Cambridge Computer Science passage reading?

1

I was just invited for an interview for Computer Science at Cambridge. In the interview, there is a period of time (15 minutes) allocated for 'Passage reading'. I was also sent the locked passage document a couple days ago. I was wondering if anyone who did an interview knows what this is for and whether it differs from Cambridge Computer Science mock-interviews posted to Youtube?

Also was anyone asked about their Personal Statement?
