AI in the Workplace

A decade ago, Artificial Intelligence was mostly confined (0) TO research labs and science fiction. Today, it is embedded in everyday tools, from email filters to medical scanners, and it is increasingly relied (1) .......... by organisations that want faster decisions. Yet the public debate often focuses (2) .......... dramatic headlines rather than the quieter reality of gradual change. In many companies, AI is used to assist staff (3) .......... routine tasks, allowing them to concentrate on work that requires judgement. However, managers sometimes expect too much (4) .......... the technology, forgetting that systems are only as good as the data they are trained on. When results look impressive, it is tempting to attribute success (5) .......... the algorithm alone, even though human choices still shape what the system learns. There is also the question of accountability. If an automated decision leads (6) .......... unfair outcomes, responsibility cannot simply be shifted to a machine. Regulators are therefore pushing for clearer rules, and many firms are trying to comply (7) .......... emerging standards on transparency. Ultimately, the most productive approach is to treat AI as a tool to work (8) .........., not a replacement for human expertise.

What to do

In this part, you read a text with eight gaps and choose the best word from four options to fit each gap.

Nothing prepares you for this test better than reading.

Read a lot. Candidates who often read in English (for work, for fun) find this part of the test manageable, while those who never read tend to find it very hard.

If you are 100% sure that two of the 4 choices are completely identical, then neither can be the answer. There is always only one word that fits grammatically and has the right meaning.

Usually the correct option will be part of a fixed phrase or collocation, a phrasal verb, a connector or the only word that fits grammatically in the gap.

Strategy

  1. Read the title and the whole text quickly to understand its general meaning before you attempt the task.
  2. Check the words before and after the gap.
  3. Choose the best option.
  4. When you have finished, read the text again with the words inserted to check that it makes sense.
