Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the 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 produced 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 machines, 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.
Outside of industry, robots have also been developed and put into use by governments and scientists in
situations where humans might be in danger. For example, they can be sent in to investigate an unexploded
bomb or an accident at a nuclear power plant. Researchers also use robots to collect samples of hot rocks or
gases in active volcanoes. In space exploration, robots have performed many key tasks where humans could
not be present, such as on the surface of Mars. In 2004, two robotic Rovers, small six-wheeled computerized
cars, were sent to Mars.
41. When did the word robot appear?
A. before the 1920s B. in the early 1920s C. in the mid-1920s D. in the late 1920s
42. Which of these statements is TRUE about Karel Capek?
A. He was famous American playwright.

Page4
B. He was the first to create the word "robot”. C. He invented a machine that can think like humans.
D. He made a robot kill a person.
43. What does the word they in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. terrifying creatures B. humans C. science fiction films D. industrial robots
44. What are industrial robots like?
A. They are computer-controlled machines. B. They are built with metal arms and legs.
C. They behave like humans. D. They can think like humans.
45. What can be inferred from the passage about robots?
A. Their appearance negatively affects the job market B. They can stop active volcanoes from erupting.
C. They help humans travel to the outer space. D. They take away some jobs but offer some in
return.
Choose the letter A, B, C or D to complete the passage below
It may be that media have made the AI safety debate seem more (46)_______than it really is. After all, fear
sells, and articles using out-of-context quotes to (47) _______ imminent doom can generate more clicks than
nuanced and balanced ones. (48) _______, two people who only know about each other’s positions from
media quotes are likely (49)_______ think they disagree more than they really do. For example, a techno-
skeptic who only read about Bill Gates’s position in a British tabloid may mistakenly think Gates believes
superintelligence to be imminent. Similarly, someone in the beneficial-AI movement (50) _______ who
knows nothing about Andrew Ng’s position except his quote about overpopulation on Mars may mistakenly
think he doesn’t care about AI safety, whereas in fact, he does. The crux is simply that because Ng’s timeline
estimates are longer, he naturally tends to prioritize short-term AI challenges over long-term ones.

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 39 to 43.
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees' homes and offices. For
employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the
location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when
the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A
recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. But although
the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business
Week published "The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn't telecommuting
become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many
managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across
the country would be too difficult, or at least systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the manager's responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the
opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that
they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office
setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really
get away from the office.
Question 39 . How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?
A. More than predicted in Business Week B. More than 8 million
C. Fewer than last year D. Fewer than estimated in USA Today
Question 40 . The phase “of no consequence” means ____.
A. of no use B. irrelevant C. of no good D. unimportant
Question 41 . The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting EXCEPT ____.
A. the opportunities for advancement B. the different system of supervision
C. the lack of interaction with a group D. the work place is in the home
Question 42 . The word “them” in the second paragraph relent to ____.
A. telecommuter B. systems C. executives D. responsibilities
Question 43 . The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees ____.
A. need regular interaction with their families.
B. are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office.

Page12
 C. feel that a work area in their home is away from the office.
D. are ignorant of telecommuting.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 44 to 50 .
INTERNET JOBS
Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be a trained programmer to work online. Of course,
there are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer skills, but the growth of new media has
opened up a wide range of Internet career opportunities requiring only a minimal level of technical expertise.
Probably one of the most well-known online job opportunities is the job of Webmaster. However, it is hard to
define one basic job description for this position. The qualifications and responsibilities depend on what
tasks a particular organization needs a Webmaster to perform.
To specify the job description of a Webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and software the
website the Webmaster will manage is running on. Different types of hardware and software require different
