(每小题：2 分)
Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Since the dawn of human ingenuity (独创性), people have devised greater and greater tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty. That compulsion (强制) has resulted in attempts to make robots, machines with human capabilities. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun to come close. As a result, the modern world is increasingly full of intelligent
gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum (忙碌) to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robot drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization (小型化) of electronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with perfect accuracy—far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone.
But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves-goals that pose a real challenge. "While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error," says Dave Lavery, manager of a program at NASA, "we can't yet give a robot enough 'common sense' to reliably interact with a dynamic world."
Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced very mixed results. Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970s when it appeared that transistor (晶体管) circuits might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 2010,
researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.
1.
B. the wide use of machines in manufacturing industry
C. the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous work
D. the clever tackling of dangerous and boring work
2. The word "gizmos" (paragraph 2) most probably means
________.
A. programs
B. experts
C. devices
Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in ________. A. the use of machines to produce science fiction
D. creatures
3. According to the text, what is beyond man's ability now is to
design a robot that can ________.
A. fulfill delicate tasks like performing brain surgery
B. interact with human beings orally
C. have a little common sense
D. respond independently to a changing world
4.
B. People have both successes and failures with robots.
C. The making of robots will always meet mixed successes.
D. Robots and people should never be mixed.
5.
B. The 60s and 70s.
C. Researchers.
D. The human brain.
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last
December. This near-tripling (几乎三倍) of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled (四倍的), and 1979-1980, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic
decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom (沮丧) and doom (厄运) this time? What made people optimistic about robots? A. Transistor circuits. What does the author think? A. Robots will always require supervision.
Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. Rich economies are less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price. Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of GDP (in constant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD estimates in its latest
Economic Outlook that if oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25-0.5% of GDP. That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing emerging economies—to which heavy industry has shifted —have become more energy-intensive, and so could be more seriously squeezed.
One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general product-price inflation and global excess demand. A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline.
6.
B. Global economic decline.
C. The gloom and doom of this time.
D. OPEC supply-cuts.
7.
B. The economy is going to get better.
C. Oil prices are going to triple.
D. Energy conservation is necessary.
8. What has new technology lead to? What are newspapers having people believe? A. The rise in oil is going to cause serious problems. What does the author describe as frightening? A. The 1973 oil shock.
A. Double-digit inflation.
B. Reduced oil dependency.
C. Steel production.
D. Energy conservation.
9.
B. Worrying will not help.
C. We need not worry.
D. People will be seriously squeezed in the future.
10.
From the text we can see that the writer seems ________.
A. optimistic
B. sensitive
C. sad
D. scared
Why does the author tell us "not to lose sleep"? A. We will need energy from sleep.
