In about 230 B.C., the Greek scientist Archimedes developed the world’s first elevator. It was a simple platform that could be pulled up and down with a rope. An elevator like this was used much later by twelfth-century priests who lived on a mountaintop at Metereo in Greece. Because they were 47. ____ (fright) of thieves, the priests had not built any stairs up the mountain. The only way up was by the elevator, which the priests operated from the top of the mountain.

Section B (10 marks)
Questions 56—60 are based on the following passage.
Have you ever thought about how your body works? Every day you make your body do lots of different actions, such as when you walk, talk, or dance. But at the same time, your body automatically does many other things that are essential for everyday life. For instance, when you blink or yawn or breathe, you don’t have to think about what you are doing; your body simply carries out these tasks for you. You might think this is strange, but the latest houses are like this, too.
Now, thanks to the work of some far-sighted architects and designers, houses have become more ‘intelligent’. It isn’t quite true to say that houses are starting to think for themselves, but some modern homes are now using sophisticated technology to control many of the routine jobs that up to now have always been our responsibility.
For years, architects and builders have been trying to find ways to make houses more economical and comfortable to live in, as well as trying to reduce the amount of damage that houses do to the environment. ‘Intelligent’ housing seems to be the ideal solution. Clever use of building materials and techniques has brought us houses that are easier and cheaper to keep warm than traditional housing. Modern water systems, together with the recycling of washing water from bathrooms and kitchens, means that ‘intelligent’ houses use 30% less water than conventional homes.
‘Intelligent’ homes might look a little unusual from the outside. This is because the builders use a lot of glass and wood to make the walls. Some of the houses even have a grass roof because it’s kinder to the atmosphere! But, inside, they are comfortable and bright. The technology, which is similar to that of your TV remote control, makes sure of this. There are always enough lights on in every room and the windows close when it starts to rain. The water is always at the correct temperature whenever you want to have a shower and the house doesn’t allow you to use more water than you need. You can even use the close-circuit cameras to see what’s happening in the garden.
Until recently, we have always had to think about everything we want our house to do. If we have wanted it to be warmer or cooler, lighter or darker, we have had to turn the heating or the lighting on or off. However, for some families already living in ‘intelligent’ houses, daily life has changed in many ways. They don’t worry about turning off the light or locking the door before they go out. The house does all this for them. Families in ‘intelligent’ houses don’t have to do as much work to keep their home clean and comfortable and the hi-tech kitchen means it isn’t difficult to prepare family meals.
However, what happens, for example, if the computer systems that control everything in the house suddenly break down? What can we do if a computer virus somehow gets into the system and changes all the automatic programs? Designers are working on these and other problems, so ‘intelligent’ houses are still improving. Who knows, perhaps some designers are trying to create a house that can even do your homework!

Section C (10 marks)
Questions 61—65 are based on the following passage.
In gender stereotyping, certain widely held images of male and female behavior are applied to individuals. In other words, an individual male or female is presumed to be like what society expects a male or female to be. Long before social scientists began studying these stereotypes, societies had recognized them. Some famous female characters in history have rebelled against them. Gender stereotypes have changed slightly through history, but they have not disappeared.
One in-depth cross-cultural investigation examined the patterns of gender stereotypes in 25 different countries. In the study, approximately 5,000 men and women were asked to evaluate a list of adjectives typically used to describe men or women. Individuals were asked to designate the adjectives as having either a positive or negative meaning. Then, based on the responses of the men and women, the researchers examined all the male adjectives together and all the female adjectives together.
The researchers found differences among the responses from various countries. In general, there was a tendency to stereotype men more negatively. Specifically, the majority of countries rated 17 of the male adjectives as negative. In comparison, only 5 of the female adjectives were judged negative by participants in 19 countries.
Typical masculine adjectives related to one’s ability to use tools, solve problems, or do work. An overall analysis of the data from the study revealed a clear tendency to describe females as passive, supportive, and altruistic.
The establishment of roles for boys and girls begins at the moment the sex of a child is determined. Parents decorate a baby’s room before the child is born in blue for a boy or pink for a girl. They choose masculine wallpaper, toys, and clothes for boys, and feminine decorations, dolls, and dresses for girls. Researchers have found that within 24 hours of a child’s birth, parents begin to describe boys and girls differently. As a result of such stereotyping by parents, children internalize appropriate roles and exhibit behavior suitable to their gender. Stereotypes are continually reinforced in pre-school years and gender differences become obvious by the time children reach the age of five.
Parents have been observed to reward gender-appropriate play and punish gender-inappropriate play in their children. Stereotypes also seem to play a part in how children are punished both at home and in schools. Boys are more often punished by being hit while girls receive loud verbal punishment.
The negative results of gender stereotyping have been the focus of much educational research. Many researchers have claimed that stereotyping has led to fewer girls studying degrees related to math and science in university. Stereotypes have also been suggested as a contributing factor to boys being labeled as bad students in school more often than girls, thus leading to more boys than girls dropping out of high school. In both instances, stereotypes have been linked to critical choices boys and girls make in school which directly affect their futures.
Questions 61—65
