engineering thought intelligence fictional
intellectual behave exercise computation
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) would be the possession of intelligence, or the (16)
_exercise___________ of thought, by machines such as computers. Since computers give every
outward appearance of performing (17) ___intellectual___________ tasks, the question arises: "Are
they really thinking?" And if they are really thinking, are they not. then, owed similar rights to rational
human beings? Many (18) __fictional____________ explorations of AI in literature and film explore
these very questions.
The attempt to discover and implement the computational ability means to make machines (19)
____behave__________ in ways that would be called intelligent if a human were so behaving, or to
make them do things that would require (20) ___intelligence___________ if done by men.

III. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
 Singularity may be near
As technology accelerates at an exponential rate, progress would eventually become virtually
immediate - a singularity. Furthermore, when computers advanced, they would merge with other
technologies, such as nanotechnology and robotics.
The first industrial robot, Unimate, first arrived on the GM assembly line in 1962, welding auto
bodies together. Since then, automation has quietly slipped into our lives. From automatic teller
machines in the 1970's to the autonomous Roomba vacuum cleaner in 2002, machines are
increasingly doing the work of humans. Robotics makes robots work safely around humans and learn
new tasks in minutes. Military robots are becoming commonplace on the battlefield and soldiers are
developing emotional bonds with them.
Although you think that automation only applies to low skill, mechanical jobs, robots are also
invading the creative realm. As the power of technology continues to grow exponentially - computers
will be more than a thousand times more powerful in 20 years - robots will take on even more tasks.
We will also have to change how we view work. Much like in the industrial revolution when
machines replaced physical labour, new technologies are now replacing cognitive tasks. Humans,
therefore, will have to become more adept at things that machines can’t do, namely dealing with
other humans, and social skills will beat cognitive skills in the marketplace.
While technologies will continue to become exponentially more powerful, the decisions we make
are still our own.
21.Singularity will become a reality when _________.
A. computers develop faster than other technologies B. technology develops faster and faster
C. all technologies will merge into one D. technology decreases at an exponential rate
22.All of the following are true about applications of robots EXCEPT that _________.
A. they have been used as soldiers with emotions B. they have been used in car manufacturing
C. they have been used in banking D. they have been used to do domestic chores
23.New technologies can make robots _________.
A. replace physical labour B. invade the world
C. change our view of work D. do thinking processes
24.In the future, maybe _________.
A. robots will do all the work from humans B. new technologies make robots replace humans
C. communications are more important than thinking
D. we can’t decide our future because computers are so powerful
25.The word “adept” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A. skilful B. suitable C. adequate D. reliable

VI. Choose the word or phrase among A, B, C or D that best fits the blank space in the
following passage.
The Robots Are Doing The Thinking
Some robots may take care of the dishes, do your laundry, keep the house clean, or even go to
the store to do your shopping. Robots that use artificial intelligence are the ones that a lot of people
are holding (26) ______. Not only will these robots be able to take care of (27) ______, but they will
be able to learn as well.
There are some types of robots that already use a form of artificial intelligence called “swarm
intelligence”. As a(n) (28) ______ of how this works, scientists have created underwater robots that
will be used to repair coral reefs that have been damaged. What these robots do is work together to
rebuild damaged reefs. As they (29) ______, each one knows what has been done in one area of a
reef and can help build other areas or build onto something that another robot has done. Working
together, the robots create a new reef that can then be (30) ______ to grow and thrive (31) ______
its own.
Amazon, the major electronic commerce company, has recently come (32) ______ an ingenious
idea. Instead of (33) ______ a package delivered to a customer via delivery truck, Amazon will send
out flying drones that will (34) ______ a package to a person’s house for delivery almost immediately.
Just think about how amazing it would be when you order a small item from Amazon, choose
immediate delivery, and within an hour a drone lands in your front yard and leaves your package for
you. These types of robots could (35) ______ to be a dream come true for customers who like to get
their orders super fast.
26. A. out on B. out for C. over D. out
27. A. jobs B. chores C. careers D. offices
28. A. model B. copy C. representation D. example
29. A. speak B. write C. share D. communicate
30. A. left B. gone away C. stayed D. survived
31. A. with B. by C. on D. for
32. A. out B. out in C. out with D. over
33. A. having B. asking C. making D. doing
34. A. cause B. provide C. bring D. transmit
35. A. make out B. make out C. turn out D. turn in

