In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person Could there be a place for robots in education after all? British education expert Anthony Seldom thinks so And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027 He predicts robots will the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals Then they will adapt the information to each student It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can One thing is certain, though a robot teacher is better than no teacher at all In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9-16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked Perhaps the question is not ‘Will robots replace teachers?’ but ‘How can robots help teachers?’ Office workers can use software to things like organize and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans best (Adapted from <https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/reading/intermediate-b1-reading>) Question 15 According to the passage, all of the following are mentioned as advantages of robot teachers EXCEPT A higher-paid B unexhausted C unpressured D always ready to work in anywhere Question 16 The word ''diagnosing'' in paragraph mostly means A identifying B discovering C inventing D producing Question 17 The word “they'' in paragraph refers to A robots B students C teachers D brain signals Question 18 According to the passage, some parts of the world A already use robots in teaching jobs B pay robots to teach C use robots to reduce teachers’ marking time D have a shortage of teachers DeThi.edu.vn Trang 2/5 ĐỀ GỐC (3) Question 19 What is the passage mainly about?

A Incoming and outgoing ships are assigned to clearly marked lanes B Ships are not allowed to change their course or their speed while in port C The port controllers guide ship captains by radio D Captains use their journals to determine the hazards in port Question 40 What can be inferred about fuel consumption in the nineteenth century?
