<b>The Rise of Robots</b>



As kids, our grandparents frequently scared us by talking about how difficult life was when they
were growing up. They mentioned walking miles to school in the snow, or doing hours of manual labor
for little pay. Life has changed greatly since then, and it seems to get easier year by year. In fact, with
the help of robots we soon might have to do much at all. But is this a good thing?


By 2030, it's estimated that robotics will be a $10 billion business worldwide. Companies are
already starting to integrate them into the workforce. The electronics manufacturer Foxconn is drawing
up plans to launch a factory within the next 10 years that's completely staffed by robot workers.
Meanwhile, an American company Briggo has invented a robot that serves gourmet-quality coffee to
customers. With the push of a button it will crush coffee beans, measure exact quantities of water, and
even wave a steam wand to ensure customers get the perfect cream on top. Unlike human baristas, it can
serve multiple drinks at once and work all day and night without a break.


Robots are also invading our homes. The Rooma is a mini-robot that vacuums rooms automatically
according to a schedule. The Robomow is a device that will cut the grass for you while you sit in the
shade. Then there's the Nanda clocky, an alarm clock that makes sure that even the deepest sleepers get
up on time. The clock is attached to a pair of wheels, and it will randomly move around the room. Once
you finally catch it, you're probably too awake to hit the snooze button. Although these early home
robots are somewhat basic, they will likely become more capable as times goes on.


Although robots certainly help us to eliminate <i><b>tedious</b></i> tasks, many people are concerned about a
future filled with robots. Some fear that humanity will start to decline if machines do everything for us.
Others have even warned about the robot rebellion, in which robots become so smart that they may
decide to turn on their masters. These ideas may seem a bit far-fetched, but there are certainly lots of
questions that need to be answered before everyone opens up to the idea of a robotic future.


<b>Question 3.</b><i> The word "<b>tedious</b>" in the last paragraph mostly means ______________.</i>


<b>A.</b> boring <b>B.</b> difficult <b>C.</b> intelligent <b>D.</b> expensive



<b> Question 4.</b><i> Which of the following is <b>NOT</b> true about the concerns over roboties?</i>


<b>A.</b> Robots may be dominant at the workplace. <b>B.</b> Robots may do some harm to humans


<b>C.</b> The idea of robotics may seem far-fetched. <b>D.</b> It takes some time for people to accept robots.
<b> Question 5.</b><i><b> </b>How is Briggo's invention superior to human workers?</i>


</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(2)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=2>

<b>A.</b> It is better at conversation. <b>B.</b> It never has to stop.


<b>C.</b> It can operate machinery. <b>D.</b> It is more knowledgeable about coffee-making.
<b> Question 6.</b><i> What is the last paragraph mainly about?</i>


<b>A.</b> How people in local communities are supporting robots.
<b>B.</b> Some reasons why people don't accept robots yet.


<b>C.</b> A very amusing science-fiction story about robots.
<b>D.</b> A few of the latest robots on the market today.


<b> Question 7.</b><i> What would happen if you pressed the snooze button?</i>


<b>A.</b> You would have to wake up immediately <b>B.</b> The alarm would stop, but go off again soon
<b>C.</b> The alarm clock would turn off forever <b>D.</b> Nothing would happen at all

<i><b>Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the</b></i>
<i><b>correct answer to each of the questions</b></i>


<b> </b>Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding
natural resources. We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source of
environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production
practices. We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the
environment. Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which is abandoned and
poorly stored. <i><b>It</b></i> represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it degrades and leaks
into the earth without any control at all.


Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can affect all levels of an


ecosystem. It can affect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability of
food up through the food chain. It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to support
healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff. The health of
animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in contaminated water. In addition
water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate contaminants in their bodies. When
other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminant than they
would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination.


Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the
ground by manmade or natural processes. Depending on the study of rocks of the area, groundwater may
rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink
deeper into the earth. In many parts of fhe world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used
for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry.


Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots.
Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled up
soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals.


Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as contaminants
are <b>absorbed</b> from the lungs into other parts of the body. Certain air contaminants can also harm animals
and humans when they contact the skin. Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be
affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air.

<b>AFTERNOON TEA</b>


In far too many places in England today, the agreeable habit of taking afternoon tea has vanished.
'Such a shocking waste of time,' says one. 'Quite unnecessary, if one has had lunch or (39) _______ to
eat in the evening,' says another.


All very true, no doubt but what a lot of innocent pleasure these strong-minded people are missing!
The very ritual of tea-making, warming the pot, (40)_______ sure that the water is just boiling, inhaling
the fragrant steam, arranging the tea- cozy to fit snugly around the container, all the preliminaries lead
up to the exquisite pleasure of sipping the brew from thin porcelain, and helping oneself to hot buttered
scones and strawberry jam, a slice of feather-light sponge cake or home-made shortbread.


Taking tea is a highly civilized pastime, and fortunately is still (41) _______ favor in <i>Thrush Green</i>,


(42)_______ the inhabitants have got it down to a fine art. It is common practice in that pleasant village



(43) _______ friends to tea rather than lunch or dinner.

were growing up. They mentioned walking miles to school in the snow, or doing hours of manual labor
for little pay. Life has changed greatly since then, and it seems to get easier year by year. In fact, with
the help of robots we soon might have to do much at all. But is this a good thing?


By 2030, it's estimated that robotics will be a $10 billion business worldwide. Companies are
already starting to integrate them into the workforce. The electronics manufacturer Foxconn is drawing
up plans to launch a factory within the next 10 years that's completely staffed by robot workers.
Meanwhile, an American company Briggo has invented a robot that serves gourmet-quality coffee to
customers. With the push of a button it will crush coffee beans, measure exact quantities of water, and
even wave a steam wand to ensure customers get the perfect cream on top. Unlike human baristas, it can
serve multiple drinks at once and work all day and night without a break.


Robots are also invading our homes. The Rooma is a mini-robot that vacuums rooms automatically
according to a schedule. The Robomow is a device that will cut the grass for you while you sit in the
shade. Then there's the Nanda clocky, an alarm clock that makes sure that even the deepest sleepers get
up on time. The clock is attached to a pair of wheels, and it will randomly move around the room. Once
you finally catch it, you're probably too awake to hit the snooze button. Although these early home


robots are somewhat basic, they will likely become more capable as times goes on.


Although robots certainly help us to eliminate <i><b>tedious</b></i> tasks, many people are concerned about a
future filled with robots. Some fear that humanity will start to decline if machines do everything for us.
Others have even warned about the robot rebellion, in which robots become so smart that they may
decide to turn on their masters. These ideas may seem a bit far-fetched, but there are certainly lots of
questions that need to be answered before everyone opens up to the idea of a robotic future.


<b> Question 44.</b><i> What is the last paragraph mainly about?</i>


<b>A.</b> How people in local communities are supporting robots.
<b>B.</b> A few of the latest robots on the market today.


<b>C.</b> A very amusing science-fiction story about robots.
<b>D.</b> Some reasons why people don't accept robots yet.

<b>A.</b> The idea of robotics may seem far-fetched. <b>B.</b> Robots may do some harm to humans


<b>C.</b> Robots may be dominant at the workplace. <b>D.</b> It takes some time for people to accept robots.
<b> Question 47.</b><i> What would happen if you pressed the snooze button?</i>


<b>A.</b> The alarm would stop, but go off again soon <b>B.</b> The alarm clock would turn off forever
<b>C.</b> You would have to wake up immediately <b>D.</b> Nothing would happen at all



<b> Question 48.</b><i>How is Briggo's invention superior to human workers?</i>


<b>A.</b> It is more knowledgeable about coffee-making. <b>B.</b> It is better at conversation.

<b> </b>Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding
natural resources. We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source of


<b> THE END</b>


</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(12)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=12>

environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production
practices. We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the
environment. Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which is abandoned and
poorly stored. <i><b>It</b></i> represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it degrades and leaks
into the earth without any control at all.


Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can affect all levels of an
ecosystem. It can affect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability of
food up through the food chain. It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to support
healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff. The health of
animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in contaminated water. In addition
water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate contaminants in their bodies. When
other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminant than they
would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination.


Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the
ground by manmade or natural processes. Depending on the study of rocks of the area, groundwater may
rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink
deeper into the earth. In many parts of fhe world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used
for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry.


Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots.
Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled up
soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals.



Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as contaminants
are <b>absorbed</b> from the lungs into other parts of the body. Certain air contaminants can also harm animals
and humans when they contact the skin. Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be
affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air.

<b>The Rise of Robots</b>


As kids, our grandparents frequently scared us by talking about how difficult life was when they
were growing up. They mentioned walking miles to school in the snow, or doing hours of manual labor
for little pay. Life has changed greatly since then, and it seems to get easier year by year. In fact, with
the help of robots we soon might have to do much at all. But is this a good thing?

Meanwhile, an American company Briggo has invented a robot that serves gourmet-quality coffee to
customers. With the push of a button it will crush coffee beans, measure exact quantities of water, and
even wave a steam wand to ensure customers get the perfect cream on top. Unlike human baristas, it can
serve multiple drinks at once and work all day and night without a break.


Robots are also invading our homes. The Rooma is a mini-robot that vacuums rooms automatically
according to a schedule. The Robomow is a device that will cut the grass for you while you sit in the

for little pay. Life has changed greatly since then, and it seems to get easier year by year. In fact, with
the help of robots we soon might have to do much at all. But is this a good thing?



By 2030, it's estimated that robotics will be a $10 billion business worldwide. Companies are
already starting to integrate them into the workforce. The electronics manufacturer Foxconn is drawing
up plans to launch a factory within the next 10 years that's completely staffed by robot workers.
Meanwhile, an American company Briggo has invented a robot that serves gourmet-quality coffee to
customers. With the push of a button it will crush coffee beans, measure exact quantities of water, and
even wave a steam wand to ensure customers get the perfect cream on top. Unlike human baristas, it can
serve multiple drinks at once and work all day and night without a break.


Robots are also invading our homes. The Rooma is a mini-robot that vacuums rooms automatically
according to a schedule. The Robomow is a device that will cut the grass for you while you sit in the
shade. Then there's the Nanda clocky, an alarm clock that makes sure that even the deepest sleepers get
up on time. The clock is attached to a pair of wheels, and it will randomly move around the room. Once
you finally catch it, you're probably too awake to hit the snooze button. Although these early home
robots are somewhat basic, they will likely become more capable as times goes on.


Although robots certainly help us to eliminate <i><b>tedious</b></i> tasks, many people are concerned about a
future filled with robots. Some fear that humanity will start to decline if machines do everything for us.
Others have even warned about the robot rebellion, in which robots become so smart that they may
decide to turn on their masters. These ideas may seem a bit far-fetched, but there are certainly lots of
questions that need to be answered before everyone opens up to the idea of a robotic future.


<b>Question 9.</b><i>How is Briggo's invention superior to human workers?</i>


<b>A.</b> It can operate machinery. <b>B.</b> It is better at conversation.
<b>C.</b> It is more knowledgeable about coffee-making. <b>D.</b> It never has to stop.


<b> Question 10.</b><i> What would happen if you pressed the snooze button?</i>

<b> </b>Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding
natural resources. We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source of
environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production
practices. We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the
environment. Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which is abandoned and
poorly stored. <i><b>It</b></i> represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it degrades and leaks
into the earth without any control at all.

other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminant than they
would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination.


Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the
ground by manmade or natural processes. Depending on the study of rocks of the area, groundwater may
rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink
deeper into the earth. In many parts of fhe world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used
for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry.


Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots.
Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled up
soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals.


Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as contaminants


are <b>absorbed</b> from the lungs into other parts of the body. Certain air contaminants can also harm animals
and humans when they contact the skin. Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be
affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air.

