Exam tasks English C1 – matching headings and sentences to texts. Science and Technology is a topic that can surprise with difficult vocabulary on the English exam. Practice reading comprehension on long texts and prepare for 100%!
Task 1 of 5
1. Read the text and choose the statement that best summarizes it.
The seamless integration of highly sophisticated Artificial Intelligence into the field of medical diagnostics represents a profound paradigm shift in modern healthcare. While self-learning algorithms can process unimaginably vast amounts of clinical data with unprecedented precision—often identifying obscure patterns invisible to the human eye—medical experts firmly caution that human intuition, ethical judgment, and profound empathy remain utterly irreplaceable when delivering sensitive, life-altering diagnoses to highly vulnerable patients.

Task 2 of 5
2. Read the text and choose the statement that best summarizes it.
The advent of fully functional quantum computing promises to completely and irreversibly revolutionize the landscape of global cybersecurity. By performing incredibly complex mathematical calculations exponentially faster than any classical supercomputer, quantum machines will eventually render our current, supposedly impenetrable encryption methods entirely obsolete, forcing governments and corporations into a frantic, complete overhaul of their digital security infrastructure to prevent massive data breaches.

Task 3 of 5
3. Read the text and choose the statement that best summarizes it.
Biometric surveillance systems, including advanced facial recognition software, have seamlessly and quietly infiltrated our public spaces, promising significantly enhanced national security. However, this comes at the sheer, undeniable expense of personal privacy. Numerous civil rights advocates are deeply concerned that such ubiquitous, unregulated tracking might eventually lead to the terrifying normalization of an Orwellian surveillance state where anonymity is practically illegal.

Task 4 of 5
4. Read the text and choose the statement that best summarizes it.
The disturbing phenomenon of planned obsolescence, a strategy where electronic devices are intentionally and meticulously designed with a limited, predetermined lifespan, forces unaware consumers into a continuous, expensive cycle of constant purchasing. This highly unethical corporate strategy not only drains personal finances but also contributes massively to the rapidly escalating global crisis of toxic electronic waste polluting developing nations.

5. Read the text and choose the statement that best summarizes it.
Virtual Reality (VR) is rapidly transcending its initial, purely recreational gaming applications to become a potent and highly effective educational tool in universities worldwide. By simulating historically accurate, highly immersive environments or allowing students to safely practice incredibly complex surgical procedures without risk, VR immerses learners in interactive scenarios that traditional, static textbooks could never possibly replicate.
