Reading Passage 3
Questions 27–40
27 The correct answer is B:
The
text says, ‘3–14% of the global workforce will need to switch
to a different occupation within the next 10–15 years, and all workers will need to adapt as their
occupations evolve alongside increasingly capable machines’. This
sentence tells us how many
people will have to change the job that they do or the way that they work. The text then refers to
AI as ‘one aspect of the disruptive effects of technology on the labour market’, meaning that AI
is one of the causes of this change.
A is incorrect:
This paragraph tells
us about the proportion
of the labour force who will have to change their jobs because of AI; it does not specify what
kinds of jobs these will be.
C is incorrect:
This paragraph tells us
about the proportion of the
labour force who will have to change their jobs because of AI; it does not say how many will
have jobs in AI.
D is incorrect:
This paragraph explains the distinction between embodied and
disembodied AI but does not say anything about their different impacts on workers.
28 The correct answer is D:
The text says that Stella Pachidi ‘believes that some of the
most fundamental changes are happening as a result of the “algorithmication”
of jobs that are
dependent on data rather than on production – the so-called knowledge economy’. If something
results in fundamental changes in a particular area, this means that it
is a key factor in current
developments there.
