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 33 to 40.

Most of us associate robots with films such as Star Wars, I, Robot or AI, but in reality they have more to do with social issues and politics rather than science fiction The term robot first made its appearance in a play entitled Rossum’s Universal Robots written almost a century ago by a Czechoslovakian playwright by the name of Karel Capek Capek got the name robot from the Slavic word ‘robota’ which means forced labour In his play, he portrays a society where robots,

which look human, are mass produced to work in the place of people

Capeks story was well received by the critics but never really got credit for being the source of the notion of robots The

play has significant relevance to our society today, as humanoid-type robots are being created to fulfil a wide range oftasks Robot engineers are not only developing mindless worker drones, but are attempting to create human-like companionrobots for people Consequently, the question of what actually makes us human is the subject of lively debate

In the USA, sociable robotics is developing at a relatively rapid rate and a human companion type of robot could soon be

a reality Japanese researchers see a very bright future for these robots who will serve as friends or family to the lonely.Nevertheless, one needs to ask if a human being can have a relationship with a machine in the same way as they do withother people or animals, and if so, what effect this could have on our society The success of robot toys or virtual petssuggests that this type of relationship is possible

Research shows that children tend to have similar relationships with humans as with non-humans whereas the same istrue for adults only with pets or when the robot is designed to look like a child This is probably because robots displaysuperficial emotions and cannot as yet replace human touch But will these machines one day succeed in replacing humans? Some paint a very dark picture of a robot society and predict that artificially intelligent machines will take control of theentire planet and dominate the human race However, robot technology is still in its infancy and the idea of them takingover the world is pure fantasy to most of us, including scientists In fact, most robots can only perform very basic tasks andeven the most advanced robot that is capable of expressing over forty different emotions seems to do so in a totally randommanner, regardless of what is going on around it

In spite of the simplicity of today’s robots, robotic technology is impacting our everyday lives in a dramatic way.Nowadays, our robots are becoming more and more like those portrayed in Capeks work In a society where human

relationships are so often strained, it is no surprise that the possibility for human-robot relationships is increasing.

Question 33: In line 6,‘was well received by the critics’ means

A reviewers thought the story was good B they praised the w riter for his linguistic skills.

C the story was sent to a lot of critics D the author was criticised by other writers.

Question 34: The word “strained” in the last sentence means

Question 35: Adults tend to have good relationships with

A childlike robots B robot toys C non-humans D virtual pets.

Question 36: Japanese researchers think that robots could

A be useful to engineers B be put to use as servants.

C be of use to families D be of use to people who live alone.

Question 37: When most people think of robots, they tend to think of

Question 38: Most critics ignored the fact that

A Capek came up with the idea of robots B robots can do a lot of tasks,

C robots are important in our society D humanoid robots are being created.

Question 39: There is a lot of discussion about

A the truth about companionship B the nature of a humanoid robot.

Question 40: Advanced robots still only

A express emotions randomly B perform basic tasks.

C express over forty emotions D react to emotions just like humans.

Most of us associate robots with films such as Star Wars, I, Robot or AI, but in reality they have more to do with social issues and politics rather than science fiction The term robot first made its appearance in a play entitled Rossum’s Universal Robots written almost a century ago by a Czechoslovakian playwright by the name of Karel Capek Capek got the name robot from the Slavic word ‘robota’ which means forced labour In his play, he portrays a society where robots,

which look human, are mass produced to work in the place of people

Capeks story was well received by the critics but never really got credit for being the source of the notion of robots The

play has significant relevance to our society today, as humanoid-type robots are being created to fulfil a wide range oftasks Robot engineers are not only developing mindless worker drones, but are attempting to create human-like companionrobots for people Consequently, the question of what actually makes us human is the subject of lively debate

In the USA, sociable robotics is developing at a relatively rapid rate and a human companion type of robot could soon be

a reality Japanese researchers see a very bright future for these robots who will serve as friends or family to the lonely.Nevertheless, one needs to ask if a human being can have a relationship with a machine in the same way as they do withother people or animals, and if so, what effect this could have on our society The success of robot toys or virtual petssuggests that this type of relationship is possible

Research shows that children tend to have similar relationships with humans as with non-humans whereas the same istrue for adults only with pets or when the robot is designed to look like a child This is probably because robots displaysuperficial emotions and cannot as yet replace human touch But will these machines one day succeed in replacing humans? Some paint a very dark picture of a robot society and predict that artificially intelligent machines will take control of theentire planet and dominate the human race However, robot technology is still in its infancy and the idea of them takingover the world is pure fantasy to most of us, including scientists In fact, most robots can only perform very basic tasks andeven the most advanced robot that is capable of expressing over forty different emotions seems to do so in a totally randommanner, regardless of what is going on around it

In spite of the simplicity of today’s robots, robotic technology is impacting our everyday lives in a dramatic way.Nowadays, our robots are becoming more and more like those portrayed in Capeks work In a society where human

relationships are so often strained, it is no surprise that the possibility for human-robot relationships is increasing.

Question 38: In line 6,‘was well received by the critics’ means

A reviewers thought the story was good B the author was criticised by other writers.

C the story was sent to a lot of critics D they praised the w riter for his linguistic skills.

Question 39: The word “strained” in the last sentence means

Question 41: Adults tend to have good relationships with

A virtual pets B non-humans C childlike robots D robot toys.

Question 42: There is a lot of discussion about

A what a human really is B the truth about companionship.

C the nature of a humanoid robot D how a robot is made up.

Question 43: Advanced robots still only

A express over forty emotions B express emotions randomly.
