THIRD MID-TERM TEST

ROADMAP B2 (Units 5B, 6 & 7)

READING SECTION

1) Read the text. Say which writer (1–4) says the following statements. ____/12

The human body in 2050

It's always fun to look back at a film that predicted life in the year we are in now. Most of the time, the
predictions were wrong. After all, none of us are eating pills instead of food, wearing shiny spacesuits that
regulate our temperature or getting scanned from top to bottom when we get out of bed. We've asked four
futurists to tell us their predictions about 30 years' time to see if they can do better than the film-makers.

1 Adele Carnegie

It's extremely likely that we'll be able to share emotions and memories with other people so that they'll be
able to experience them, too. Clearly, the technology isn't available at the moment, but we have developed
techniques which might allow the fast transfer of data across neurons in the future. Sharing online will never
be the same again. Whenever we share a photo online, we'll be able to embed either the memory or the emotion
within it. When someone views the photo, they can absorb that emotion or memory to truly experience it. A
person's memories and feelings will live on beyond the person themselves.

2 Keigo Shibuya

We've all seen sci-fi films where the spaceship doctor waves a handheld machine over a person to scan them
and find out what's wrong with them. Well, I doubt we'll have this in 30 years but I do think we'll use
technology much more to monitor our health. For example, our bathroom mirror will examine the colour of our
skin and check our pulse, the floor will weigh us and our toothbrush will analyse our saliva. The technology will
find any potential problem and send a warning so we can receive treatment before we get sick. The information
will also be used by our kitchens to make recommendations about the kind of food and drink we need to consume
so that we're in perfect shape for the day ahead.

3 Rohan Anand

It is probable that artificial intelligence will allow us to cure all major illnesses. How? By being able to read
research from around the world and make the connections that humans are unable to. These connections will
help us to fully understand the cause of the diseases and how to both prevent and cure them. Serious health
issues we suffer from now will become as minor as the common cold. Human doctors will no longer work as they
do now. In fact, most of us will communicate with AI when we visit a hospital. It will diagnose us, treat us and
send us on our way. This goes for both physical and psychological issues. AI will be able to detect our physical
responses when we talk about our problems and better understand where the main psychological problems are.

4 Katja Nowak

Biohacking will be something that more of us do. Already, people are inserting technology into their bodies to
make them stronger or to increase their senses. Take the man who has a microchip under his skin which
vibrates every time he faces north, for example. The technology allows him to enhance his sense of direction.
At the moment, people who do this are considered to be extreme. But in the future, people with physical
challenges might use this technology to overcome their difficulties. Of course, this probably won't come
without problems of its own. If we hack our bodies, others will be able to hack them, too.
