III- READING COMPREHENSION
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.
1.TECH NEWS
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had a huge impact on education. Here are some examples from around
the world.
To apply for a university or a job, secondary school students usually need to support their
applications with a list of relevant qualifications and work experience. Thanks to AI, they can now
effortlessly do that online. This app collects data from the learning and working experience that students
upload onto the app. Then the data is sorted into sets of skills which students can use for their job or
university applications.
AI chatbots are being used in many schools and universities around the world. They can help keep
students engaged in their learning by providing a more interactive experience. These virtual tutors can
explain concepts clearly, answer specific questions, and give feedback on homework. Students can seek
support from AI chatbots during and after classes so that they can understand the lessons better. They
can also create groups on chatbots to share ideas about projects and activities.
Schools in Hong Kong are bringing fascinating learning to the classroom through the power of virtual
reality (VR). This new way of teaching helps students learn valuable skills, provides 'hands-on’ experiences
when studying history or geography, and limits potential dangers of chemistry or physics experiments.
Guided virtual tours transport students back in time to study the history of Hong Kong or take them to
tropical forests to explore endangered species.

Unlike traditional media, digital media is transmitted as digital data, which at its simplest involves
digital cables or satellites sending binary signals –– 0s and 1s –– to devices that translate them into audio,
video, graphics, text, and more. Anytime you use your computer, tablet, or cellphone, opening web-based
systems and apps, you’re consuming digital media. Digital media might come in the form of videos, articles,
advertisements, music, podcasts, audiobooks, virtual reality, or digital art.
The digital age began to unfold in the second half of the 20th century, as computer technology slowly
infiltrated different industries and then moved into the public sphere. Yet analog technology remained
dominant even through the 1990s. In the years that followed, newspapers, magazines, radio, and
broadcast television were still the primary means of communication, with fax machines and pagers
becoming most people’s first casual forays into the digital world.
