Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
In today’s world, doctors utilize what we all know as X-rays to diagnose all sorts of problems: a broken bone,
pneumonia, heart failure, and much, much more. But not so long ago, these problems could not be identified without
cutting a person open.
Wilhelm Roentgen, Professor of Physics in Wurzburg, Bavaria, accidentally discovered X-rays in 1895 while
testing whether cathode rays could pass through glass. His cathode tube was covered in heavy black paper, so he was
surprised when he saw green light rays escaping and projecting onto a nearby fluorescent screen. Because he did not know
what these rays were, he called them ‘X,’ meaning ‘unknown,’ rays.
Through experimentation, Roentgen quickly found that X-rays would also pass through human tissue, making the
bones and tissue beneath visible. News of his discovery spread worldwide, and within a year, doctors in Europe and the
United States were using X-rays to locate gun shots, bone fractures, kidney stones and swallowed objects. These special
rays became so ubiquitous that even shoe stores offered free X-rays so that customers could see the bones in their feet.
Today, X-rays are still considered one of the most important discoveries in medicine, as they paved the way for
scientists to develop a broad spectrum of imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed
tomography (CT), ultrasound, echocardiography, and many others.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
When you’re sleepy, stressed or have had a few drinks, you’re not in the best position to drive - or even make that
decision. But automated cars could soon determine whether or not you can drive for you. In Europe, more than 25,000
people lose their lives on the road every year, while another 135,000 are seriously injured. And the main culprits are
speed, alcohol or drug driving, non-use of seat belts, distraction, and fatigue.
The type of automated cars on the road today provide steering, brake and acceleration support while the driver is
still at the wheel and constantly monitors the driving. These are known as level two on the car autonomy scale, but cars
could reach up to level five on the six-level scale in the future — becoming a completely driverless car. However, there is
still a long way to go and we have to take it step-by-step, says Dr Anna Anund from the Swedish National Road and
Transport Research Institute.
She and her team are developing a sensor-based system as part of a project to move towards level three, in which
the driver can rest and would only be expected to drive when the car requests it. The system would also automatically
transfer control between vehicle and driver to ensure road safety, especially when the driver is sleepy, stressed, distracted
or anxious. It also uses many types of sensors to keep tabs on the drivers’ state, such as eye trackers and sensors to
measure heart rate and changes in voice or face images, most of which are on the vehicle’s dashboard, wheel or seat.
But all of this is still not enough. Dr Anund also notes that each person varies and reacts differently in both normal
and impairment states, such as sleepiness, and therefore the system should work on an individual level. To measure heart
rate variability accurately, for example, information such as age and gender should be included or the initial state of the
driver should be used as a reference. ‘It’s important to develop systems where your individual preferences and behaviours
are incorporated, so we will also focus on human-computer interaction”, she said.