<i><b>Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the</b></i>
<i><b>correct answer to each of the questions</b></i>


<b> </b>Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding
natural resources. We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source of
environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production
practices. We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the
environment. Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which is abandoned and
poorly stored. <i><b>It</b></i> represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it degrades and leaks
into the earth without any control at all.


Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can affect all levels of an


ecosystem. It can affect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability of


</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(27)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=27>

food up through the food chain. It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to support
healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff. The health of
animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in contaminated water. In addition
water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate contaminants in their bodies. When
other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminant than they
would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination.


Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the
ground by manmade or natural processes. Depending on the study of rocks of the area, groundwater may
rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink
deeper into the earth. In many parts of fhe world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used
for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry.


Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots.
Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled up
soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals.


Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as contaminants
are <b>absorbed</b> from the lungs into other parts of the body. Certain air contaminants can also harm animals
and humans when they contact the skin. Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be
affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air.

<b>The Rise of Robots</b>


</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(29)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=29>

the help of robots we soon might have to do much at all. But is this a good thing?


By 2030, it's estimated that robotics will be a $10 billion business worldwide. Companies are
already starting to integrate them into the workforce. The electronics manufacturer Foxconn is drawing
up plans to launch a factory within the next 10 years that's completely staffed by robot workers.
Meanwhile, an American company Briggo has invented a robot that serves gourmet-quality coffee to
customers. With the push of a button it will crush coffee beans, measure exact quantities of water, and
even wave a steam wand to ensure customers get the perfect cream on top. Unlike human baristas, it can


serve multiple drinks at once and work all day and night without a break.


Robots are also invading our homes. The Rooma is a mini-robot that vacuums rooms automatically
according to a schedule. The Robomow is a device that will cut the grass for you while you sit in the
shade. Then there's the Nanda clocky, an alarm clock that makes sure that even the deepest sleepers get
up on time. The clock is attached to a pair of wheels, and it will randomly move around the room. Once
you finally catch it, you're probably too awake to hit the snooze button. Although these early home
robots are somewhat basic, they will likely become more capable as times goes on.


Although robots certainly help us to eliminate <i><b>tedious</b></i> tasks, many people are concerned about a
future filled with robots. Some fear that humanity will start to decline if machines do everything for us.
Others have even warned about the robot rebellion, in which robots become so smart that they may
decide to turn on their masters. These ideas may seem a bit far-fetched, but there are certainly lots of
questions that need to be answered before everyone opens up to the idea of a robotic future.


<b> Question 33.</b><i> What would happen if you pressed the snooze button?</i>


<b>A.</b> Nothing would happen at all <b>B.</b> The alarm would stop, but go off again soon
<b>C.</b> You would have to wake up immediately <b>D.</b> The alarm clock would turn off forever
<b> Question 34.</b><i> Which of the following is <b>NOT</b> true about the concerns over roboties?</i>


<b>A.</b> Robots may be dominant at the workplace. <b>B.</b> Robots may do some harm to humans
<b>C.</b> It takes some time for people to accept robots. <b>D.</b> The idea of robotics may seem far-fetched.
<b> Question 35.</b><i> The word "<b>tedious</b>" in the last paragraph mostly means ______________.</i>


<b>A.</b> intelligent <b>B.</b> expensive <b>C.</b> difficult <b>D.</b> boring


<b> Question 36.</b><i>How is Briggo's invention superior to human workers?</i>


<b>A.</b> It is better at conversation. <b>B.</b> It is more knowledgeable about coffee-making.


<b>C.</b> It can operate machinery. <b>D.</b> It never has to stop.


<b> Question 37.</b><i> What is the last paragraph mainly about?</i>
<b>A.</b> A few of the latest robots on the market today.
<b>B.</b> Some reasons why people don't accept robots yet.
<b>C.</b> A very amusing science-fiction story about robots.
<b>D.</b> How people in local communities are supporting robots.
