The Return of AI IELTS Reading Answers — Adapted Review

How to approach this passage

1. Label paragraphs by function: public attention, the origin of the field, earlier expectations, applications and future uses. Match each question to its specific function.
2. Keep a timeline of the periods mentioned. A difficult decade for a research field does not automatically mean that every year within it was the lowest point.
3. For the True / False / Not Given group, look for evidence about prior collaboration, relative spending and the extent of success. Familiarity with modern AI cannot fill a missing historical detail.
4. In the final multiple-choice questions, distinguish disappointment with broad theories from success with specific applications. The writer and individual researchers may describe different parts of that contrast.

Worked review example

A question asking where the expression artificial intelligence was first used needs the passage containing the historical naming event. A paragraph describing the film AI explains renewed public discussion, which is a different question even though both paragraphs concern the term.

Common mistake to avoid

Do not update the answers with current knowledge about AI. A historical passage is marked according to the information it supplies.
