Wooden
Buildings
advantages
of
wood
comes
at
the
end
of
a
building's
life,
in
around
100
years'
time.
When
the
Wood
Innovation
and
Design
Centre
eventually
has
to
be
demolished,
it
will
be
possible
for
its
principal
building
material
to
be
recycled,
which
is
not
usually
practical
with
steel
or
concrete.
Other
significant
wooden
buildings
are
to
be
found
in
locations
around
the
world.
Perhaps
not
surprisingly,
given
that
the
Höryü-ji
Temple
may
be
the
oldest
large
wooden
building
in
the
world,
Japanese
engineers
are
at
the
forefront
of
this
process.
One
thing
that
has
been
learned
from
maintaining
the
Höryü-ji
Temple
over
many
centuries
is
that
it
is
often
simpler
to
make
major
repairs
to
wooden
structures
than
to
those
made
of
concrete
and
steel.
Until
quite
recently,
regulations
in
Japan
have
made
the
construction
of
very
large
wooden
structures
difficult.
However,
in
recognition
of
new
technologies,
these
are
being
relaxed
by
the
government,
with
the
result
that
ever
more
ambitious
projects
are
being
announced.
Perhaps
the
most
radical
example
is
the
proposed
Sumitomo
Tower,
a
skyscraper
of
70
storeys
to
be
built
largely
of
wood
in
central
Tokyo;
its
completion
date
is
2041.
Because
wood
is
more
flexible
than
steel,
it
has
great
potential
in
countries
prone
to
earthquakes,
such
as
Japan
and
New
Zealand.
Engineers
in
New
Zealand
believe
that
wood
construction
can
significantly
improve
building
safety
in
the
event
of
a
natural
disaster,
as
has
been
demonstrated
at
the
new
Wynn
Williams
House.
The
wood
has
been
left
exposed
inside
the
house
to
showcase
how
this
type
of
construction
provides
attractive
interiors
as
well.
Another
advantage
of
wood
is
that
it
is
so
light,
particularly
when
compared
to
steel
and
concrete.
In
Australia,
the
benefits
of
light
weight
have
been
taken
advantage
of
in
the
city
of
Melbourne,
where
a
large
wooden
library
has
been
constructed
directly
beside
water,
on
land
so
soft
that
a
heavier
building
would
have
been
impossible.
Furthermore,
wood
is
advantageous
even
in
extreme
climates.
In
Finland,
where
winter
temperatures
can
fall
to
-30°C,
wood
provides
all
the
load-bearing
structures
for
the
Puukuokka
Block,
but
also
guarantees
excellent
heat
insulation
as
well.
As
wood
construction
technologies
continue
to
develop,
it
seems
probable
that
architects
and
engineers
will
dream
up
ever
more
uses
for
this
practical,
flexible
and
beautiful
building
material.

READING PASSAGE-2 
You should spend about 20 minutes on 
Questions 14-26,
 which are based on Reading Passage 2 below. 
 
 
A
The first sports game was televised in the USA more than fifty years ago. 
Over the following decades television provided sports coaches with a wealth of 
information to analyse. By viewing recordings, they could study the number of 
passes received, tackles avoided, distances covered, speeds achieved and a host 
of other factors relating to the performance of their teams or athletes. Most of 
this data, though, consisted of bare statistics without any meaningful context. 
However, the use of artificial intelligence (Al) is now enabling an alternative 
approach to coaching. Al means the development of computer systems that can 
perform tasks usually associated with human intelligence, such as decision 
making. Increasingly, computers are being trained to understand the rules and 
objectives of sports so they can coach more directly. Al can analyse not only a 
player's actions, but also relate those actions to the wider context, including the 
directives of the coach and the actions of other players. Sports scientists believe 
that Al is revolutionising sports coaching by analysing patterns of behaviour in 
ways simply not possible before.
B
There may be limitless ways in which Al technology can be developed, but 
certain practical applications are already apparent. Recently, a research 
experiment was conducted into the Spanish football league using an Al 
algorithm to analyse the passing strategies of 20 teams. The research revealed 
that two teams, Barcelona and Real Madrid, had more than 150 recurring 
passing patterns. However, the algorithm detected just 31 passing patterns used 
by Atlético Madrid. All of Atlético's other plays were one-offs that were never 
repeated, and the team won the league that season. One conclusion seems to be 
that teams with a less predictable style of play win more games. What's more, 
according to Dr Johann Muller, a sports scientist who has studied the Spanish 
research findings, the number of injuries a team suffers increases when they 
play in a style that prioritises offence.
C
Since then, there has been a great deal of interest in the potential of Al. 
Professor of sports education Rebecca Graves believes that Al can provide 
coaches with invaluable insights. 'Tactics were once closely guarded secrets,' 
says Professor Graves, 'but now a coach with access to Al can identify how a 
rival team is likely to play a match based on historic form. Once this was largely 
guesswork but now it can be achieved with some confidence! The expense of Al 
technology means it will probably remain beyond the reach of all but elite 
teams, but among this group the implications are enormous. Professor Graves 
argues that Al allows preparations for a match to be tailored to individual 
players with much greater precision. She identifies fitness work, skills
development,
diet
and
numerous
other
factors
that
can
be
minutely
customised,
based
on
an
individual's
particular
strengths
and
weaknesses.
D
Part
of
the
appeal
of
Al
lies
in
its
versatility.
Ice
hockey
coaches
in
Finland
are
using
Al
to
analyse
the
success
of
different
plays.
An
Indian
company
has
employed
wearable
technology
developed
in
other
>ields
to
analyse
stride
patterns.
This
analysis
has
allowed
its
technicians
to
develop
sneakers
in
various
styles
aimed
at
both
long-
and
short-
distance
runners.
Coaching
practices
in
professional
basketball,
American
football
and
tennis
are
also
being
transformed
by
Al.
In
addition,
the
technology
has
applications
in
highly
technical
sports
such
as
car
racing.
Coaches
involved
in
the
National
Association
for
Stock
Car
Auto
Racing
(NASCAR)
believe
that
Al
algorithms
not
only
help
drivers
go
faster
but
also
enhance
the
safety
of
the
sport
because
of
their
ability
to
monitor
and
predict
potential
problems.

Al

powers

vision,
