Read the passage
and choose the best anwser to each of the following questions
The word robot first
appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek. In the play, a man
makes a machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up
killing its owner. In the 1940s, the American science fiction writer Isaac
Asimov wrote a series of stories about robots and invented the term robotics,
the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were
developed by an engineer, Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor, George C. Devol.
Together they started Unimation, a
manufacturing company that produces the first real robot in 1961, called the
Unimate. Robots of this type were installed at a General Motors automobile
plant and proved to be a success. They worked reliably and saved money for
General Motors, so other companies were soon acquiring robots as well.
These industrial robots were
nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in science fiction
films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were
simply pieces of computer-controlled machinery, with metal “arms” or “hands”.
Since they were made of metal, they could perform certain jobs that were
difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat.
And since robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted,
they were useful for tasks that would be tiring or boring for humans.
Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in
many factories around the world. Though the use of robots has meant the loss of
some jobs, at the same time other jobs have been created in the design,
development, and production of the robots.
Question 45: What is Unimation?
A. It’s the name of a
robot inventor B. It’s the name
of a robot
C. It’s a robot making
program D. It’s the
producer of the first robot
Question 46: What are industrial robots
like?
A. They behave like
humans. B. They are built with metal arms and legs
C. They can think like
humans D. They
are computer-controlled machines.
Question 47:
Outside of industry, how are robot used?
A. to
replace human in dangerous jobs B.
to be performed in key shows
C. to
investigate unexploded bombs D.
to work in nuclear plants.
Question 48: What can be inferred from the passage about robot?
A. Their
appearance negatively affects the job market.
B. They can
stop active volcanoes from erupting.
C. They
take away some jobs but offer some in return.
D. They
help humans travel to the outer space.
Question 49: What is the author’s attitude towards robots?
