The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is one of
the strongest structures ever built. It has survived for over 4,500 years, and is the only wonder that still
remains standing today. This wonder was constructed by 20,000 ordinary Egyptian workers who believed in
a national goal.
Originally, people believed that the workers who build the Great Pyramid were slaves. But experts
now say that this is not true. Many young men from local villages were asked to work on the Great Pyramid
by the king's men. In addition, the king hired many workers who had special skills, such as cutting and
setting large stone blocks. All these men were paid and given meals. They were also provided with housing
while they worked on the Great Pyramid.
But these men did not work on the Great Pyramid just for money. The pyramid was considered to be
a national project. So men worked on its construction with a sense of honor. They felt that they were special
to work on something so great. The Great Pyramid gave the people of Egypt a sense of national pride that
continues to this day.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Biorobotics is a field within robotic science which is based on the movements of living things. The
most famous biorobots look and move a lot like humans. However, there are several robots that have been
made to mimic animals. While many companies develop such robots as toys, some are used for practical

purposes.
One example of a biorobot is a flying robot that is based on the movements of bees. The robot,
named "Carlton", was developed by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence. Built to both
light and powerful, it can hover like a bee in tight spaces, and also change direction without losing speed.
This robot's abilities make it very useful for military and police research and rescue missions. For example,
Carlton can hide behind a tall wall, rise up to quickly look at what is on the other side, and then hide again. It
can also send video images of what it sees to soldiers in a safe location far away.
"Modsnake" is a robot that was modeled on snakes. This robot was developed by the Camegie
Mellon University Biorobotics Lab. It is made to move like a snake, so it can pass through narrow spaces,
move over all sorts of obstacles, climb poles, and even swim. The way Modsnake moves makes it useful for
a variety of tasks such as checking for survivors in collapsed buildings, finding damaged areas inside of
pipes and cleaning up oil spills in lakes and rivers.
A third robot, based on cockroaches, also has several uses. "Sprawl" was designed by a research team
at Stanford University to take videos and cover small objects. Like many six-legged robots Sprawl was made
to move like an insect. However, Sprawl is uncommonly fast and strong for its size, just like a real
cockroach. These characteristics make it particularly useful for military situations in which an enemy might
try to disable it. It is very difficult to shoot because it moves quickly and is relatively small. Even if an
enemy shoots Sprawl, it can usually keep functioning
Câu 43: What does the author imply about Modsnake?
A. It can be dangerous.
B. It has no legs.
C. It moves quickly.
D. It has no military uses.
Câu 44: The word disable is closest in meaning to
A. break
B. follow
C. see
D. buy
Câu 45: The word some refers to
A. robots

B. companies
C. toys
D. humans
Câu 46: According to the passage, Carlton can do all of the following things EXCEPT
A. change directions quickly.
B. hide behind walls.
C. send video images.
D. climb in tight spaces.
Câu 47: The word mimic in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
A. guard
B. understand
C. copy
D. teach
Câu 48: What is the passage mainly about?
A. Flying abilities of biorobots.
B. Biorobots based on animals.
C. Military uses of biorobots.
D. Biorobots that work like humans.
Câu 49: Which of the following is true of Sprawl?
A. It was originally built to destroy small objects. B. It was developed by a German research team.
C. It is smaller than a cockroach.
D. It is small but very solid.
Câu 50: Why is Sprawl useful in military situations?
A. It cannot be shot.
B. It can shoot at the enemy.
C. It is small enough to be shot from a gun.
D. It will usually keep working even when shot.
