  [00:03.89]Section I  Listening Comprehension   Part A Directions:

[00:09.77]For Questions 1- 5,

[00:13.30]you'll hear a monologue 1 of a famous chess master.

[00:18.26]While you listen,fill out the table with the information you've heard.

[00:23.72]Some of the information has been given to you in the table.

[00:29.00]Write only 1 word or number in each numbered box.

[00:35.24]You now have 25 seconds to read the table below.

[00:40.59]M:I got my first glimpse of artificial intelligence on Feb.10 1996,

[00:50.39]at 4:45 P.M.EST,

[00:54.83]when in the first game of my match with Deep Blue,

[00:59.79]the computer nudged a pawn 2 forward

[01:04.16]to a square where it could easily be captured.

[01:08.55]It was a wonderful and extremely human move.

[01:12.80]If I had been playing White,I might have offered this pawn sacrifice.

[01:19.15]It fractured Black's pawn structure and opened up the board.

[01:24.72]Although there did not appear to be a forced line of play that

[01:30.36]would allow recovery of the pawn,

[01:34.01]my instincts told me that with so many loose Black

[01:38.98]pawns and a somewhat exposed Black king,

[01:43.44]White could probably recover the material,

[01:48.09]with a better overall position to boot.

[01:52.46]But a computer,I thought,would never make such a move.

[01:57.50]A computer can't see the long-term consequences of structural 3 changes in the position

[02:04.66]or understand how changes in pawn formations may be good or bad.

[02:11.32]Humans do this sort of thing all the time.

[02:15.89]But computers generally calculate each line of play

[02:21.04]so far as possible within the time allotted 4.

[02:25.79]Because chess is a game of virtually limitless possibilities,

[02:32.16]even a beast like Deep Blue,

[02:36.42]which can look at more than 100 million positions a second,

[02:41.99]can go only so deep.

[02:45.46]When computers reach that point,they evaluate the various resulting positions

[02:52.02]and select the move leading to the best one.

[02:56.77]And because computers primary way of evaluating chess positions

[03:02.52]is by measuring material superiority,

[03:07.09]they are notoriously materialistic 5.

[03:11.45]If they understood the game,they might act differently,

[03:16.13]but they don't understand.
