they are robots The competition's full name is ‘Robot Soccer World Cup’, and the aim is to create, by the middle of the 21st century, a team of robot footballers that are able to play against and beat the winners of the real World Cup In order for robots to play football, robotics companies have had to develop special technologies A robot can't just run onto the field and start kicking the ball So each robot is fitted with a webcam which is connected to a computer inside the robot The robot is able to see where the other players are, where the goal is and, most importantly, where the ball is They are programmed to make their own decisions and during the match the robots' creators are not allowed to tell them what to The robots are, however, able to communicate with other members of their team, via a wireless network There is a long way to go before robots will be able to compete against humans They need to become more intelligent and become able to react more quickly and anticipate the game But the technologies that are being developed for scoring goals have other uses as well It may be possible to develop robots that can be used in search and rescue, for example, finding people trapped in buildings after earthquakes They may not be as fun to watch as real footballers, but at least they don't demand enormous salaries! Page (Adapted from Solutions 3rd Edition by Tim Falla and Paul A Davies) Question 39 What is the passage mainly about?

A The robots can’t talk with other members or people during the match B The movement of each robot is controlled by the captain of the team C Robot footballers are more exciting than professional players to watch D Robots need increased intelligence and better movements to play against humans Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50 A diver descends into an underwater cave, a scientist researches a dangerous disease, and an entrepreneur invests in a new business Each time we try something new, we take a risk Sometimes, like the diver or the businessman, we take big risks, usually for obvious reasons-for fame, for money, or to save lives Most people will take some risk to achieve one of these goals But as the danger increases, the number of people willing to go forward decreases Only extreme risk-takers continue on The question is: What exactly drives these people to go on when others would stop? To answer this question, scientists are studying the biological factors involved in risk-taking Their research focuses on certain chemicals in the brain An important chemical in risk-taking is dopamine It motivates us to seek out and learn new things, and it helps us process emotions like anxiety and fear When we accomplish a task, dopamine produces a feeling of satisfaction; it makes us feel good The riskier the task, the more dopamine we produce, and the better we feel Dopamine production may make us feel good, but being in a high-risk situation for an extended period of time is also stressful and can be dangerous Successful risk-takers must learn to deal with the fear associated with high-risk situations to reduce stress and stay safe In reality, adapting to risk is something we all learn to Take, for example, learning to drive a car At first, a new driver may be afraid to travel on freeways In time, though, as the driver gains experience, he or she will move comfortably into speeding traffic and will worry less about the danger The work that marine biologist and deep-sea diver Rhian Waller does illustrates this well She studies life in some of the deepest and coldest waters on Earth How does Waller control her fear and stay safe in these high-risk situations? "It comes with practice," she says "It's knowing exactly what to when something goes wrong We prepare well for each of our expeditions, and we try to minimize the number of risks we take." Of course, a person doesn't have to be a deep-sea diver to be a risk-taker Taking risks is part of being human We are all motivated to experience new things In order to so, we have to take chances and, of course, we may fail (Adapted from Reading Explorer by Nancy Douglas and David Bohlke) Question 44 Which best serves as the title for the passage? A Does Taking Risks Really Help Us Grow? B Mysteries of Dopamine - A Recipe for Success C Being a Risk-Taker: Are You Brave Enough? Page D The Nature of Taking Risks Question 45 According to paragraph 1, one reason why we take large risks is to _ A find people trapped in dangerous situations B become famous C donate money to charity D help people in need Question 46 The word drives in paragraph mostly means _ A encourages B limits C invites D prevents Question 47 The word it in paragraph refers to _ A research B dopamine C emotion D task Question 48 The word associated in paragraph can be best replaced by _ A avoided B unexpected C depended D connected Question 49 Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A Practicing a risky activity can actually reduce the fear of it B Rhian Waller can overcome shyness because she’s an experienced diver C The daunting prospect of failure will certainly deter some people from taking risks D Success is always linked with the desire for trying new things THE END Page
