot mimic a human’s thought process. Since scientists and researchers still don’t know 70 the mystery behind the human thought process, it is highly unlikely that we’ll create machines that can ‘think’ like humans anytime soon. To conclude, the future of A.I. will be governed mainly by human abilities. It will be complemented by human intelligence and cognizance.

TEXT C NEW CRYSTAL PRODUCED WITH GUNPOWDER IS STRONGER THAN DIAMONDS Diamonds may be a girl's best friend because of their shine and glam, but they are also helpful in practical ways. The super strong mineral is used as an industrial abrasive, on the edges of cutting tools, or on ultra-powerful drill bits. Whether they are used for adornment or tools, diamonds aren't cheap. Scientists have long hoped to find a way to create a material that is as strong as diamonds. Now they may have something better. It is believed that lonsdaleite diamonds, also referred to as hexagonal diamonds, are even stronger than diamonds. The rare six-sided crystalline mineral has seldom been found in nature – generally only at meteorite impact sites — and only in sample sizes that are too small to be measured. Its exact hardness remained unknown – until now. Researchers from Washington State University's Institute for Shock Physics have developed hexagonal diamonds large enough to study in a lab and test their stiffness and hardness. A diamond is unique. It is not only the strongest known material — it has beautiful optical properties and a very high thermal conductivity. Now scientists have made the hexagonal diamonds, produced under shock compression experiments, that are significantly stiffer and stronger than regular gem diamonds. Using gunpowder and compressed gas, the team launched dime-sized graphite disks at a transparent material at 15,000 miles per hour. Upon impact, shock waves coursed through the disks, transforming them into lonsdaleite. Sound travels more quickly via stiffer materials. So the researchers generated a small sound wave shortly after impact and used lasers to track its progress through the diamond. The lonsdaleite proved to be stiffer than a diamond.

(EC/NOVEMBER 2022) ENGLISH HOME LANGUAGE P1 9 Since more rigid materials are generally harder and more resistant to scratching, scientists concluded that a lonsdaleite diamond is stronger than a gem diamond by 58%, which is a new record. We don't need to worry that lab-created super-diamonds will make our precious jewels seem dull. The lonsdaleite diamond only lasted a few nanoseconds before the high-velocity impact obliterated the gem — just long enough for the team to get their measurements. If they can manage to keep them around longer, the rare, fleeting nature of lonsdaleite diamonds could make them more valuable than cubic zirconias (synthetic diamonds), but gem diamonds are destined to remain the most prized jewels.

(2) [10] QUESTION 5: USING LANGUAGE CORRECTLY Read TEXT G, which contains some deliberate errors, and answer the set questions. TEXT G HOW ARIANA GRANDE SCORED TWO NUMBER ONE ALBUMS IN JUST SIX MONTHS 1. “Ariana Grande is with vocals like Jimi Hendrix was with a guitar,” says Savan Kotecha, who has built an exceptional career as a songwriter. He has worked on every Ariana Grande album since 2014, when he first sat down with her to discuss songs that would later appear on My Everything, including the just- released Thank U, Next, which debuted at Number One and set a personal best 5 first-week sales number for the singer. 2. Rolling Stone asked him what had allowed her to build her career to the point where everything she touched was a hit, he had some revealing insights. 3. “She’s super inteligent. She learns fast. And she’s brave – things have happened in her life, and she could’ve run away from them. But she was brave 10 enough to say, I’m going to talk about it. Fans want to know about the artists they love. She offers that. After the unfortunate tragedy she’s been through, to be an open book with it, is bold. When I listen to this album, you learn about her. This to me is the first album of hers that I feel like you can listen to and really get to understand her. ‘Breathin’ was written on a day she was having 15 panic attacks. I saw a turning point where she said, ‘I’m just going to go for it and write the lyrics about this.’ 4. She also loves being in the studio – a lot of artists don’t. She loves the process of doing it until it’s right. Sometimes people get frustrated with the way me and Max and Ilya do things: if it’s not good enough, we keep fighting to achieve the 20 best version. She’s become a part of that thinking with us as well. [Adapted from https://www.rollingstone.com] Copyright reserved Please turn over
