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 from 56 to 62
Internationally, ‘giftedness’ is most frequently determined by a score on a general intelligence test, known as
an IQ test, which is above a chosen cutoff point, usually at around the top 2-5%. Children’s educational
environment contributes to the IQ score and the way intelligence is used. For example, a very close positive
relationship was found when children’s IQ scores were compared with their home educational provision
(Freeman, 2010). The higher the children’s IQ scores, especially over IQ 130, the better the quality of their
educational backup, measured in terms of reported verbal interactions with parents, number of books and
activities in their home etc.
Excellence does not emerge without appropriate help. To reach an exceptionally high standard in any area
very able children need the means to learn, which includes material to work with and focused challenging tuition
- and the encouragement to follow their dream. There appears to be a qualitative difference in the way the
intellectually highly able think, compared with more average-ability or older pupils, for whom external
regulation by the teacher often compensates for lack of internal regulation.
Yet in order to learn by themselves, the gifted do need some support from their teachers. Conversely, teachers
who have a tendency to ‘overdirect’ can diminish their gifted pupils’ learning autonomy. Although ‘spoon-
feeding’ can produce extremely high examination results, these are not always followed by equally impressive
life successes. Too much dependence on the teachers risks loss of autonomy and motivation to discover.
But scientific progress is not all theoretical, knowledge is a so vital to outstanding performance: individuals
who know a great deal about a specific domain will achieve at a higher level than those who do not (Elshout,
1995). Research with creative scientists by Simonton(1988) brought him to the conclusion that above a certain
high level, characteristics such as independence seemed to contribute more to reaching the highest levels of
expertise than intellectual skills, due to the great demands of effort and time needed for learning and practice.
Creativity in all forms can be seen as expertise mixed with a high level of motivation (Weisberg, 1993).
(Adapted from Cambridge Ielts 10)

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.
AI's influence on the creative business sector is growing rapidly, but its exact impact is still unknown. Many
leaders are trying to understand and integrate it at both the employee and broader business levels to create
transformational impact and future-ready businesses. This is further evidenced by recent research by Adobe’s Eric
Hall, which surveyed 8,000 marketers and executives globally on AI. The findings showed that 90 per cent agreed that
AI will transform marketing and creative functions but only 24 per cent have developed an AI roadmap aligned with
broader business goals.
In an interview with Euro news Next, Hall shared his tips for how the transition might unfold for marketing teams.
What skillsets are needed, what roles will change and how will the technology change the way cross-departmental
teams work together? His number one tip? Start with experimentation and be proactive. Like developing any new
skill, integrating AI into workflows begins with establishing a daily practice. Whether it’s to generate interactions of
social copy or explore customer research, AI can create quick wins and efficiencies. Hall also emphasizes the
importance of experimenting with prompts and questions, essential skills for marketers to develop. “Being familiar
with the capabilities, the skill sets, how you write a prompt effectively - these are things that you can learn now.
Most of us should be out there learning how to be pretty strong in our prompt engineering skills.”
The next step involves experimenting with AI-integrated features in existing work tools which would remove barriers
to adoption without the need for entirely new processes. For instance, Adobe's FireFly suite incorporates AI into editing
and production tools already familiar to marketers. Creative teams are already reaping the rewards. AI is increasing the
variation of prototypes, reducing go-to-market times and improving connection with the customer, says Hall.
Additionally, AI isn't solely beneficial for customer-facing activities and roles; (I) it also plays a crucial role in
dismantling internal silos and fostering collaboration across cross-functional teams. (II). Hall suggests these benefits
will propel the marketing teams forward leading them to become a bigger part of the overall growth strategy of the
business. (III). “I think marketing teams are unlikely to shrink. I think they're more likely to become larger as
marketing can become a bigger growth engine for companies,” he said.(IV)
AI has undeniably ushered in a new era of creative possibilities. This technology will continue to democratize creative
expression by breaking down barriers and making it easier for individuals to unleash their creativity. This makes it a
poignant time for young people to be in the business as they are ahead of the curve when it comes to understanding
tech.