VII. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
The Rise of Robots
As kids, our grandparents frequently scared us by talking about how difficult life was when they
were growing up. They mentioned walking miles to school in the snow, or doing hours of manual
labour for little pay. Life has changed greatly since then, and it seems to get easier year by year. In
fact, with the help of robots we soon might have to do much at all. But is this a good thing?
By 2030. it's estimated that robotics will be a $10 billion business worldwide. Companies are
already starting to integrate them into the workforce. The electronics manufacturer Foxconn is
drawing up plans to launch a factory within the next 10 years that’s completely staffed by robot
workers. Meanwhile, an American company Briggo has invented a robot that serves gourmet-quality
coffee to customers. With the push of a button it will crush coffee beans, measure exact quantities of
water, and even wave a steam wand to ensure customers get the perfect cream on top. Unlike
human baristas, it can serve multiple drinks at once and work all day and night without a break.
Robots are also invading our homes. The Rooma is a mini-robot that vacuums rooms
automatically according to a schedule. The Robomow is a device that will cut the grass for you while
you sit in the shade. Then there’s the Nanda clocky, an alarm clock that makes sure that even the
deepest sleepers get up on time. The clock is attached to a pair of wheels, and it will randomly move
around the room. Once you finally catch it, you’re probably too awake to hit the snooze button.
Although these early home robots are somewhat basic, they will likely become more capable as
times goes on.
Although robots certainly help us to eliminate tedious tasks, many people are concerned about a
future filled with robots. Some fear that humanity will start to decline if machines do everything for us.
Others have even warned about the robot rebellion, in which robots become so smart that they may
decide to turn on their masters. These ideas may seem a bit far-fetched, but there are certainly lots of
questions that need to be answered before everyone opens up to the idea of a robotic future.
36.According to the first paragraph, how is life changed since our grandparents’ time?
A. Children have to walk longer distances to school. B. The education system has got much worse.
C. Things aren’t as hard as they once were. D. It hasn't changed much at all.
37.How is Briggo’s invention superior to human workers?
A. It is better at conversation. B. It never has to stop.
C. It is more knowledgeable about coffee-making. D. It can operate machinery.
38.What would happen if you pressed the snooze button?
A. The alarm clock would turn off forever. B. You would have to wake up immediately.
C. Nothing would happen at all. D. The alarm would stop, but go off again soon.
39.Which of the following is NOT true about the concerns over robotics?
A. Robots may be dominant at the workplace. B. Robots may do some harm to humans.
C. The ideas of robotics may seem far-fetched. D. It takes some time for people to accept robots
40.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Some reasons why people don’t accept robots yet
B. A very amusing science-fiction story about robots
C. How people in local communities are supporting robots
 D. A few of the latest robots on the market today

VIII. Complete the conversation about the concerns about artificial intelligence, using the
responses (A-G) given. There are two extra ones.
A. In fact, the main concern of the beneficial-AI movement isn’t with robots but with intelligence itself.
B. This will lead to an intelligence explosion; and whether this is something we should welcome or fear.
C. Humans don't generally hate ants, but we’re more intelligent than they are.
D. This means that if we cede our position as smartest on our planet, it’s possible that we might
also cede control.
E. Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak. Bill Gates, and many other big names in
science and technology have recently expressed concern in the media and via letters about
the risks posed by AI.
F. If we’re no longer the smartest, are we assured to remain in control?
G. Thanks to recent breakthroughs, many AI milestones, which experts viewed as decades
away merely five years ago, have now been reached.
Mai: We’ve learned about the artificial intelligence. I've heard that many famous scientists
expressed their concern about AI.
Simon: (41) E______________________________________________________
Mai: Why are they so concerned about that?
Simon: (42) G______________________________________________________
Mai: AI has been developed so fast, and some scientists cannot imagine what will happen next.
Simon: Most AI researches mentioned now would happen before 2060. (43) B________
Mai: Millions of workers may lose their jobs. AI has the potential to become more intelligent than
any human, so we have no way of predicting how it will behave.
Simon: We now control the planet, not because we’re the strongest, fastest or biggest, but because
we're the smartest. (44) F_________________________________________
Mai: That’s the reason Stephen Hawking warns that rise of robots may be disastrous for mankind.
Simon: Intelligence enables control: humans control tigers not because we are stronger, but because
we are smarter. (45) D____________________________________________
Mai: We created AI and then AI would create a type that may be more intelligent.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Robots in Factories
Robots can perform the tasks which humans find dangerous, boring or difficult. They can do the
work with constant speed and precision and they continue and finish the work without feeling sick.
(46) E
(47) C
They are used in dangerously polluted environments such as the chemical spills and radioactive in
the nuclear power plants and they are used in the radioactive waste clean-up.
They minimize the material waste, they can save the time and effort and their movements are
always exact. (48) F
They made the businesses achieve more benefits, and they can reduce the companies' loss.
The industries prefer utilizing the robots than the human workers, so the unemployment rate will
increase. (49) A
(50) D
 Using the industrial robots without planning in the factories does not guarantee the results, so the
companies will have the difficulty to achieve their goals.
